I DO HAVE PICTURES OF THE

PROPERTY. HAVE YOU SEEN THESE? >> I HAVEN'T.

WINN, AND HE SAID, WE NEED A PERMIT.

SO JUST FROM LATE LAST WEEK WE'RE TRYING TO WORK ON IT. IT'S DIFFICULT WITH THAT TYPE OF ROOF. THERE'S ROOFERS ALL-AROUND, AND THEY DO SHINGLE, AND METAL.

>> NOT AT THIS TIME, THANK YOU. >> STATE YOUR NAME? >> I'M JOHANNA DAVIS.

>> HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THE FACT THAT THE CITY IS PROPOSING THIS AMOUNT?

>> I ABSOLUTELY ACCEPT THAT AND AGREE TO THAT. WE HAD A WHIRLWIND OF SITUATIONS WITH THE WINDOW COMPANY THAT WE HAD PREVIOUSLY CONTRACTED THE WORK TO.

WE FINALLY GOT A REFUND BACK, AND IN THE INTERIM WE WORKED WITH ANOTHER COMPANY THAT INSTALLED THE WINDOWS INSTEAD OF USING SAME PERMIT. SO MR. FLOREZ WERE WAS A GREAT DEAL OF HELP. I KEPT E-MAILING BACK, AND FORTH TRYING TO GET THE MATTER RESOLVED. IT TOOK A LOT OF WORK, BUT WE APPRECIATE THE COURT REDUCTION.

>> ALRIGHT. THEN BASED ON THE STIPULATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES I WILL REDUCE THIS FINE TO $723, AND 74 CENTS. HOW LONG DO YOU NEED TO PAY

THAT? >> I HAVE TO GET BACK TO THE OFFICE WITH SOMETHING THAT

STATES THAT AMOUNT AND I CAN CUT A CHECK IMMEDIATELY. >> I'LL SEND YOU THE ORDER.

>> HOLD ON. SO ONCE THE ORDERS ARE DONE I'LL GIVE YOU 30 DAYS TO PAY.

NOW IF YOU DON'T PAY IT IN THE 30 DAYS, IT RESORTS BACK TO THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT.

[00:50:04]

>> NO, MA'AM, BEFORE THE END OF THE WEEK I'LL HAVE A CHECK SENT. >> THANK YOU.

[B. 21-3055 2512 Wilkins Ave Salt, Abbie & John Shaun Coss]

>> YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU. >> NEXT CASE?

>> NEXT CASE IS 6B, 21-3055, 2512 WILKINS AVENUE. ABBIE AND JOHN SALT ARE THE

OWNERS. >> THIS IS CASE 21-3055 FOR 2512 WILKINS AVENUE.

OWNED BY ABBIE AND JOHN SALT. MIAMI, FLORIDA, 34616. THE INTERNATIONAL MAINTENANCE CODE 304.21 OPENING WINDOWS. THIS MATTER CAME BEFORE THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE AND AN ORDER OF VIOLATION WAS ENTERED ON JUNE 16TH, 2022 RECORDS VERIFIED NO PERMITS HAD BEEN OBTAINED AND A THTH AFFIDAVIT OF NON-COMPLIANCE WAS RECORDED AND THE FEES BEGAN. UPON VERIFICATION THE WINDOWS HAD BEEN REPAIRED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FINES ARE $1140 INCLUDING $40 IN RECORDING FEES.

THERE'S THREE CRITERIA TO CONSIDER IN THE REDUCTION OF THE FINES.

ONE THE GRAVITY OF THE VIOLATION IS MODERATE. TWO ANY ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE VIOLATOR TO FIX THE VIOLATIONS AND IT WAS COMPLIED ON JUNE 27TH OF 2022.

NUMBER THREE THE NUMBER OF THE VIOLATOR WAS PREVIOUSLY FOUND IN VIOLATION BY CODE ENFORCEMENT OR OTHER QUASI JUDICIAL OR JUDICIAL PROCESS WHERE OTHERWISE, ADMITTED GUILT WAS ONE TIME.

STAFF HAS CALCULATED THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS TO BE $1072, AND 80 CENTS.

THE RESPONDENT HAS REQUESTED A COMPLETE WAIVER OF FINES. STAFF DOES NOT AGREE WITH THAT REQUEST HOWEVER STAFF RECOMMENDS THE FINES BE REDUCED TO $722, AND 80 CENTS WHICH IS THE AMOUNT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE COST MINUS THE $350 FOR THE SEVEN MONTHS THE CASE WAS OPEN.

>> ANYTHING FURTHER? >> NOT AT THIS TIME, THANK YOU. >> ALRIGHT WOULD YOU STATE YOUR

NAME FOR THE RECORD? >> ROSEMARY SPEIGHTS. >> AND YOU ARE RELATED TO THE

PROPERTY HOW? >> PROPERTY MANAGER. >> OKAY.

YOU'VE HEARD THE CITY, MR. COSS RECOMMEND THE FINE BE REDUCED? >> YES I DON'T LIKE HIM ANYMORE.

