CASE 23-1048, 1240 BINNEY DRIVE OWNED BY VINCENT TRUST.
CASE INITIATED APRIL 1, 2023 FOR IMPC, EMERGENCY ESCAPE OPENINGS, COVERED WINDOWS. ROOF AND DRAINAGE.
IT WAS REQUESTED THAT THEY REMOVE OR OPEN THE SHUTTERS AROUND THE HOME, REPAIR THE TRIM AROUND THE FRONT DOOR AREA, OBTAIN A PERMIT FROM BUILDING DEPARTMENT AND REPAIR THE ROOF WHERE THE TARP REMNANTS AND BRICKS ARE.
THE CITY REQUESTS THAT IF THE VIOLATION EXISTS, 30 DAYS TO CONTAIN A PERMIT AND A FINE OF $100 PER DAY BE ASSESSED.
I DO HAVE PHOTOS OF WHICH TO SUBMIT, WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH THE LADY MY LEFT BECAUSE SHE HAS NOT HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY YET. >> AM I SUPPOSED TO SPEAK?
>> THE ONLY QUESTION -- YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEAK AND EXPLAIN ANYTHING AND COMMENT ON ANYTHING WOULD LIKE IN THE PICTURES. THE QUESTION IS WHETHER YOU OBJECT TO WHETHER THEY ARE ACCURATE OR NOT?
>> NO, I DON'T OBJECT. >> OKAY.
SO WE CAN -- WE WILL MOVE THOSE IN IF MR. SAUCEDO IS ABLE TO RETRIEVE THOSE FROM YOU. AT THIS TIME, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, WE WILL MOVE COMPOSITE EXHIBIT 1 IN FOR THE
CITY FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHS. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THE PHOTOS
[00:05:06]
WILL BE ENTERED AS CITY'S COMPOSITE 1.>> JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DO THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY SO
WE CAN PUBLISH THEM PROPERLY. >> THEY HAVE TO GO ON THE
OVERHEAD. >> MADAM CLERK, DO YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THE OVERHEAD? WE NEED TO PROJECT IT FROM THE OVERHEAD CAMERA. AND SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THE SYSTEM IS BACK UP. AFTER THIS ONE, WE WILL DO A REBOOT AND WE WILL BE BACK TO NOR
NORMAL. >> IF YOU WANT TO PAGE THROUGH THEM REAL QUICK. JE
JEN. >> POLICE DEBEVEC, ANYTHING FURTHER FOR THIS SPECIAL MAGISTRATE?
>>HEATHER DEBEVEC: NOT AT THIS TIME.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THANK YOU. YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN SWORN, I
BELIEVE, RIGHT? >> YES, MA'AM.
THIS IS A VERY COMPLICATED SITUATION.
FIRST, I AM NOT ELODE VINCENT. SHE IS AN OLD TRUSTEE.
LET ME EXPLAIN THE SITUATION. THIS GENTLEMAN, HIS FAMILY HAS LIVED IN THAT HOUSE SINCE THE 1950S.
AND HE HAD AN ACCIDENT IN 1920 -- SORRY, 2020.
HE WENT INTO ASSISTED LIVING. THERE WAS A PREVIOUS -- THE PREVIOUS TRUST IS NOW BEING RUN BY A GUY NAMED ANTHONY GEORGE.
HE IS AN ATTORNEY IN STUART, FLORIDA.
BUT THERE HAS BEEN SOME DIRTY FOOTWORK.
SO JERRY ACTUALLY TOOK CONTROL OF HIS OWN TRUST, BUT THIS WAS RECENTLY. NOW HE FELL AND HE PROBING HIS HIP ON JULY 25. HE WAS LIVING IN ASSISTED LIVING IN SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA. HE WAS HOSPITALIZED.
AND THEN HE WAS RELEASED TO A REHAB CENTER IN FORT PIERCE BECAUSE I AM NOW HIS POWER OF ATTORNEY AND I WANTED HIM TO BE CLOSER WHERE I AM IN FORT PIERCE.
THERE WERE COMPLICATIONS FROM THE HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY AND NOW HE IS ACTUALLY IN LONGWOOD RGHT NOW.
AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE CONTROL OVER HIS TRUST BECAUSE HE TOOK RECONTROL OVER IT FROM THESE OTHER PEOPLE.
AND IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME BEFORE I CAN EVEN GET ACCESS TO THE MONEY. SO ALL THIS TIME -- AND I KNOW IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE THAT HOUSE HAS BEEN GOING BASICALLY TO POT. MR. VINCENT WAS NOT -- I DIDN'T FEEL I COULD TELL HIM WHAT TO DO.
SO IT -- I -- I ACKNOWLEDGE -- I MEAN, ACTUALLY SINCE THOSE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN, THE FRONT BUSHES HAVE BEEN TRIMMED.
THAT ATTORNEY IN STUART MUST HAVE GOTTEN THE NOTE.
BECAUSE THE FRONT BUSHES WERE TRIMMED BUT I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE WINDOWS ARE BLOCKED -- BLOCKED.
AND I THINK THE OTHER COUPLE OF THINGS THAT YOU MENTIONED WERE WEEDS GOING INTO A DRAIN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> IT WAS THE ROOF DAMAGE AT THE TOP.
IT'S REPORTED AS ROOFS AND DRAINAGE, BUT TO REPAIR THE ROOF
WHERE THE TARP REMNANTS ARE. >> OKAY.
SO, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO REPAIR A ROOF.
I AM NOT EVEN SURE, LIKE, ONCE I TALK TO THE BENEFICIARIES IF THEY WANT TO -- THIS MAN IS NOT IN GOOD CONDITION.
AND I AM SORRY TO SAY HE IS NOT. I DON'T -- HE -- I DON'T THINK HE WILL BE HERE A FEW MONTHS FROM NOW UNFORTUNATELY UNLESS THERE IS A MIRACLE. SO, YOU KNOW, I WOULD THINK THAT RATHER THAN INVEST IN A LOT OF MONEY OF THE HOUSE THEY WOULD WANT TO UNLOAD IT, SELL IT AS IS.
AS I SAID I AM NOT ELODE. SHE IS LONG GONE.
MY NAME IS MARY SUSAN NAAN, POWER OF ATTORNEY, SUCCESSOR
[00:10:01]
TRUSTEE. WHAT DO YOU DO IN A CASE WHERE THE ACTUAL OWNER IS IN BAD CONDCONDITION? >> OKAY, SO IF I CAN ASK A FEW CLARIFYING QUESTIONS. YOU HAVE POWER OF ATTORNEY OVER
IT SAYS -- ELODE VINCENT. ALL WEIRD THINGS HAPPENED WHEN SHE WAS POWER OF ATTORNEY. HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS GOING ON. SHE TRANSFERRED IT INTO HER NAME. HE IS ACTUALLY THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE AND I CAN GET LIKE AN ATTORNEY AND BANKER TO CONFIRM.
