SWORN. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: COMPLIANT (WHEREUPON, THE PARTIES WERE SWORN IN.).
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THE ALLEGATIONS?
>>FEMALE SPEAKER: THE PROPERTY WAS VACANT FOR A WHILE. I WAS JUST PLACED AS THE PROPERTY OWNER AFTER A PROBATE. IT WAS MY GRANDMOTHER'S PROPERTY. I WAS RECENTLY THE PROPERTY OWNER WHEN MY MOM PASSED A YEAR AGO. SO IT WAS VACANT. MY PLAN WAS TO DO A COMPLETE GUTTING OF THE PROPERTY AND DEMOLISH IT, BUT MY SISTER BEGGED ME TO LET SOMEONE LIVE THERE BECAUSE SHE WAS HOMELESS. SO RELUCTANTLY, I LET SOMEONE LIVE THERE KNOWING THAT IT WAS NOT UP TO CODE. BUT, I TOLD LIEUTENANT THAT IT'S NOT UP TO CODE AND SHE -- SHE CAME UP WITH THE RENTAL AGREEMENT. BUT I GUESS AFTER THREE MONTHS, SHE COULD NOT PAY THE RENT SO SHE DECIDED
[00:05:09]
TO CALL CODE ENFORCEMENT BECAUSE I WAS ASKING HER TO PAY THE RENT AFTER SHE HAD PAID FOR THREE MONTHS. BUT EVEN IN THE LEASE IS STATED IT IS AT ISAS IS AND I DID NOT WANT TO RENT IT OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT A TENANT TO BE IN THERE WHEN I TRY TO REMODEL IT AND HAVE TO WAIT FOR HER TO MOVE AT ALL THIS. SO, THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE. BUT AT THIS POINT, I'M JUST NOT READY TO MAKE THE RENOVATIONS BECAUSE I'M IN GRAD SCHOOL. I WAS HAVING SOME HEALTH ISSUES. SO I WAS GOING TO TRY TO REMODEL IT AT LEAST BY MAY. BUT WE JUST HAVE NOT GOTTEN THERE YET.>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: MY PLAN IS TO DO EITHER A COMPLETE DEMOLITION OR TO GOT IT OUT COMPLETELY.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. NOW, AS PART OF THE RECOMMENDATION, THE CITY HAS ASKED THAT YOU BE GIVEN 60 DAYS TO OBTAIN A PERMIT.
>>FEMALE SPEAKER: OKAY. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THE GOOD THING ABOUT THAT, THE CITY IS ASKING FOR 60 DAYS, THAT'S TWO MONTHS BEFORE OKAY.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ONCE YOU PULL THE PERMIT YOU HAVE 180 DAYS TO COMPLY WITH THE PERMIT AND ALL THE CONDITIONS THAT COME WITH THE PERMIT.
SO, DO YOU THINK THAT WILL HELP YOU?
>>FEMALE SPEAKER: >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THAT WILL TAKE YOU INTO MARCH TO GET IT PULLED AND THEN YOU HAVE AN ADDITIONAL SIX MONTHS TO START THE WORK. SOMETIMES, IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL TIME, YOU'RE DOING THE WORK, PROBLEMS COME UP, ESPECIALLY WITH OLDER HOUSES. IF YOU WOULD JUST TALK TO CODE, SOMETIMES YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO COME BACK AND THEY WILL WORK THINGS OUT WITH YOU.
>>FEMALE SPEAKER: OKAY. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: IS THAT SOMETHING YOU THINK YOU CAN DO?
>>FEMALE SPEAKER: SO, THE PERMIT, LIKE WHAT TYPE OF PERMIT? LIKE A PERMIT FOR LIKE A DEMOLITION? BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO GET COMPLETELY --
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ANYTHING YOU DO TO IT, PRETTY MUCH, THE ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, THE WATER, THE TREATMENT -- I DON'T THINK YOU NEED A TREATMENT CODE?
>>MALE SPEAKER: IT DOES NOT REQUIRE CODE.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ALL THE CONDITIONS HAVE TO START OR BE COMPLIED WITH.
