THE FOLLOWING OF THAT, WE DID RECEIVE A REQUEST FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER REQUESTING A MASSEY HEARING STATING THAT THEY ARE WORKING WITH A DIFFERENT CONTRACTOR TO OBTAIN A PERMIT FOR THE PAVING.

COINCIDENTALLY, BOTH OF THESE PROPERTY OWNERS HIRED THE SAME CONTRACTOR THAT INITIALLY DID THE PAVING WITHOUT A PERMIT AND ARE NOW WORKING WITH THE SAME CONTRACTOR TO BRING THE PROPERTIES IN COMPLIANCE.

YOU. >>MALE SPEAKER: THANK YOU.

NEW JOB BEGINS: 00:15:52 >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: SO.

>>MALE SPEAKER: STUART FLORIDA,. THE VIOLATIONS OF THE PROPERTY ARE PERMIT REQUIRED. THIS MATTER CAME BEFORE YOU OCTOBER 18, 2019. YOU PROVIDED 60 DAYS TO OBTAIN A PERMIT, COMPLY WITH ALL CONDITIONS OR A FINE OF $100 PER DAY WOULD BE ASSESSED. ON JANUARY 2, 2020, AND INSPECTION REVEALED THAT NO PERMITS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. THE AFFIDAVIT OF NONCOMPLIANCE WAS RECORDED IN THE FINES BEGAN.

SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THIS CASE ORIGINALLY INITIATED BACK IN APRIL APRIL 2019. IT WAS AN UNLICENSED CONTRACTOR THAT WAS ON-SITE DOING WORK. STAFF ISSUED CITATIONS TO THE UNLICENSED CONTRACTOR AND ISSUED A STOP WORK ORDER AS WELL.

THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, AT THAT POINT, HIRED A DIFFERENT CONTRACTOR TO TAKE OVER THE PROJECT TO OBTAIN PERMITS AND TO START WORKING AGAIN. AND UNFORTUNATELY, IN JUNE 2019, THE SECOND CONTRACTOR BEGAN DOING WORK AGAIN WITHOUT PROPER PERMITS. SO A SECOND STOP WORK ORDER WAS ISSUED. SO IN THIS MATTER CAME BEFORE YOU IN IN OCTOBER 2013, STAFF WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THERE WAS 1/3 CONTRACTOR, WHICH THERE WAS, THAT HAD APPLIED FOR THE PERMITS. HOWEVER, THEY WERE KIND OF CEASED. THERE WAS NO OTHER ACTIVITY DONE BY THE CONTRACTOR. DURING THE SAME TIME, THERE WAS A SEPARATE CODE ENFORCEMENT CASE -- OFFICER DAWSON, WHO HAD CONTACTED THE PROPERTY OWNER AND THEY SPOKE REGARDING THE VIOLATION CASE.

AND OF COURSE THE PROPERTY OWNER MISUNDERSTOOD THINKING THAT MR. DAWSON GAVE AN EXTENSION THAT WAS IN REGARD TO THIS CASE AS WELL. SO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF MISUNDERSTANDING THERE AND DUE TO THAT, STAFF IS AGREEABLE TO STOPPING THE FINES FOR A PERIOD OF 60 DAYS -- I'M SORRY -- 90 DAYS TO ALLOW THE OWNER WHO IS WORKING WITH A NEW CONTRACTOR, A FORCE CONTRACTOR, TO TRY TO BRING THIS PROPERTY IN COMPLIANCE.

LAST WEEK I SPOKE WITH A NEW CONTRACTOR I BELIEVE ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS YEAR-END THEY

ARE TAKING IMPROPER ACTIONS. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ANYTHING

FURTHER? >>MALE SPEAKER: NOT AT THIS

TIME. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ANYONE

HERE ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY? >>MALE SPEAKER: YES, SIR.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME FORWARD, SIR?

>>THE CLERK: (WHEREUPON, THE WITNESS WAS SWORN.)

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU HEARD THE RECOMMENDATION MADE BY MR. COSS TO STOP THE FINES FOR 90 DAY TO ALLOW THIS THIRD CONTRACTOR TO OBTAIN A PERMIT TO GET THE WORK DONE?

