appeared. The compliance date and fine was to comply by September 27, 2014, or a
fine of $50 a day would be imposed thereafter. The violations were corrected on March
14, 2015, having 157 of non-compliance for a fine of $7,850.
Ms. Springer was contacted at the end of February for a lien reduction because the lien
was discovered. There were tenants in the property without the Business Tax Receipt,
The property passed the Business Tax Receipt inspection for the interior, but there were
exterior violations that needed to be addressed, including repair of the outside electrical
plug on the front of the house, repair light fixtures, gutters, paint the building, repair the
rear porch screen, sod the yard and swale, remove trash and debris and obtain a permit
for newly installed windows. It was re -inspected on March 19, 2015, and was eligible
for lien reduction.
Fabiola Angela Danois, 2657 SE 2"a Street, was present on behalf of her parents who
own the property. She requested a complete removal of the lien. They spent over
$4,000, plus other lesser expenses from Home Depot for the repairs. She commented
$4,000 was a lot of money. She apologized for the inconvenience and would make
efforts to continue to comply. Ms. Danois explained they use the home for a rental
property. Ms. Springer was unsure of any prior violations. Ms. Danois explained her
father goes to the property all the time and the tenants put items outside which they told
to remove. They are strict. Ms. Ellis inquired why no one appeared at the initial hearing.
Ms. Danois was unsure about miscommunication, but it was noted her dad signed the
green card.
Based on the testimony of the Respondent and the City, Ms. Ellis reduced the lien from
$7,850, to $1,000, plus the administrative costs for a total of $1,634.12.