HIS FAMILY HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE 1950S.
HE TAUGHT SCHOOL IN ST. LUCIE AT DAN MCCARTHY MIDDLE SCHOOL.
AND HE -- HE -- HE WAS LIVING -- SHE -- WELL, HE FELL IN 2020.
SHE PUT HIM IN ASSISTED LIVING UP IN SEBASTIAN.
SHE DIDN'T BRING HIM BACK AND FORTH.
I WOULD BRING HIM BACK AND FORTH SOMETIMES.
I SAID DON'T YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS HOUSE.
BUT FORGIVE MY EXPRESSION, A PACK RAT.
SO IT IS FULL OF THINGS. AND HE DIDN'T -- I SAID CAN WE SELL THEM OR GIVE THEM TO AN ANTIQUE DEALER.
BUT HE WANTED TO JUST KEEP EVERYTHING THERE.
I KNOW THE HOUSE IS IN BAD SHAPE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT MIGHT JUST BE BETTER FOR ALL THE BENEFICIARIES TO SELL AS IS.
AND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE EVER DONE THAT GIVE A CERTAIN DATE THAT YOU SELL IT BY.
I CAN CERTAINLY GO OVER THERE AND OPEN THE WINDOWS, THE SHUTTERS. WHAT IS THE POINT OF PUTTING ON A NEW ROOF IF -- YOU KNOW, THE HOUSE IS NOT IN GOOD CONDITION.
MAYBE SOMEBODY WANTS TO BUY IT FOR THE PROPERTY.
>> SO WHAT WE ARE DOING IS TRYING TO PULL UP THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S WEB SITE. WE GO BY WHAT IS ON THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S WEB SITE WHO THE OWNER IS.
SO WE ARE TRYING TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE.
SO BEAR WITH US FOR JUST A SECOND.
>> YES, I KNOW THERE IS ANOTHER NAME ON THERE.
>> POWER OF ATTORNEY. >> HE IS THE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR ELODE IT LOOKS LIKE. YOU HAVE THE POWER OF ATTORNEY.
>> FOR MR. VINCENT AND THE SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE.
HE HAS TAKEN OVER HIS TRUST. SO THE THING ABOUT ELODE IS NO LONGER. I GUESS I NEED TO GO TO THE OFFICE AND CHANGE THE NAME ON IT.
I HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTS. >> LOOK LIKE THE MOST RECENT DEED IS -- IF YOU GO -- RIGHT THERE.
YEP. >> HER NAME TO THE TRUST.
>> OKAY. CAN WE HAVE ONE SECOND?
>> SURE. >> HEATHER, CAN I SEE YOUR FILE?
>>HEATHER DEBEVEC: YES. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, SPEAKING WITH STAFF, GIVEN THE ISSUES WITH OWNERSHIP, THE TRUSTEE STATUS, WE ARE AGREEABLE TO A 60-DAY CONTINUANCE SO THAT THEY CAN WORK TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO WITH THE PROPERTY. SO WE CAN CONTINUE THIS OUT UNTIL YOUR AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER -- OCTOBER SPECIAL
MAGISTRATE DATE. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OCTOBER
18, DOES THAT SOUND RIGHT? >> OCTOBER 19.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: 18TH. >> YES.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: 18TH, CORRECT?
>> MA'AM, IS THAT OKAY WITH YOU? >> YES, I JUST -- I GUESS THE MAIN ISSUE IS THE ROOF. LIKE THAT IS GOING TO BE REAL EXPENSIVE TO GET FIX. IF WE WANT TO SELL THE HOUSE AS IS. I MEAN, THE OTHER THINGS CAN BE ADDRESSED. BUT I DON'T KNOW -- LIKE IF I COME BACK IN OCTOBER AND THAT ROOF IS STILL NOT FIXED, ARE YOU GOING TO FINE HIM OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
>> THAT MAY OCCUR. WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IF YOU SPEAK WITH MISS DEBEVEC, SHE IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND EXPLAIN TO YOU ALL WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. BUT I WILL STAY IN CONTACT WITH HER AS TO WHAT PROGRESS YOU ARE MAKING.
[00:15:02]
>> OKAY, THANK YOU. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY, SO IT WILL BE CONTINUED UNTIL OCTOBER 18.
>> ANY DOCUMENTATION YOU HAVE REGARDING TITLE, POWERS OF ATTORNEY, DEEDS, EVERYTHING YOU HAVE GIVE THEM TO MISS DEBEVEC WE CAN PUT THEM IN THE FILE SO WE CAN LOOK THROUGH ALL OF THAT.
>> YES, MA'AM. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, IF WE TAKE TWO MINUTES I WILL RESTART AND HOPEFULLY THE DRIVES WILL BE
BACK UP AND RUNNING. >> HIT RESTART.
>> IT'S RESTARTING. I HIT "RESTART." YOU NO WHAT IT IS, IT IS DOWN THE
THERE. >> WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING
SOMETIMES, I PROMISE. >> THIS WHOLE AFTERNOON EVENING
THING IS. >> IN FAIRNESS, IT IS MISSING ME UP TOO. I AM THROWN THROWN OFF DOING THIS IN THE AFTERNOON. IT IS BIZARRE.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YEAH. I THINK EVEN OUT THERE.
>> LISTEN, IF I HAD TO DO THIS,
WE. >> YOU ARE BREAKING EVERYTHING
YOU TOUCH. >> TECHNOLOGY IS NOT MY THING.
NOT MY THING. >> I THOUGHT IT WAS ALREADY HE HERE.
>> YESTERDAY -- >> COMING TO THE RESCUE.
HE COULDN'T TAKE THE STRUGGLE ANYM
ANYMORE. >> UNTIL HE COMES OUT AND TRIES
>> JUST CLOSE IT OUT. >> OH, JUST CLOSE IT OUT.
>> THERE IS NOTHING -- NOW I DO. THANK YOU.
>> OKAY WE ARE BACK IN BUSINESS. OKAY.
IS THIS THE RIGHT ONE? ALL RIGHT.

ADVERTISEMENTS ON WEB SITES FOR VACATION AND SHORT-TERM RENTALS OR ASSUMED TO BE FOR VACATION OR SHORT-TERM RENTALS REGARDLESS OF THE LENGTH OF DAY. I HAVE A COPY OF ADS AND I HAVE A NOTICE FROM THE CITY CLERK'S THIS AFTERNOON WHERE THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED AS OF YET.