>>MALE SPEAKER: SPECIAL MAGISTRATE?
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YES. >>MALE SPEAKER: DEMOLITION PERMITS ONLY VALID FOR 60 DAY SO IF YOU WANTED TO DEMOLISH THE HOUSE IN ITS ENTIRETY. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE REPAIRS TO THE HOUSE INSTEAD, YOU COULD GET A RESIDENTIAL REPAIR PERMIT FOR EVERYTHING, THE STRUCTURAL REPAIRS, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, MECHANICAL, EASY. THAT PERMIT WOULD BE VALID FOR 180 DAYS. STAFF WOULD BE AGREEABLE TO EXTENDING THE INITIAL TIMEFRAME FROM 60 DAYS TO 90 DAYS, THAT WAY YOU WOULD HAVE AN EXTRA 30 DAYS TO DECIDE IF YOU WANTED TO DEMOLISH THE HOUSE AND MOVE FOR -- OR MOVE FORWARD WITH REPAIRS. THAT WOULD TAKE YOU INTO APRIL.
DO YOU THINK BY APRIL YOU COULD DECIDE WHICH WAY YOU WANTED TO GO?
>>FEMALE SPEAKER: YES. >>MALE SPEAKER: STAFF RECOMMENDS 90 DAYS TO OBTAIN A PERMIT AND COMPLY WITH ALL CONDITIONS.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: I HAVE ONE QUESTION. IF I DO DECIDE TO COMPLETELY GUT IT OUT, I'M NOT TRYING TO RENT IT OUT FOR A YEAR, SO DOES THAT PUT ME ON A TIMEFRAME TO HAVE TO HAVE IT READY BEFORE HIM TRYING TO RENT
IT OUT? >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: TALK TO
CODE BUILDING. >>MALE SPEAKER: SOME OF THESE ISSUES WE DON'T WANT TO 10 IN THERE UNTIL IT'S REPAIRED. THE PERMIT IS FOR 180 DAYS. ONCE YOU HAVE AN IMPROVED INSPECTION, IT EXTENSIVE FOR ANOTHER HUNDRED 80 DAYS. AT THE SAME TIME THE ISSUES NEED TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE A TENANT MOVES IN.
>>FEMALE SPEAKER: DEFINITELY. I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE A TENANT UNTIL IT'S UP TO CODE. I'M NOT FINANCIAL READY TO FIX THE ISSUES. THAT'S WHY DID NOT WANT A TENANT THERE IN THE
FIRST PLACE. SO, OKAY. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: IT'S DOABLE? IT REALLY IS. JUST STAY IN TOUCH WITH BUILDING AND THEY WILL WORK WITH YOU. IT'S
DOABLE. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: OKAY.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU MIGHT HAVE TO MAKE A FEW SACRIFICES, BUT IT'S DOABLE.
ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING FURTHER? JULIN? YOU CAN COMMENT?
>>MALE SPEAKER: I DID WANT TO READ THE BOTTOM PARAGRAPH SO SHE COULD UNDERSTAND IF THAT'S
OKAY WITH YOU. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THAT IS FIND-- FINE WITH ME. THE CITY REQUESTS THAT IF THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FINDS, THE VIOLATIONS EXIST, THE VIOLATOR BE ASSESSED THE TOTAL DUE AS -- THAT THE VIOLATORS BE GIVEN 90
DAYS. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THAT'S IT? HOLD ON. DON'T LEAVE YET. GIVE ME ONE MINUTE.
RE:. BASED ON THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES I FIND THAT A VIOLATION AGAINSTEXIST THAT 431 NORTH 21ST STREET IN FORT PIERCE FLORIDA AND THAT BRITTANY GEORGE'S IS
[00:10:05]
RESPONSIBLE. I ORDER THAT YOU CAN BE GIVEN 90 DAYS TO OBTAIN A PERMIT, COMPLY WITH ALL OTHER PERMIT CONDITIONS AND CURE ALL OTHER VIOLATIONS AS PRESCRIBED IN THE ORDER NOT -- OR A FINE OF $100 WILL BE ASSESSED. YOU BEEN GIVEN SOME TIME TO GET THIS GOING. THAT'S THE START AND IT SHOULDN'T BE TOO COSTLY FOR YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANKYOU. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: THANK YOU.

