THIS IS FOR A FINE REDUCTION. THE VIOLATIN IS THE PERMIT REQUIRED AND IN THE INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE, 64 WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAZARDS. THIS CAME BEFORE THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE MAY 10, 2024. THE ORDER THAT A VIOLATION WAS ENTERED. AN AFFIDAVIT OF NONCOMPLIANCE WAS REPORTED NOVEMBER 26, 2024. AN AFFIDAVIT OF COMPLIANCE WAS RECORDED DECEMBER 11TH, 2024. THE FINES ACCRUED TO A TOTAL OF $1630 WITH $30 OF RECORDED FEES. THE STAFF HAS CALCULATED THE ADMINISTRATIVE COST TO BE $895.25. THE RESPONDENT HAS REQUESTED THAT THESE FINES BE COMPLETELY WAIVED. THEY HAVE PROVIDED A REQUEST STATING TO THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE AND THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO INDICATE THAT WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE AS OF DECEMBER 11TH, 2024 WITH A SPECIAL ORDER. THE FINES BE REVERSED AND THE REASON FOR THE VIOLATION WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE. WE FAILED TO CONDUCT A PLANNING TASK PLUMBING INSPECTION FOR THE WATER DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE WORKED IN A TIMELY MANNER TO REMEDY THESE AND OUR INTENTION WAS TO THIS CASE. WE STRIVE TO MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY THE BEST WAY WE CAN. WE TRY TO BE GOOD TO OUR NEIGHBORS. THANK YOU. THE RESPONDENT DID NOT PROVIDE ANY EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WARRANTED A WAIVER OF FINES. IT IS THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE REDUCE THE FINES FROM $1630 TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS WHICH AGAIN WAS $895.25. >> GOOD MORNING. THIS IS MY MOTHER MARTHA. THEY ARE THE OWNERS OF THE BUILDING. I BECAME AWARE THAT WE HAVE NOT CONDUCTED THAT LAST INSPECTION FOR PLUMBING AROUND THE END OF NOVEMBER. I WAS AMAZED THAT THE CITY WAS TRYING TO GET IN CONTACT WITH US REGARDING FROM THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER. SOMEHOW, WE MISSED THAT PIECE OF MALE THAT THE FINES WERE GOING TO START TAKING EFFECT UNTIL THE END OF NOVEMBER. AS SOON AS I BECAME AWARE, I WENT TO THE CITY AND I TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING WRONG. ONCE WE FIGURED OUT IT WAS ONE INSPECTION THAT FAILED TO BE CONDUCTED. WE TOOK THE RIGHT STEPS AND THE PLUMBER , CONTRACTOR REQUESTED FOR THE PERMIT TO BE OPEN AGAIN AND THE INSPECTION TOOK CASE. THIS IS A PRODUCT OF ANOTHER LARGER LIST THAT WE HAD ALL VIOLATIONS. WE TOOK CARE OF ALL OF THOSE. AROUND THE END OF THE SUMMER BEFORE THE FALL STARTED WE THOUGHT THAT WE WERE ALL SQUARE WITH EVERYTHING. LIKE I SAID, AROUND NOVEMBER WAS WHEN WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WERE MISSING ONE LAST PIECE. JUST LIKE THE FINES TO BE WAIVED BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN VERY COSTLY FOR US TO GET COMPLETED. LIKE I STATED IN THE DOCUMENTS , WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN REQUESTED OF US AND THIS WAS A MISTAKE. >> JUST SO YOU CAN SEE IT, THERE ARE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS FOR THE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE GONE OUT TO SEE THE VIOLATIONS AND TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS AND TESTIFIED IN THESE HEARINGS. THAT IS AT LEAST WHAT THESE ASK FOR WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR THIS SPECIAL MADE - SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FOR NO FINE. >> IT IS STILL THE CITY'S RECOMMENDATION AT LEAST FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEES . THIS IS WHAT WE DO FOR ALL CASES AND