BUT IF Y'ALL WOULD HAVE SHOWN ME THE PICTURES, A LOT OF STUFF WOULD'VE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF A LONG TIME AGO. >> HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU DO IT NOW? >> I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO FILE FOR A GRANT. I WOULD NEED MORE TIME. I WOULD SAY MAYBE AT LEAST SIX MONTHS. I WOULD LIKE TO PAINT THE WHOLE BUILDING OVER. I DON'T WANT TO TOUCH IT UP. WANT TO PAINT THE WHOLE BUILDING OVER. >> IS CLASSED AS A REPEAT VIOLATION AND WE ARE BRINGING IT FORWARD AS A REQUESTING A FINE FOR EACH DAY THAT THE VIOLATION CONTINUES TO EXIST UNTIL HE BRINGS IT INTO COMPLIANCE. SO UNLESS YOU HAVE DETERMINED IT IS NOT A REPEAT VIOLATION, AND CHOOSE TO FIND A NEW AND SEPARATE VIOLATION AND GIVE HIM TIME TO FIX THE NEW AND SEPARATE VIOLATION. >> WHAT VIOLATION DO I HAVE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE SOME OF THE THINGS I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT. >> WELL, IF THE CITY IS OKAY WITH SAYING THAT SINCE HE WASN'T AWARE OF THE NEW VIOLATION, WE CAN SAY THAT HE HAS TIME. HE HAS 30 DAYS TO COMPLY WITH THAT. WITH THE REMOVAL OF THE SIGNS AND THE PROTECTIVE TREATMENT, WOULD THAT DESCRIBE WHAT HE HAS TO DO AT THIS POINT? >> DID YOU WANT ME TO TOUCH UP THE BUILDING FOR NOW? >> IT IS REPAIRING THE SIGNS, MA'AM, WHERE THE LETTERS ARE PEELING AND ONE IS FALLING OVER. YOU ALSO HAVE THE CAR WASH SIGNAGE WHERE THE SIGNS ARE KIND OF BROKEN AND THE SAME SO THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE BUILDING DOES NEED TO BE PAINTED WHERE IT IS PEELING, DISCOLORING. ANY AREAS ON THE AREAS WHERE IT IS -- ANY AREAS ON THE PROPERTY WHERE IT IS PEELING, DISCOLORING, AND RESTING. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THE PREVIOUS VIOLATION WAS FOUND TO BE IN COMPLIANCE BY THE ORDER OF SPECIAL MAGISTRATE OF FRIEND ROSS ON OCTOBER 11TH , 2023. THIS ORDER DETERMINING COMPLIANCE WAS MAILED TO THE RESPONDENT AND THE PREVIOUS VIOLATION WAS PROTECTIVE TREATMENT AND REMOVAL OF SIGNS. SAME TO CODE SECTIONS. THE SECOND PARAGRAPH OF THIS ORDER SAYS THAT THE VIOLATOR SHALL BE PUT ON NOTICE THAT IF THE PROPERTY COMES OUT OF COMPLIANCE, HE OR SHE MAY BE FINED UP TO $500 A DAY AS A REPEAT VIOLATOR. AND THE PROPERTY HAS COME OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH REGARD TO THOSE TWO SPECIFIC CODE SECTIONS, WHICH IS WHY IT IS BEING BROUGHT AS A REPEAT VIOLATION, BUT YOU DO HAVE THE DISCRETION TO SET THE DAILY FINE. UP TO A MAXIMUM NOT TO EXCEED $500 PER DAY. OR YOU HAVE THE DISCRETION TO MAKE YOUR DECISION THAT IT IS NOT A REPEAT VIOLATION. >> I AM GOING TO FIND THAT IT [00:50:02] IS NOT A REPEAT VIOLATION BECAUSE I WOULD RATHER GIVE HIM THE TIME AND SPEND THE MONEY ON FIXING IT THEN FINDING IT. BUT HOW MUCH TIME -- >> I GUESS 60 DAYS SHOULD BE FINE. >> YOU SAID 30 DAYS? THE NEXT 60 DAYS. >> I WILL GET IT TAKEN CARE OF. >> 60 DAYS? >> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE. I NEED TO GET RID OF THE DRIVE-THROUGH SIGN, TOUCH UP THE PAINT, AND GET THE DOWN SOUTH LIQUOR FIXED WITH THE SIGNAGE. >> I