O. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, I'LL BE PRESENTING THIS CASE. THIS IS.

CASE NUMBER 21-084. 13 AVENUE O.

THIS IS A MASSY HEARING. THE VIOLATIONS WERE, IPMC, 304, ROOF AND DRAINAGE AND IBM13.2. PROTECTIVE TREATMENT.

A SPECIAL PAG STRAIGHT FOUND THE OWNER VIOLATION AND PROVIDED 30 DA DAYS OR BE FINED $100 PER DAY.

AND DECEMBER 29, 2021, MASSY HEARING WAS RECEIVED.

BALANCE OF FEBRUARY 25TH, 2022, $8021.

THE FINE SIDE IS STILL RUNNING. THIS IS THE MASSEY CRITERIA.

THE GRAVITY OF THE VIOLATION WAS MAYOR.

ANY ACTION TAKEN BY THE VIOLATOR, SHE PAINTED THE HOME ANY PREVIOUS VIOLATION, CREATED BY THE VIOLATOR, GOT CITED TWICE IN THE PAST. DIFFERENT VIOLATION?

>> YES, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN >> OKAY. RECOMMENDATION IS YET

TO BE DETERMINED. >> TO BE DETERMINED.

OKAY I WAS WAITING.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO STATE SOMETHING FOR THE RECORD.

>> AND THIS IS MY HOUSE. I GREW UP IN THIS HOUSE.

IT WAS THE THREE OF US, MY MOM, MY DAD AND MYSELF.

FOR YEARS AFTER MY PARENTS DIED, I COULD NOT STEP FOOT IN THE HOUSE. LAST YEAR, I DID GO IN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MANY, MANY YEARS. I DECIDED AND I SPOKE TO HEATHER, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. SHE GAVE ME A LIST OF THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. DURING THAT TIME, YOUR HONOR, PLEASE UNDERSTAND, IT IS NEVER MY DESIRE TO DISRESPECT THE CITY OR ANYTHING ELSE. WHEN I MADE FIRST CONTACT, I THINK IT WAS APRIL 14TH, WITH THE ROOFER.

THAT'S ONE OF THE MAIN ISSUES, I KEPT BEING PUT OFF.

I WOULD GET A QUOTE. THEN I WOULD BE TOLD.

IT WILL TAKE TWO MONTHS FOR ME TO GET TO YOU.

IT WILL TAKE THREE MONTHS FOR ME TO GET TO YOU.

I TRIED TO KEEP HEATHER ABREAST, EVERY TIME I MAKE A MOVE.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, I WAS GIVEN A NOTICE TO APPEAR.

I DIDN'T GET THAT NOTICE. WHEN MY NEIGHBORS GAVE ME THE LETTER, I IMMEDIATELY CALLED -- I THINK I TALKED TO, I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS HEATHER OR PEGGY. I TALKED TO ONE OR THE OTHER IN THE OFFICE TO LET THEM KNOW, HEY, I JUST GOT THIS LETTER AND IT'S SAYING I'M BEING FINED EVERY DAY.

I NEVER GOT A NOTICE TO APPEAR IN -- BEFORE YOUR HONOR.

[00:15:07]

A BALANCE AND FINES. >> DOES THE CITY HAVE --

>> I DON'T THINK THERE'S A SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION UNLESS

THAT'S CHANGED. >> THERE'S NO SPECIFIC

RECOMMENDATION AT THIS TIME. >> IT WOULD BE UP TO THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE WHETHER YOU CHOOSE TO SUSPEND THE FINES FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, SINCE THEY ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING.

THAT WOULD BE IN YOUR DISCRETION AT THIS POINT IN TIME GIVEN THE

REQUEST FOR THE MASSEY HEARING. >> CONSIDERING SHE HAS THE PERMIT AND IT IS THE ONLY THING TO BE ADDRESSED IS THE ROOF.

; IS THAT CORRECT >> I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING.

I WAS ASKED TO DO THE PRESSURE CLEANING, THE DRIVEWAY.

I DID THAT. I WAS TOLD TO PAINT THE HOUSE.

BY THE WAY, WHEN I WAS TOLD TO PAINT THE HOUSE, IT WAS NOT -- I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO GET THE ROOF DONE FIRST AND THEN PAINT THE HOUSE. BUT I REALIZED, YOU FEED TO GET -- PAINT THE HOUSE AND DO WHAT YOU'RE ASKED TO DO.

