UPON ACQUIRING THE PROPERTY, I NOTICED THAT TWO TREES WERE DEAD ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, AND COMING INTO HURRICANE SEASON, I MIGHT BE A LITTLE ANAL RETENTATIVE WITH.

IT WAS A NUISANCE. TO ME THAT WAS PUBLIC SAFETY AND A LIABILITY ISSUE FOR BOTH MYSELF AND THE CITY ARGUABLY. >> DID YOU ALERT THE CITY OF THAT BEFORE YOU CUT THE TREE DOWN. >> MA'AM, I'M JUST HERE I WOULD NOT SPEND $2,000 TO HAVE SOMEBODY CUT DOWN A PERFECTLY GOOD TREE. >> SURE. I CAN APPRECIATE THAT. WE'RE CODE ENFORCEMENT AND WE HAVE RULES WE HAVE TO FOLLOW AND YOU STATED YOU ARE AN ATTORNEY.

SO ONCE THE PROPERTY WAS DEMOED, THE NUISANCE ABATEMENT THAT THE CITY HAD TO ENDURE, ISAAC, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THAT WAS THAT GENERATED THESE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. >> MORE THAN LIKELY-- WELL PART OF IT IS GOING TO BE FROM WHATEVER THE CONTRACTOR WAS CHARGED TO DEMOLISH. OTHER FEES ARE GOING TO INCLUDE LIKE AN INTEREST CHARGES. SO THE DEMOLITION COST THERE. IS ALSO THE PENALTY OF 1%. SO I MEAN-- I HAVE THE PAPERWORK IN FRONT OF ME. THAT IS WHERE THESE FINES STARTED ADDING UP. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. >> MOST EXPENSIVE PART IS THE COST OF THE DEMOLITION. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: SIR, FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO CONSIDER YOUR REQUEST FOR A LIEN REDUCTION AND APPROVE IT I HAVE TO ESTABLISH THAT THE NUISANCE ABATEMENT THAT THE CITY PAID FOR THAT REDUCED AMOUNT TORE YOUR LIEN REDUCTION FROM 23,000 TO ANYTHING LESS THAN, THAT THE AMOUNT IS NO LESS THAN AMOUNT TO COVER THE HARD COST FOR SERVICES PLUS ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS WHICH INCLUDE MAILING, COSTS NECESSARY TO COVER THE PROCESSING OF THE CATES. ANYTHING THAT THE CITY HAD TO PAY RELATED TO THIS NUISANCE ABATEMENT. I CAN'T REDUCE THE LIEN ANYTHING BELOW THAT. THAT IS WHY I ASKED ISAAC TO EXPLAIN WHAT THE FEES ARE THAT THE CITY HAS HAD TO PAY. AND SO IN THIS CASE, THE CITY TESTIFIED AND HAS EVIDENCE SUPPORTING THAT THEY'RE NUISANCE ABATEMENT ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS TOTALLY 17,523.82. THAT IS THE LEAST I CAN REDUCE YOUR LIEN TO. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WISH TO SAY AT THIS TIME. >> NO. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: TYPICALLY THE STANDARD TIME TO PAY THE REDUCED AMOUNT IS 60 DAYS. BUT THAT COULD BE EXTENDED UP TO 12 MONTHS IF THERE IS EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT AN EXTENSION. CAN YOU MAKE THIS PAYMENT IN 60 DAYS OR DO YOU NEED SOME SORT OF A PARTIAL PAYMENT THAT THE CITY WOULD ACCEPT. >> PROBABLY, YEAH. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WHO WOULD HE WORK WITH TO ESTABLISH THAT? IT HAS TO BE PAID IN 12 MONTHS OR LESS. >> YOU CAN ORDER THE LENGTH OF TIME AND FINANCE WILL ACCEPT PARTIAL PAYMENTS BUT THEY DON'T SET UP A PAYMENT PLAN. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. THAT IS WHY I'M ASKING. I WANT TO MAKE SURE. HOW MUCH TIME. I CAN'T GIVE YOU MORE THAN 12 MONTHS. BUT HOW MUCH TIME YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO PUT IN MY ORDER SO WE CAN ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE FOR YOU? >> SO. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: AGAIN, IT'S NOT A PAYMENT PLAN, BUT YOU CAN MAKE PARTIAL PAYMENTS DURING THAT TIME PERIOD AS OUR CLERK HAS STATED. >> WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT? >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: UM, IF YOU DON'T TIMELY PAY THE AMOUNT OF THE REDUCED LIEN, IT WILL REVERT TO THE AMOUNT PRESENTED ORIGINALLY WHICH WAS THE 23,077.84 PLUS ANY INTEREST AND PENALTIES THAT WERE HELD IN ABEYANCE. SO IT'S GOING TO GO BACK TO THE AMOUNT THAT IT PREVIOUSLY WAS PLUS ANY INTEREST AND PENALTIES. SO IT'S GOING TO GO BACK UP. SO YOU REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET THE REDUCED LIEN AMOUNT PAID IN LET'S SAY 12 MONTHS WITHIN THAT 12-MONTH PERIOD OR LESS. IT'S GOING TO GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT PLUS ADDITIONAL FEES AND INTERESTS AND COSTS. >> UM, I GUESS I WILL BE ASKING FOR THE MAXIMUM TIME, WHATEVER THAT MAY BE. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. THAT IS WHY I WANTED TO EXPLAIN THAT YOU. [00:45:03] WE'RE HERE TODAY TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE. I DON'T WANT YOU TO PUT YOU ON A COURSE. >> IF IT DON'T WORK OUT IN 12 MONTHS, CAN I COME BACK? >> REVERT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL LIEN AMOUNT. SO IN OTHER WORDS, IF SINCE THERE IS NO PAYMENT PLAN, YOU COULD GO AHEAD AND GIVE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, BUT. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: GET PAID OFF IN FULL. THE ONLY OUR THING YOU CAN DO. YOU DO HAVE THE OPTION TO APPEAL THE DECISION THAT I MAKE TODAY TO THE CITY COMMISSION. I DON'T KNOW WHAT DECISION THEY WOULD MAKE. BUT I'M FOLLOWING THE CODE THAT I'M REQUIRED TO FOLLOW AS A SPECIAL MAGISTRATE WITH A LIEN REDUCTION REQUEST AND WITH THE NUISANCE ABATEMENT ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS THAT THE CITY HAS OCCURRED WITH REGARD TO YOUR PROPERTY. I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF LATITUDE BEYOND WHAT I'VE JUST STATED. >> I WOULD RECOMMEND GO WITH THE 12 MONTHS. GIVES YOU SOME TIME TO FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. BUT TIME GOES BY RELATIVELY QUICKLY. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU HAVE TO PLAN FOR IT. IF YOU HAVE FUNDS COMING IN AT CERTAIN TIMES. >> I'M ON A FIXED INCOME. I CAN'T SEE IT,. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU MAY BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR SOME GRANTS OUT THERE. I DON'T KNOW. YOU CAN JUST TELL YOU WHAT I'M REQUIRED TO DO HERE AS SPECIAL MAGISTRATE TODAY FOR YOUR LIEN REDUCTION REQUEST. >> UH-HUH. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: TRY TO GIVE YOU AS MUCH INFORMATION SO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE GOING INTO WITH THIS. CERTAINLYTHIS IS LESS MONEY THAN THE AMOUNT OF THE BALANCE THAT IS OWED. BUT IT DOES NEED TO GET PAID IN THE 12 MONTHS OR IT WILL REVERT BACK AND THE INTEREST AND FEES WILL COMPOUND ON TO THAT. >> SO DO I GET A BREAKDOWN OF HOW THEY COME ONE THAT AMOUNT? >> OF THE 17,000? >> YEAH. THE. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU PUT IN AN ORDER AFTER TODAY'S HEARING THAT THE AMOUNT THAT THE LIEN HAS BEEN REDUCED TO AND THE TIME PERIOD TO PAY IT. AND AGAIN IT'S NOT A MONTHLY PAYMENT PLAN. YOU HAVE A PERIOD OF UP TO 12 MONTHS THAT I CAN PUT IN THE ORDER FOR YOU TO MAKE REPAYMENT. >> MAKE PAYMENTS BUT NOT A PAYMENT PLAN. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: CORRECT. >> LET'S JUST SAY ON A YEAR FROM NOW, ON OCTOBER 5TH OF 2027, YOU SOMEHOW COME UP WITH THE 17,523, BUT YOU DIDN'T GIVE ANYTHING ALL YEAR, BUT YOU HAVE IT ON OCTOBER 5TH. YOU CAN GIVE IT ALL AT ONCE AND IT'S A DONE DEAL. YOU DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO PAY ON A MONTH TO MONTH BASIS. PAY WHATEVER YOU CAN AFFORD WHETHER IT'S EVERY TWO WEEKS, ONCE A WEEK. >> MY THING IS WHEN WE GET CLOSE TO THAT YEAR AND I HAD NOT COME UP WITH ALL THE MONEY. CAN I APPLY FOR MORE TIME OR SPG LIKE THAT. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: NO, NOT THE WAY THE CODE IS SET OUT. THAT IS WHY I'M TRYING TO EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU. SO YOU WANT TO DO YOUR VERY BEST TO PAY THAT OFF IN A 12-MONTH PERIOD. >> AND THE APPEAL TIME? >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WELL YOU WILL HAVE TIME TO APPEAL TODAY'S ORDER. YOU CAN APPEAL TODAY'S ORDER WITHIN 30 DAYS, AND YOU CAN TELL THIS TO THE CITY COMMISSION IF YOU THINK THAT THEY MAY GIVE YOU A DIFFERENT OPTION. I CAN ONLY DO WHAT I CAN AS SPECIAL MAGISTRATE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY MAY OR MAY NOT DO. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WISH TO PRESENT AT THIS TIME? >> NO. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ALL RIGHT. I WILL GO AHEAD AND ORDER THE PROPERTY OWNER TO REIMBURSE THE NUISANCE ABATEMENT ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS TOTALLING 17,523.82 AND WE WILL PUT IN THE ORDER THAT THE TIME FOR REPAYMENT SHALL BE 12 MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF THE ORDER, AND OF COURSE YOU DO HAVE 30 DAYS TO APPEAL THE ORDER ENTERED AT TODAY'S HEARING. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. [1. Case Number: 06-173 Investigating Officer: Isaac Saucedo Violation Location: 904 N 18th St] >> OUR NEXT CASE IS. >> SO THIS ONE HAS MULTIPLE-- >> I'M SORRY. ISAAC.

