>> IS THIS JUST THE WINDOWS BECAUSE I THOUGHT THERE WAS AN
AIR CONDITIONING ISSUE AS WELL? >> IT SAYS INSTALLATION OF AC
UNIT. >> THAT WAS DONE BY A LICENSED CONTRACTOR. WE THOUGHT HE PULLED A PERMIT.
I ACTUALLY JUST GOT THIS NOTICE ON THE 31ST OF MARCH.
WE'RE NOT HERE ALL THE TIME AND APPARENTLY, THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE ADDRESS AND WE DIDN'T ACTUALLY GET ANY NOTICES.
SO ANYWAY, HE WAS OUT AND HE WAS PULLING A PERMIT YESTERDAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHY HE DIDN'T PULL A PERMIT.
WE ASSUMED HE DID. AS FAR AS THE WINDOWS GO, WE UNFORTUNATELY APOLOGIZE. IN NEW JERSEY, YOU CAN CHANGE WINDOWS WITHOUT PERMS, DOORS AND SIDING.
[00:40:01]
WE MADE A MISTAKE. WE CHANGED THE WINDOWS THAT WERE NOT FUNCTIONING AND IT WASN'T SAFE.I AM IN THE PROCESS AND HAVE COGNITIVE ISSUES FROM A BAD CONCUSSION I SUFFERED. IT TAKES ME A LITTLE LONGER WHEN IT COMES TO SEARCHING THINGS ON THE INTERNET AND DOING PAPERWORK AND STUFF LIKE THAT. BASICALLY I GOT THIS ON THE 31ST. I WAS HEADED BACK FOR NEW JERSEY FOR MEDICAL STUFF AND JUST GOT BACK.
SO, WE HAVE, I HAVE TALKED TO THE PERMIT OFFICE A FEW TIMES.
PRINTED OUT ALL THE PAPER AND I GOT A QUOTE FOR SHUTTERS BECAUSE THE WINDOWS ARE NOT GOING TO MEET THE CODE THAT YOU NEED.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING.
I JUST HAVE LIKE ONE OR TWO MORE THINGS BEFORE I CAN SUBMIT THE ALL THE STUFF FOR THE PERMITS WITH THE SHUTTERS.
>> >> SO YOU'RE NEEDING TWO PERMITS HERE AM ONE FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE AC UNITS AND THE WINDOWS.
>> THE AC UNIT SHOULD HAVE BEEN APPLIED FOR YESTERDAY BY THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY THAT COMPLETED THE PROJECT.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT SHOWS UP YET OR NOT.
I DIDN'T SEE IT AS OF YESTERDAY. >> I'M NOT SHOWING ANY
APPLICATIONS FOR AN AC PERMIT. >> THEY CAME OUT AND TOOK PICTURES TO MAKE SURE WHAT THE MODEL WAS.
IT TOOK LITERALLY UNTIL YESTERDAY TO ACTUALLY TALK TO THE OWNER AND HE SENT SOMEBODY OUT TO DO ALL THESE PICTURES SO THEY COULD SUBMIT THE PERMIT AND THEY, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO FROM THAT POINT ON. I MEAN OBVIOUSLY SHE SAID I COULD GET ANOTHER AC CONTRACTOR TO COME IN AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IF I CAN'T GET THIS SPECIFIC PERSON TO DO IT.
IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE MORE THAN WILLING TO COMPLY.
I'M NOT SURE WHY IT'S NOT SHOWING THAT.
I WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW UP WITH THIS THEM TODAY.
I THOUGHT THEY DID THAT YESTERDAY.
SO WE'RE WORKING ON IT. >> ALL RIGHT.
NUMBER ONE. THIS CASE WAS INITIATED ON NOVEMBER 24, 2020. THIS IS APRIL 20, 2021.