YES. >> ARE YOU IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT?

>> NOT REALLY. NO. THE JOB WAS DONE IN A TIMELY FASHION, AND WAS COMPLETED. THERE WAS A BIT OF A COMMUNICATION GLITCH AND IT SOUNDS A LITTLE LIKE THE DOG ATE MY HOMEWORK, BUT I GOT A NEW HP COMPUTER AND HAD NO NOTIFICATION SO THAT WAS THE FIRST PROBLEM. I SENT A MAINTENANCE MAN TO THE COURTS STATING THAT IN FACT, IT WAS DONE IN A TIMELY FASHION. AND WE DON'T COME HERE TO VISIT VERY OFTEN SO I WOULD LIKE IT TO

BE REDUCED FURTHER. THAT'S ALL. >> OKAY.

>> WHERE DO YOU LIVE? >> I LIVE ON AVENUE D. 29TH, AND AVENUE D.

>> OKAY. >> SO WE'RE PRETTY CONSCIENCES. I LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE KEEP UP WITH THINGS AS BEST AS POSSIBLE, AND UNFORTUNATELY, IT HAPPENS THAT IF TENANTS DON'T PAY RENTS THEY DON'T LET US KNOW WHEN THINGS ARE HAPPENING. WE'RE TRYING TO DO MORE INSPECTIONS, AND SO THAT IF IN THE EVENT THEY DON'T NOTIFY US ABOUT SOMETHING WE'RE UP ON IT.

22ND OF 2021. THE AFFIDAVIT OF COMPLIANCE WAS JULY 11TH OF 2022.

[00:55:08]

>> I WASN'T AWARE OF THE NOVEMBER 2ND DATE AT ALL. I HAVE TO TALK TO THE OWNER, BUT

I WAS NOT AWARE OF IT. >> WELL, ALRIGHT. ANYTHING FURTHER?

>> NO, MA'AM. THANK YOU. BUT I HOPE YOU ARE IN A GOOD

MOOD AFTER THAT. >> ME? I HAVE A BIRTHDAY TODAY.

I'M IN A VERY GOOD MOOD, THANK YOU. >> I WANT TO GO ON RECORD

REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME WE DO LIKE OUR INSPECTOR. >> I LIKE THE INSPECTORS TOO.

>> BASED ON THE TESTIMONY AND THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED I WILL REDUCE THE FINE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS THAT THE CITY HAS RECOMMENDED AT $722, AND 80 CENTS.

HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED TO PAY THAT? >> 24 HOURS.

>> OKAY. I'LL GIVE YOU 30 DAYS TO PAY IF YOU DON'T PAY IT WITHIN THAT PERIOD OF TIME IT WILL REVERT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL FINE THAT WAS REQUESTED AT THE BEGINNING

OF THE HEARING. >> WHERE DO WE SEND THAT CHECK TO?

>> GET WITH ELIZABETH, AND SAMANTHA, AND THEY'LL TELL YOU. >> GET AN ORDER, AND YOU CAN PAY

WITH THAT. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

[A. 18-2935 325 S 13th Street Dantilus, Jean M. Shaun Coss]

>> GOOD LUCK. NEXT CASE? >> THE NEXT CASE IS A LEAN LIEN HEARING. 18-2935, 325 SOUTH 13TH STREET, JEAN DANTILUS IS THE OWNER.

HE WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN WE SWORE I IN.

>> WE NEED TO SWEAR HIM IN. >> RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND, AND BE SWORN.

>> DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THE TESTIMONY YOU PROVIDE TO DO WILL BE THE TRUTH?

>> YES, MA'AM. >> THANK YOU. >> MR. COSS WHEN YOU ARE READY?

>> YES, MA'AM THIS IS A REQUEST TO IMPOSE A LIEN FOR THIS PROPERTY 18-2935.

325 SOUTH 13TH STREET, THE PROPERTY IS OWNED BY JEAN DANTILUS OF THE SAME ADDRESS.

AS OF TODAY THE VIOLATIONS REMAIN IN VIOLATION, AND THERE WERE INSPECTIONS PERFORMED YESTERDAY IN REGARD TO THE PERMITS FOR THE PROPERTY. SEVERAL OF THE INSPECTIONS WERE DISAPPROVED SO THE CASE IS STILL IN VIOLATION, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS IMPOSING A LIEN AT

THIS TIME. >> SIR HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THOSE ALLEGATIONS?

>> GOOD MORNING. FIRST I THINK THAT THERE WAS SOME DISCREPANCY IN THIS MATTER BECAUSE AT THE TIME IT WAS TRYING TO IMPOSE LIEN INTO THAT CASE.