IN MY MIND, THE PAINTING WOULD COME AFTER THE ROOFING.

SO, AGAIN, IT WAS NOT OUT OF DISRESPECT.

I WAS NOT THINKING THE SAME WAY. AS SOON AS I THOUGHT BACK, MAYBE, HEATHER, I'M NOT SURE. I REALIZE, PAINT THE HOUSE.

YOU KNOW, YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.

YOU SHOW THAT YOU'RE MAKING PROGRESS, EVEN THOUGH THE ROOF IS NOT DONE YET. SO I DID DO THOSE ITEMS.

>> YOU SAID YOU HAD YOUR PERMIT FOR YOUR ROOF?

>> I DO HAVE IT NOW. >> I WANTED TO CONFIRM.

>> WOULD YOU LIKE IT? >> SURE.

>> I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE ANY REASON TO DOUBT YOUR WORD, YOU

HAVE IT. >> ME NEITHER.

>> I DON'T MIND AT ALL. YOUR HONOR, I'VE GONE THIS WAY, ONE POINT. AT ONE POINT, I COULDN'T GET THE SHINGLES IN. IT WAS GOING TO BE FOREVER TO GET THE SHINGLES. IT'S NOT THAT I WAS JUST SITTING ON IT. I WAS MAKING PROGRESS.

I COULDN'T GET ANYTHING MOVING. I WAS 3RD IN LINE.

4TH IN LINE. >> DO YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATE WHEN

THE ROOF WILL BE FINISHED? >> I TALKED TO THE YOUNG MAN YESTERDAY. I WOULD BE ABLE TO SAY WHEN IT WILL BE DONE WHEN I'M ASKED. HE SAID, I WILL TRY TO MOVE YOU UP. APPARENTLY, THEY ARE WORKING ON DIFFERENT THINGS. HE SAID, I WILL LET YOU KNOW IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, WHEN I COULD GET TO YOU.

HE ASSURES, I'M A PRIORITY. >> IF I COULD CONFIRM WITH STAFF, IS THERE AN OBJECTION THE FINES BEING STOPPED WHILE THE

PERMIT IS ACTIVE ON THE ROOF >> NOT AN OBJECTION.

THAT'S FINE. >> I WOULD SUSPEND THE FINES.

>> MAY I ASK ANOTHER QUESTION. >> WE WOULD ASK IF THE PERMIT EXPIRES, BECAUSE THERE'S A PERIOD FOR THE PERMIT, ONCE IT EXPIRES, THE FINES WILL REINITIATE.

THAT GIVES THE DEADLINE TO HOLD THE CONTRACTOR'S FEET TO THE

FIRE, TOO >> OKAY. AND BECAUSE I'M ON THE RECORD, LET ME JUST SAY, IS IT OKAY, IF I KEEP YOU ALL POSTED WHERE I AM BECAUSE I'M FINDING AND WONDERING -- NO DISRESPECT TO THE MAN, BUT SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, I'M BEING TOLD ONE THING.

I'M THE ONE THAT'S NEGOTIATING THIS.

SO IF I'M FINDING I'M RUNNING INTO THE SITUATION, IT'S NOT BEING DONE, I'LL KEEP YOU ABREAST EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

>> STAFF WILL WORK WITH YOU. STAY IN CONTACT WITH STAFF AND

[00:20:01]

THEY WILL WORK WITH YOU ON THAT. >> IF YOU COULD KEEP COMMUNICATING WITH PEGGY, LETTING THEM KNOW WHERE YOU ARE,

YOU'RE FINE. >> THANK YOU FOR COMING IN.

>> THANK YOU >> SORRY TO CONFIRM, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THE FINE WILL REINITIATE IF THE PERMIT

EXPIRES. >> IF THE PERMIT EXPIRES, YES.

>> THANK YOU. >> WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE $8,000.

AM I STILL LIABLE FOR THE $8,000.

>> AT THIS POINT, YES THAT STILL EXISTS.

WE PAUSED THE FINE. IF YOU TALK WITH STAFF, THEY CAN EXPLAIN THE PROCESS AND WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT MOVING FORWARD AND WHAT YOUR OPTIONS ARE. YES, MA'AM.

WE MOVED IN WITH OUR PARENTS BECAUSE MY FATHER HAD A STROKE, OPEN HEART SURGERY AND MY MOTHER CAME DOWN WITH CANCER.

