WE WERE BROUGHT ON TO HELP THE OWNER WITH SOME OF THE CHALLENGES AND THE DEMOLITION REQUIREMENTS.
AT THE LOCATION. THERE'S BEEN AN EXTENSIVE CLEANUP BASED ON THE PREVIOUS OWNER AT THE LOCATION FOR ALL OF THE RECYCLING ITEMS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE.
AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE CONTINUING.
A COUPLE OF ITEMS ON HERE TO SPEAK TO, ONE BEING THE LETTER THAT CAME OUT FOR THE ROOF REPAIR.
WE WERE BROUGHT ON AS WELL AS THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEER TO COME IN AND DEVISE A PLAN FOR THE RENEWAL OF THE EXISTING TO SHAPE IT UP PER REQUIREMENT OF THE CITY TO CONTINUE WITH THE RENOVATIONS AND THE UPCOMING DESIGN THAT HE'S DOING FROM THE ARCHITECT REVIEW. WE BROUGHT ON -- EACH HURRICANE REQUIRED AN INDIVIDUAL STRUCTURAL EVALUATION.
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN CONTINUE WITH -- THE BUILDING.
[01:25:04]
WE HAVE THOSE PLANS IN PLACE AT THE PRESENT TIME.TWO THINGS WILL TAKE PLACE, WE'LL WATCH THE BACK THE -- OF THE EXISTING ROOF TO SAFE UP TO BUILDING.
THERE'S COMPONENTS TIMBERED UP TO HELP WITH THAT.
AND SECONDARY, ONCE THAT'S OUT, WE'LL REMOVE THE -- FROM THE PREVIOUS CLIENT THAT LEFT THE MESS THAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE CLEANED UP SINCE WASTE MANAGEMENT AND OTHER COMPANIES RESPONSIBLE. THAT'LL BE COMING TO FRUITION.
A FORM AND PERMIT WERE APPLIED FOR, WE DID NOT TAKE THE COURSE OF ACTION THAT WE'RE HEARING HERE TO WAIT FOR SPECIFIC TIME FRAME. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE REVIEW THAT HAD TO TAKE PLACE THIS BUILDING IS STRUCTURALLY COMPROMISED.
EACH, THE REASON FOR THE DELAY OF THE PERMIT, IS WE DIDN'T WANT TO APPLY FOR THE PERMIT EARLY AND HAVE IT EXPIRE AND REAPPLY.
CURRENTLY WE HAVE THE PLAN READY TO GO.
I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CAESAR HAS IT RELATES TO THAT MOVING FORWARD THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT. NOT SURE WHERE IT'S AT BUT IN PROCESS. WE'RE, WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO CONTINUE ONCE WE HAVE THE PERMIT.
WE'LL REMOVE -- AND SAFE UP THE ROOF AND CALL FOR INSPECTIONS.

BUT WE'RE CURRENTLY TRYING TO EVICT THE TENANT.
AND IT'S THE LADY MEXICAN BAT POPULATION OVER THE LAST SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS, HAVE MOVED IN. THEY COME BACK EVERY APRIL.
WE HAVE EMPLOYED A CLEANUP CONTRACTOR FOR THE GUANO AND THE NECESSARY STARTING OF THIS. THAT'S KIND OF PROHIBITING US FROM GOING IN THE SECONDARY BUILDING.
WE'RE HOPING IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS THEY'LL BE ABLE TO START, WE HAVE TO HAVE THE BUILDING SAFE UP BY APRIL.
WHEN THE BATS RETURN. IT'S ACTUALLY A HAZARDOUS SITUATION UNTIL THAT CLEANUP TAKES PLACE.

ONCE WE RECEIVED THE RESPONSE, I REVIEWED THE FILE AND FOUND ACCORDING TO THE CONTRACTOR, HE CONTACTED THE CITY PREVIOUSLY AND ADVISED AN INSPECTION WAS NOT REQUIRED FOR THE DEMOLITION WORK THAT TOOK PLACE.
HAD THE INSPECTION BEEN PERFORMED THAT WOULD HAVE AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED THE PERMIT, THAT WOULD AT THAT TIME THE FINES WOULD NOT HAVE STARRED SINCE THE PERMIT IS STILL ACTIVE.