BELIEVE HE IS REQUESTING 60 DAYS, WHICH WOULD BE SEPTEMBER 15TH, CORRECT? >> CORRECT. DOES THE CITY AGREED TO THAT? >> IF THAT IS YOUR ORDER THAT IS YOUR ORDER. >> WE WOULD SAY ON OR BEFORE SEPTEMBER 15. >> MR. DIXON, YOU HAVE BEEN HERE ALL MORNING AND YOU KNOW YOU NEED MORE TIME, YOU NEED TO CONTACT YOUR CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AND ONCE THE PROPERTY IS BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE, YOU ALSO HAVE TO CONTACT HER TO COME OUT AND DO AN INSPECTION? >> OKAY. THANK YOU. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, IF IT IS NOT COMPLIED, WHAT IS THE FINE? >> IF HE IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE IN THE 60 DAYS, I WOULD SAY IT WOULD REVERT TO $250 PER DAY. >> DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

SUBSECTION NUMBER ONE AND FIVE FOR OUTSIDE STORAGE AND SECTION 24 - 19, MAINTENANCE OF NUISANCE ON PROPERTY PROHIBITED. AS A CONDITION. ON DECEMBER 1ST OF 2021, THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE PELLETIER FOUND THAT THE OWNER WAS IN VIOLATION AND PROVIDED 10 DAYS TO COMPLY OR BE FINED $150 PER DAY DAILY OR PER DAY. JANUARY 4TH OF 2022, AND AFFIDAVITS OF NONCOMPLIANCE ISSUED AND THE FINES INITIATED. JANUARY 11TH OF 2022, A LETTER WAS SENT OUT. MARCH 18TH OF 2022, ON ORDER ASSESSING FINES AND OPPOSING LIEN REPORTED TO THE OWNER. OCTOBER OF 23RD OF MAY 23, NOTICE OF INTENT TO FORECLOSE WAS SENT OUT TO THE OWNER BY REGULAR MAIL. JANUARY 17TH OF THIS YEAR, A COPY OF NOTICE TO THE FORECLOSURE WAS DELIVERED BY PROCESS SERVER TO THE OWNER. APRIL 9TH OF 2024, THE PROPERTY WAS IN COMPLIANCE AND ON JUNE 1ST OF 2024, WE DID RECEIVE A REQUEST FOR A REDUCTION. THERE IS A BALANCE DUE OF 124 THOUSAND $994. $124,994. DO I HAVE TO? >> WE CAN GET TO THAT SECTION IN A MOMENT. SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, WITH REGARD TO THIS CASE, I DO HAVE A COPY OF THE ORDER DETERMINING VIOLATION [01:10:03] ALONG WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT WERE PLACED INTO EVIDENCE AT THE HEARING AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU TO TAKE JUDICIAL NOTICE OF THAT. >> I TAKE JUDICIAL NOTICE OF THE PACKET THAT WAS JUST INTRODUCED BY THE CITY . CONSISTING OF THE ORDER DETERMINING VIOLATION IN THE PACKET OF PHOTOS. OKAY. THANK YOU. >> XIANG LIN, THIS WAS YOUR CASE INITIALLY, IS THAT CORRECT? >> THIS WAS INITIALLY MY CASE, CORRECT. >> AND IT IS STILL YOUR CASE? >> SEEMS LIKE IT. YES. >> THE PARTY REQUESTING A LEAN PRODUCTION IS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY. IS THAT THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADDITIONAL ORIGINAL VIOLATION? >> I AM SORRY. REPEAT THAT AGAIN? THE PARTY REQUESTING A LEAN PRODUCTION IS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY? >> YES. >> AND IS HE THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ORIGINAL VIOLATION THAT RESULTED IN THE LIEN? >> YES. >> ALL RIGHT. ARE THERE ANY CODE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS ON THIS PROPERTY OR ANY OTHER PROPERTY UNDER COMMON OWNERSHIP AT THIS