I DID HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO MR. CREWS ABOUT THE REGISTRATION AND SOME OF THE PROCESS AND THAT THE ADS NEED TO
COME DOWN. >> SIR, HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO
REVIEW ALL OF THOSE DOCUMENTS? >> NO.
>> DO YOU HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS OF BEING ACCURATE.
YOU CAN EXPLAIN ANYTHING YOU LIKE BUT OBJECTION TO THEIR

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: DO YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS?
>> NO, I WANT TO CONFIRM THAT THEY WERE ADMITTED.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YES. THE PHOTOS WILL BE ENTERED AS

KNOW IF YOU HAD QUESTIONS. >> NO, MA'AM.
>> OKAY. I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT SOMETHING. IT IS CALLED THE VACATIONS AND RENTAL TIME SHARES ACT. PRODUCED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATIONS.
A NICE ONE. >> IS THERE SPECIFIC PORTION IN HERE, SIR, THAT YOU LIKE OUR ATTENTION DRAWN TO.
>> HIGHLIGHTED UNDER EXCLUSIONS, 1.0, SECOND PAGE.
>> WHERE YOU CIRCLED? >> THAT'S CORRECT.
>> IF YOU GIVE ME ONE SECOND TO READ, PLEASE.
>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO YOU REVIEWING THIS FOR WHATEVER WEIGHT YOU BELIEVE IT DESERVES.
[00:25:02]
I WILL POINT OUT THAT IT IS RELATED TO LICENSING FROM THE DIVISION OF HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS.NOT REFERENCING OUR MUNICIPAL CODES.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WOULD YOU LIKE THIS BACK?
>> I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IT, IF POSSIBLE.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: SURE. >> THE HOUSE THAT I HAVE -- IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURE THAT WERE JUST PRESENTED, AND YOU CAN SEE THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE. IT LOOKS LIKE ONE SOLID HOUSE.
THAT PICTURE. >> THIS ONE HERE?
>> YES, CLICK THAT ONE. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: MAKE IT BIG BIGGER.
>> THE ZOOM BUTTON. >> BOTTOM RIGHT.
SO YOU LOOK AT THE HOUSE AND YOU THINK IT IS ONE SOLID HOUSE.
YOU WOULD THINK IF THE AD ON VRBO THAT HE IS RENTING THE WHOLE HOUSE. NO, THAT PARTICULAR AREA IS BASICALLY THE UPSTAIRS MOTHER-IN-LAW SUITE.
MY PARTICULAR UNIT HAS FOUR BEDROOMS AND TWO BATHS.
I AM RENTING THE UP STAIRS TWO BEDROOM, TWO BATH.
ONE DOWNSTAIRS, I AM NOT RENTING -- IT IS NOT FOR, WHAT DO THEY CALL IT TRANSIENT PEOPLE. LOOK AT THAT AND LOOKING AT THIS, SAYS EXCLUSION. I WAS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION IT WAS A PRIVATE THING THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO NECESSARILY REGISTER IT. BUT BECAUSE I KNOW I AM SELLING SPACE, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I COVERED ALL MY TAXES.
THAT IS WHY I PUT IT ON VRBO. WHERE VRBO TAKES THE APPROPRIATE TAX OUT OF IT AND SENDS IT TO THE TAX AUTHORITY AND SEND ME BACK MY BALANCE. SO I WAS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION BECAUSE IT WAS PRIVATE. BECAUSE IT WAS THIS.
IT MAY HAVE BEEN A BAD ASSUMPTION ON MY PART, BUT ALL THE ADMINISTRATION AND PROCESS FOR ALL THIS DID NOT -- DID NOT REALLY COUNT. BECAUSE IT WAS A PRIVATE SECTION. ALL I HAD TO DO IS MAKE SURE I PAY THE CITY, THE COUNTY AND THE STATE ITS MONEY THROUGH THE SALES TAX. AND THAT'S WHY I USE VRBO.
>> I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE.
SIR, WHEN YOU RECEIVED THE NOTICE WITH THE CITY REGARDING THE VIOLATION. DID YOU CALL THE CLERK'S OFFICE?
>> YES, I WENT STRAIGHT UPSTAIRS.
THEY TOLD ME ALL THE STUFF I HAD TO START PROCESSING.
I ALREADY STARTED PROCESSING IT. STARTED PAYING GUYS.
I AM LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE, BUT THIS THING DOESN'T NEED TO BE REGISTERED BECAUSE OF THIS. BUT I WAS STILL GOING TO GO
THROUGH THE PROCESS, YES. >> DID THEY EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A STATE LICENSURE.
WHAT WE ARE ABOUT IS A PERMIT FROM THE CITY.
THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE AGENCIES AND ENTITIES.
>> WHEN -- NO, WE DID NOT GET THAT SPECIFIC.
SHE SAID YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH -- SHE HIGHLIGHTED FOR MME -- O -- SHE HIGHLIGHTED FOR ME ALL THE THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO.
THE EXTERIOR, INTERIOR, TOURIST DEVELOPMENT, TAX ACCOUNT AND THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF PROFESSIONAL AND LEGAL LICENSING. SO AFTER TALKING TO MISS -- THIS WONDERFUL LADY RIGHT HERE, TALKING TO HER.
MY CONFUSION. SHE WAS TELLING ME, NO, YOU CAN DO IT THIS WAY. YOU CAN DO IT THIS WAY FOR THE INTERIOR SKETCH AND THE EXTERIOR SKETCH.
I SAID, OKAY, I HAVE THAT PART. I HAVE APPLIED FOR THE ST. LOUIS -- NO, I HAVEN'T. I AM CONFUSED ABOUT THAT PART.
ANYWAY, THAT IS WHAT I WAS WORKING ON WITH HER.
BUT WHEN I TALKED TO THE LADIES UPSTAIRS, WHEN THEY SAID YOU HAVE TO APPLY WITH THE STATE AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE A L.L.C.
THEY TOLD ME OTHER THINGS ALONG THOSE LINES.
[00:30:02]
I WENT BACK AND I READ IT SHALL THAT DOESN'T ACCOUNT FOR THIS.BECAUSE I DON'T NEED MY OWN TEN NUMBER OR EI,N OR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER OR I HAD TO REGISTER A LLC.
SO I WAS VERY CONFUSED. SO, YES, I DID TALK TO THEM.
BUT CLARITY DIDN'T REALLY COME OUT OF THAT CONVERSATION.