THE TOTAL COST IS $7,740. THERE ARE THREE CRITERIA TO CONSIDER IN THE REDUCTION OF THE FINES.
ONE THE GRAVITY OF THE VIOLATION IS MINIMAL.
TWO, ANY AND ALL ACTIONS TAKEN TO CORRECT THE VIOLATIONS.
IN THIS CASE, THE CONTRACTOR WAS HIRED AND THE PERMIT WAS ISSUED AND RECEIVED THE NECESSARY FILE INSPECTIONS.
AND THROUGH A, THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE VIOLATOR WAS FOUND IN PREVIOUS VIOLATION OF THE BOARD SPECIAL MAGISTRATE OR OTHER JUDICIAL PROCESS WHERE OTHERWISE ANY SUCH PROCEEDING.
STAFF CALCULATED THE ADMINISTRATIVE COST TO BE $1,154. STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO REDUCE THE FINES TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE COST OF $1,154.
>> ANYTHING FURTHER? >> NOT AT THIS TIME.
>> IF YOU CAN. >> I'M HARD OF HEARING.
>> DID YOU HEAR MR. COSS? >> I'M SORRY.
>> DID YOU HEAR WHAT HE SAID? >> YES.
>> HE'S ASKING THE FINES BE REDUCED TO $1,154.
ARE YOU IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT? >> CAN YOU DO BETTER?
>> EVERYONE KNOWS THE ECONOMY ASSOCIATION AND WE HAVE WORKED DILIGENTLY WITH SEAN AND CAESAR, THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH OUT OF STATE CONTRACTOR, WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON, IF THEY COULD REDUCE THAT A BIT MORE. WE WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
CONDOS ARE ON A TIGHT BUDGET WITH THE INSURANCE THIS YEAR.
AND EVERYTHING ELSE GOING CRAZY. KIND OF HARD.
>> THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT THAT YOU ALREADY QUESTIONED WAS $7,730.
IS THAT ACCURATE? >> YES, MA'AM.
>> AND SO, HE'S ASKING FOR ESTIMATED COST, $1,154.
CAN YOU SET UP A PAYMENT PLAN? OR PAY IT OUT RIGHT?
[01:45:01]
>> IT COULD BE PAID IN PAYMENTS. >> IF YOU STICK TO THE THOUSAND DOLLARS WE CAN PAY THAT. FULL, THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
JUST INSTANCE, THEY RAISED IT -- AND THE TROUBLE IS, YOU DON'T GET TO INSURANCE QUOTE UNTIL TWO WEEKS PRIOR AND DO THE BUG IN NOVEMBER. -- BUDGET NOVEMBER.
NOW A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT, IT'S A MESS.
WHATEVER YOU FEEL IS -- >> UNDER THE RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO LOWER THAN BELOW THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEES. THERE'S ALSO A $250 FEE FOR THE APPLICATION, YOU ARE PERMITTED TO WAIVE THAT AND I'M LOOKING FOR THE TERMINOLOGY USED FOR THE FINDING THAT WOULD BE MADE.
IT SAYS ANY REDUCTION OR WAIVER OF A FEE IS ONLY GRANTED UPON PROOF OF SUFFICIENT CAUSE BY THE REQUESTER.
THE ADMINISTRATION FEES AND THEN DID WANT TO WAIVE THE 250, THEY WOULD HAVE TO PRESENT THE EVIDENCE.
>> OKAY. I THINK, WE HAVE SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE, WE NEED TO WAIVE IT. INCREASING COST OF THE INSU INSURANCE.
>> YES. >> SO WAIVE THE APPLICATION FEE.
>> THAT'S FINE. >> I'LL WAIVE IT BY $154.
THAT'LL GIVE YOU AN EVEN 1,000. >> OKAY.
AND HOW DO WE PAY THAT? GO TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT?
>> CAN I SEE THE ADMINISTRATION FEE?