THEY REQUIRED SO MUCH CARE, WE ENDED UP LIVING AT THE HOUSE WITH THEM. WE PAID, AS FAR AS THE YARD NOT BEING MOWED, WHAT WE FOUND OUT LATER, IT WAS ACTUALLY OUR NEIGHBOR THAT MOWED THE YARDS. HE WAS MOWING MY PARENTS' YARD AND MY YARD, WHICH IS THE NEXT BLOCK ACROSS THE STREET FROM HIM. HE WAS NOT MOWING MY BROTHER'S YARD AND WE WERE PAYING HIM. YOU THINK YOU COULD TRUST YOUR NEIGHBOR. MY FATHER WAS DYING.

WE DID NOT HAVE, YOU KNOW, WE TRUSTED HIM TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROPERTY. THEN WE FOUND OUT LATER HE WAS ON DRUGS. YOU KNOW --.

>> I UNDERSTAND. >> THIS IS WHAT -- MEANTIME, WE DIDN'T RECEIVE THESE NOTICES. MY MOM HAS MY BROTHER'S ADDRESS CHANGED. I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DID IT.

SHE PASSED AWAY 4 1/2 YEARS AGO. SHE HAD, MAN STOPPED AT HIS HOUSE. IT WOULD COME TO OUR HOUSE.

WE NEVER RECEIVED THE NOTICES. BECAUSE I MEAN, MY FATHER WAS A VERY PROMINENT CONTRACTOR IN TOWN.

WE WOULD NOT EVER DO THIS INTENTIONALLY.

SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, I GUESS NONE OF US WILL EVER KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN THE TWO YEARS.

I KNOW -- >> WE WERE IN CONTACT, ON ALMOST A DAILY BASIS. MY FATHER WAS A GREAT FRIEND OF MINE. SPOKE TO HIM, HAD NO IDEA, WE

WERE PAYING. >> WE WERE PAYING HIM TO MOW THE YARD. MY DAD WAS SICK.

WE HAD -- HE HAD BEEN MOWING THE LAWN FOR QUITE A WHILE AND WE TRUSTED HIM, YOU KNOW. WE NEVER --

>> THERE WAS NEVER ANY REASON TO SUSPECT, KEEPING UP.

>> AND WE FOUND OUT LATER, HE WAS ON DRUGS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT HAS TO DO.

I DON'T KNOW. I NEVER DONE DRUGS SO LIKE YOU WOULD THINK, DONE DRUGS, WOULD FALL ASLEEP ON THE MOWER OR WOULD HAVE THE ENERGY TO DO EVEN MORE.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. THEN WE SWITCHED TO THE LANDSCAPER THAT LIVED NEXT DOOR TO MY BROTHER.

HE'S THE ONE THAT WE PAID TO CUT DOWN THE TREE.

HE AND HIS BROTHER CUT DOWN THE TREE.

THEY COULDN'T BRING IT ALL OUT. >> AND I UNDERSTAND THAT.

YOU'RE IN COMPLIANCE NOW. IF YOU LET THE CITY FINISH.

YOU'RE IN COMPLIANCE NOW AND IT'S A QUESTION, WHETHER WE CAN REDUCE THE AMOUNT INTO WHAT DEGREE.

OKAY. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, AN AGREEMENT WAS MADE BY MR. WELCH, TO GO AHEAD AND DO THE FAST

AND THE AGREEMENT, IF IT'S AGREED TO, TO DAY, IS FOR $3,000. THAT'S A REDUCTION OF THE $170,000. IS THAT AGREEABLE.

>> YES, MA'AM. >> THEN IT DOESN'T.

>> THANK YOU FOR TAKING UP YOUR TIME, CAUSING THIS PROBLEM.

>> THAT'S OKAY. THE $3,000 -- BECAUSE IT'S -- IT WILL NOT HAVE TO GO TO THE CITY COMMISSION FOR APPROVAL.

IF I APPROVE IT, AND YOU AGREE, THEN IT'S A DONE DEAL TODAY,

CORRECT? >> YES, MA'AM.

>> IF THAT'S AGREEABLE TO YOU, I THINK YOU HAVE -- HE STILL HAS

60 DAYS. >> HOW LONG DO YOU NEED TO PAY

THAT? >> WE WILL PAY IT TODAY.

>> WE WILL COMPLETE IT TODAY, THEN

>> AND THERE'S ANOTHER ONE F FOR -- DOES THIS TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING? OR IS THERE ONE -- I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS FOR, $1,000.