A LOT OF THOSE TIMES, I DID ALL THE THING I COULD DO. THERE WAS SOME ADMINISTRATIVE DELAY INTO THE CASE WHERE IT'S NOT UP TO ME TO MAKE A DECISION. ESPECIALLY IN THAT CASE THERE WERE TWO DIFFERENT PERMITS INVOLVED WHERE THEY WANTED THOSE CASES TO MERGED, AND THERE WAS ONE ARCHITECT ON EACH DIFFERENT PART OF THE BUILDING, AND THIS TAKES AN A LONGER TIME UNTIL THE STAFF, ESPECIALLY MR. SHAUN DECIDE TO MAKE THAT GO AHEAD, AND ACCEPT WITH EACH DIFFERENT ARCHITECT TO GO AHEAD SO WE CAN HAVE THE PERMIT ON THAT. IT'S NOT LIKE THERE WAS ANY NEGLIGENCE ON MY PART. BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS MORE LIKELY ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY THAT REALLY HAD TO DECIDE, AND TOOK THE A LONGER TIME. I'M ALWAYS ON TOP OF THAT TRYING TO SOLVE THAT ISSUE, AND TO PULL THE PERMIT WHEN IT'S NOT AN ARCHITECT.

[01:00:09]

AFTER THAT, WE CHECK, AND THINK EVERYTHING WAS ALL OKAY, BUT IT'S NOT UNTIL WE RECEIVE THAT LETTER, YOU KNOW, SAYING EVERYTHING WAS NOT OKAY, AND WE, AGAIN, AT THE BEGINNING OF WHEN WE RECEIVED THAT NOTE IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF JUNE THIS YEAR, AND THEN WE GO AHEAD, AND WE PAY FOR ALL THE PERMIT, AND EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE TO HAVE THE INSPECTION IN THIS CASE, BUT AS I SAID, WE ARE IN A GOOD SITUATION RIGHT NOW. HOPEFULLY LIKE THIS WEEK OR NEXT WEEK I THINK EVERYTHING, ALL THE PERMITS SHOULD BE CLOSED BECAUSE LITERALLY THE CONVERSATION I HAD YESTERDAY WITH TWO INSPECTORS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE THERE TO CLEAR UP IN ONE OR TWO DAYS AND ALL THE PERMITS SHOULD BE CLOSED. AGAIN THANK YOU FOR THE

OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK OUT, AND THAT'S HOW I RESPOND. >> SIR, THIS CASE WAS INITIATED

ON DECEMBER 11TH OF 2018. >> I UNDERSTAND YOUR HONOR. >> YOU WERE GIVEN SEVERAL

OPPORTUNITIES TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE. >> THAT'S CORRECT.

>> THE FINES WERE STAYED ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS. ON AUGUST 25TH OF 2020, THEY WERE STOPPED. YOU ARE LOOKING AT YOUR SCREEN, RIGHT?

>> YES. >> OKAY. ON THE ACTION DATES, YOU WERE GIVEN, YOU HAD A SPECIAL MAGISTRATE HEARING AND IT GAVE YOU TIME TO REMOVE THE PERMITS.

YOU DID AN EXTENSION OF TIME. YOU WANTED 60 DAYS. THEN YOU WANTED 90 DAYS.

THE FINES BEGAN TO GROW AGAIN ON JUNE 20 AND IT GOES ON, AND ON, AND ON.

>> I BELIEVE ON THE NOTES THAT'S NOT PART OF THE ACTION DATE BECAUSE I BELIEVE THOSE ACTION

DATES ARE CORRECT, BUT - >> SIR? SIR? I HATE TO CUT YOU OFF, BUT THE CITY KEEPS A RECORD OF ALL THE COMMUNICATIONS WITH THIS PROPERTY, AND NOTHING, I MEAN THE FINES WERE STAYED. THEY HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOREVER.

AND YOU'VE DONE NOTHING. >> YES, I ALWAYS DO THINGS AS BEFORE THIS MEETING.

I MET WITH MR. SHAUN ON THE 18TH OF GROUP, AND WE GO OVER THOSE DATES, AND YES, WE COME TO AN AGREEMENT THAT THERE WAS ALWAYS COMMUNICATION WITH HIM BECAUSE THE THING IS THAT MOST OF THOSE I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE ARCHITECT, AND THE ARCHITECT NEVER MEETS THE DEADLINE.

IT'S NOT WORK TO BE DONE ON THE PROPERTY, BUT HOW TO GET THE PROPER THINGS TO PULL THE

PERMIT. >> I'M SORRY. THIS CASE HAS BEEN STAYED I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES, AND YOU'VE DONE NOTHING. HOLD ON, PLEASES.

[01:05:04]

THE PROPERTY IN COMPLIANCE NOW? >> ALMOST, YOUR HONOR. >> ANYTHING FURTHER?

>> NO, MA'AM. >> THEN BASED ON THE EVIDENCE, AND TESTIMONY THAT I HAVE AND ALSO, LOOKING AT THE INFORMATION CONTAINED ON MY HEARING NOTICE, I'M NOT, I'M GOING TO IMPOSE A

LIEN ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE. >> YOU'RE HONOR, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HONOR, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HONOR,R HONOR, I DON UNDERSTAND I BELIEVE EVEN THE INSPECTOR, MR. SHAUN, CAN TESTIFY THAT THE SITUATION THAT HAPPENED WITH THIS IS NOT ANYTHING THAT I COULD DO BECAUSE THERE WAS, AS I STATED BEFORE, THERE WAS TWO DIFFERENT

ARCHITECTS. >> SIR? SIR?