>>MALE SPEAKER: THAT IS CORRECT. I'VE BEEN SPEAKING WITH MR. JULIN AND HE IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES. THAT THIRD CONTRACTOR CAME BEFORE THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE IN AUGUST ALSO, BUT AGAIN, FAILED TO SUBMIT THE PERMITS IN A TIMELY MANNER.

AND SINCE I AM AT THE MERCY OF THOSE CONTRACTORS -- SINCE I'M A CORPORATION -- WE BEEN WORKING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUES. I DID SPEAK TO MR. DAWSON WHO INFORMED ME THAT I HAD 90 DAYS TO CURE THE VIOLATIONS, BUT THAT WAS A COURT ENFORCEMENT AND NOT THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING VIOLATION, WHICH THERE WAS A MISUNDERSTANDING.

I AM AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND WE HAVE FOUND SOMEBODY TO NOW ACTUALLY GET THIS WORK DONE AND

GET THE PERMITS FILED FOR US. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY.

ANYTHING FURTHER? >>MALE SPEAKER: NO.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ARRAY. BASED ON THE EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY PRESENTED, I WILL STOP THE FINES FOR 90 DAYS TO ALLOW YOU TO GET GOING WITH THIS NEW CONTRACTOR.

>>MALE SPEAKER: THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: GOOD LUCK.

[A. 18-1806 707 N 23rd Street Walker, Calvin Shaun Coss]

>>THE CLERK: THE NEXT CASE IS SEVEN >>THE CLERK: THE NEXT CASE IS 7A. THE ADDRESS IS 707 NORTH 23RD STREET CALVIN WALKER IS THE OWNER.

[00:20:04]

>>MALE SPEAKER: THIS IS CASE AGE18-1806. THE PROPERTY IS OWNED BY CALVIN WALKER OF 3300 SW. 56 STREET, MIRAMAR FLORIDA, 33023.

THE VIOLATIONS OF THE PROPERTY WHERE THE INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE 603.1, MECHANICAL WOMEN. 605.1, ELECTRICAL PLUMBING. AND 504.1 PLUMBING FIXTURES.

THIS MATTER CAME BEFORE YOU JANUARY 16,OF 3300 SW. 56 STREET, MIRAMAR FLORIDA, 33023.

THE VIOLATIONS OF THE PROPERTY WHERE THE INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE 603.1, MECHANICAL WOMEN. 605.1, ELECTRICAL PLUMBING. AND 504.1 PLUMBING FIXTURES.

THIS MATTER CAME BEFORE YOU JANUARY 16, 2019 AND AN ORDER DETERMINING VIOLATION WAS ENTERED PROVIDING 60 DAYS TO OBTAIN A PERMIT AND COMPLY WITH ALL PERMIT CONDITIONS. ON MARCH 19, 2019, AN ADMINISTRATIVE CHECK OF THE RECORDS REVEALED THAT THERE WERE NO PERMITS THAT HAD BEEN ISSUED. SOME OF THE WORK WAS DONE AND INSPECTED AT THAT POINT. HOWEVER, THE PREVIOUS PERMITS THAT WERE ISSUED HAD EXPIRED AND WERE NOT RENEWED.

AFFIDAVIT OF NONCOMPLIANCE WAS RECORDED IN THE FINES BEGAN.

A REQUEST FOR INSPECTION WAS MADE ON JANUARY 6, 2020 AND THE PROPERTY WAS INSPECTED AND FOUND TO BE IN COMPLIANCE. AN AFFIDAVIT OF COMPLAINTS DATED JANUARY 6, 2020 WAS RECORDED.