>> THIS WILL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.

>> IT WILL TAKE CARE OF BOEING? >> THIS IS THE CASE WE SPOKE ABOUT. IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE PENDING WITH ANOTHER DEPARTMENT, THAT WOULD BE SEPARATE.

>> WELL, OKAY. COULD I SHOW IT TO YOU.

>> WE CAN DISCUSS ANY OTHER CASES AFTER THE HEARING.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE FOR ME TO GIVE YOU A CALL, I COULD CALL AFTER

THE HEARING. >> THERE WAS ANOTHER AMOUNT FOR

$1164 FOR LOT CLEARING. >> AT THIS TIME, WE'RE ONLY DISCUSSING THE REDUCTION OF THE CODE ENFORCEMENT LIEN.

FOR A LOT CLEARING -- >> FOR THAT AMOUNT, YOU HAVE TO CONTACT THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT FOR THE LOT CLEARING LIENS.

>> WE WILL GIVE YOU THE PHONE NUMBERS, SO YOU COULD TALK TO

THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT? >> OKAY.

>> IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CASES, WE CAN EMPLOYED

COPIES OF THOSE, IF YOU WANT. >> IF SHE'S GOING TO FINANCE,

SHE CAN GET THE BALANCE, TODAY. >> OKAY. I MEAN, WE WILL PAY IT

TODAY AND GET IT OVERWITH. >> THEN, YES, THAT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF AT THE SAME TIME, WHEN YOU GO UPSTAIRS.

>> WHAT DO PEOPLE DO THAT CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY IT?

I DON'T KNOW. >> THANK YOU FOR COMING IN

TODAY. >> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, EVERYBODY, FOR YOUR HELP.

>> AND WHO DO WE PAY? >> OKAY.

>> SHE CAN TAKE YOU UPSTAIRS TO THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND THAT

WILL BE THE AMOUNT. >> AND THEN THIS AMOUNT, COULD WE PAY THIS TODAY, ALSO? BECAUSE I WANT TO CLOSE, THE PEOPLE BUYING THE HOUSE WANT TO CLOSE ON IT.

>> OKAY, JUST MAKE SURE THEY TALK TO KATHY WHEN YOU GO UPSTAIRS. SHE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

>> APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. >> NO PROBLEM.

>> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT.

I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND JUMP TO 4B.

RIGHT NOW, WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO, GET THE CAR FIXED, AND I NEED A CLUTCH AND BATTERY AND SOME TIRES.

RIGHT NOW, AT THE TIME, I CAN'T AFFORD IT ALL AT ONCE.

I'M TRYING TO GET IT ONE STEP AT A TIME.

I EMAILED YESTERDAY TO SEE WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO GET AN EXTENSION, IF I COULD GET AN EXTENSION ABOUT THE CAR, BECAUSE I AM GOING TO REGISTER THE CAR AND GET THE CAR IN WORKABLE ORDER BUT RIGHT NOW, DUE TO THE COVID, I CAN'T AFFORD TO DO IT ALL AT ONCE. I WAS WONDERING WHAT STEPS DO I HAVE TO TAKE OR TO GIVE US A LITTLE MORE TIME BEFORE I REMOVE THAT VEHICLE. BUT EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN LOOKING ON, LIKE THE BRICKS, PAINTING THE BOARDS AND STUFF.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S OTHER, YOU COULD HAVE IT TOWED.

I DON'T KNOW. YOU WOULD HAVE TO FIND SOME WAY TO BE IN COMPLIANCE IN 30 DAYS, OR THE FINE WILL BEGIN.

I HAVE TO COME HERE WITH MY SON. I'M IN ANOTHER STATE RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING. I'VE BEEN WORKING SO HARD, TRYING SO HARD TO AT LEAST GET IT TOWED TO WHERE I AM.

I AM IN A DIFFERENT STATE RIGHT NOW.

LIFE IS SO HARD, I'M NOT LOOKING FOR EXCUSES.

LIFE HAPPENS AND I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS.

MA'AM. I THINK THIS IS -- THIS CASE HAS BEEN PENDING FOR A LONG TIME. I THINK 30 DAYS IS THE BEST THAT

WE CAN DO HERE. >> OKAY. I'M GRATEFUL AND I REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO AT LEAST -- BECAUSE IF I -- WORST CASE SCENARIO, IT JUST HAS TO BE MOVED. EVEN IF I DID PUT IT IN STORAGE,