>> IT TAKE A LONG TIME. >> SIR? I HATE TO INTERRUPT FOLKS, OKAY? BUT I'M LOOKING AT THE INFORMATION SHEET HERE AND I'M SURE A COPY OF THIS WAS GIVEN TO YOU OR MAILED TO YOU. I'M GOING TO IMPOSE A LIEN. THIS BEGAN IN 2018.

DECEMBER 11TH, 2018, AND THIS IS AUGUST 16TH, 2022. >> YES YOUR HONOR, BUT THE

CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ARE OUT OF MY CONTROL. >> THEN SOMETIMES.

>> THE ARCHITECT WANTS SIX OR MORE MONTHS IN ORDER TO DO THE WORK, AND THE PERMIT CANNOT BE

SUBMITTED WITHOUT THAT DOCUMENT. >> I'M AWARE OF THAT. >> AND ALSO WHEN ARCHITECT FINISH WITH THEIR WORK BECAUSE THERE WAS OTHER ARCHITECT INVOLVED, THEY WANTED TO MIX

THOSE TOGETHER. >> YOU'VE BEEN HERE A NUMBER OF TIMES.

EXCUSE ME. I'VE GRANTED THE REQUEST MADE BY YOU OR THE CITY AND THE FINES WERE STAYED, FINES WERE STAYED, FINES WERE STAYED, AND YOU'VE DONE NOTHING.

[B. 19-2736 703 N 24th Street Danitilus, Jean Shaun Coss]

NEXT CASE, MADAM CLERK. LIEN IS IMPOSED. >> NEXT CASE IS 5B.

19-2736, 703 NORTH 24TH STREET, JEAN DANTILUS IS ALSO THE OWNER. >> THIS IS CASE 19-2736 FOR 703 NORTH 24TH STREET. THE PROPERTY IS OWNED BY JEAN DANTILUS.

IN THIS CASE THE PERMITS WERE RENEWED ON JULY 18TH, 2022. THE CONTRACTOR HAS REQUESTED INSPECTIONS FOR THURSDAY, SO STAFF HAS NOD HAD A CHANCE TO PERFORM THE INSPECTION TO 'VERIFY' IF THE PROPERTY IS IN COMPLIANCE OR NOT. I'M NOT SURE WHY THEY WERE SCHEDULED FOR THURSDAY AFTER THE DATE OF THE HEARING WHEN MR. JEAN DANTILUS WAS AWARE OF THE DATE OF THIS HEARING SINCE JULY. WE DID, I MET WITH MR. JEAN DANTILUS JULY 18TH, AND WE DISCUSSED THIS CASE, AND WHAT WOULD BE TO COMPLY. STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO

IMPOSE A LIEN. >> HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THAT? >> IN THIS CASE, YOUR HONOR, WAS JUST, WE DID THE INSPECTION AND THE INSPECTOR IN THIS CASE STATED THAT TO DO A LITTLE MINOR CORRECTIONS, AND WE DID THAT THE SAME DAY, AND WE BELIEVED EVERYTHING WAS DONE.

EVERY SINCE LAST YEAR IN ORDER TO, WE HAD TO PASS OUT THE INSPECTION TO PUT ELECTRICITY ON THAT PROPERTY SO ONCE WE WILL FINDING ALL THE PERMIT WAS NOT CLOSED SO WE GO AHEAD, AND PULL THE PERMIT, BUT BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF WORK, I WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME.

I JUST CAME BACK AND I COULDN'T PUT THE INSPECTION FOR YESTERDAY BECAUSE I HAD MULTIPLE

[01:10:01]

THE LAST INSPECTION TO CLOSE THE CASE, AGAIN I THOUGHT EVERYTHING ON THAT CASE WAS ALREADY CLOSED.

>> SIR, YOU GET NOTICES IN THE MAIL REGARDING THESE MATTERS. SAME SITUATION AS BEFORE.

THE CASE WAS INITIATED OCTOBER 17TH OF 2019. THAT'S ALMOST THREE YEARS.

AND A COUPLE OF MONTHS IT WILL BE THREE YEARS AND THE PERMIT WAS RENEWED, AND STILL CONTINUES WITHOUT ANY APPROVED INSPECTIONS, AND IS THEREFORE, NON-COMPLIANT.

THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT DO WITH YOU. DON'T INTERRUPT ME.

I LET YOU TALK. OKAY? YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING WITH EITHER OF THESE PROPERTIES. AND I'VE GIVEN YOU BREAK AFTER BREAK AFTER BREAK TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE, AND TALK WITH CITY HALL, AND GET THINGS DONE. I MEAN, IN THIS ACTION HERE, IT'S MARCH 13, 2020. A PERMIT WAS APPLIED. DUE TO SSOME STAFF APPLICATIONS THE THING WAS LOST, AND THEN THEY GAVE YOU AN EXTENSION OF 90 DAYS.

THEY SAID WE MADE A MISTAKE SO WE'LL GIVE YOU 90 DAYS, AND YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING.