COST PLUS THE 250 IS THE FEE. >> A FINE RECOGNITION, NOT A --
REDUCTION, NOT A LIEN REDUCTION. >> THERE'S NO FEE ON IT.

OF TIME. >> SO 1 -- THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
BASED ON THE STIPULATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES I REDUCED THE FEE TO -- NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT PAYMENT. HOW DO YOU WANT TO PAY THIS?
>> STAFF IS AGREEABLE TO ADDITIONAL TIME, I BELIEVE IN THE BEST INTEREST TO PAY IT SOONER THAN LATER, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS FINE IS HOLDING UP SOME CLOSINGS OF PRIVATE CONDOS IN THIS COMPLEX. THE STAFF IS WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM, BUT IT'S IN THEIR BEST INTEREST TO GET IT PAID AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE. >> THERE'LL BE A BILL SENT TO

WE CAN EXPEDITE THIS MATTER. >> I RESPECTFULLY -- I THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE THE RIGHT OCCASION TO BRING UP A FEW SITUATIONS.

IT TURNS OUT THAT WE GOT THE PERMIT FOR, AND THE REASON WE STARTED WITH, WORKING WITH THE CITY ENGINEER ARE NOW LEGAL IN THE CITY, AND THEY WEREN'T AT THAT TIME. FURTHER, IF WE WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT, WE COULD HAVE ASKED FOR COVID EXTENSIONS ON THE PERMITS BECAUSE OF THE TIMING OF THE GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE ORDERS.
WITH ALL THAT SAID, I P RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU WAIVE THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEE. THERE'S A LOT OF CIRCUMSTANCES THAT COULD PROBABLY HAVE A BETTER PROCEDURE, BUT DO WHATEVER YOU DOING. WHATEVER YOU DECIDE, YOUR HONOR.

ADMINISTRATIVE FEES. >> YOU CAN'T SAY YOU GOT AN AGREEMENT AND NOW YOU'RE ASKING FOR A DIFFERENT AMOUNT.

NOTICE -- >> YOU HAVE TO TALK TO THEM.
IF THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM, THEY NEED TO KNOW
IT. >> I HAVE A QUESTION, WHERE DO I