TIME? >> NO. >> ALL RIGHT. >> AND ACCORDING TO DEPARTMENT RECORDS, THE TYPE AND NUMBER OF LIEN REDUCTIONS GRANTED FOR THIS PROPERTY, OR ANY OTHER PROPERTY UNDER COMMON OWNERSHIP WITHIN THE PAST 24 MONTHS RECORDING TO DEPARTMENT RECORDS, IS THAT NONE? >> CORRECT. >> ALL RIGHT. AND WOULD YOU LIKE TO PRESENT TO THE ADMINISTERED OF COSTS THAT THE CITY HAS OCCURRED IN THIS MANNER? >> YOU WANT ME TO READ SECTION BY SECTION, RIGHT? >> WE CAN PUT UP THE SCREEN . CAN YOU CONFIRM THAT THESE ARE THE COSTS THAT THE CITY HAS INCURRED ? >> CORRECT. >> THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS? >> YES. >> TOTALING $1087? >> IT IS CORRECT. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. >> DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER? >> NOT FROM ME. NOT AT THIS POINT. >> ALL RIGHT. >> LET ME JUST GO THROUGH THE 162.09 CRITERIA. HOW WOULD YOU CLASSIFY THE GRAVITY OF THIS VIOLATION? >> MINOR. >> OKAY. WHAT ACTIONS WERE TAKEN BY THE VIOLATOR BEFORE IT CAME INTO COMPLETE COMPLIANCE? >> SO, THEY ENDED UP GOING INTO FULL DETAILS OR -- THEY ENDED UP PRESSURE WASHING , PAINTING THE BUILDING. SO THERE ARE CERTAIN AREAS IN THE BACK OF THE RESTAURANT WHERE THERE WERE SOME STAINING . THAT IS WHAT PRETTY MUCH BROUGHT THE PROPERTY INTO FULLY COMPLIANCE IS JUST DOING SOME DEEP PRESSURE WASHING AND MAKING SURE THAT NO GREASE STAINS OR LARGE AMOUNT OF OUTSIDE STORAGE WAS LOCATED AT THE PROPERTY. >> LARGE AMOUNT OF OUTSIDE STORAGE? >> AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROPERTY WHEN THE CASE WAS INITIATED. THERE WERE LARGE AMOUNTS OF LET'S JUST SAY RESTAURANT FOOD BOXES . JUST MISCELLANEOUS CARDS AND WHATNOT . ONCE THE PROPERTY WAS IN COMPLIANCE, THERE WAS LIKE I SAID, THEY FULLY PRESSURE WASHED, REMOVED EVERYTHING THAT NEEDED TO BE REMOVED AND ADJOURNED THE PROCESS. FIXED SOME MINOR ISSUES THROUGHOUT THE TERM. >> AND THE PROPERTY CAME INTO FULL COMPLIANCE AFTER HOW MANY MONTHS? >> CASE INITIATED ON SEPTEMBER 13TH OF 2021 AND IT WAS FULLY IN COMPLIANCE ON APRIL 9TH OF 2024. I CAN TELL YOU THAT FROM THAT PERIOD OF TIME FROM THE MOMENT IT WAS FULLY OPEN TO THE MOMENT IT WAS IN COMPLIANCE, IT SEEMED LIKE THERE HAD BEEN SOME SORT OF MISCOMMUNICATION BETWEEN TENANT AND OWNERSHIP . I WENT OUT THERE SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE TENANTS DIDN'T MENTION THAT THEY WERE IN COMPLIANCE . ONCE OR TWICE I WENT OUT THERE AND THE PROPERTY STILL REMAINED TO BE NOT FULLY COMPLIED. THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SOME MISUNDERSTANDING IN THE SENSE THAT MAYBE THEY WEREN'T FULLY AWARE OF THE VIOLATIONS OR CITY CODES AND WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE TO BE BROUGHT INTO FULLY COMPLIANCE. BUT I ALSO BELIEVE OR IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN, IT TOOK A WHILE. I BELIEVE THE [01:15:08] OWNERS WERE NOT AWARE THAT THE VIOLATIONS EXISTED AT THE PROPERTY. >> SO, ARE YOU SAYING YOUR ORAL COMMUNICATIONS WERE WITH THE TENANT? >> CORRECT. INITIALLY. INITIALLY. AND THEN, I BELIEVE I SPOKE WITH THE DAUGHTER OF THE OWNER. I AM NOT SURE IF SHE IS THE