NOTHING, BUT MAKE EXCUSES. I'M SORRY. THIS PERMIT EXPIRED APRIL 17TH OF 2021 WITH NO APPROVED INSPECTIONS. YES?

>> THERE WAS AN APPROVED INSPECTION, MA'AM. THAT CASE STARTED, AND THERE WAS

A CONNECTION OF THE - >> ARE YOU LOOKING AT YOUR SCREEN? WE HAVE ACTIVITIES THAT OCCURRED REGARDING PROPERTY IF YOU GO DOWN TO ACTION DATES, AND YOU LOOK AT NUMBER SIX, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE HEARING. THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE TOPPED THE FINES TO ALLOW YOU TO RESUBMIT THE PERMIT APPLICATION, AND YOU RESUBMITTED ON SEPTEMBER 21 OF 2020, AND THEY APPROVED IT, AND NOTIFIED YOU ON SEPTEMBER 22ND THAT THE PERMIT WAS READY FOR PICK UP. THAT WAS 2020. THE PERMIT EXPIRED ON APRIL

17TH, 2021 WITH NO IMPROVED INSPECTIONS. >> THE INSPECTOR WAS TELLING US THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. THAT'S WHAT I SAID. I BELIEVE IT WAS THE INSPECTOR.

WE HAVE MR. SMITH TO DO THE INSPECTION AND THE ELECTRICITY FOR THE ELECTRIC TO BE ON, AND THAT IS WHAT WE'RE WAITING TO HAVE WATER TO THE PROPERTY, AND ANOTHER TO HAVE THE PLUMBING INSPECTION. WE CALLED THE PLUMBING INSPECTOR AD THE ONLY THING WAS TO HAVE

AN EXTENDED PIPE, AND WE DID THAT. >> SIR, I HATE TO INTERRUPT YOU BUT IF YOU READ WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU, AND YOU GO DOWN TO NUMBER NINE, JULY 18TH, 2022, THE PERMIT WAS RENEWED, AND STILL CONTINUES WITHOUT ANY APPROVED INSPECTIONS, AND IS

THEREFORE, NON-COMPLIANT. >> I DID ALREADY HAVE A SCHEDULE TO GO OUT FOR ABOUT 15 DAYS, THAT'S WHY BEFORE I GO OUT, WHEN I RECEIVE THAT LETTER JUNE, I GO, AND DO WHATEVER I HAVE TO DO TO COMPLY WITH THAT, BUT I TOLD HIM I WILL BE OUT, AND I'M COMING BACK, AND I'LL MAKE SURE TO SEE IF I CAN CALL FOR THE INSPECTION, BUT I DIDN'T COME ON TIME BECAUSE I COULDN'T MAKE THE TWO INSPECTIONS. I COME BACK ON SUNDAY, AND YOU KNOW WHEN THEY CALLED THE INSPECTION ON MONDAY, THEY ALREADY HAVE THE INSPECTION ON THIS PROPERTY SO I PUT THE

[01:15:06]

DO. >> YOU HAVEN'T DONE WHAT THE INSPECTOR OR ANYBODY TOLD YOU TO DO. YOU HAVEN'T BEEN GRATEFUL FOR THE MANY CONTINUANCES I GAVE YOU. PLEASE DON'T INTERRUPT ME. YOU HAVE DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. NOTHING. YOU'VE HAD MORE RENEWALS THAN ANY CASE I'VE EVER DEALT WITH. PLEASE DON'T. YOU ARE NOT MAKING THIS BETTER

YOURSELF. >> YOUR HONOR? >> PLEASE, LET ME FINISH.

NOW YOU'VE DONE NOTHING AND IT'S MUCH LEEWAY AS THE CITY HAS GIVEN YOU, YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING. YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK ANY OF US TAKE IT LIGHTLY IN HERE WHAT WE HAVE TO DO REGARDING PEOPLE'S PROPERTY BUT WHEN SOMEBODY COMES IN HERE OFTEN ENOUGH WHERE I CAN RECOGNIZE THEM WHEN THEY WALK IN THE DOOR, WE HAVE GOT A PROBLEM. NOW I KNOW THERE'S SOME HICCUPS WITH BUILDING ANYTHING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF COVID-19, AND AGAIN, THE PROBLEM WITH THE CON CONTAINMENTS FOR SHIPPING, AND WE DO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.

I DO, BUT MOST PEOPLE LIKE THE FACT THAT WE TRY TO HELP, AND WHEN I SAY WE, I WORK FOR THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE, BUT I TAKE NO PLEASURE IN TELLING PEOPLE WHAT DO WITH THEIR PROPERTY BUT WHEN SOMEBODY HAS BEEN GIVEN AS MANY CHANCES AS YOU HAVE, AND THEN THEY'VE DONE NOTHING, I DON'T TAKE THAT LIGHTLY. NOW IF YOU WANT TO RESPOND, YOU CAN.

>> YES. YOUR HONOR, AGAIN, I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME IN THIS CASE AND ALSO, ALL THE INSPECTOR HAS.

YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL INSPECTOR, AND I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE THINGS.

IT MAY APPEAR I DO NOTHING, BUT I DID. THE HARDEST THING WAS TO PULL

THE PERMIT. >> WILL YOU TURN THAT OFF? I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT RING AGAIN. CAN YOU TURN YOUR PHONE OFF? THANK YOU.

>> WHAT DO YOU SAY AGAIN? >> TURN YOUR PHONE OFF IS YOU CAN HEAR WHAT I'M SAYING.

>> OKAY. >> YOUR EXCUSE IS YOU DON'T HAVE ANYMORE EXCUSE.

>> I DID PULL THE PERMIT. >> THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU GET THE WORK DONE?

>> THE INSPECTION IS, PROBABLY THE INSPECTOR SAY THIS IS THE LAST THING TO CORRECT, AND HE SAY EVERYTHING WAS OKAY.

BASED ON THE EVIDENCE AND THE TESTIMONY PRESENTED I'M GOING TO RESTART THE FINES, AND IMPOSE A

LIEN ON THE PROPERTY. THAT'S IT. >> YOUR HONOR?

>> YOU HAVE 30 DAYS TO APPEAL. >> YOU HAVE GIVEN ME OPPORTUNITIES.

>> NEXT CASE MADAM CLERK? >> OKAY. >> THE NEXT CASE IS 5A.

I'M SORRY WE HAVE ANOTHER PERSON PRESENT. >> WHO'S THAT?

[K. 21-3534 1608 S 31st Street Haisley, Richard & Jimmie Logan Winn]

[01:20:02]

YES. >> THE RESPONDENT HAVE THREE CASES ON THE AGENDA.

ALL FOUR PRESENTATION FOR HIM POSING A LIEN. ALL OF THE CASES HAVE THE SAME STATUS WITH THE PAVING PERMIT HAVING BEEN ISSUED HOWEVER THE PAVING INSPECTION HAS BEEN DISAPPROVED. I'M SORRY, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE. THE PERMIT STATUS IS DIFFERENT FOR ONE OF THE CASES SO I'LL GO THROUGH THEM INDIVIDUALLY THAT WAY THE RESPONDENT CAN RESPOND.

IF WE MAY CALLI, 2121-3532, 302 OKEECHBEE ROAD, RICHARD AND JIMMIE HAISLEY ARE THE OWNERS.

>> IN THIS CASE PERMIT 22-268 WAS ISSUED JULY 20TH OF 2022. THE PAVING FINAL INSPECTION WAS DISAPPROVED ON JULY 5TH, 2022. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A REINSPECTION.

STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION WAS TO IMPOSE A LIEN SINCE THIS CASE CONTINUES TO BE NON-COMPLIANT.

THE RECOMMENDATION WAS TO IMPOSE A LIEN SINCE THE CASE CONTINUES TO BE NON-COMPLIANT.

>> ANYTHING FURTHER? >> NOT AT THIS TIME. >> DO YOU WANT TO DO THEM ALL

SEPARATELY? >> IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE RESPONDENT INDIVIDUALLY

OR COLLABORATIVELY? >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE THE RESPONDENT HAS NOT BEEN SWORN IN. COULD YOU RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND, AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD? DO YOU SWEAR THE TESTIMONY YOU WILL PROVIDE WILL BE THE TRUTH?

>> WHAT'S YOUR LAST NAME? >> KISEKISI. >> AND YOU REPRESENTING RICHARD

AND JIMMIE HAISLEY. >> I'M THE PROPERTY MANAGER FOR THE FUNERAL HOME AT THE PROPERTY

IN QUESTION. >> HOW DO YOU RESPOND. >> I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE PERMIT THAT WAS PULLED LAST MONTH WAS DISALLOWED. WE CONTRACTED CONTRACTOR TO PERFORM PAVING, AND STRIPING IN DECEMBER, AND WE WERE INFORMED EVERYTHING WAS GOOD UNTIL MR. LOGAN TOLD ME THAT HE HAD STOPPED OUR CONTRACTOR THE DAY OF AND SAID WHERE'S YOUR PERMIT.

WE DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS NOT ONE PULLED BEFOREHAND, AND WE'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE CONTRACTOR TRYING TO GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED. I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHY IT'S NOT RESOLVED YET. I KNOW THREE OF THE FOUR WERE NEEDED LAST MONTH, BUT WAS NOT AWARE THEY WERE DISALLOWED. THIS IS A PERMIT THAT WAS PULLED AND I WASN'T SURE WHY IT WAS

DISALLOWED. >> SO WHO FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION IS CHECKING WITH THE CITY TO

MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS IN COMBINING? >> THERE'S TWO OR THREE OF US FOLLOWING UP ON THIS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. WE DON'T HAVE A MAINTENANCE PERSON, AND MR. HAISLEY IS IN THE OFFICE THREE QUARTERS OF THE TIME SO IT'S BETWEEN ME, AND HIM, AND THE OPERATION MANAGER THAT'S RUNNING ALL THE BUSINESSES TO TRY AND MAKE SURE THIS IS TAKEN CARE OF. I DID NOT GET NOTICE THE PERMIT WAS DISALLOWED LAST MONTH.

