Case No. 12-1809 SunTrust Mortgage Inc. 660 Renaissance Commons
Blvd. No. 2621
Ms. Springer reviewed the Notice of Violation was sent September 13, 2012, pertaining
to a Business Tax Receipt for a rental property. The case was heard December 19,
2012, and no one appeared. The compliance date and fine set by the Board was
January 18, 2013, or a fine of $100 a day would be imposed thereafter. Compliance
was verified on January 12, 2014, accruing a total fine of $69,900 plus administrative
costs. They only had to register the property with the City's vendor, which they did.
Joseph Harmon, representing SunTrust, was present, Ms. Ellis inquired when the
bank took possession of the property and he responded he also represents Keller
Williams. They obtained possession about seven or eight months ago. He handles
weekly inspections of the home and was unaware anything needed to be done, He
requested a reduction and advised it was vacant.
Ms. Springer explained SunTrust took possession in February 2011, and there was a
tenant at the premises at that time. Mr. Harmon did not know why SunTrust did not
send a representative in 2012.
Decision
Based on the 'testimony by the City and the Respondent's Representative, Ms. Ellis
reduced the lien to $7,500, plus administrative costs, because the bank was the owner
since the violation occurred and she did not understand why it took the Bank so long to
respond.

currently vacant except for items he was storing on the premises and he intended to sell
the unit. Ms. Springer advised due to the HOA forwarding their name to the City, staff