>>MALE SPEAKER: ERIC CHRISTMAS. >>THE CLERK: (WHEREUPON, THE
PARTIES WERE SWORN IN.). >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HOW DO
YOU RESPOND? >>MALE SPEAKER: ARE NOT GETTING THE PERMIT? UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP SO LAST YEAR. WE MOVED IN RECENTLY.
AND THINGS HAVE NOT BEEN PANNING OUT. AS FAR AS GETTING A PERMIT GOES, THE REASON I DELAYED ON IT -- I DID NOT KNOW I NEEDED ONE FOR THE PARTICULAR MODIFICATION OF THE DUCTWORK THAT WAS THERE ALREADY. THERE WERE ISSUES WITH THE DUCT WORK AND THERE ARE THINGS WITH THAT -- IT HAS A HORRIBLE SMELL -- I DID NOT WANT TO LIVE WITH MY WIFE IN THAT ENVIRONMENT. SO I REMOVED IT. AND PUT CLEAN DOCS AT THE BOTTOM AREA.
IT CAME TO MY ATTENTION OF THE VIOLATION, I WENT HERE. I TRIED TO GET A PERMIT STARTED BUT I NEEDED A MANUAL J WHICH I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS. SO I RESEARCHED AND THAT COST MONEY AND A COSTING MONEY AND I KEPT RESEARCHING AND HE KEPT COSTING MORE MONEY AND I'VE BEEN SHORT.
IT'S LIKE YOU HAVE GOT TO GET MYSELF SOME TIME. I WAS HOPING THAT WHEN THE PROCESS STARTED IT WOULD GIVE ME A MONTH OR TWO TO SAVE UP MONEY FOR IT. I SAVED UP SOME. MONEY DID COME IN A LITTLE BIT AND THAT'S AROUND THE TIME I GOT THE SUMMONS AND I ENDED UP -- I ACTUALLY HAVE A -- I DID PAY LIKE SOMEONE TO START THE PROCESS ON IT.
THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN STARTED SOONER, LIKE THREE MONTHS AGO, BUT THE FIRST GENTLEMAN GHOSTED ME. SO HE DID NOT REPLY. HE CAME IN -- THE FIRST GUY DID HIS ASSESSMENT AND SAID I'LL EMAIL YOU LATER. LITERALLY NEVER EMAIL ME.
I WAS OBLIGED TO GO TO SOMEBODY ELSE I FELT BAD BECAUSE LARRY PROMISE YOU AND I -- I CONTACTED MILLER AIR CONDITIONING. LAST TUESDAY IT SAYS ON THERE. BUT ANYWAYS, I GOT IN TOUCH WITH THEM. THE GUY CAME HE GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE AND I PAID HIM HALF. THEY SAID RIGHT NOW THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING EVERYTHING PROCESSED AND STARTED AND SHOULD BE DONE HOPEFULLY, BEFORE THE -- WITHIN SOON, REALLY SOON IT SHOULD BE DONE.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HOW SOON AS SOON?
>>MALE SPEAKER: I DO NOT WANT TO PUT WORDS IN HER MOUTH. I DO WANT ESTIMATE FOR THEM BUT I ASKED HIM WHAT THE NORMAL TURNAROUND WAS AND I SAID A FEW WEEKS. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE -- ANYTHING COMES UP. THEY ARE WORKING ON THE PERMIT NOW BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO DO A NEW PERMIT. WHATEVER FINE IS BEING MARKED ON YOUR ANY FINES I'D SAY ACCRUED FROM -- I KNOW WHEN THEY JUST MAKE THEY DO ALL DIFFERENT STUFF. I'M JUST GONNA PAY THAT.