>> WHAT YOU SHOULD DO OR SOMEBODY SHOULD DO IS BE A LIAISON OR CONTACT PERSON WITH THE CITY SO YOU KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THE CONTRACTOR IS PERFORMING WHAT HE OR SHE SHOULD BE DOING.

>> YES, MA'AM. >> I WILL ADMIT THIS IS MY FIRST TIME DEALING WITH ANYTHING LIKE

THIS. THIS IS NOT IN MY WHEELHOUSE. >> ARE YOU AWARE OF THE FINES

THAT HAVE ACCRUED ON THESE PROPERTIES? >> NO, MA'AM.

I KNOW FROM WHAT I READ IT LOOKED LIKE THERE WOULD BE FINES AFTER TODAY, BUT I WAS NOT SURE

IF THEY WERE ALREADY ACCRUING. >> AS OF AUGUST 10TH, 2022 THE FINES TOTAL $4120 BECAUSE A $20 RECORDING FEE ON THE THREE PROPERTIES SO NOW YOU'RE LOOKING AT $12 THOUSAND PLUS, DOLLARS.

[01:25:08]

>> YES, MA'AM. >> HAS ANY ATTEMPTS BEEN MADE TO PULL THESE PROPERTIES?

>> THERE ARE FOUR INDIVIDUAL PARKING LOTS ON FOUR PARCELS. THREE OF THE PERMITS HAVE BEEN ISSUED, AND THOSE THREE HAVE BEEN DISAPPROVED AT THE INSPECTION PHASE FOR NOT PROVIDING ADEQUATE ACCESSIBLE PARKING. THE ONE REMAINING PROPERTY 1611

SOUTH 30TH STREET HAS NOT HAD AN ISSUE PERMITTED YET. >> I FOUND OUT WHY THAT HAPPENED. APPARENTLY OUR CONTRACTOR THAT WAS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DID NOT LOOK AT THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S WEBSITE TO SEE THAT WE HAD FOUR A PARCELS INSTEAD OF THREE.

THERE IS MAYBE A 5-FOOT STRIP OF PARKING LOT ON THE PARCEL AND THE REST IS ON A DIFFERENT PARCEL AND APPARENTLY HE DID NOT SEE THAT UNTIL I POINTED IT OUT TO HIM WHEN HE BROUGHT ME THE OTHER THREE PERMITS AND I DID TALK TO THE SUBCONTRACTOR. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STAY IN CONTACT WITH HER. HER NAME IS STEFANY, AND SHE'S SCHEDULED TO COME BY THURSDAY TO DO STRIPING. SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE TWO WEEKS, AND THEY RESCHEDULED FOR

THURSDAY TO COME OUT, AND DO THE HANDICAP PARKING STRIPING. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE IF I UNDERSTAND MR. COSS CORRECTLY THERE'S NO PROPERTY ON THIS PROPERTY?

>> THERE IS. YES. >> SO THE STRIPING THAT YOU'RE

TALKING ABOUT IS ON THIS PROPERTY? >> ALL OF THE PROPERTIES.

SHE'S COMING TO DO HANDICAP STRIPING ON ALL OF THE PROPERTIES.

>> MR. COSS CAN SHE DO THAT ON THOSE PROPERTIES THAT DO NOT HAVE ACTIVE PERMIT?

>> STRIPING SHOULD NOT BE DONE ON A PROPERTY THAT DOES NOT HAVE A PERMIT.

I NEED TO REVIEW. THE ONE PROPERTY THAT DOESN'T HAVE A PERMIT IS 1611 SOUTH 30TH AND I NEED TOO 'VERIFY' THERE ARE PARKING SPACES ON THAT LOT INDIVIDUALLY TO MAKE THAT

DETERMINATION. >> OKAY. THAT WAS MY ASSUMPTION BASED ON WHAT I WAS ABLE TO SEE ON THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S WEBSITE BECAUSE IT'S LITERALLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING DOOR IS WHERE THE LEADERSHIP IS, AND THAT'S WHY I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT WE HAD TO PAVE IT. OTHERWISE, THE PHYSICAL HOUSE WITH THE ADDRESS 1611, 30TH STREET IS AROUND THE CORNER BEHIND THE FUNERAL HOME

BUILDING. >> ALRIGHT. HERE'S WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.

I'M GOING TO CONTINUE THIS UNTIL MY NEXT HEARING. YOU ARE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM YOUR OFFICE NEED TO BE A DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE THAT WILL FOLLOW UP ON YOUR GUY WHO IS NOT DOING WHAT HE OR SHE SHOULD BE DOING IN THE MEANTIME THESE FINES ARE ACCRUING, AND RIGHT NOW YOU'RE UP TO ABOUT $12,000, AND MAYBE EVEN MORE THAN THAT.

I THINK YOU'RE TRYING. SO I'LL JUST CONTINUE THIS. TRY AND GET YOURSELF TOGETHER.