>> YES WE DID. >> DO THE PHOTOGRAPHS FAIRLY AND ACCURATELY DEPICT THE ALLEGATIONS?
>> EXHIBIT 1 THE PHOTOGRAPHS. >> ANYTHING FURTHER?
[02:20:16]
>> HOW DO YOU RESPOND? >> I'M NOT 100% SURE WHAT'S GOING ON. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I HIRED A COMPANY TO DO THE WORK FOR ME. THEY -- MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY ASKED THE CITY IF PERMITS WERE REQUIRED, BASICALLY ALL IT WAS WAS INITIAL -- TO PAINT THE LINES.
THE COMPANY WAS TOLD THEY WERE REQUIRED TO PULL PERMITS, AND THEY ARE -- I SPOKE WITH THEM AND THEY BASICALLY SAID THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT ALL. I'VE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH THEM, IT SEEMS THEY'VE HAD SOME OBSTACLES WHERE TO PULL THE PERMITS HAD TO REQUIRE DRAWING AND SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF -- THEY TALKED TO THE OFFICE THERE IN THE CITY. THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING EVERYTHING TAKEN CARE OF.
SO THAT'S WHY I WAS CONFUSED. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE CITY IS
ASKING WHAT WE'RE TO DO. >> YOU NEED A PERMIT.
>> CORRECT, CORRECT, WE'RE WORKING ON THAT RIGHT NOW.
THE APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED. >> BUT THIS CASE WAS INITIATED
AND THE -- I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON TOP OF THEM.
BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE WORKING TO GET THE PERMITS.
>> HAS ANYTHING BEEN SUBMITTED. >> FOR THE DBCR PROCESS.
>> ON THE 10TH. >> THEY WERE RECOMMENDED TO ME BY BASICALLY MY NEIGHBOR, IT'S AN HOA.
THEY BASICALLY, THEY ARE IN THE SAME BOAT BECAUSE HE RECOMMENDED TO ME, WE USED THE SAME COMPANY. HE'S ALREADY DONE IT OR PRESENT LATER ON TODAY. IT'S THE EXACT SAME THING AND WE'RE BOTH WORKING ON IT. WE HAVE REQUESTED THE PERMITS.
>> THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THIS IS THAT THIS CASE STARTED AUGUST 24, AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE UNTIL YOU GOT THE DCPR ON JANUARY 10, ONE WEEK AGO. BASICALLY NOTHING WAS DONE.
>> LIKE I SAID, I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE STAYED ON TOP OF THE COMPANY. MY UNDERSTANDING IS SOMEONE DID GET FIRED AND SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
ALL I CAN GO IS BASED ON WHAT THEY WERE TELLING ME.
THEY WERE WORKING ON IT. I DO HAVE AN E-MAIL FROM THEM ON THE 22ND OF DECEMBER THAT THEY WERE WORKING ON IT.
I NEVER CHECKED WITH THE CITY, HEY, IS THIS GUY LYING WITH ME OR WORKING WITH YOU GUYS? BUT ACCORDING TO WHAT HE WAS TELLING ME, THEY HAD TO GET ENGINEERING, TO DO LAYOUTS AND DO THIS, THAT'S WHAT THE CITY WAS REQUIRING.
[02:25:02]
I BELIEVE THEY HAD TO HIRE SOMEONE TO DO THE DRAWINGS AND STUFF LIKE THAT BEFORE THEY COULD SUBMIT IT.>> LESSON LEARNED. THAT I CAN'T ARGUE WITH.
I BELIEVE THEY HAD ALL THINGS IN ORDER AND THEIR LICENSE, I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD TO BE CHECKING WITH THE CITY AND MAKE SURE THEY GO TO THE PERMITS. BUT LESSON LEARNED.
>> ANY PERMITS PULLED? >> JUST THE APPLICATION.
IT'S PROBABLY NOT BEEN PROCESSED AT ALL IS MY GUESS.
>> I WAS GOING TO SAY, I'M NOT 100% SURE HOW IT WORKS, AT THIS POINT, I WOULD ASK FOR MORE TIME FOR THE APPLICATION TO GO FORWARD AND STAY ON TOP OF THESE GUYS.
>> THE WORK DONE -- >> SO FAR, THE WORK WAS DONE.
IT WAS JUST A PAINT JOB. IT WASN'T LIKE A COMPLEX THING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. THEY BASICALLY DID IT AND SAID,
YOU'RE GOOD TO GO. >> THEY FAILED TO OBTAIN THE
PERMITS PRIOR TO WORK. >> WHEN DID YOU GET NOTICE THAT THERE WAS NO PERMIT PULLED, ON AUGUST 24, RIGHT?
>> TO BE HONEST, I'M NOT 100% SURE.
CORRECT, LIKE I SAID, I SPOKE WITH THEM, A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND THEY WERE TELLING ME WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
I DIDN'T PAY THAT MUCH ATTENTION TO IT.
>> HE SHOULD HAVE IT IN 30 DAYS. >> ANYTHING FURTHER?
>> NO, NOT THAT I CAN THINK OF. >> BASED ON THE TESTIMONY AND EVIDENCE PRESENTED, A VIOLATION DOES EXIST, AND THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VIOLATION. I'LL GIVE YOU 60 DAYS.
OBTAIN APPROVAL FOR ALL OF THE INSPECTIONS, AT LEAST 180 DAYS UNTIL THE PERMIT IS CLOSED. AND CURE ALL OTHER VIOLATIONS NOT REQUIRING A PERMIT OR A FINE OF $100 PER DAY IS ASSESSED.