THEY SAID THEY WILL CONTACT ME AND I'LL PAY WHATEVER IT IS AND I'LL GET EVERYTHING DONE PRETTY MUCH. I'M JUST TRYING TO GET ALL DONE.
[00:15:01]
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. ANYTHING FURTHER? ALL RIGHT. BASED ON THE EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY I FIND THAT A VIOLATION EXISTS AT 2803 OLEANDER BOULEVARD. AND THAT ERIC CHRISTMAS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VIOLATION. I WILL GIVE YOU 60 DAYS TO OBTAIN THE PERMIT, OBTAIN APPROVAL FOR ALL REQUIRED PERMIT INSPECTIONS AT LEAST EVERY 180 DAYS UNTIL THE PERMIT HAS BEEN CLOSED.

ASSESSED. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU GET THE PERMIT. YOU HAVE 180 DAYS TO COMPLY. WILL.
>>MALE SPEAKER: I'M SURPRISED HOW MANY PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO GET PAID TO DO WORK (LAUGHING).
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WITH ALL OF THE HURRICANES WE'VE HAD DURING THE LAST DECADE, THERE'S TONS OF WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN THE SITTING COUNTY AND PEOPLE WANT TO DO THE BIG JOBS
AND NOT THE LITTLE ONES. >>MALE SPEAKER: EXACTLY.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I'VE RUN INTO THAT PROBLEM MYSELF. GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
>>MALE SPEAKER: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DO I LEAVE OR DO I STAY?
[E. 19-2516 705 Avenue B Mangroo, Anand & Asha Paul Julin]
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU CAN STAY IF YOU'D LIKE, BUT YOU MAY LEAVE.
>>MALE SPEAKER: THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE WELCOME. NEXT CASE? CASE NUMBER CASE NUMBER 19-25 1675 AVENUE B, MAN GREW IS THE OWNER.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: GOOD MORNING ACTUALLY THE OWNERS LIVE INTRANET.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: MA'AM, HOLD ON. ALL RIGHT. LET'S JUST WEAR YOU IN RIGHT NOW.
>>THE CLERK: REGION RIGHT-HANDED STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.
>>FEMALE SPEAKER: KATHLEEN 1010.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: MR. JULIN, WHEN YOU ARE READY? MR. JULIN WILL PRESENT AN ANNUAL BE
ALLOTTED TIME TO RESPOND. >>MALE SPEAKER: THIS CASE IS 19-2516, THE ADDRESS IS 705 AVENUE B, CLEAN. THE CASE INITIATED ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2019. AGAIN, THE OWNER IS UNKNOWN. THEIR PO BOX IS 4478 DEBBIE AND THAT'S IN TRINIDAD.
THE PARAGRAPH SO THE VIOLATIONS WILL BE IPMC 305.6, INTERIOR DOORS. 309.1, INFESTATION.
302.5 RODENT HARBORAGE. 305.3, INTERIOR SURFACES. AND 605.2 ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLES.
SO THE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS NEED TO REPAIR AND REPLACE INTERIOR DOORS, FITTING THE DOOR PROPERLY TO THE DOOR OPENING. TREAT THE PROPERTY FOR PEST INFESTATION. ONCE THE PROPERTY IS TREATED FOR PEST INFESTATION, TAKE MEASURES TO PREVENT RODENT HARBORAGE AT THIS PROPERTY. MAKE NECESSARY REPAIRS TO THE HOLES IN THE WALLS, BOTH OPEN AND HOLES COVERED BY WOOD PLANKS. PROPERLY FILL IN -- FILL AND SEAL HOLES WITH SPACKLE, CAULK OR OTHER APPROVED SEALANT. REPAIR THE WALLS WITH THE -- THAT ARE DECAYING AND WHERE THE PAINT IS PEELING. AND THE LAST ONE WOULD BE REPLACED ELECTRICAL FACEPLATE COVERS
THAT ARE BROKEN. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY.
ANYTHING FURTHER? >>MALE SPEAKER: NO.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HOW DO YOU RESPOND?