>> OKAY. SO THEY EXPLAINED TO YOU THAT YOU NEEDED TO REGISTER WITH THE CITY, RIGHT?
>> THEY SAID I NEED TO REGISTER. >> HAND THIS IS RELATED TO THE NOTICE THAT YOU GOT, RIGHT, TELLING YOU WEREN'T REGISTERED
WITH THE CITY. >> THAT I NEED TO REGISTER.
>> YOU DON'T BELIEVE YOU NEED TO REGISTER?
>> WELL, NOW -- NOW I AM NOT SAYING THAT I DON'T NEED TO REGISTER WITH THE STATE, BUT I NEED TO REGISTER THE UNIT WITH
>> WITH THE -- >> I WILL TELL YOU I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE COUNTY'S REQUIREMENTS ARE.
>> I DO NEED TO REGISTER WITH THE COUNTY, BUT WITH THIS -- I DO BELIEVE THIS IS THE COUNTY REGISTRATION SHEET.
>> COME I JUMP IN, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, SIR.
IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU.
OKAY. THIS IS THE CITY'S WEB SITE.
THERE IS A LINK ON THE CITY CLERK'S PAGE FOR SHORT-TERM AND VACATION RENTALS. AND ALL OF THE PROCESSES ARE PROVIDED, TO OKAY. RIGHT HERE.
ALL OF YOUR HELPFUL FORMS AND REGISTRATIONS.
THE ISSUE IS, YOU EITHER NEED TO HAVE A PERMIT.
AND WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A PERMIT, WHICH YOU DO NOT, YOUR ADS NEED TO COME DOWN. BECAUSE IF YOU ARE ADVERTISING WITHOUT A PERMIT, YOU ARE IN VIOLATION OF OUR CODES.
OKAY. SO UNTIL YOU GET THE PERMIT THAT YOU NEED, YOU NEED TO TAKE THE ADS DOWN.
>> CORRECT. >> YOU CAN TAKE WHATEVER PROCESS YOU CHOOSE TO DO. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PROCESS SESS. DEPENDS HOW MANY DAYS YOU ARE RENTING FOR. CAN BE EXPLAINED IN THE LINK.
IF THE WOMEN UPSTAIRS WEREN'T CLEAR, ALL THE LINKS ON THE CITY'S WEB SITE CAN HELP PROVIDE YOU THE INFORMAION, OKAY.
>> THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL. THEY GAVE ME ANOTHER WEB SITE.
>> WILL GIVE YOU THE LINKS TO ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WE NEED INCLUDING OUR ORDINANCE WHICH IS YOUR HERE TODAY.
THE ORDINANCE SAID YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PERMIT TO DO A SHORT-TERM OR VACATION RENTAL. SO WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR TODAY IS TO SAY, YOU NEED TO HAVE A PERMIT.
WE HAVE GOT CONFIRMATION FROM THE CITY'S CLERK OFFICE YOU DO NOT. YOU STATED TODAY YOU DO NOT AND
YOUR ADS ARE DOWN. >> NO PROBLEM.
I WILL TAKE NO ISSUE OF TAKING THEM DOWN.
>> THAT IS WHERE WE ARE FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT.
>> THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM WHATSOEVER.
>> IF THESE LINKS WILL HELP YOU GET INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN READ AND MAYBE -- > CAN ASK YOU A QUICK QUESTION.
THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PERMIT AND A LICENSE?
>> WE ARE USING THEM ALL INTERCHANGEABLY.
PERMIT, LICENSE, REGISTRATION, WE ARE USING THEM ALL
INTERCHANGEABLY. >> I AM HEARING CORRECTLY, I DON'T NEED A STATE LICENSE, BUT A CITY LICENSE.
>> ACCORDING GET THE CITY LICENSE, YOU MAY NEED THE STATE LICENSE. IT DEPENDS HOW YOU PLAN TO MOVE FORWARD WITH YOUR SHORT-TERM VACATION RENTAL.
SOME REQUIRE A STATE LICENSE AND SME NOT.
>> I CAN TELL YOU THE MAGIC NUMBER IN 30 DAYS.
SET OF RULES FOR 30 DAYS AND OVER AND ONE SET OF RULES FOR LESS THAN 30 DAYS. THAT IS WHERE YOU WILL SEAT DIFFERENCE. OKAY.
THE GIRLS IN THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE.
THESE LADIES CAN HELP YOU. AGAIN, WE ARE HERE TO SAY YOU DON'T HAVE A PERMIT. SO --
>> AND I DO NEED ONE. >> IF YOU DON'T COMPLY, BRING
THE ADS DOWN. >> I WILL DO THAT AS SOON AS I
WALK OUT OF HERE. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HE HAS
FIVE DAYS TO DO THAT? >> I GOT TO FIND THIS AGAIN.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I GUESS -- THE ADV UP NOW.
>> YES, BUT BLOCKED. NO ONE CAN BOOK BECAUSE I HAVE BLOCKED OFF THE DATES OFF. I CAN REMOVE THE TOTAL ADS DOWN.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. SO TO BE CLEAR, TODAY -- AS OF
TODAY, HE IS IN VIOLATION. >> YES, MA'AM.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HE HAS FIVE DAYS TO FIX IT.
>> FIX IT. >> THAT IS WHAT WE ARE
REQUESTING. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: CAN YOU DO
>> SO MRS. ARRAIZ IS CORRECTING ME.
NOT ONLY FIVE DAYS BUT A FINE OF $50 A DAY IF HE DOES NOT OBTAIN THE PROPER LICENSING FROM THE CITY WITHIN THE FIVE DAYS.
>> ARE YOU READING IT? >> YOU WANT FIVE DAYS TO OBTAIN HIS PERMIT OR A FINE OF -- SORRY, $5,000 BE ASSESSED.
[00:35:04]
SORRY. >>HEATHER DEBEVEC: CORRECT.
>> SORRY. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I AM ASSUMING THAT HE MIGHT -- SAYING THAT FIVE DAY IS NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR HIM EVEN -- HE IS WILLING TO DO IT, BUT NEEDS TEN DAYS.
>> TEN IS EVEN BETTER. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: DOES THE
IT IS ONLINE APP THAT CAN BE DONE IN A MATTER OF 30 MINUTES OR LESS. WE ARE REQUESTING THAT THE FIVE
DAYS STAND. >> THE ONE REASON I WANT TO PUSH BACK ON THAT FIVE DAYS IS BECAUSE OF THE ONE PARTICULAR THING HERE THAT SAYS I HAVE TO HAVE -- I BELIEVE IT IS A STATE LICENSE, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE -- WE WENT THROUGH -- I DON'T BELIEVE I HAVE A STATE LICENSE, TO PROVE THAT, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. I THINK PROBABLY SOMETHING I WILL HAVE TO DO TO SHOW THE DOWNSTAIRS IS NOT OPEN TO TRANSITORY FOLKS, JUST THE UPSTAIRS IS WHICH ALLOWS ME TO NOT HAVE TO FILE WITH THE STATE UNDER THE LICENSING EXCLUSION SECTION THAT I SHOWED YOU. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT REQUIREMENTS I AM GOING TO HAVE TO DO TO PROVE THAT.