>> YEAH. WE ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT IT ON MARCH 31ST. THAT WAS THE FIRST NOTICE THAT
WE RECEIVED. >> YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE
WHEN I CALLED THE PERMIT OFFICE. WE TALKED ABOUT IT AND I GAVE HER THE NEW JERSEY ADDRESS BUT THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, IT WAS SIGNED FOR LIKE AS SOON AS I GOT THE NOTICE BUT, THE 31ST WAS THE FIRST WE KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT NEEDING TO GET THE PERMITS.
SO WE WEREN'T IGNORING IT. IN LIGHT OF THE TESTIMONY AND AGAIN THE CASE INITIATED NOVEMBER 24, 2020.

BUT THAT HOT WATER HEATER WAS SAT THERE.
I GOT THEM AND THEY DONE MOVED THE HOT WATER HEATER.
THE DOORS IN THE HOUSE INSIDE THE HOUSE, I WAS TOLD THAT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO HAVE A PERMIT DOOR INSIDE THE HOUSE.
I WAS TOLD THAT IF I DO ANYTHING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE, LIKE ADDING, CUTTING ANOTHER ONE OR DOING WHATEVER, THAT I HAD TO HAVE A PERMIT. SO I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WHAT THEY SAYING ABOUT THE DOORS ALL TORN IN.
I CALL SEVERAL TIMES THAT PEOPLE WERE GOING IN THE HOUSE AT NIGHT AND POOPING AND DOING EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE.
I CALLED THE POLICE MORE THAN FIVE OR SIX TIMES.
THE POLICE CAME OUT THERE AND CAUGHT THEM IN THERE A COUPLE TIMES. I AM SICK AND I'M IN THE BED.
I ONLY CAN DO WHAT I CAN DO. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY DOORS TOOK OFF THAT HOUSE AND PUT ANOTHER ONE ON THERE.
I ONLY HAD THEM TO GO INSIDE AND PUT A NEW TOILET.
AND BATHTUB IN THERE. AND THE FLOOR WAS ROTTING AROUND THE TOILET. AND THEY MOVED THAT FLOOR AND PUT ANOTHER FLOOR DOWN. BUT THEY DIDN'T MOVE ANYTHING AND PUT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE.
I'M NOT AWARE OF WHAT I'M BEING CHARGED OF.
NOW THAT YOU EXPLAIN TO ME. >> MISS HENRY, IS THERE SOMEBODY OCCUPYING THAT STRUCTURE AT NORTH 14TH STREET?

I JUST DON'T KNOW. >> I'M GOING TO MAKE A RULING HERE. AND THEN YOU WILL NEED TO BE IN TOUCH WITH MR. SMITH OR THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT AND THEY
WILL TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED >> OKAY.
>> ANYTHING ELSE MR. SMITH? >> I DID LEAVE THE PICTURES IN
[01:00:04]
HER DOOR. IF SHE GOES TO HER -->> I DON'T LIVE AT 1010 14TH STREET.
>> I LIVE ON EDGE WOOD TERRACE. THAT HOUSE HAD TO BE PAINTED.
I ASKS MISS ELIZABETH YESTERDAY WOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO GET THE, WHAT I HAVE TO HAVE A PERMIT TO GET THE HOUSE PAINTED.
I TOLD AND GUY AT THE STORE TO COME TOGETHER AND TRY TO PAINT THE HOUSE TO GOT Y'ALL OFF MY BACK.
>> OTHER THAN THAT, I HAVE NOTHING FURTHER
>> ANYTHING ELSE? >> IS OKAY FOR ME TO PAINT IT NOW? WHEN I BOUGHT THE HOUSE, IN '87, THEY TOLD ME ANYTHING I DO INSIDE WAS ON ME.
BUT IF I DO ANYTHING ON THE OUTSIDE, I HAD TO HAVE PERMITS TO BUILD ANOTHER ROOM OR WHATEVER.