THAT IS $895.25. THERE WERE MONTHS IN WHICH THAT COULD BE [01:15:25] PAID IF IT IS ORDERED BY THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, IT IS NOT IMMEDIATE. >> I UNDERSTAND. MY MOTHER IS JUST TRYING TO COMMUNICATE , BESIDES THE COST THAT IT HAS TAKEN TO REMEDY THESE ISSUES. ONE OF THE TENANTS THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY LIVING IN ONE OF THE UNITS HAS SUED US . WE HAVE ALREADY PAID $2500 TO RESOLVE THAT AND NOW WE HAVE A SECOND LAWSUIT THAT IS SUING FOR MORE MONEY BETWEEN $30,000-$50,000. WE HAVE JUST PAID ANOTHER LAWYER $5000. THEY BASICALLY WANT THE CITY TO BE AWARE THAT WE ARE PAYING A LOT OF MONEY WHEN IT COMES TO THIS CASE. ONE LAST THING , HE IS USING DOCUMENTS FROM THE CITY TO BUILD UP THE LAWSUIT THEY ARE FILING AGAINST US. THE THING IS THAT THERE ARE THINGS IN THAT LIST OF VIOLATIONS THAT WERE NOT PERTAINING JUST TO UNIT C . THEY WERE INCLUDING IN APARTMENT Y AND WERE INCLUDED ON THE LIST FOR APARTMENT C TO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE REGARDING THAT. WE NEED TO SHOW THE LAWYERS WHENEVER IT COMES TO TIME TO RESOLVE THAT LEGAL ISSUE. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO DIFFERENTIATE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH APARTMENT C AND WHAT WAS INCLUDED IN APARTMENT Y. >> THAT IS A CONVERSATION WITH YOUR LAWYER THAT IS REPRESENTING YOU AS FAR AS THE LAWSUIT GOES. MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND SOME EVIDENCE COULD HAVE BEEN PRESENTED THAT WAS NOT PERTAINING TO THAT PARTICULAR APARTMENT. >> IS THERE ANYTHING THE CITY CAN DO TO REMEDY THAT? THAT IS AN ERROR THAT THE CITY MADE. >> I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT AN EARLIER HEARING. THAT IS A QUESTION WE WOULD HAVE OUTSIDE OF THIS HEARING. >> THIS LIST THAT WAS PREPARED BY THE CITY AND IT HAS NINE ITEMS. I CAN BRING IT OVER TO YOU. >> THE INITIAL VIOLATION FROM LAST YEAR? >> YES. THERE IS A WINDOW THAT WAS LISTED AS PART OF APARTMENT C THAT WAS IN APARTMENT Y >> I DO NOT NEED TO SEE THAT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW YOU'RE HERE FOR THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST. THAT IS A CONVERSATION THAT WE CAN HAVE LATER. AT LEAST FOR THE FINES, THE CITY'S POSITION AND UP TO THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE THAT YOU ARE REQUESTING THAT FINE TO BE DOWN TO ZERO. >> CORRECT. >> DEFINED TOTAL WAS $1630 . THE $895 THAT THE CITY IS REQUESTING IS JUST THE CITY'S COST IN PURSUING THIS CASE. THE FINE HAS BEEN REDUCED BY HALF SO I FIND THAT THE AMOUNT OF $895.25 IS STILL OWED AT THIS TIME BASED ON WHAT WAS PRESENTED. >> IF THAT IS ALL THAT CAN BE DONE, I GUESS WE WILL HAVE TO GO WITH THAT. >> THERE IS AN ISSUE OF HOW MUCH TIME YOU REQUEST TO MAKE DEBT PAYMENTS. >> YES, IF WE COULD HAVE A PAYMENTS PLAN, THAT WOULD BE BEST. >> SIX MONTHS ? >> SIX MONTHS IS FINE. >> MAKE SURE THAT IT IS DONE WITHIN THE SIX MONTHS BECAUSE IT COULD REVERT TO THE FULL AMOUNT. >> I UNDERSTAND. HOW WILL WE RECEIVE THAT INFORMATION? WILL WE GET A PIECE OF MALE ? [01:20:10] >> YOU WILL RECEIVE AN ORDER AND I CAN EMAIL IT TO YOU AS WELL. I HAVE BOTH OF YOUR EMAIL ADDRESSES. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. 16-1371 512 N [A. 16-1371 512 N 17th St Alvarez, Eliecer Shaun Coss] 17TH ST ALVAREZ, ELIECER DO YOU NEED AN INTERPRETER? >> NO, I AM GOOD. >> OKAY. >> THIS IS 16-1371 512 N 17TH ST ALVAREZ, ELIECER WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA 33407.

THE TYPE AND NUMBER OF LIENS REDUCTION FOR THIS PROPERTY OR ANY OTHER PROPERTY OF COMMON OWNERSHIP IN THE LAST 24 MONTHS.