THE FINES WERE STOPPED AS OF THAT DAY AT A TOTAL OF $29,340, WHICH INCLUDES $40 IN RECORDING FEES. LET'S GO OVER THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS IN THIS CASE. $1537.18. THERE WERE SEVEN CRITERIA FOR THIS REDUCTION. THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE RELATION IS MINOR. ANY AND ALL ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE VIOLATOR TO CORRECT THE VIOLATIONS. PERMITS WERE ISSUED AND THE WORK WAS DONE UNDER THE PERMITS TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE. THE LENGTH OF TIME NECESSARY TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE WAS ONE YEAR, FIVE MONTHS. THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE VIOLATOR WAS PREVIOUSLY FOUND IN VIOLATION BY EITHER THE CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD OR SPECIAL MAGISTRATE OR OTHER PROCESS WAS ZERO. THE NUMBER OF PREVIOUS VIOLATION NOTICES THE VIOLATOR HAD RECEIVED IN THE PAST AS WELL AS THE NATURE AND DISPOSITION OF EACH. THE SUPPLY OF CLOSE -- WHETHER TO WHAT EXTENT THERE ARE EXTENUATING FACTORS PREVENTING TIMELY COMPLIANCE SUCH AS UNAVOIDABLE PERSONAL HARDSHIP. PROPERTY OWNER CLAIMS THAT HE DID NOT RECEIVE THE INITIAL NOTICE IS DUE TO A CHANGE OF ADDRESS. AND WHETHER TO WHAT EXTENT THERE ARE PENDING VIOLATION PROCEEDINGS ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OR ANY OTHER PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY OWNED BY THE RESPONDENT, THERE ARE NONE.

SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THE ADDRESS ISSUE, THE OWNER CHANGED THE ADDRESS WITH THE TAX COLLECTOR AND PROPERTY APPRAISER AFTER THE FINES HAS STARTED. PROPER NOTICE WAS SERVED TO THE PROPERTY OWNER IN REGARDS TO THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND THE MASSEY NOTICE.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. AS MR. WALKER HERE?

>>MALE SPEAKER: YES, MA'AM. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: COME FORWARD, PLEASE. GOOD MORNING.

>>MALE SPEAKER: GOOD MORNING. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WOULD YOU RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND BE SWORN, PLEASE?

>>THE CLERK: (WHEREUPON, THE WITNESS WAS SWORN.).

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THE ALLEGATIONS? YOUR FINES TOTAL $29,340.

THAT INCLUDES THE $40 RECORDING FEE.

>>MALE SPEAKER: OKAY. WELL, I DIDN'T SAY THAT I -- I DID NOT GET THE NOTICE. WE HAVE A TENANT, WHICH I EVICTED THEM. THEY ARE THE ONE THEY CALL IT. SO THEY -- I DID NOT GET THE NOTICE. I GET A NOTICE LIKE DECEMBER, I THINK. AND WHY GET THIS NOTICE -- BECAUSE I HAVE A NEW TENANT. I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IT FOR MANY MONTHS. I GET THE NEW TENANT IN DECEMBER A FEW MONTHS BEFORE DECEMBER. CARLOS -- WHEN I WENT THERE TO PICK UP, THEY GIVE ME A PAPER THAT SAY THEY'RE NOT PAYING A RATE.

I SAID WHEN YOU'RE PAYING THE RENT? THEY SAID NO BECAUSE THEY GET THE PAPER THAT THE OWNERS CAN BE IN FORECLOSURE. I SAY THAT I KNOW -- I'M GONNA BE IN FORECLOSURE? THEY SAID I LOOKED IT UP. I SAID WHAT? SO I GOT THE PAPERS AND I COME

[00:25:01]

AND PLUS, MY ADDRESS IS NOT MIRAMAR. IT'S 3200 -- YOU. HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA WOULD.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: IT SAYS MIRAMAR. IS THAT THE SAME IS HOLLYWOOD?

>> MIRAMAR IS NEAR HOLLYWOOD. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY PUT MIRAMAR.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I KNOW THEY'RE DIFFERENT CITIES, SO IS YOUR ADDRESSING MIRAMAR OR

HOLLYWOOD FLORIDA? >>MALE SPEAKER: HOLLYWOOD.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HOLD ON. I CAN CHECK WITH THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE TO SEE IF MIRAMAR IS AN ACCEPTABLE ADDRESS. HOWEVER, THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE IN THIS CASE. THE ISSUE WAS THE ORIGINAL ADDRESS WAS 707 NORTH 23RD STREET FORT PIERCE, FLORIDA 34950. THAT IS WHERE ALL THE NOTICES WERE MAILED PROPERLY.

AND IT WASN'T UNTIL AGAIN, AFTER THE FINES HAD STARTED THAT THE ADDRESS WAS CHANGED LOOKING AT THE PROPERTY APPRAISER RECORD IT DOES SHOW HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA. SO THAT WOULD BE A COMPUTER ISSUE ON OUR PART.