>> WELL THE CODE HAS CHANGED. >> I DIDN'T KNOW THAT MA'AM, I AM 93 YEARS OLD. I HAD THAT HOUSE SINCE '87.

I WAS ABLE TO GET INSIDE BECAUSE THERE WAS SOMEBODY THERE DOING DRY WALL. AND THERE'S LIKE TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF PICTURES BECAUSE THEY HAD LEFT, THERE WAS NOBODY THERE THE FIRST SET. YOU CAN SEE ON THE FIRST SET, PICTURE C, THAT THE DRY WALL WAS UNFINISHED.
[01:05:05]
AND THEN YOU GO DOWN, IF YOU GO DOWN FURTHER TO THE PICTURES, YOU WILL SEE THAT THEY ACTUALLY ATTEMPTED TO FINISH THE DRY WALL AND THAT'S I. SO THEY HAD, THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING THERE STEADILY AND TRYING TO FINISH THE DRY WALL TO GET IT PAINTED. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T DO ANY ELECTRICAL BUT THERE'S BRAND-NEW ELECTRICAL WIRES INSIDE ALL BOXES. AND NEW PLUMBING.SO, PRETTY MUCH A COMPLETE TOTAL RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PROPERTY

[A. 19-3145 4060 Selvitz Road Johnson, Bobby & Wanda Shaun Coss]
19-3145, EXCUSE ME, 4060 SELVITZ ROAD.>> EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T HAVE A RESPONDENT PRESENT, I WILL LET MR. COSS PRESENT BECAUSE IT SEEMS MORE COMPLICATED.
>> GOOD MORNING. SPECIAL MAGISTRATE.
SHAUN COSS. THIS IS CASE 19-3145 FOR 4060 SELVITZ ROAD. THE PROPERTY IS OWNED BABY AND WANDY JOHNSON OF 4060 SELVITZ ROAD.
5.101. PERMIT REQUIREMENTD AND SECTION 105.4.1.2. EXPIRED PERMIT.
I INITIATED THIS CASE. THE CORRECTIVE ACTION AS OF TODAY LAST VERIFIED ON APRIL 15TH, DID A RECHECK THIS MORNING AND THE PERMIT STATUS HAS NOT CHANGED FOR ANY OF THESE. THIS IS AN UPDATED STATUS.
THERE ARE A FEW DIFFERENT PERMITTING ISSUES THAT ARE AT THIS SITE. STARTING WITH THE SITE WORK PERMIT 18-235. THE SITE WORK PERMIT HAS BEEN APPROVED PREVIOUSLY HOWEVER THAT PERMIT HAS SINCE EXPIRED.
ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE NUMEROUS SIGN IMPROVEMENTS THAT WERE MADE THAT ARE NOT PART OF THAT SITE WORK PERMIT.
SO THE SITE WORK PERMIT NEEDS TO BE REVISED AND IT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED. THE REVISIONS THAT NEED TO BE SUBMITTED INCLUDE TO INCLUDE THE POURING OF SLABS THROUGHOUT THE SITE. TO INCLUDE A CONTAINMENT ZONE THAT WAS CONSTRUCTED INCLUDING THE SLABS AND CONCRETE WALLS AND SUMP PUMPS. THEY NEED TO PROVIDE AN EQUIPMENT LAYOUT FOR ASPHALT PROCESSING EQUIPMENT.
AND THEY NEED TO PROVIDE ATTACHMENT DETAILS FOR ALL ASPHALT PROCESSING EQUIPMENT THAT'S NOT PORTABLE AND READILY MOVABLE. THIS INCLUDES ALL EQUIPMENT THAT'S ON STANDS ANCHORED INTO THE GROUND OR ATTACHED TO SLABS.
AND THEY ALSO NEED TO CORRECT THE LOCATION OF THE OFFICE CONTAINER AND THE TESTING LAB CONTAINER.