>>FEMALE SPEAKER: I'M THE PROPERTY MANAGER. ANAND & ASHA MANGROO ARE IN TRINIDAD AND THE MAIL SERVICE IN TRINIDAD IS HORRIFIC. WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICES BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO THEM. SO I NEED TO TAKE STEPS, PERSONABLE, TO GET COMMUNICATION SENT TO ME.
THE -- WHEN THE TENANT MADE THE COMPLAINTS, SHE DONE WOULD NOT ALLOW US TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE
[00:20:12]
PROPERTY. AND WE GOT EMERGENCY ACCESS ONE DAY TO PUT UP THE PLANKS TO COVER THE HOLES QUICKLY. WE HAD LIKE ONE HOUR WE COULD GET IN THERE.THEN, WHEN WE -- WHEN SHE MOVED OUT, WE DID EVERYTHING. AND AGAIN, ANOTHER MISCOMMUNICATION. THE DOORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, THE FLOORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, THE BASEBOARDS, IT'S BEEN PAINTED. THERE'S BEEN MESH WIRING PUT AROUND THE WHOLE HOUSE AND WE THOUGHT IT HAD BEEN INSPECTED BECAUSE THERE WERE TWO PEOPLE FROM THE CITY THEY CAME OUT ON THE LAST DAY WHEN THEY WERE PUTTING THE MASH UP AROUND THE HOUSE. AND THE PERSON WHO WAS WORKING FOR ME, BERNARD KELLY, HE SAID HE THOUGHT HE HAS TO DO I NEED TO GET THE LANDLORD TO DO ANYTHING AND WAS TOLD NO IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING IS DONE AND IT'S FINE. SO WE THOUGHT -- THIS WAS NOVEMBER. THAT THIS WAS ALL DONE. AND WE THOUGHT WE WERE IN COMPLIANCE.
AND BECAUSE THEY WERE SENDING THINGS TO TRINIDAD WE DID NOT KNOW WE WEREN'T IN TURN COMPLIANCE. THE FIRST TIME I KNEW WE WERE NOT IN COMPLIANCE IS WHEN YOU POSTED SOMETHING ON IT WAS IN A NEW TENANT GAVE ME THIS ON LIKE OH MY GOSH! SO, IT HAS BEEN DONE. YOU CAN INSPECT ANY TIME. IT'S BEEN DONE FOR MONTHS.
>> OKAY. ANYTHING FURTHER? IF YOU'RE JUST IN COMPLIANCE I'LL CONTINUE THIS UNTIL MY NEXT DOCKET AND YOU ALL CAN GET TOGETHER AND IF SHE'S IN COMPLIANCE, FINE. IF NOT, WORK IT OUT. BUT I'LL CONTINUE THIS BEFORE OKAY AND I'M SORRY FOR THE MISCOMMUNICATION. IF YOU CAN TELL ME HOW TO CHANGE THE ADDRESS -- THAT YOU, YOUR HONOR, BUT TELL ME HOW TO
CHANGE THE ADDRESS SO I -- >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR COMING.
[A. 17-2777 2210 N 17th Street Sands, Desean D. Shaun Coss]
NEXT CASE? >>THE CLERK: THE NEXT CASE IS 7 LETTER A CASE NUMBER 17-277, ADDRESS 2210 NORTH 17TH STREET, DESHAWN SC)ANCE IS THE OWNER.
SC)ANCE. MR. SIEMENS IS THE OWNER.
>> GOOD MORNING. THIS IS CASE NUMBER 17-2 774-2210 NORTH 17TH STREET OWNED BY DESEAN SANDS AT THE SAME ADDRESS. THE CASE WAS INITIATED JUNE 1828 TEAM. VIOLATIONS ARE 105.1 PERMIT REQUIRED. THIS ORIGINAL K MARCH 20105.1 PERMIT REQUIRED. THIS ORIGINAL K MARCH 20, 2019 A 90 DAY EXTENSION WAS PROVIDED MAY 22, 2019. AN AFFIDAVIT OF NONCOMPLIANCE IN THE FINE STARTING WAS RECORDED ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2019. AN ORDER ASSESSING FINDING IMPOSING LIEN WAS RECORDED DECEMBER 9, 2019. UNFORTUNATELY, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE I GAVE DESEAN SANDS VETTED BY SPIRIT ECONOMY HALLWAY WHEN DAY AND ADVISED THAT HE HAD RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE CITY THAT FINES HAD STARTED. I ADVISED MR. SANDS TO RESPOND TO THE NOTICE. I WAS ASSUMING IT WAS A NASTY NOTICE. I ADVISED HIM TO RESPOND TO THE NOTICE SO THAT WE COULD SCHEDULE IT FOR HEARING.