THAT IS WHY I AM ASKING FOR TEN DAYS.
>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, STAFF IS ASKING FOR FIVE DAYS TO BRING THE ADS DOWN AND BRING IT INTO COMPLIANCE.
>> I CAN BRING THE ADS DOWN. >> HE CAN TAKE WHATEVER HE NEEDS
TO GET HIS PERMIT. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY.
I WILL FINE FIVE DAYS -- YOU HAVE FIVE DAYS TO TAKE THE AD DOWN AS A MINIMUM AND YOU CAN DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO GO FORWARD, YOU HAVE TO GET THE PERMIT AND DO WHAT YOU NEED TO
DO. >> FIVE DAYS THE SIGN -- THE SIGN -- THE ADS MUST BE OFF OF VRBO.
>> NO PROBLEM. >> ALL WEB SITES.
>> I DON'T HAVE VRBO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DO WITH LINKAGES BUT I WILL TAKE IT DOWN FROM THEM.
>> MRS. ARRAIZ, ARE YOU ASKING FOR A FINE IF HE DOES NOT DO
THAT IN FIVE DAYS. >> FIVE DAYS, $50 A DAY.
>> NO, SIR. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: $5,000.
SO YOU REALLY NEED TO ACT ON THAT QUICKLY.
>> YES, VERY QUICKLY. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THEN I FIND THAT THE VIOLATION EXISTS NOW, BUT YOU HAVE FIVE DAYS TO TAKE THE ADS DOWN OTHERWISE THE FINE OF $5,000 WILL BE ASSESSED.
OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE WITH THE CITY?
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.
>> DO YOU NEED THIS BACK? >> YES.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, OUR NEXT CASE IS 23 23-374117 WISTERIA AVENUE.
REUBEN CASTRO AND JANNELY CASTRO.
>> MY WIFE WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE IT TODAY.
>> YOU ARE MR. CASTRO? >> YES, MA'AM.
>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, I WILL READ THIS ONE IN.
CASE NUMBER 23-0374 FOR 117 WISTERIA OF REUBEN AND JANNELY CASTRO. CASE INITIATED FEBRUARY 24 OF THIS YEAR AND IT IS BEFORE YOU TODAY FOR A MASSEY HEARING.
SO FINES HAVE BEEN INITIATED BUT NO LIEN HAS BEEN FILED.
CODE SECTIONS IN VIOLATION 24-19, 24-20, 24-21, SUBSECTIONS 4 FOR PARKING OTHER THAN PAVEMENT.
AND SUBSECTIONS 24-19, 24-20, 24-21, 1 AND 5 FOR OUTSIDE STORAGE. ON MAY 3, SPECIAL MAGI MAGISTRATE PELLETIER FOUND THAT THE VIOLATION EXISTED AND ORDERED 10 DAYS TO COMPLY OR $100 TO BE ASSESSED JUNE 1, 23023 -- FORGIVE THE TYPO, AN AFFIDAVIT OF NONCOMPLIANCE WAS ISSUED AND NOTICE OF THE FINE WAS SENT TO THE OWNERS.
JUNE 27 -- JUNE 22, THE PROPERTY WAS FOUND IN COMPLIANCE AND THE FINES STOPPED. AND THE MASSEY REQUEST WAS RECEIVED FROM THE OWNER ON JUNE 27.
THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE FINES IS $2130, INCLUDING ALL RECORDING GU GUYS.
I DO NEED TO REVIEW THE CRITERIA FOR THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE TO CONSIDER WHICH IS THE SERIOUSNESS AND GRAVITY OF THE VIOLATION WHICH WERE MODERATE. ANY AND ALL ACTIONS BY THE VIOLATORS TO CORRECT THE VIOLATIONS.
THE ESCAPE OPENINGS WAS COMPLIED IN OCTOBER.
AND AN AFFIDAVIT OF PARTIAL COMPLIANCE WAS ISSUED BACK THEN AND JUST THE LAST TWO REMAINING VIOLATION THAT WERE JUST ADDRESSED THIS PAST MONTH. OR JUNE.
AND ANY PREVIOUS VIOLATIONS, THERE WERE NONE.
THIS IS THE ONLY CODE ACTIVITY AT THIS LOCATION.
REGARDING ADMINISTRATION GUYS, AGAIN, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, WE USE THE MONTHS OPEN. THE STAFF LIKES TO CONSIDER IT AS -- WITH SOFT COSTS. THE COSTS THAT ARE NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO ANY ACTION TAKEN SUCH AS MAILINGS AND PHOTOGRAPHS.
THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE ADMINISTRATION COSTS ARE ROUGHLY
[00:50:01]
$1500. IF WE WERE TO REDUCE THIS BY THE 600, IT WOULD BRING IT DOWN TO AROUND $900.STAFF WOULD BE AGREEABLE TO ACTUALLY REDUCING THIS TO $750
IN ADMINISTRATION CHARGES. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY.
>> AND THAT WOULD BE STAFF'S RECOMME
RECOMMENDATION. >> WERE YOU ABLE TO COMMUNICATE
THAT WITH MR. CASTRO? >> I IS IT NOT HAVE THE CHANCE
TO SPEAK TO HIM. >> THE QUESTION IS IF YOU WANT TO AGREE TO THE REDUCTION OF $750.
>> THE TOTAL I WOULD HAVE TO PAY?
>> SURE. >> MY CONCERN WAS WHEN -- I WAS AWARE TWF, YOU KNOW, THE RECOMMENDATION TO REMOVE A COUPLE OF SIDE-BY-SIDE UTILITY VEHICLES.
I WAS DOING MAJOR RENOVATIONS TO THE HOUSE AND I WASN'T IN THE FINANCIAL SITUATION TO GET SOMEWHERE TO TAKE THEM TOO.
WHICH FINALLY -- FUNNY THE WAY IT HAPPENED.
WHEN SHE SHOWED UP ON THE 1S[L]T AND FOUND IT IN NONCOMPLIANCE, THAT VERY SAME DAY, I HAD ACQUIRED ANOTHER LOCATION.