EITHER IN THE SITE WORK PERMIT 18235, OR THE PORTABLE BUILDING PERMIT 19-3466. PERMIT 19-3466 IS FOR THE PLACEMENT OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS TO BE A TESTING LAB.
18235 HAS THE PLACEMENT OF A SHIPPING CONTAINER FOR AN OFFICE TRAILER. HOWEVER THE LOCATIONS OF THE OFFICE AND TESTING LAB CONFLICT WITH EACH OTHER ON THE PERMITS.
THEY'RE IN REVERSE ORDER AS WHERE THEY SHOULD BE AS IT'S BEEN PERMITTED. THEY DO NEED TO ALSO REVISE THE
[01:15:01]
APPLICATION. ONE OF THE APPLICATIONS TO INDICATE THE CORRECT LOCATION OF EACH.ANYTHING FURTHER? >> I'M SORRY.
THE ELECTRICAL WORK PERFORMED UNDER 19-3466 WAS A SEPARATE ELECTRICAL PERMIT. HAS ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED.
HOWEVER THE PERMIT HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED.
SO JUST ADVISORY NOTE THE WORK THAT WAS COMPLETED WAS NOT INSPECTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANOTHER PERMIT, 19-1304 THAT HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND CLOSED. AND FINALLY TEMPORARY USE AGREEMENT WITH THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT IS REQUIRED TO OPERATE THE SITE ON A TEMPORARY BASIS UNTIL ALL OF THE PERMITTING MATTERS HAVE BEEN RESOLVED.
THE APPLICANT IS ADVISED TO CONTACT THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENTS TO OBTAIN APPROVALS TO CONDITION OPERATING THIS SITE.
STAFF'S RECOMMEND IS IF THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FINDS A VIOLATION. OBTAIN APPROVAL FOR ALL 180 DAYS UNTIL THE PERMIT HAS BEEN CLOSED.
COMPLY WITH ALL OTHER PERMIT CONDITIONS AND CURE ALL OTHER INSPECTIONS OR A FINE OF $100 A DAY BE ASSESSED.
THE REASON FOR THE ONE 80 DAYS IS THE TENANT HERE IS LEASING ONLY A PORTION OF THE SITE. IT'S BEEN RECOMMENDED BY THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING THAT THE OWNER SPLIT THE PROPERTY INTO A SEPARATE PARCEL SO THAT THE TENANT CAN OCCUPY THAT PORTION OF THE PARCEL AND THE OWNER CAN CONTINUE TO RESOLVE OTHER ISSUES ON THE REMAINING PARCEL. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ISSUES THAT ARE NOT PART OF THIS CASE THAT I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO.
HOWEVER PLANNING DEPARTMENT HAS INDICATED THEY CANNOT APPROVE ANY TYPE OF TEMPORARY USE AGREEMENT, SITE WORK PERMIT ET CETERA FOR THIS OPERATION WITH THE ON GOING ISSUES ON THE PROPERTY AS A WHOLE. SO THE REASON FOR THE 180 DAY COMPLIANCE DEADLINE IS TO ALLOW ESSENTIALLY 90 DAYS FOR THEM TO SPLIT THE PROPERTIES AND THEN ALLOW ANOTHER 90 DAYS FOR THEM TO APPLY FOR AND OBTAIN ANY NECESSARY PERMITTING.
I BELIEVE 180 DAYS WOULD BE SUFFICIENT TIME FOR THATDON.
I ALSO HAVE PHOTOS THAT WERE TAKEN ON NOVEMBER 19TH, 2019, BY I TOOK THE PHOTOS AND THEY DO FAIRLY AND ACCURATELY DEPICT THE
CONDITIONS ON THE PROPERTY. >> THANK YOU.
>> AGAIN, NOTING NO RESPONDENT PRESENT WE MOVE THEM IN AS CITY'S ONE COMPOSITE. THEY WILL BE ADMITTED AS SUCH.