ISSUE DATE WAS C-AND-G. QUALITY ENTERPRISES. ON AUGUST 19TH. OF 2026 A REQUEST FOR REDUCTION WAS RECEIVED AND THE BALANCE AT THAT TIME WAS 7,195.39. WHETHER THE REQUESTING PARTY IS THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ORIGINAL VIOLATION THAT RESULTED INTO THE LIEN, THAT IS A NO. WHETHER THE REQUESTING PARTY HAS ESTABLISHED AN THE EXISTENCE OF EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT PREVENTED TIMELY COMPLIANCE OR ANY EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SUPPORT THE REDUCTION BELOW THE MINIMUM ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW AMOUNTS PROVIDED IN SPECIAL MAGISTRATE RULE 5.4 (B)(1), THE ANSWER IS YES. WHETHER THERE IS A CURRENT CODE ENFORCEMENT ACTION ON THIS PROPERTY OR ANY OTHER PROPERTY UNDER COMMON OWNERSHIP. YES. 2026-0 00119. THE WHETHER THE GRANTING OF THE REDUCTION IS IN THE BEST TRFT CITY. THAT TO BE DETERMINED BY YOU, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE BUT THE CITY IS REQUESTING THAT THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE ORDER THE PROPERTY TO REIMBURSE THE NUISANCE ABATEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS TOTALLING 5,486.94. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT THAT COST FOR? >> THIS IS A DEMOLITION. THAT IS ALSO GOING TO BE THE TOTAL PRICE, A PART OF IT IS WHAT THE VENDOR CHARGED TO DEMOLISH THE PROPERTY. LET ME GET THE FILE SO I CAN GIVE YOU THE BREAKDOWN. HOLD ON. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. >> I THINK THAT IS HELPFUL FOR THE RECORD AND I THINK IT'S HELPFUL FOR THE RESPONDENT TO UNDERSTAND. >> OF COURSE. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WHERE THAT NUMBER IS COMING FROM. >> SO THE ADMINFEE OF 100. THERE IS THE TOTAL COST OF THE PRICE OF THE DEMOLITION WHICH WAS 3,778.50. THERE IS 6% CHARGE OF 2,762 OR 2,762.05, AND THEN THERE IS THAT 1% PENALTY OF 554 AND 84-POINT WHICH COMES UP TO THE TOTAL OF 7,195.95, AND THEN WHEN WE CALCULATE THAT, WE CAN REDUCE IT >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

AND SO IN THIS CASE, AGAIN BECAUSE IT'S A LIEN REDUCTION, THE BALANCE RUNNING ON THE LIEN AS OF AUGUST 19TH OF 2026, 7,195.39. THE AMOUNT OF ADMINISTRATIVE COST FOR THE NUISANCE ABATEMENT THAT THE CITY IS HAS INCURRED IS 5,486.94. SO THE MOST I CAN REDUCE IT TO IS THE 5,486.94 AS THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE. IN ORDER TO COVER THOSE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS AND THE NUISANCE ABATEMENT FOR PROCESSING THE CASE. TYPICALLY THE AMOUNT WOULD BE OWED WITHIN 60 DAYS, BUT AGAIN COULD BE EXTENDED UP TO 12 MONTHS. I CAN'T GIVE YOU AN ACTUAL PAYMENT PLAN, BUT I CAN GIVE YOU AN ADDITIONAL TIME PERIOD BEYOND THE 60 DAYS IF YOU THINK YOU NEED IT TO MAKE THAT REPAYMENT. IF YOU DON'T MAKE PAYMENT WITHIN THE TOTAL OF 12 MONTHS IF THAT IS THE AMOUNT WE ESTABLISH, IT WILL REVERT BACK TO THE FULL LIEN AMOUNT PLUS COSTS AND INTEREST. HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU THINK YOU NEED FOR PAYMENT. >> 30 DAYS IS OKAY. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WISH TO STATE TODAY? >> YES. THIS ONE WAS FOR THE-- BECAUSE THERE ARE 904 HAS TWO LIENS. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: IS THAT THE SECOND CASE WE'RE GOING TO HEAR. >> YES. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: SO IT'S A SEPARATE CASE. >> SPECIAL CASE, OKAY. QUESTION. YOU SAID IT WAS 3,000 FOR THE DEMO, THE COST. >> 3,778.50. >> AND THEN THE 2,000 WAS FOR? >> 2,000, THAT IS LIKE INTEREST [00:55:03] CHARGE OF 6%. >> FOR HOW MANY YEARS? >> DO YOU KNOW. IT'S AS LONG AS. >> AS THE DEMO STARTED BECAUSE I BOUGHT THIS PROPERTY. >> 2006. >> I BROUGHT THIS PROPERTY IN 2019, I BELIEVE OR SO. SO. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU INHERITED THOSE PROBLEMS, YES. >> WHEN YOU BUY THE LOTS, THEY DON'T TELL YOU THIS INFORMATION, RIGHT, UNLESS YOU DO THE LIEN SEARCH. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YES. >> IF THERE IS LOT-- IF IT'S DIRTY. YOU NEED TO DO THE LANDSCAPING. THERE IS GARBAGE, YOU DO GET ALER, BUT YOU DON'T GET A LETTER FOR LEENS. SO I HAD NO IDEA UNTIL RECENTLY THAT WAS AN ISSUE. >> ANY TIME YOU BUY A PROPERTY, MAKE SURE YOU DO YOUR RESEARH BECAUSE IT COULD BE ATTACHED TO LEENS. >> NOTHING WE COULD DO ABOUT THAT INTEREST RATE. >> NO, WE CAN'T REDUCE IT LESS THAN THE AMOUNT THAT I JUST GAVE YOU. THAT IS PART OF THE ROLES AND PROCEDURES. YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU MENTIONED EARLIER IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH THE 5,000, YOU CAN ALWAYS GO AHEAD AND APPEAL IT. IT WOULD HAVE TO BE PRESENTED IN FRONT OF THE SPECIAL COMMISSION OR THE CITY COMMISSION. I'M SORRY, AND AT THAT POINT, THEY CAN DECIDE HOW TO MOVE FORWARD. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ALL I CAN DO IS REDUCE IT TO 5,486.94. >> THAT IS JUST FOR CASES WHERE WE HAVE TO PAY SOMEBODY TO DO THE WORK. SO IF IT'S ANY OTHER TYPE OF CASE, IT'S HANDLED A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT NUISANCE ABATEMENT CASES, AND THAT IS ANYTHING WHERE THE CITY HIRES SOMEONE TO DO THE JOB. IT'S YOU CAN'T GO LESS THAN THE AMOUNT THAT I JUST GAVE YOU. >> GOT IT. >> YOU STATED 30 DAYS SO IF I PUT PAYMENT IS DUE WITHIN 30 DAYS WITHIN MY ORDER, YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING FURTHER? I'M MAKE MY RULING. I WILL FIND THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER IS ORDERED TO REIMBURSE THE NUISANCE ABATEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS TOTALLING 5,486.94 FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND THE SUBJECT VIOLATION, AND FIND THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER WILL MAKE PAYMENT WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THE ORDER. >> ITS NEXT CASE HAS SEVERAL [2.

THAT IS THE LEAST I CAN REDUCE IT TO. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I MAKE MY RULING ON THIS? >> SO FOR THIS ONE I DIDN'T GET ANY BREAK THE FORMS FOR THE LIEN APPLICATION IS 250 FOR EACH. SO I ALREADY SPENT $500 WITH 904. SO THIS ONE WOULD BE THE SAME THING. I WOULD BE PAYING THE FULL 2,040 BECAUSE I ALREADY PAID 250 PLUS THE 1,783. SO THIS ONE I'M PAYING FOR FULL AMOUNTS. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WHAT IS THE 250 THAT YOU ARE REFERENCING THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID. >> APPLICATION FEE TO COME HERE BEFORE YOU. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OCE. >> IT'S 250 FOR EACH FORM.