SO I CAN TAKE THEM TO. SO -- I MEAN, WHEN SHE SHOWED UP REASON HOUR LATER, I GOT OUT OF WORK, AND THE CARTS WERE REMOVED. BUT I WAS GETTING BILLED FROM THAT DAY UNTIL THE VERY NEXT TIME THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO GO AND REVIEW IT. AND AFTER SPEAKING WITH HER, SHE SAID I SHOULD HAVE CALLED HER OR THE OFFICE.
BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN NUISANCE, NONCOMPLIANCE.
I TRY TO KEEP UP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
SO I REALLY AM NOT AWARE OF WHAT THE PROCEEDINGS ARE OR THE PROCEDURES, SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT FREQUENCY SHE SHOWED UP.
SO WHILE IT WAS IN NONCOMPLIANCE WHEN SHE SHOWED UP, LIKE I SAID, THAT DAY, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND GETTING CHARGED FOR IT, BUT LIKE I SAID, IT WAS WHEN SHE FILED IT, AN HOUR LATER THE CARTS WERE GONE. REALISTICALLY I WAS GETTING FINED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TIME UNTIL THE NEXT TIME SHE WAS ABLE TO SHOW UP. SO I AM COMING TO SEE IF ANYTHING WE CAN TAKE OFF OF THAT TIME.
>> UNFORTUNATELY, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, BOTH THE ORDER THAT IS SENT AND ANY ADDITIONAL FOLLOW-UP UP TO THE RESPONDENT T LET US KNOW IF SOMETHING IS COMPLIED.
WE DON'T GO BY EVERY DAY. SO WE WENT BY.
WE SAW IT IN VIOLATION. THAT IS WHEN WE DID OUR NOTICE.
HE FAILED TO NOTIFY THE OFFICE THAT ANY CHANGES WERE MADE.
AND, THEREFORE, WAITED UNTIL OUR NEXT INSPECTION.
SO WE CAN'T CONFIRM OR DENY THAT IT WAS CHANGED BETWEEN THE TWO
DAYS. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YES.
I AM -- $750 IS THE RECOMMENDATION -- THE REDUCTION.
IF -- IF YOU -- IF YOU ACCEPT THAT, I AM INCLINED.
>> THAT IS THE BEST THING I CAN >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY.
$750 WILL BE THE TOTAL THEN. >> OKAY.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THANK YOU FOR COMING IN.
>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, WE WILL ASK FOR A REVERSION.
HOW MUCH TIME TO PAY IS STAFF REQUESTING?
>> 60 DAYS. >> SO WHAT WE ARE REQUESTING THAT IT BE PAID WITHIN 60 DAYS. IF IT IS NOT PAID WITHIN 60
DAYS, IT WILL REVERT TOOT $2130. >> I WILL PAY TODAY.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THANK YOU. >> SO YOU WANT TO PAY TODAY?
>> YES. >> I WILL HAVE TO SEND IT UPSTAIRS. GIVE ME ONE MOMENT TO TAKE CARE OF THAT. NO, YOU CAN STAND DOWN.
JEN, DO YOU HAVE A HARD COPY I CAN TAKE? DO YOU HAVE THE HARD COPY THAT I CAN USE?
>> YES, SHE DOES. AND I BELIEVE WE CAN CALL THE

NEXT CASE WHILE HIS ARRAIZ IS FILLING THAT OUT.THE NEXT CASE 23-063, OCEAN AVENUE, OPENED BY ROCK MINISTRIES OF THE TREASURE COAST, INC.
I WILL BE TRENTING, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE.
THIS IS EXCESSIVE ANALYSIS ALARM APPEALS THE FIRST ALARM WAS JULY SIDE DOOR NORTH -- I DON'T BELIEVE YOU SWORE YOURSELF IN
AND HAVE MISS ARRAIS. >> JENNIFER CRESPO-MARTINEZ.
[00:55:09]
>> YOU ARE GOOD TO GO NOW. >>JENNIFER CRESPO-MARTINEZ: SO THE FIRST ALARM FEE IS WAIVED. SO THE SECOND ALARM OCCURRED ON JULY 25, 2019. THE SIDE NORTH DOOR FOR A WINE OF $100. THE THIRD WAS SEPTEMBER 7, 2019, SIDE DOOR SOUTH FOR $200. THE FOURTH WAS MAY 12, 2021, MAIN ENTRANCE DOOR FOR $200. NOVEMBER 14, 2021, MAIN ENTRY DOOR, $200. APRIL 30, 2022, MAIN ENTRY DOOR, $400. SEPTEMBER 29, 2022, MAIN ENTRY DOOR FOR $400. OCTOBER 9, 2022, SIDE DOOR SOUTH FOR $500. OCTOBER 15, 2022, MOTION AT THE CONNECTOR, $500. AND THE LAST WAS OCTOBER 19, 2022, MOTION INSIDE FOR $500 FOR A TOTAL OF $3400.
I ALSO HAVE THE APPEAL LETTER FOR YOU TO REVIEW.
>> MA'AM, CAN YOU TELL US YOUR NAME.
>> MY NAME IS RUTH JEFFERSON. >> WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO
ROCK MINISTRIES. >> MY HUSBAND IS THE PASTOR AND I DO THE ADMINISTRATIVE WORK, SMALL CHURCH.
I'M HERE FROM MY OTHER FULL-TIME JOB, BUT THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
>> APPEAL PAPERWORK THAT I AM ASSUMING THAT YOU FILLED OUT.
>> UNFORTUNATELY ON OCEAN AVENUE, A LOT OF PEOPLE PULLING DOORS AND CAUSING FALSE ALARMS TRYING TO GET IN THERE BECAUSE THERE IS A COMMERCIAL STRIP THERE.
I PERSONALLY WAS NOT AWARE WE COULD DO TRAINING AND GET THE GUYS -- AVOID SOME OF THIS, OF COURSE WE LIVE IN VERO.
WHEN PEOPLE ARE -- WHEN THE ALARM COMPANY CALLS AND SAYS ITS GOING ON. SEND THE COP.
WE SAY OKAY. BECAUSE WE CAN'T GET THERE SOON ENOUGH. WE HAVE LEARNED SINCE THESE ACCUMULATED THAT WE CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE.
THEY ARE STILL PULLING DOORS AND NOT CALLING THE COPS.