>> I WILL HIGHLIGHT A FEW PICTURES FOR THE RECORD, PHOTOGRAPH A SHOWS ONE OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS ON SITE.
PHOTOGRAPH C SHOWS SOME OF THE ASPHALT PROCESSING EQUIPMENT.
THE EQUIPMENT THAT'S ON STANDS IS WHAT IS REQUIRING ANCHORS, ANCHOR DETAIL. ANOTHER SIDE OF THE ASPHALT PROCESSING EQUIPMENTS. THIS AREA WITH THE YELLOW CONCRETE BARRIER IS THE CONTAINMENT ZONE FOR THE PROCESSING EQUIPMENT THAT ALSO REQUIRES A PERMIT.
THERE'S A SUMP PIT AS WELL AS A CONCRETE SLAB INSIDE OF THE THOSE CONCRETE WALLS WHICH ALL NEEDS TO BE PERMITTED.
AND THIS IS ELECTRICAL WORK FOR ONE OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS.
PHOTOGRAPH H SHOWS THE SUMP PIT WITHIN THE CONTAINMENT AREA.
PHOTOGRAPH I SHOWS CONTAINER WITHIN THE CONTAINMENT ZONE WHICH IS ANCHORED DOWN TO THE CONCRETE SLAB.
PHOTOGRAPH K SHOWS SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL WORK AROUND THE CONTAINMENT ZONE. PHOTOGRAPH L IS OF EQUIPMENT WITHIN THE CONTAINERS, I'M SORRY CONTAINMENT ZONE.
PHOTOGRAPH N IS A DIFFERENT VIEW OF ASPHALT PROCESSING EQUIPMENT ON THE STANDS WHICH IS ANCHORING DOWN TO THIS CONCRETE SLAB.
AND AGAIN FOR THE RECORD, BOBBY AND WANDA JOHNSON ARE NOT PRESENT. AND THERE IS NO REPRESENTATIVE HERE ON THEIR ANYTHING FURTHER?
>> NO, MA'AM. >> AND BASED ON THE EVIDENCE AND
[01:20:02]
TESTIMONY PRESENTED A FIND A VIOLATION EXISTED AT 4060 SELVITZ ROAD. I WILL GIVE THEM 180 DAYS TO RECEIVE THE NECESSARY PERMITS AND INSPECTIONS FOR 180 DAYS.COMPLY WITH ALL OTHER PERMIT CONDITIONS AND CURE ALL OTHER VIOLATIONS NOT REQUIRING A PERMIT OR A FINE OF $100 A DAY BE ASSESSED. 30 DAYS TO APPEAL.
[A. 18-2935 325 S 13th Street Dantilus, Jean Shaun Coss]
THE LAST CASE IS 6 A, 18-2935, 325 SOUTH 13TH STREET, JEAN DANTILUS. IS THE OWNER.>> THIS IS A MASSEY HEARING CONTINUED FROM A PREVIOUS HEARING. 18-2935 FOR 325 SOUTH 13TH STREET. OWNED BY JEAN DANTILUS OF 325 SOUTH 13 STREET. CITY ORDINANCE SECTION 5-1 POINT 105 POINT FOUR .1.2. EXPIRED PERMITS.
THE PERMITS THAT ARE STILL OUTSTANDING, AS YOU MAY RECALL, YOU ORDERED REVIEW AND DETERMINATION REGARDING PERMITS 13-2204 AND 18-1358. THOSE HAVE BEEN RESOLVED.
HOWEVER THE PERMIT FOR THE DECORATIVE DORMER WHICH IS UNDER PERMIT 20-2970, THAT ISSUE IS STILL PENDING AT THE LAST HEARING. WE HAD GRANTED ONE FINAL CONTINUOUS TO ALLOW MR. DANTILUS TO CONSULT WITH HIS ARCHITECT.
THE REVISIONS WERE SUBMITTED. THEY WERE REVIEWED AND THEY WERE APPROVED. THIS PERMIT HAS BEEN READY FOR ISSUANCE FOR TWO TO THREE WEEKS AT THIS POINT.