NUMBER FIVE, IF GRANTING A REDUCTION IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CITY AND THAT IS TO BE DETERMINED BY THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE. THE RESPONDENT HAS PROVIDED A STATEMENT AND A REDUCTION REQUEST . INDICATING THAT WHEN I BOUGHT THIS PROPERTY I LEARNED THAT IT HAD TWO DIFFERENT LIENS. I PAID AND COMPLIED WITH THE FIRST AND THIS WOULD BE MY SECOND ONE AND FINAL ONE. I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A WEEK WAIVER ARE REDUCTION. THE FIRST I PAID IN FULL BUT AFTER THE REMODELING INCLUDING THE IMPACT WINDOWS, THE FLOOR, THE ROOF, THE TRANSFORMING A DETACHED INTO A SINGLE FAMILY HOME, MY FINANCES HAVE BEEN DEPLETED.

YES , LIKE HE SAID , THE PROPERTY WAS DESTROYED . I ALMOST PUT TWO BRAND-NEW HOUSES IN THERE. THAT IS EVERYTHING.

THEY BROUGHT IN A NEW ENGINEER BECAUSE THEY HAD CONCERNS WITH THE ENGINEERING REPORT. WE HAD A NEW ENGINEERING STUDY DONE . APPLICATIONS WERE SUBMITTED FOR THE PERMIT . I RECEIVED AN UPDATE TODAY THAT THE PERMIT AND APPLICATION OF THE PERMIT WAS PAID FOR. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF CONDITIONS THAT THE CITY HAD , AND SPECIAL FORCES IS IN THE PROCESS OF CURING TODAY. THIS WILL MOVE FORWARD , WE HAVE BEEN JUST TRYING TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF. WE JUST HAD A HARD TIME GETTING PEOPLE WHO WERE CERTIFIED TO DO THIS TYPE OF WORK TO COME OUT. WE ARE CONSIDERED A SMALL JOB TO THEM AND THEY WERE RUSHING TO GET THE BIGGER JOBS DONE BECAUSE THEY WERE TELLING US IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE 40 YEAR COMPLIANCE ISSUE. WE HAVE PAID SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS TO HAVE TWO ENGINEERS TO THE REPORT. OUR FIRST REPORT WENT FROM A $200,000 REPAIR , AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REDUCE IT SO WE DID NOT FEEL LIKE OUR FIRST ENGINEERING COMPANY REALLY LOOKED AT THE PROPERTY WITH TRUE INTEGRITY. THEY CHANGED THEIR PLAN. WE TOLD THEM WILL BE GETTING OTHER ESTIMATES. WE ARE REQUIRED TO ALSO GET SO MANY ESTIMATES TO PRESENT TO OUR MEMBERSHIP. WE [01:40:01] HAVE BEEN SEEKING FUNDING DURING THIS TIME. WE HAD MEMBERS AWARE OF THIS AND WE HAVE BEEN SEEKING FUNDING FROM THE BANK TO GET THE FUNDS. HALF OF OUR BUILDING IS PEOPLE WHO ARE ON SOCIAL SECURITY. THIS IS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY THEY HAVE TO COME UP WITH. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT NOT ONLY WE WERE DOING THIS APPROPRIATELY, AND BY THE LAW AND FOLLOWING ALL OF THE PERMITS AND REQUIREMENTS FROM THE STATE. BUT ALSO MAKING SURE THAT WE LOOKED IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE OWNERS AND THEIR FINANCIAL WELL-BEING. WE DO HAVE A PERMIT THAT WAS SUBMITTED. WE HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THESE ISSUES. >> THANK YOU. >> I BEEN ABLE TO VERIFY THAT THE PERMIT WAS APPLIED ON JANUARY 2ND . AND THE PERMIT WAS REJECTED FOR MISSING A COUPLE OF DOCUMENTS. AS THE RESPONDENT HAS INDICATED IN THE RECOMMENDATION FROM STAFF. WE POSTPONE THE IMPOSITION OF THE LIEN AND TO ALLOW FOR THE PERMIT ISSUANCE. HOWEVER, THE FINES CONTINUE TO ACCRUE IN THE VIOLATION IS STILL OUTGOING INTO THE PERMIT HAS BEEN ISSUED AND THE REPAIR HAS BEEN MADE IN THE FINAL INSPECTIONS ARE COMPLETED. ONCE THE CASES ARE BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE, THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO COME BACK FOR A FINE REDUCTION. BUT THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION OF THE FINES CONTINUE TO ACCRUE. WE WILL NOT IMPOSE A LIEN AT THIS TIME. >> MAY I ASK A QUESTION? >> SURE. >> IF I AM UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY, THE FINES WILL ACCRUE WHILE WE ARE FINISHING UP THE PROJECT BUT I CAN COME BACK AND ASK FOR A REDUCTION ON THE FINES? >> YES, THAT IS CORRECT. THE IMPOSITION OF A LIEN COULD POTENTIALLY CAUGHT - CAUSE HARDSHIPS TO YOUR OWNERS. IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE RESIDENCES, I AM UNABLE TO NOT IMPOSE A LIEN AS LONG AS MOVING FORWARD, THE MOTION IS CARRIED OUT TO BRING THIS CASE INTO COMPLIANCE. THE FINES WILL CONTINUE TO ACCRUE WILL SUBSTANTIATE THAT THERE IS GOOD REASON FOR THE BOARD TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS CASE TO BE BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE. >> I UNDERSTAND. WE HAVE WOULD DO THAT AND WE HAVE ALREADY PAID -- JUST SO WE ARE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE ARE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. WE HAVE ALREADY PUT DOWN DEPOSITS AND WE HAVE ALLOCATED $20,000 TOWARDS THIS REPAIR WITH AN ENGINE REPORTS AND DOWNPAYMENTS. IT IS OUR INTENTION TO HAVE THIS COMPLETE. WE HAVE JUST BEEN STUCK WITH PEOPLE DO NOT DO WHAT THEY THOUGHT WE WERE THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO DO OR THE TIMING ON IT. WE THANK YOU AND WE WILL RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT WE CAN DO A REDUCTION HEARING LATER. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE LIEN WILL NOT GO INTO EFFECT AND THE FEES WILL ACCRUE AND WE WILL COME BACK LATER AT A DIFFERENT TIME TO REQUEST A REDUCTION. >> THAT IS CORRECT. THE LIEN WILL NOT BE ENTERED AT THIS POINT, IT WILL BE POSTPONED AND YOU WILL HAVE -- THE FINES WILL TIP - CONTINUE TO RECRUIT YOU CAN ALSO COME BACK AND ASK FOR A REDUCTION. [B. 24-447 2607 Booker St 1 EZ Buildings LLC Shaun Coss] >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> 24-447 2607 BOOKER ST 1 EZ BUILDINGS LLC IS THE OWNER AND I WILL BE CALLING THEIR ATTORNEY. ALEJANDRO SIXTO . [01:45:01] >> GOOD MORNING. >> THIS IS ELIZABETH WITH THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE BUILDING DEPARTMENT. YOU'RE IN AUDIO ATTENDANCE OF THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE HEARING. THIS IS REGARDING BOOKER STREET. >> YES. >> THANK YOU. 24-447รท 2607 BOOKER ST THIS IS OWNED BY 1 EZ BUILDINGS LLC FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA. THIS IS HERE TODAY FOR A REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF THE VIOLATIONS OF THE PROPERTY SECTION 105.1 REQUIRED. IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE VIOLATION WAS ENTERED, JUNE 14, 2024. A 90 DAY EXTENSION WAS ENTERED AUGUST 14TH, 2024. AN AFFIDAVIT OF NONCOMPLIANCE WAS RECORDED NOVEMBER 20TH, 2024. FINES TOTALING $4830 AS OF JANUARY 7, 2025. THE PERMIT APPLICATION HAS BEEN SUBMITTED AND WAS SUBMITTED BACK IN JULY OF LAST YEAR. IT HAS BEEN REJECTED NUMEROUS TIMES. MOST RECENTLY IT WAS REJECTED DECEMBER 12, 2024. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE COUNCIL OF THE STATUS UPDATE OF THIS CASE. >> YES. MY CLIENT HAS MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS USING DIFFERENT DESIGN PROFESSIONALS . HE HAS USED SEVERAL AND HE HAS DONE THE WORK FOR THE ROOF. RIGHT NOW, THERE HAS BEEN THE BACK-AND-FORTH PENDING WITH ELECTRICAL ASKING FOR ANOTHER SURGE PROTECTION DEVICE. THERE HAS BEEN COMMUNICATION WHERE MY CLIENT IS A LITTLE FRUSTRATED WITH THE PROCESS. DOES THE CITY WANT HIM TO DEMOLISH THE BUILDING? BECAUSE HE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANYTHING APPROVED . WE HAVE A DESIGN OFFICE WITH ROGER TEMPLEMAN WHO IS MAKING THE APPLICATION FOR THE PERMITS. THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE BACK AND FORTH . MY CLIENT IS SHOWING HE DOES NOT WANT TO GET IT FIXED. IT HAS BEEN A PROCESS WHERE HE HAS PAID FEES AND MADE PLAN REVISIONS SEVERAL TIMES. HE WANTS TO GET IT FIXED AND GET IT DONE . HE IS REQUESTING AN EXTENSION AGAIN TO HAVE THE RESPONSE ANALYZED BY THE ENGINEER. THIS WILL CONTINUE AND HE IS 100% COMMITTED TO GETTING THIS WORK DONE AND HE HAS TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET PERMITS APPROVED FOR ALL OF THE WORK AND SOME OF THE WORK IS STILL PENDING. >> DO YOU KNOW WHAT ACTIONS YOUR CLIENT HAS TAKEN SINCE THE LAST REJECTION ON DECEMBER 13TH TO RESOLVE THE PLAN REVIEW? >> YES, HE IS JUST JOINING ME ON THE CALL TO ANSWER THE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. ARE YOU THERE? >> ALL OF THIS TRAUMA. >> BEFORE HE SPEAKS, COULD YOU HAVE HIM SWORN IN BEFORE HE TESTIFIES. >> YES. >> OKAY. >> WHOEVER IS PROVIDING TESTIMONY, STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. [01:50:02] >> AL SELSAN. >> DO YOU SWEAR THAT THIS TESTIMONY WILL BE THE TRUTH? >> YES . >> THANK YOU. >> WHAT HAS HAPPENED AFTER DECEMBER 12 REJECTION FROM THE LATEST PERMIT? >> FROM THAT LAST REJECTION, WE REACHED OUT . THERE WAS MORE THAT HAD TO BE DONE THAT WAS ACTUALLY ON THE NOTE. WE WENT BACK TO THE ELECTRICIAN AND HE GOT TO THE ELECTRICIAN WITH THE ENGINEER. HE WAS ABLE TO REDRAW AND GO OVER ALL OF THE DRAWINGS . WE CHANGED A COUPLE OF THINGS AROUND AS FAR AS THE WATER HEATER AND THOSE THINGS. THEY WERE GOING BACK AND FORTH. ONCE THAT GOT APPROVED, WE HAD ANOTHER CALL WITH ANTHONY AS WELL. THAT IS WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT UP, THE SUBFLOORING . WE THOUGHT IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF ON THE INITIAL NOTE FROM THE PREVIOUS REVIEW. THEY HAVE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH ON WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THAT. ONCE AGAIN , WE HAVE BEEN WITH THE ENGINEER AND HE HAS BEEN UPDATING THE DRAWINGS OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. I HAVE BEEN INTO CITY HALL AS WELL JUST TO MAKE SURE -- WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT. SO YES, JUST WORKING ON GETTING THE DRAWINGS EXACTLY WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. I THINK ANTHONY WAS ON VACATION FOR ONE WEEK SO WE DID NOT HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH HIM WHILE HE WAS ON VACATION. >> WOULD IT BE FAIR TO SAY THAT EACH REVISION COMES UP WITH NEW REQUESTS FROM THE CITY? >> YES , THE REQUEST THAT WERE ASKED FOR, WE SEEM TO COMPLY WITH. BUT IT COMES BACK TO WHERE THERE ARE DIFFERENT THINGS. FOR EXAMPLE, THEY HAD A REQUEST THAT WE COME IN AND ASK FOR A REQUEST FOR AN EARLY START SO WE COULD DO SOME OF THE DEMOLITION TO GET MORE OF THE INFORMATION. TO BE ABLE TO DRAW CORRECTLY SO WE WOULD COMPLY AND THEY WOULD SAY THAT WE HAVE MORE THINGS. THIS LAST TIME IT WAS REALLY A LOT OF COMMUNICATION. WE DID NOT WANT TO BE IN THAT POSITION AGAIN. WE DID NOT WANT TO GO AND PAY THE ENGINEER. WE HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON THE REVISIONS WITH THE ENGINEER WITHOUT HAVING THE FINAL CONVERSATIONS. THAT HAS BEEN A BIG PART OF IT, TO TURN IT IN AND IT