OWE OVER 3,000. TRYING TO SEE IF WE CAN DOING
SOMETHING. >> SO DO YOU WANT THE PAPERWORK THAT YOU FILLED OUT. DO YOU WANT THAT ADMITTED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE CAN SEE WHAT YOU
WROTE? >> YES, BASICALLY WE --
>> SO. >> SORRY, IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE
HAVING MICROPHONE DIFFICULTY. >> TALK INTO IT -- BECAUSE I AM CATCHING A COLD OR SOMETHING -- SO I DON'T WANT TO MAKE ANYONE
SICK. >> I WILL MARK THIS AS RESPONDENT EXHIBIT 1, IF I CAN HAVE MY LITTLE BOX OF --
>> SIGNATURE IN PEN. >> ALL DISCOMBOBULATED.
>> LITERALLY STUCK. >> I CAN JUST WRITE ON -- SPECIAL MAGISTRATE I WILL MOVE THIS ON HER BEHALF, RESPONDENT
EXHIBIT NUMBER 1. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ONE PAGE WILL BE ENTERED AS RESPONDENT EXHIBIT NUMBER 1.
>> MISS CRESPO-MARTINEZ, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD?
>>JENNIFER CRESPO-MARTINEZ: UM, NO.
>> NOTHING FURTHER FROM STAFF AT THIS POINT. NOTHING FURTHER FRT
THIS POINT. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY, THE LETTER ASKING FOR THE REDUCTION DUNKS IS ASKING FOR AT THAT WAIVER. MEANING WAIVING ALL OF THE GUYS.
>> CORRECT. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I AM ASSUMING THE CITY WOULD NOT BE IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT.
>> NO, MA'AM. MY UNDERSTANDING AND STAFF CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, WE ARE ASKING THE $3400.
>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, JUST TO EXPAND ON WHAT MISS HEDGES JUST SAID. THE CHARGE IS BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS REQUIRED TO GO OUT AND INVESTIGATE. AND IT IS TAKING THE POLICE OFFICERS TIME AND REMOVING THEM FROM WHAT THEY COULD BE
[01:00:04]
RESPONDING TO ANOTHER ONE WITH WHAT IS CONSIDERED A FALSE ALARM. WHILE WE UNDERSTAND IT IS A SMALL CHURCH. AND WE WOULD UNDERSTAND IF THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE WISHES TO ADJUST THAT, WE WILL LEAVE THAT IN YOUR HAND. BUT THE CHARGES ARE IN PLACE OF THE FACT THAT IT DOES REQUIRE PERSONNEL FROM THE 911 CALL TO THE POLICE OFFICER TO RESPOND. AND THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE CHAR CHARGES.>> WOULD YOU LET ME SAY SOMETHING.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RESPOND.
I WAS WONDERING WHY NOTHING WAS DONE.
I UNDERSTAND IT HAPPENING. >> WE WERE LEARNED THEY WERE CHARGING $500, EVEN $200, WE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. I -- I BELIEVE THAT IT IS THE POLICE'S RESPONSIBILITY. WE PAY TAXES OR WHATEVER TO HELP US OUT. I MEAN, LIKE RIGHT NOW, PEOPLE ARE STILL PULLING DOORS. WE ARE JUST LETTING IT GO.
WE DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO PAY $3400.
IF WE CAN'T WAIVE THEM, IF WE CAN REDUCE THEM, WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO PAY YOU MONTHLY TO GET IT DOWN.
RIGHT NOW WE CAN'T RELY ON THE COPS TO COME BECAUSE YOU WANT TO HIT US FOR $500 EVERY TIME. SO THAT IS AN ISSUE.
SORRY, MY VOICE. >> THAT'S OKAY.
>> I HAVE A COLD COMING ON. BUT ANYWAY, WE CAN NOT RELY ON THE POLICE AND THEY CHARGE $500 TO COME.
SO WHAT DO WE DO? >> I KIND OF WANT TO CORRECT SOMETHING. IF -- DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT SHOWS IT ON ANY OF THESE DATES THERE WAS SOMEBODY THAT WAS ACTUALLY PULLING ON YOUR DOORS TRYING TO GET IN?
>> PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO COME IN.
STILL DO IT. TRYING TO GET IN.
WHAT HAPPENS IS, THEY CALL US. AND TRUST ME, IF I KNOWN THE COPS WOULD CHARGE US $500 TO COME OUT THERE.
WHATEVER. AMOUNT TO THAT THAT NECK COME OUT OF THERE WITH. BUT WE WERE JUST -- ME PERSONALLY WAS NOT AWARE THAT WE WOULD BE HIT WITH THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR THE COPS TO COME CHECK IT OUT.
>> HERE IS MY POINT. THESE ARE FOR FALSE ALARMS. MEANING YOUR ALARM IS MALFUNCTIONING.
>> NEVER ONE TIME THEY SAID FALSE ALARMS. THEY SAY SOMEONE PULLED ON THE DOOR OR THE FRONT DOOR -- THERE IS ACTIVITY. NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ALARM.
WE CALL EVERY TIME THEY HAVE GONE OUT THERE.
THEY SAY -- WE GET A CALL TO SAY SOMEONE IS TRYING TO GET IN.
SOMETHING IS GOING ON. NOT FALSE ALARM.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM.
>> OKAY. GIVE ME ONE SECOND, PLEASE.
>> IN A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION, I MAY HAVE ASKED YOU THE FIRST TIME I SPOKE WITH YOU THE FIRST TIME YOU WERE HERE, DO YOU HAVE ANY CAMERAS OR ANYTHING THAT SHOW ANY OF THE DOORS WHERE YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET VIDEO OF SOMEONE BREAKING IN --
>> WHATEVER IS BEING DONE IS BEING MONITORED BY THE ALARM COMPANY. THEY CALL.
WE DON'T CALL. THEY CALL US AND SAY SOMEONE -- ACTIVITY AT THE DOOR, FRONT DOOR.
SOMEBODY IS PULLING THE DOORS OR WHATEVER.
THEY ARE DOING IT STILL. >> TWO OF THESE ARE -- WERE ACTUALLY INTERIOR MOTION SENSORS THAT ARE GOING OFF.
AND I MEAN, WE HAVE THE MAIN ENTRY DOOR AND THE OTHER ENTRANCE DOORS. THE BEST I CAN RECOMMEND -- YOU KNOW, I AM REALLY NOT IN A POSITION TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION BUT I WILL DO IT ANYMORE.
IF YOU INSTALL. THEY HAVE RING DOOR CAMERAS AND RING DOORBELLS, UTILIZE LIKE THAT.
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SAY LOOK, NOT A FALSE ALARM.
RING DOORBELL. VIDEO OF SOMEBODY OPENING THE DOORS. AND YOU WOULDN'T GET A CAUSE.
