Ms. Springer presented the case. The Notice of Violation was sent January 12, 2015 to
apply for and pass inspection for a Business Tax Receipt inspection, paint the home
exterior, and obtain a permit for the newly installed fence. The case was heard March
18, 2015 and no one appeared. The compliance date and fine was April 17, 2015, or a
fine of $200 a day would be imposed thereafter. The violations were corrected on June
29, 2015, accruing a fine of $14,400 and administrative costs of $634.12.
Joseph Jean explained he had a permit when he first installed the fence, but it took
time to get the permit and make the repairs. His son lives in the home and did not tell
him about the violations. Had he known, he would have addressed it. He called the
Code Officer to find out what had to be done. The mail was sent to 202 SE Gtr, Street in
Delay Beach. There was a signed green card for the prior case, but Mr, Jean explained
for this case, they did not forward the mail to him.