IS A LOT OF WAITING TIME BEFORE WE CAN GET THE NEWS. BY THE TIME WE GET THE NEWS, WE HAVE LOST TWO WEEKS. THAT IS ANOTHER REASON WHY IT HAS BEEN DRAGGING A LITTLE BIT. THE LAST TIME IT WAS REALLY COMMUNICATING AND WE ARE REALLY TRYING TO GET ANSWERS ON EXACTLY HOW THEY WANTED EVERYTHING DONE. ONCE AGAIN, THE END OF THE DAY, WE WANT TO GET EVERYTHING DONE AND EXACTLY HOW THEY WANTED. >> WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP? >> ROGER IS OUR ENGINEER REPRESENTATIVE THAT DOES THE DRAWING. I HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO HIM ABOUT HIS LAST CONVERSATION. RIGHT NOW, THE LAST CONVERSATION , IT WAS BROUGHT UP THAT IF WE DO END UP DOING THIS MUCH WORK, WE WILL HAVE TO BRING THE ENTIRE BUILDING UP TO CURRENT CODE. THAT WOULD ADD MUCH MORE THAT WE WERE NOT PLANNING ON IT. THAT IS WHERE THE LAST CONVERSATION LEFT OFF. ONCE AGAIN, IT IS STILL UP IN THE AIR. HE SAYS IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO -- IF YOU DO THESE THINGS -- YOU WILL HAVE TO RECERTIFY THE ROOF AND THE WALL, AND RECERTIFY THINGS THAT WE HAVE NOT EVEN TALKED ABOUT. JUST UNTIL AFTER THE INITIAL REVIEW. WE DO NOT WANT TO GO IN ONCE AGAIN AND PAY FOR EVERYTHING AND GET IT ALL IN TO SAY NOW YOU HAVE TO DO ALL OF THIS. THAT IS KIND OF WHERE WE ARE AT AND I AM AWARE OF IN THE PROCESS. WITH MY COMMUNICATIONS AND WITH THE ENGINEER AND THE [01:55:03] ENGINEER REPRESENTATIVE. >> HOW MUCH TIME ARE YOU ASKING? >> REALLY, IT IS BASED ON HOW MUCH INFORMATION WE CAN GET ON EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING TO BE NEEDED FROM THE CITY. IF WE TURN EVERYTHING IN IN THE CITY COMES BACK AND THEY SAY WE WILL REVIEW IT. NOW THERE IS ANOTHER TWO OR THREE WEEKS. IT COULD BE ONE OR TWO WEEKS OF REVIEW OR THREE WEEKS. WE DO NOT KNOW SO IT IS HARD TO PUT A TIME ON IT. I THINK THE LAST TIME WE GOT 90 DAYS AND THAT WAS JUST ENOUGH TIME FOR 2 REVISIONS. THIS WAS HOW IT WAS REVIEWED AND TO COME BACK AND ONCE AGAIN COMMUNICATE. AND HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT 90 DAYS? WE ARE CLOSE ENOUGH AS TO WHERE THOSE 90 DAYS SHOULD GET US TO THE FINISH LINE. >> WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH REGARDS TO THE SITUATION? >> THIS WILL GET US THAT IT IS GOING TO BE MORE AND MORE MONEY THAT NEEDS TO BE SPENT. SO WE DO HAVE TO COME TO THE DECISION ON WHERE WE GO FROM HERE. >> WHAT I WOULD REQUEST IS THAT WE COULD TRY AND UPDATE DAILY BECAUSE THEY HAVE SHOWN A LOT OF GOOD INTENTIONS. THERE HAS BEEN WORK AND PLAN REVIEWS. IT IS NOT JUST BEING SITTING THERE. >> FOR SURE. >> I GUESS THAT IS WHERE WE ARE AT. >> THANK YOU. STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO STAY THE ACCRUAL OF FINES FOR 90 DAYS AND PROVIDE A FINAL OF 90 DAYS EXTENSION. THE PERMIT IS NOT ISSUED WITHIN THOSE 90 DAYS, THE FINES WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE RESTARTED. >> UNDERSTOOD. >> OKAY AND THE FINE WILL NOT ACCRUE FOR 90 DAYS. BUT IF THE PERMIT IS NOT OBTAINED, IT WILL GO BACK TO WHERE IT WAS. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? >> JUST TO MY KNOWLEDGE, IT WILL NOT ACCRUE. BUT IF THERE IS A COMPLIANCE, THE NONE OF THE FINES WILL BE DUE IS THAT CORRECT? >> THAT IS NOT CORRECT. THERE ARE FINES THAT ARE ALREADY ACCRUED. ONCE THE CASE IS IN COMPLIANCE, YOU CAN REQUEST A FINE REDUCTION. >> WE CAN MITIGATE AFTER WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE. >> OKAY. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. THAT IS IT.