GET WITH THE CITY. THEY WILL WORK WITH YOU. >> L WORK WITH YOU AND

I WILL BE A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE FOR YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> GOOD LUCK. >> MR. COSS OR THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT CAN ANSWER WHAT WORK YOU CAN, AND CAN'T DO ON WHICH PROPERTIES. SO YOU SHOULD TALK TO THEM FOR

CLARIFICATION. >> GOOD LUCK. MADAM CLERK?

>> OKAY. ARE WE CONTINUING ALL THREE? >> YES, ALL THREE.

>> I'LL READ THEM IN. 2 21-3532, 21-2333, AND 21-2534.

I HAVE PICTURES AND I DO KNOW THAT THERE IS AN ACTIVE STUCCO PERMIT AT THIS RESIDENTS, AND THAT'S THE ONLY PERMIT THERE. I KNOW THAT THE OWNER WAS HAVING PROBLEM'S WITH A CONTRACTOR, AND GOT A NEW ONE AND ALL THE OTHER PERMITS ARE IN PLAN REVIEW AT THIS TIME.

>> OKAY. >> WHAT OTHER WORK IS BEING DONE THAT NEEDS A PERMIT?

MECHANICAL. >> MECHANICAL, PLUMBING, AND SOME STRUCTURAL STUFF.

>> EACH ONE THEY'VE APPLIED FOR PERMIT? >> I BELIEVE SO.

THAT'S IT. >> THE INITIAL PERMIT, DID IT INCLUDE THE ENTIRE SCOPE OF WORK. BUT THE OWNER SAID SHE'S HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE CONTRACTOR, AND STARTED THE PROCESS NEW WITH A NEW CONTRACTOR IN MAY, AND THEN TRIED TO A MY FOR A PERMIT, BUT THEY WERE MS.ING A LOT OF PAPERWORK, AND WE REJECTED IT AT INTAKE SO THE ONLY ACTUAL PERMIT ISSUED FOR ALL OF THE WORK THAT HAPPENED THERE IS THE STUCCO PERMIT.

>> OKAY. DO THE PHOTOGRAPHS YOU HAVE FAIRLY, AND ACCURATELY DEPICT

THE VIOLATION? >> YES. >> AT THIS TIME THE CITY WILL

MOVE INTO EVIDENCE AS COMPOSITE EXHIBIT ONE THE PHOTOGRAPHS. >> THANK YOU.

THEY WILL BE ADMITTED AS SUCH. ANYTHING ELSE? >> NO, MA'AM.

>> NOW CAN THEY USE THE PERMIT THAT'S ALREADY BEEN PULLED TO DO ANY OF THE WORK THAT STILL NEEDS

TO BE DONE? >> NOT INSIDE. JUST THE OUTSIDE.

>> THE STUCCO PERMIT. OKAY. BUT THEY DID APPLY FOR OTHER

PERMITS, AND THEY WERE REJECTED? >> THE INITIAL PERMIT WAS APPLIED FOR AND IT HAD THE ENTIRE SCOPE OF WORK AND THE REJECTION WAS SENT TO THEM IN APRIL WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THAT CONTRACTOR, AND THEY STARTED THE NEW PROCESS IN MAY, BUT WE DID NOT ACCEPT THE APPLICATION BECAUSE HE WAS MISSING TOO MUCH, HE WAS MISSING FORMS AND PRODUCT APPROVAL AND IT WAS NOT COMPLETE

ENOUGH FOR US TO TAKE IT IN. >> OKAY. AND DID YOU DISCUSS THAT WITH

THE CONTRACTOR OR THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY? >> THE CONTRACTOR WAS MADE AWARE OF THAT WHEN HE MADE THE APPLICATION. SO THEN HE APPLIED FOR THE

STUCCO PERMIT, AND THAT WAS ISSUED. >> OKAY.

THIS REGISTERED AGENT, L.A. SHAN DO ROBERTS. HAS SHE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH YOU?

>> SHE CALLED ME, AND EXPLAINED SHE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FIRST CONTRACTOR, AND STARTING WITH PROCESS WITH A NEW CONTRACTOR AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HER SINCE.

>> OKAY. >> WOULD THE CITY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME CONTINUING THIS UNTIL THE NEXT DOCKET? IT LOOKS LIKE THIS L.A. SHANDA ROBERTS IS TRYING, AND I'VE HEARD STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE HIRING CONTRACTORS AND IT'S NOT DONE PROPERLY SO I'D LIKE TO RESCHEDULE HER FOR THE NEXT DOCKET, AND SEE IF WE CAN MAYBE GET IN TOUCH WITH HER, AND MAKE SURE SHE UNDERSTANDS WHAT SHE NEEDS TO DO BECAUSE THEY SHOULD HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE HERE IF THEY HAVE TO COME BACK. IF THEY DO EVERYTHING THEY ARE SUP

SUPPOSED TO SHE WON'T HAVE TO. THERE'S NOBODY HERE TODAY. >> STAFF'S AGREEABLE TO THAT.