IT WAS NOT UNTIL MS. BECK WAS PREPARING THE FILES THAT I REALIZE THAT WE HAD ACTUALLY ALREADY RECORDED THE LIEN. THEREFORE, IT WAS PUT ON THE DOCKET AS A LIEN REDUCTION.
HOWEVER, AS YOU ARE AWARE SINCE THE CASE IS STILL IN VIOLATION, WE CANNOT ENTERTAIN REDUCING THE LIEN AT THIS TIME. SO I DID NOT WANT TO JUST PULL THE CASE FROM THE AGENDA. I DID NOT HAVE MR. SANDS CONTACT INFORMATION. SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BEST TO LEAVE IT ON THE AGENDA SO THAT IF DESEAN SANDS HAD ANY QUESTIONS WE COULD ADDRESS THAT. I ALSO SEE THERE'S A CONTRACTOR REPRESENTATIVE HERE THIS MORNING. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN AN UPDATE IF ONE CAN BE
PROVIDED. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY.
GOOD MORNING, MR. SANDS. RAISE YOUR WRITING AND DID STATE YOUR NAME.
>>MALE SPEAKER: MY NAME IS DESEAN SANDS.
>>THE CLERK: (WHEREUPON, THE PARTIES WERE SWORN IN.) COULD.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE PROPERTY RIGHT NOW?
>>MALE SPEAKER: RIGHT NOW, IT'S -- IT'S TWO HOUSES ON ONE LOT. I'M LIVING IN ONE AND THIS IS THE HOUSE BEHIND THE HOUSE THAT I'M CURRENTLY OCCUPYING. AND I SPOKE TO MR. CROSS, I THINK IN
[00:25:03]
JANUARY, PROBABLY EARLY PART OF LAST YEAR 2019. AND I WAS ADVISED THAT I COULD -- IF I COULD DO A CHANGE OF USE FOR AN ENGINEER, -- WILL THE ENGINEER ADVISED ME THAT -- I CALLED AROUND A FEW PLACES AND INQUIRED ABOUT A CHANGE OF ADDRESS. I WAS GOING TO CHANGE IT INTO A STORAGE. AND I GOT THROUGH TO AN ENGINEER BY THE NAME OF ADAM. AND HE ADVISED ME THAT HE COULD DO A CHANGE FOR THE PROPERTY. SO HAVE THEM COME OUT AND HE DID A FEW MEASUREMENTS AND HE SAID HE WOULD DO THE CHANGE OF PURPOSE. I HAVE SCREENSHOTS FOR THE EMAILS AND STUFF BACK AND FORTH WITH ME AND HIM. SO, WHEN I RECEIVED THE -- THE LIEN IN THE MAIL I WAS -- I THOUGHT IT WAS -- NOW TODAY, I HAVE -- WE HAVE A CONTRACTOR AND WE ARE TRYING TO GET, PUT DEPARTMENTS TO CHANGE IT INTO A STORAGE.>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. ANYTHING FURTHER.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I'M GONNA NEED YOUR HELP ON THIS ONE.