MR. DANTILUS WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED HIS PERMIT WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP. HIS PERMIT HAS NOT BEEN PICKED UP. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM MR. DANTILIS. MS. BECK WOULD YOU PUT ON THE RECORD IF YOU HAVE HEARD FROM HIM
>> I HAVE NOT HEARD HIM. >> IT'S MY RECOMMENDATION WE RESTART THE FINES THAT WERE STOPPED ON JUNE -- I'M SORRY, FINES PREVIOUSLY STOPPED ON AUGUS AUGUS AUGUS AUGUST 25, 2020, AND RESTART THE FINES AND LIEN.
>> YOU HAVE HAD NO CONTACT AND HE'S BEEN AT EVERY HEARING.
>> FOR THE MOST PART. THEY WERE A FEW MISSED LATE LAST YEAR THAT STAFF CONTINUED AS A COURTESY.
ALL RIGHT. JEAN DANTILUS IS NOT PRESENT NOR IS THERE A REPRESENTATIVE ON HIS BEHALF.
I FIND A VIOLATION EXISTS AT 325 SOUTH 13TH STREET AND THAT HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR VIOLATION. IT'S RECOMMENDED THAT HE OBTAIN A PERMIT FOR THE STRUCTURAL AND DECORATIVE WORK BEING DONE TO THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE THAT IS NOT PERMIT THE SCOPE OF 13-2204.
13-2204 AND 18-1350. THEY HAVE EXPIRED.
HE DID RENEW THOSE THOUGH, RADIO RIGHT?
>> THAT'S CORRECT. THOSE PERMITS WERE RENEWED AND
AGAIN THIS IS A MASSEY HEARING. >> AT THIS POINT WE'RE GOING TO
RESTART THE FINES. >> THAT'S STAFF'S REQUEST.
>> BASED ON THAT REQUEST, I WILL RESTART THE FINES.
>> FOR CLARITY FOR THE ORDER, WILL THE LIEN BE IMPOSED AS OF TODAY OR GRANT ADDITIONAL TIME BEFORE THE LIEN IS IMPOSED.
>> I WILL GRANT HIM ADDITIONAL TIME BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN COMING TO EVERY MEETING. LET'S SET FOR NEXT HEARING DATE.
>> SO RESTART THE FINES AS OF TODAY?
>> YES. AND THEN CONTINUE THIS CASE
[01:25:01]
>> OKAY. SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, IF WE COULD PUT ON THE RECORD FOR THOSE WHO FAILED TO APPEAR WERE NOTICED.
>> I THINK THAT'S THE LAST CASE. >> YES.
MADAM CLERK, HOW WERE THEY NOTIFIED.
>> NOTICE OF HEARING WAS SENT TO THE VIOLATORS CERTIFIED MAIL AND THE GREEN CARD IS RETURNED SIGN, IT'S PLACED IN THE FILE.
IF THE GREEN CARD IS RETURNED UNSIGNED AN AFFIDAVIT OF MAILING IS MAILED TO THE VIOLATOR. 10 DAYS BEFORE THE HEARING, A NOTICE OF HEARING WAS SENT REGULAR U.S. MAIL WITH AN AFFIDAVIT OF MAILING ATTACHED TO IT.
A COPY WAS PLACED IN THE INSPECTOR'S FILE.
10 DAY BEFORE THE HEARING, A POSTER IS PUT IN THE HALL AND AT THE PROPERTY IF QUESTION WITH AN AFFIDAVIT OF POSTING.
IF THE CERTIFICATION CARD IS NOT RETURNED TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT WITHIN 10 DAYS BEFORE THE HEARING, POSTING IS COMPLETED THE SAME WAY AS IF THE CARD WAS RETURNED
>> NO THANK YOU. >> JUST WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR A JOB WELL DONE AS USUA