SAME -- YES. >> YES. >> WHERE WAS NOT THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION MAILED? WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO THE TENANT OR THE OWNER OR BOTH? >> BOTH. WE ENDED UP SENDING A NOTICE TO 1850 SOUTH U.S. FIFTH ONE WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVE AND THAT COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER'S OFFICE AND WE ALSO SENT ONE TO THE OWNER WHICH IS FORTINO WINE DELAWARE AVENUE. TO THE TENANT. I'M SORRY. YOU'RE IN FORT PIERCE. >> THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION HEARING , THE ORDER DETERMINING VIOLATION, THE ORDER ASSESSING FINE, OPPOSING LIENS, WHERE WOULD ALL THOSE BEEN MAILED? WHERE WERE THOSE DOCUMENTS MAILED? TO THE OWNER HIMSELF? >> TO THE OWNER AND ALSO TO THE TENANT. I MEAN, WE TYPICALLY SEND NOTICES TO BOTH. >> YOU VERBALLY SPOKE TO THE TENANT BUT I'M TRYING TO CONFIRM THESE WERE SENT TO THE OWNER. >> CORRECT. >> ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING FURTHER? >> NO. NOT FROM ME. NO. >> I AM SORRY, MISS LIN? >> YES. LIN. >> YOU HAVE POWER OF ATTORNEY TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE OWNER AND YOUR BROTHER OR HIS SON IS ALSO HERE. YOU'RE HIS SON, IS THAT CORRECT? >> YES, MA'AM. >> WE WILL START WITH THE LADY ON THE PHONE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CURRENT. >> YES. HI. MY NAME IS MARY LIN. I AM THE DAUGHTER OF THE PROPERTY OWNER. I HAVE BEEN THE ONE THAT IS BEEN THE MIDDLEMAN IN HANDLING THIS CASE. SO, I KNOW LIKE APPARENTLY THE CASE WAS FOUNDED BACK IN 2021 BUT I MYSELF AND THE TENANTS WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS ISSUE UNTIL JANUARY 17, 2024, WHEN WE RECEIVED I THINK IT WAS LIKE A SERVER THAT CAME OUT. SO, SINCE THAT TIME, THAT IS WHEN WE BECAME AWARE THAT THERE WAS EVEN AN VIOLATION ON THE BUILDING AND THAT WE TOOK IMMEDIATE ACTION TO PUT THAT CORRECTED. SO, WITHIN THE THREE MONTHS OF BEING AWARE OF THE SITUATION, WE CONTACTED THE VIOLATION OFFICER. MR. SAUCEDO , AND WE ALSO REACHED OUT TO OUR TENANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CORRECTED ACTIONS WERE TAKEN INTO PLACE AND THAT WE ALSO MADE SURE TO GO OUT TO THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S OFFICE TO UPDATE THE MAILING ADDRESS, ALTHOUGH THE PREVIOUS MAILING ADDRESS WE WOULD HAVE RECEIVED NOTICES ANYWAY. IT IS JUST THAT WE UPDATED TO AN ADDRESS THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO RECEIVE NOTICES IN A MORE PROMPT MANNER. HOWEVER, IN THIS 2 TO 3 YEAR TIME SPAN, NEITHER MY TENANTS OR MYSELF WERE AWARE OF THE SITUATION SO I AM NOT REALLY SURE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE NOTICES. IF THEY WERE DELIVERED PROPERTY OR NOTICES WERE SENT OUT. SO, IN TERMS OF THAT, I AM NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED WHERE THE MIST COMMUNICATION CAME INTO PLACE. AND THEN, WHEN I BECAME AWARE OF THE SITUATION, I THINK THE NOTICE ITSELF IS ALSO LIKE A BIT UNCLEAR IN TERMS OF WHAT THE VIOLATION DETAILS ARE. SO, I DID REACH OUT TO ISAAC TO GET A MORE CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT KIND OF MEASURES THAT WE NEED TO TAKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COME INTO COMPLIANCE. AND I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE INITIAL VIOLATION WAS IN 2021. THE CONDITIONS OF THE PROPERTY HAVE CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY OVER TIME SO I AM NOT SURE IF WHAT HAPPENED INITIALLY , THAT PUT US IN NONCOMPLIANCE STILL STANDS TODAY. BUT WHATEVER NONCOMPLIANCE ISSUES THAT IS STILL PRESENT AT THIS -- IN TODAY'S TIME, WE DID MAKE SURE TO CORRECT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOW FULLY IN COMPLIANCE. SO. YEAH. THAT IS ALL I HAVE AND I JUST WANT TO SAY GIVEN THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED FOR US AND FOR A VIOLATION TO GO UNANSWERED THIS LONG, I AM SURE YOU GUYS CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT DOING IT PRESS WAS FULLY PURPOSEFULLY , SO I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO ASK FOR A REDUCED LIEN BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SMALL SIGN THAT WE HAVE AT THE MOMENT. >> MR. ISAAC . >> YES. [01:20:06] >> HE MENTIONED THAT HE SENT OUT THE LETTER TO EIGHT AND 50 U.S. HIGHWAY 1. IT IS MY DAD'S ADDRESS. THAT USED TO BE MY DAD'S WORKING PLACE. USED WORKED THERE FOR 10 TO 20 YEARS BUT HE INHALED TOO MUCH SMOKE AND COULDN'T WORK ANYMORE. SO ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO, HE DIDN'T WORK THERE ANYMORE. HE WASN'T EVEN THERE. 2018, HE WAS DONE WORKING THERE. SO YOU WERE SAYING THE FIRST LETTER WAS SENT OUT IN 2021, SIR. BY REGULAR MAIL, HE NEVER RECEIVED IT. SO THE FIRST ONE HE NEVER RECEIVED IT WASN'T THE CERTIFIED MAIL WHICH WAS GIVEN TO THE OWNER OF THE RESTAURANT AND THEN HE FOUND A WAY TO FORWARD IT TO MY DAD. THAT IS WHAT WE NOTICED, OH, WE HAVE THIS VIOLATION THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE IN COMPLIANT WITH. AND I SPOKE WITH MR. CRAWFORD WHO WAS THE OWNER OF THE RESTAURANT. HE IS OPERATING THE RESTAURANT AND I THINK WITHIN A WEEK, HE JUST TOOK OUT WHATEVER THAT WE NEEDED TO GET DONE. I THINK MOSTLY HE TOLD ME IT WAS THE WASTE COOKING OIL WAS SOMETHING YOU SAID SOMETHING IS A PROTECTED ELEMENT. BUT IT WAS USED COOKING OIL. WHEN THE RECYCLING COMPANY CAME BY WITH THE TRUCK AND DRAINED OUT THE USED COOKING OIL, IT MIGHT SPILL ON THE GROUND AND WE DID AMENDING THIS ON THEM. IT MIGHT BE HAPPENING. SO THAT IS ALL. >> CAN I SAY SOMETHING? >> SO, IF YOUR FATHER IS NO LONGER WORKING AT THIS LOCATION, I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU TO GO TO THE ST. LUCIE COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER'S OFFICE. >> WE HAVE DONE THAT. >> >> AS SOON AS WE FOUND OUT THIS MISCOMMUNICATION ISSUE , WE HAVE DONE THAT . >> I HAVE AN EMAIL RECORD THAT I EMAILED THEM THE DAY OF OR THE NEXT DAY. YEAH. >> OKAY. >> SO, FROM 2018 , YOUR FATHER, THE PROPERTY OWNER DID NOT RECEIVE MAIL AT 1850 SOUTH U.S. HIGHWAY 32960? >> HE WORKS THERE. HE MAY BE ABLE TO RECEIVE IT BECAUSE WHEN THEY SEE HIS NAME THEM I GIVE IT TO HIM IN 2018, HAVE A NEW OWNER AND MY DAD DON'T WORK THERE