>> OUT OF ALL OF THESE TWO THAT SHOW AS MOTION THAT TELLS YOU THAT THE REST OF ALL OF THESE ARE PEOPLE TRYING TO GET IN THE
BUILDING. >> BUT WE CAN'T SAY THAT OR SOMEONE WHO UNLOCKEDED THE DOOR AND FORGOT TO --
>> SAYING MOTION. YOU HAVE TWO OF THEM -- THAT MEANS SOMETHING -- SOME ACTIVITY OUTSIDE.
I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE GOT IN BY THERE.
I AM NOT SURE. I GET ALARM CALLS ALL TIMES OF NIGHT. SO NOW WE JUST TELL THEM JUST
LEAVE IT. >> I WOULD RECOMMEND GETTING ONE OF THOSE RING ALARM DOORBELLS. SOMEWHERE THAT YOU CAN SEE AND A VIDEO RECORDING. IF YOU WERE TO GET A NOTICE FROM THE ALARM COMPANY, YOU CAN CONTACT US AND SHOW US A VIDEO.
SOMEONE PULLING ON THE DOOR AND YOU WOULDN'T GET A CHARGE.
>> THEY ALWAYS DO. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, IF I CAN JUST READ INTO THE RECORD UNDER 1460, THE DEFINITION OF FALSE ALARM IS, THE ACTIVATION OF AN ALARM SYSTEM THROUGH MECHANICAL FAILURE AND MALFUNCTION OR THE NEGLIGENT OF THE OWNER OR LICENSEE OF THE ALARM SYSTEM OR HIS EMPLOYEES REQUIRING AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE WHEN IN FACT AN EMERGENCY DOES NOT EXIST OR THE ACTIVATION OF THE ALARM, WHETHER INTENTIONAL OR UNINTENTIONAL. SO WE ARE NOT CHARGING PEOPLE FOR ALARMS WHERE SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO BREAK INTO THEIR BUILDING. BUT IF THE POLICE RESPOND AND THERE IS NO ONE THERE, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT SOMEONE IS
[01:05:03]
ATTEMPTED TO BREAK IN, AND EVERYTHING LOOKS THAT IT IS A FAILURE ON THE ALARM, THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE FOR A FALSE ALARM. SO WE ARE NOT TRYING TO DISSCOURGE HER IF SHE BELIEVES SOMEONE IS BREAKING INTO HER HOUSE TO -- NOT YOUR HOUSE, BUT THE BUSINESS.WE WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO CALL, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER
OF THESE -- AND -- >> GO AHEAD.
I DON'T MEAN TO INTERJECT. I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOUR POINT. THEY ARE STILL PULLING THE DOORS. THE ALARM COMPANY JUST CALLING.
WE TELL THEM DISREGARD. A LOT OF PEOPLE WALK ON THE STREET AND THEY ARE DOING IT -- I HAD SOME OTHERS SINCE THEN.
I AM SURPRISED YOU DON'T HAVE MORE.
THE FACT IS WE DON'T CALL THE COPS ANYMORE.
LET IT GO. NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM.
NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ALARM. PEOPLE PULLING THE DOORS.
THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING. AND I THINK -- THAT'S IT.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: IS THERE A NOTE -- SEEMS TO ME THAT -- THERE IS STILL GOING TO BE A PROBLEM.
I KNOW. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: A NOTICE
ON THE DOOR THAT SAYS -- >> PEOPLE WITH DRUGS, DOING DIFFERENT THINGS. SOMETIMES THEY ARE IN THE PARKING LOT. IT IS THE AREA -- THE LOCATION.
THIS IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE. WE DECIDED -- $500, JUST LET IT GO. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ANYTHING WORTH -- YOU KNOW, OF THAT MUCH THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY PULL OUT. SO WE ARE JUST NOT GOING TO
CALL. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, TO CLARIFY. STAFF HAD THIS CONVERSATION REGARDING PROVIDING VIDEO OR SOME SORT OF PROOF THESE WERE LEGITIMATE ALARM RESPONSES. AND NOTHING HAS BEEN PROVIDED OTHER THAN THE PROPOSITION AND THE ASSUMPTION THAT SOMEBODY IS PULLING THE DOORS. SO IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT EXISTS THAT SHOWS THIS, STAFF WILL BE HAPPY TO REVIEW.
BUT AT THIS POINT, THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE IS THAT
IT -- THESE ARE FALSE. >> LET ME INTERJECT.
YOU HAVE TWO MOTION DETECTORS. THE OTHER ONE SAYS CLEAR, SIDE DOOR NORTH, SIDE DOOR NORTH, ENTRANCE DOOR.
YOU HAVE IT THERE. LIKE I SAID, THERE IS NO -- NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ALARM SYSTEM.
IT WORKS. >> BUT, MA'AM, THIS IS JUST A REPORT THAT IS COMING IN FROM THE ALARM COMPANY WHAT ALARM IS
GOING OFF. >> THAT IS WHAT I AM SAYING.
>> IT DOESN'T SAY THAT SOMEONE PULLED ON THE DOOR.
THAT'S ALL. I AM TELLING YOU WHAT HAPPENED.
WE ARE HERE TO SAY IF YOU CAN'T HELP US OUT WITH THIS.
WE WOULD APPRECIATE IT, BUT NOT USING THE COPS ANYMORE AT $500 A POP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT -- WE ARE HERE TO SAY WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY THIS.
NOT OUR FAULT THAT PEOPLE ARE PULLING THE DOORS.
NOT OUR FAULT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO RESOLVE IT -- JUST NOT TO -- TO DO ANYTHING
-- YOU KNOW, LET IT GO. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: DOES THE
CITY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? >> NO, MA'AM.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I AM GOING TO REDUCE IT TO $1500.
BECAUSE I DO THINK -- I AGREE, IT DID HAPPEN.
AND YOU DIDN'T PROVIDE THE PROOF.
AND THAT IS CONSIDERABLY DOWN -- FROM THAT AMOUNT.
>> I APPRECIATE THAT. I HOPE HE CAN HAVE SOME TIME TO
MAKE MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON THAT. >> WE WOULD ASK FOR SIX MONTHS TO PAY. YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENTS. THEY WILL ACCEPT PARTIAL PAYMENTS, BUT YOU JUST WITHIN -- WITNESS THE SIX MONTHS.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WITHIN THE SIX MONTHS.
THANK YOU. >> JUST TO CLEAR THINGS UP.
YOU WILL GET -- WE WILL SEND THIS TO CRY WOLF AND THEY WILL SEND YOU A NOTICE. THE COMMUNICATION ALSO GO THROUGH CRY WOLF. YOU WILL GET SOMETHING IN THE
MAIL FROM THEM. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THANK YOU.