>> JUST TO PROVIDE A LITTLE CLARITY. THERE IS A SEPARATE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING BEHIND MR. SANDS PRIMARY RESIDENCE. PRIOR TO HIM OWNING THAT PROPERTY SOMEONE HAD GONE IN THERE AND DONE SOME UNPERMITTED ELECTRICAL WORK IN A BATHROOM RENOVATION. SO IN THIS CASE WAS FIRST STARTED AND MR. SANDS TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY WAS CITED AS THE NEW OWNER. WE HAD A DISCUSSION EARLY LAST YEAR ABOUT WHETHER HE WAS GOING TO RESTORE IT BACK TO ITS RESIDENTIAL USE OR AS HE WOULD PREFER TO A GARAGE. SINCE IT'S ON THE BOOKS AS RESIDENTIAL USE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPAIRED TO RESIDENTIAL USE ALESSI OBTAINED A PERMIT FOR CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY TO CONVERT IT INTO A GARAGE, WHICH IF IT WAS CONVERTED INTO A GARAGE, HE WOULD NOT HAVE TO RENOVATE THE BATHROOM BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T BE NECESSARY. SO I BELIEVE AT THE TIME IT WAS MORE OF A FINANCIAL DECISION AS WELL TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE CHEAPER OPTION WOULD BE, WHETHER TO REPAIR IT AS IS OR TO GO THROUGH THE CHANGE PROCESS.
SO IN OUR CONVERSATIONS, I AM AWARE THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEBODY PERPETRATED OR -- AN ENGINEER WHO WAS NOT LICENSED. I'M HAPPY TO SEE HE'S WORKING WITH A CONTRACTOR.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. SOUNDS LIKE A MESS.
>>MALE SPEAKER: IT IS. BECAUSE I WAS NOT EVEN AWARE THAT THE WORK WAS DONE. IT'S KIND OF LIKE I MOVED IN AND THE HOUSE AMEN, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. SO -- AND THE PROPERTY IN THE BACK OF ME, I DON'T EVEN REALLY GOING THERE. SO IT'S LIKE NOW I'M IN TROUBLE FOR PROPERTY I DON'T EVEN KNOW MUCH ABOUT.
>> YOU'RE NOT IN A WHOLE LOT OF TROUBLE. LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN WORK OUT BETWEEN THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT, MYSELF AND YOU. ARE YOU GOING TO PURSUE THE
CHANGE OF USE. >>MALE SPEAKER: YES, MA'AM. MY CONTRACTORS WORKING -- WAITING ON THE PERMIT.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HAVE THEY BEEN APPLIED FOR?
>>MALE SPEAKER: >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: MR. AND ROSE, COME ON. I DO KNOW MR. ANDRO'S STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.
>> USE EAR -- (WHEREUPON, THE PARTIES WERE SWORN IN.).
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: TELL US WHERE WE ARE WITH THIS MR. CONSTANCE?
>> IN REGARD TO THIS PROPERTY WE ARE AT THE PERMITTING STAGE AND THAT'S WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. I ASKED THAT YOU GIVE US LENIENCY FOR THE PERMIT TO BE ISSUED FOR THE CHANGE OF USE.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. HAVE YOU APPLIED FOR THE PERMITS THEY GO YES, MA'AM.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HAVE THEY BEEN APPROVED.
>>MALE SPEAKER: NOT YET. BECAUSE THE REQUIREMENT WITH THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT'LL TAKE YOU TO GET THAT COMPLETED?
>>MALE SPEAKER: HOPEFULLY WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. >>MALE SPEAKER: BECAUSE OF
ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THAT MAY BE A PROBLEM. MR. CROSS, DO SUFFICIENT? T 3
>>MALE SPEAKER: I THINK 60 DAYS WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I WOULD AGREE.
>>SHAUN COSS: TO HAVE THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT TO AMPLE REVIEW.
[00:30:05]
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: DO WE WANT TO STOP THE FINES FROM ACCRUING?
>>FEMALE SPEAKER: THIS IS MY QUESTION, BECAUSE OF THE PROCEDURAL POSTURE WE ARE IN, I DO NOT KNOW IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOUR HONOR CAN DO (LAUGHING) BUT I WILL DEFER TO STAFF AS THEY HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE WITH THIS.