ANYMORE. SINCE 2018. >> SO, FROM 2018 , IT HAS BEEN HIS ADDRESS ACCORDING TO THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S OFFICE. WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH HIS TAX NOTICES? HOW IS HE GETTING HIS MAIL? IT IS ALL GOING TO THE RESTAURANT? >> YEAH. SO HE IS STILL IN CONTACT WITH THEM. SO HE IS ABLE TO GET NOTICES EVERY NOW AND THEN, BUT IT IS NOT I GUESS PROMPT. EITHER WAY, HE WAS ABLE TO RECEIVE LETTERS IN REGARDS TO OTHER MATTERS BEFORE THIS MATTER. FOR SOME REASON, WE DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY OF THE NOTICES. >> AND IS IT YOUR TESTIMONY THAT YOU DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICE UNTIL YOUR FATHER WAS SERVED BY A PROCESS SERVER IN JANUARY OF 2024? IS THAT CORRECT? >> YES. I DID NOT PERSONALLY RECEIVE ANYTHING OR BECAME AWARE OF THIS ISSUE UNTIL JANUARY 17TH, 2024. >> MY QUESTION IS, WHEN DID YOUR FATHER -- WHEN DID THE FAMILY BECOME AWARE OF THIS ISSUE? WHEN HE WAS SERVED BY A PROCESS SERVER IN 2024? >> CORRECT. THAT IS WHEN THE WHOLE FAMILY BECAME AWARE OF THE ISSUE. >> AND FROM THAT DATE, IT TOOK YOU TWO PLUS MONTHS TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE? 60 PLUS DAYS? >> YES. THAT IS CORRECT. WITHIN THAT WEEK , I REACHED OUT TO THE VIOLATION OFFICER, ISAAC SAUCEDO , BUT I THINK HE IS BUSY BECAUSE HE WORKS ON THE FIELD. I LEFT A FEW VOICEMAILS AND I EVENTUALLY GOT IN TOUCH WITH HIM TO GET A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF EXACTLY WHAT THE VIOLATION WAS. AFTER I GOT A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THAT, I REACHED OUT TO THE TENANT THAT WAS THERE TO HAVE THAT CORRECTED. SO, I BELIEVE IT REQUIRED TWO PRESSURE WASHERS IN BETWEEN. SO IT TOOK A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA TIME AND WE ALSO HAD A FUNERAL AT THAT TIME WHERE MY GRANDMA PASSED AWAY SO I HAD TO GO TO CHINA FOR TWO WEEKS IN THE MEANTIME, BUT ONCE I CAME BACK, I DID FOLLOW-UP WITH THE VIOLATION OFFICER AND SO, YES. THE WHOLE TIMEFRAME, IT WAS ABOUT TO EACH MONTH TO CORRECT. [01:25:01] >> JUST FOR THE RECORD, SHE WAS IN ACTIVE COMMUNICATION WITH ME. ALSO, TWO MONTHS MIGHT SEEM A LITTLE LONG, BUT IN REALITY, IT WAS THE TENANT SAYING IT WAS IN COMPLIANCE FALLING IT WAS FULLY COMPLIED, ME GOING OUT AND DOING AN INSPECTION AND SAYING, YOU DID SOME WORK, BUT WE STILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE WORK TO DO. IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT, IN REALITY, IT WASN'T THAT MUCH JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE ACTIVELY WORKING ON IT. >> WORKING ON IT. >> CORRECT. >> WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO THROUGH THE CRITERIA? >> YEAH. >> THE REQUESTING PARTY IS THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ORIGINAL VIOLATION? YES. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS SOME COMMUNICATION I UNDERSTAND ISSUES. WHETHER THE REQUESTING PARTY HAS ESTABLISHED THE EXISTENCE OF EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT PREVENTED TIMELY COMPLIANCE, THE TESTIMONY THAT I HEARD, AS FAR AS EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCE, I BELIEVE WAS THAT MISCOMMUNICATION AND PROBABLY LACK OF NOTICE DUE TO THE DIFFERENT ADDRESSES AND POSSIBLY MISUNDERSTANDINGS. WHETHER THERE IS A CURRENT CODE ENFORCEMENT ACTION ON THE PROPERTY NONE ON RECORD, CORRECT? TYPE THE NUMBER OF LIEN REDUCTIONS GRANTED FOR THIS PROPERTY IN THE PAST 24 MONTHS, NONE. THE GRANTING OF PRODUCTION IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CITY? >> OKAY. DOES THE CITY HAVE A RECOMMENDATION ? >> NO. >> THE CITY'S ADMINISTERED OF COSTS ARE 1780. THE MAXIMUM THE CITY CAN REDUCE WITHOUT BRINGING THIS TO A HEARING IS $10,000 ON THIS PROPERTY AND THE RESPONDENT CHOSE TO GO FORWARD WITH THE HEARING. >> I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE $1780.76 BE PAYABLE, WHICH IS THE LOWEST -- IT IS STRICTLY THE ADMINISTERING OF COSTS OF THE CITY. >> YES, YOUR HONOR. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS MORE AFFORDABLE BECAUSE MR. CRAWFORD HERE AND HIS WIFE FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS HAVE NOT INCREASED RENT ON THEM FOR FIVE YEARS. WE CHARGE HIM LESS THAN HOUSE PAYMENT, WHICH IS ONLY 1800 OF THAT AMOUNT. IN FIVE YEARS WITH NO INCREASE IN RENT , WE WANT TO HELP THE LOCAL SMALL BUSINESSES AND WE HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR A LONG TIME. THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN BOTH AFFORD. FOR OVER 10,000. >> I AM SAYING 1780. >> >> >> I AM SORRY. ONE PERSON AT A TIME, PLEASE. >> I AM SORRY. I AM TELLING MY BROTHER TO LET YOU GUYS GO AHEAD AND DISCUSS TO REACH A FINAL DECISION. >> ALL RIGHT. THAT IS MY FINAL DECISION. $1780.76. >> OKAY. YES. WE ARE FINE WITH THAT. >> SPECIAL MAGISTER, WE WOULD ASK YOU TO GIVE A DEADLINE TO PAY THE AMOUNT. >> WE CAN DO IT WITHIN A WEEK. >> >> 30 DAYS ON OR BEFORE AUGUST 16TH. IS THAT IN ORDER? AND WE DO NEED TO ADDRESS THE REVERTER ISSUE. WE WOULD ASK THAT THE ORDER INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE. FAILURE TO PAY THE REDUCED AMOUNT IN THE TIME ORDERED WILL RESULT IN THE AMOUNT OF THE LIEN REVERTING TO THE AMOUNT PRESENTED FOR THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FOR REDUCTION. PLUS ANY INTEREST AND PENALTIES THAT ARE HELD IN ADVANCE AND INTEREST AND PENALTIES SHALL RESUME RECURRING. >> YOU WILL HAVE 30 DAYS TO PAY THE FULL AMOUNT. IF IT IS NOT PAID WITHIN THAT TIME, IT CAN REVERT TO THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT. SO, JUST MAKE SURE YOU DO THAT. >> OKAY. UNDERSTOOD. >> THE WRITTEN ORDER OF THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE IS GOING TO BE MAILED TO 712 CARRIAGE LAKEWAY VERO BEACH, FLORIDA. AS A COURTESY, WOULD YOU LIKE FOR IT TO GO ANYWHERE ELSE? >> NO. THE ADDRESS IS FINE, THANK YOU. >> THAT IS MY DAD'S CURRENT HOME ADDRESS. >> THAT IS WHERE THE WRITTEN [01:30:03] ORDER IS GOING TO GO. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MISS LIN. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. >> WE ARE ALL SET. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. HAVE A GREAT DAY. >> YOU TWO. >> OKAY.