>>MALE SPEAKER: SPECIAL MAGISTRATE THE ORDER ASSESSING FINE STATES CLEARLY THAT THE FINE SHALL CONTINUE TO ACCRUE WHILE THE VIOLATION CONTINUES. UNFORTUNATELY THE STAFF DOES NOT SUPPORT STOPPING THE VINES.
HOWEVER, AS I SAID IN FALLING ON MY SWORD, I GAVE MR. SANDS BAD ADVICE SO WE WILL TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION ONCE THIS PROPERTY COMES INTO COMPLIANCE THE CONSTANT CONTACT AND STRESS THAT YOU'VE GONE THROUGH IN TRYING TO BRING THIS PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: RIGHT. THERE IS A REMEDY. TALK WITH BUILDING. I'M NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE ADVICE FROM THE BENCH BUT THERE IS A REMEDY. THE MAIN THING IS GET THE PERMITS PERMITTED -- I MEAN GET THEM PULLED, APPROVED, GET WORKING AND THEN THE STAFF CAN TELL YOU SOME OTHER THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO BUT I DO APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN. SORRY ABOUT THE
MIXUP. >>MALE SPEAKER: WILL THERE BE A DATE FOR REDUCING THE FINE TO TRY NOT --
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ALL DEFER TO MR.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I DON'T WANT YOU LEAVING THINKING THIS IS BAD. IT'S NOT. THERE IS A RAINBOW AT THE END OF THIS TUNNEL, OKAY?
>>MALE SPEAKER: EXPENSIVE RAINBOW.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WHAT YEAR WAS A HOUSE BUILT. DO YOU KNOW?
>>MALE SPEAKER: IT'S AN OLD HOUSE PROBABLY LATE 50'S.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: IT'S ALWAYS A PROBLEM. THE CODE WAS MUCH MORE RELAXED IF THERE WAS A CODE NOT HAVE TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE. BUT HERE AGAIN BE OPTIMISTIC. THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO AND BUILDING WILL LET YOU KNOW THANK YOU.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I WILL CONTINUE THIS -- I WILL GIVE YOU 30 DAYS TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE, OKAY, BUT THE FINES ARE STILL RUNNING. THEY'RE ALREADY RUNNING.
>>MALE SPEAKER: 60 DAYS, PLEASE.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: 60 DAYS IS FINE WITH ME BUT IF YOU STARTED IT SHOULD NOT TAKE LONG. WORK WITH BUILDING. THEY WILL HELP. TRUST. THANK YOU.

>>SHAUN COSS: I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH DEVON HOLTZ, WHO IS THE MANAGER OF GREAT LLC. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE THIS MORNING. I WAS JUST CHECKING MY EMAILS I SEE THAT HE SENT ME AN EMAIL THIS MORNING AT 9:39 AM THAT HE TOTALLY FORGOT THAT TODAY WAS NOT MONDAY THAT HE WAS HEADING HERE IF IT'S NOT TOO LATE. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE WE CAN STIPULATE TO A 60 DAY CONTINUANCE BASED OFF OF OUR PREVIOU DISCUSSION. THIS PROPERTY WAS LAST USED AS A ROOMING HOUSE. UNDER PREVIOUS OWNERSHIP, THE OWNER HAD STARTED TO DO REPAIRS WITHOUT PERMITS TO TURN IT BACK INTO A ROOMING HOUSE. THE PROPERTY OWNER SOLD IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE WHO HAD GREAT INTENTIONS OF CONVERTING IT INTO VETERAN LIVING SPACE. THOSE PLANS FELL THROUGH. AND THE PROPERTY IS NOW OWNED BY GREAT LLC. HIS INTENTION IS TO CONVERT THE PROPERTY INTO A TRIPLEX OR A QUAD UNIT WHICH WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR THIS AREA. HOWEVER, HE DOES NEED TIME TO CONSULT WITH ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS. I WOULD BE AGREEABLE TO PROVIDING THE 60 DAY CONTINUANCE IN THIS CASE.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING FURTHER?

DAY WILL BE ASSESSED. >>MALE SPEAKER: IN THE 60 DAYS.