BUT AGAIN, WE COULD CHECK RIGHT NOW AND SEE IF MIRAMAR IS AN ACCEPTABLE ADDRESS.

BUT THE ONLY NOTICE I WOULD HAVE BEEN SENT TO THAT ADDRESS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE NOTICE OF

LIEN. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY.

SO, HOW -- HOW DO EXCEPT -- EXPECT TO RESOLVE THIS? YOUR FINES ARE 29,003 OR $40?

>>MALE SPEAKER: RIGHT. AS I SAY -- EVEN -- EVEN WHEN I GO -- I NEVER -- WE NEVER LIVE.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: LET ME INTERRUPT YOU. YOU OWN THE PROPERTY, RIGHT? DO YOU OWN

THE PROPERTY? >>MALE SPEAKER: MY BROTHER. I

AM THE CODE -- >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THE OWNER IS CALVIN WALKER. IS THAT YOU?

>>MALE SPEAKER: NO. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WHERE IS

CALVIN WALKER? >>MALE SPEAKER: YOU DON'T LIVE IN THE COUNTRY. I'M THE ONE THAT LOOK OVER EVERYTHING. BOTH OF US HAVE THE SAME

ADDRESS HERE, >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY.

>>MALE SPEAKER: WHENEVER LIVE AT THE PROPERTY. ONLY WHEN WE CAN GET A RENTED.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THIS TENANT CALLED IN A COMPLAINT IS THAT CORRECT OR A TENANT CALLED

IN A COMPLAINT. >>MALE SPEAKER: CORRECT.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HAD TO -- >>MALE SPEAKER: THEY GIVE US

NOTHING. THE PAPER. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: SO, AS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, YOUR OBLIGATION TO MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY WHETHER THE TENANT COMPLAINS OR NOT. YOU SHOULD HAVE SOMEBODY CHECKING ON THAT PROPERTY TO SEE IF THE TENANT IS MAINTAINING IT. AND IF YOU DON'T -- AND IF HE COMES IN DISREPAIR OR SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONS BECAUSE YOU ARE THE OWNER, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE.

>>MALE SPEAKER: EYE TO GET HER ENTIRE EVERYTHING, THEY SAY -- I GUESS BECAUSE THEY GAVE THE

TENANT AND EVICTION NOTICE. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: SERVER -- I HATE INTERRUPTING PEOPLE. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THE TENANT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO HAVE CALLED IN THIS COMPLAINT. IT'S YOUR PROPERTY. YOU SHOULD HAVE MAINTAINED IT. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS. THE TENTACLED IN THE COMPLAINT.

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT. >>MALE SPEAKER: OKAY.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: NOW, THE CITY IS SAYING THAT YOU OWE $29,340. WHAT IS -- WHAT ARE YOU ASKING ME TO DO HERE TODAY?

>>MALE SPEAKER: I SAY -- I SAY THAT MUCH MONEY I SAY I DOUBT -- $400. I STAY IN PLACE SAYING HOW MUCH CAN THEY PAY? AND I HAD A SIGN ON IT THAT SAID LIKE $400.

RIGHT NOW, THE TENANT -- I WAS GIVEN THE PAPER IN DECEMBER. THEY DON'T PAY. THEY SAY THEY DON'T PAY -- THEY'RE NOT PAYING RENT. THEY'LL PAY LAST MONTH IT'LL PAY THIS MONTH. I HAVE TO GO GIVE THEM MY EVICTION NOTICE. SO I DON'T GET ANY MONEY OFF IT.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

MR. COSS -- OKAY. MR. CROSS, DO YOU HAVE A RECOMMENDATION?

>>MALE SPEAKER: $400 WOULD NOT COVER THE ADMINISTRATIVE COST. THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO REDUCE ALL INTO $2000. AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, THERE IS A LIST OF EIGHT ADDRESSES ON THE US1 POSTAL SERVICE WEBSITE. ONE OF THE ACCEPTABLE ADDRESS

THIS IS MIRAMAR, FLORIDA. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WHAT IS YOUR CORRECT ADDRESS? HOLD ON. RIGHT ON SOME PAPER. WRITE IT DOWN FOR THEM.

>>MALE SPEAKER: OKAY. I NEVER LIVING MIRAMAR.

[00:30:57]

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU UNDERSTAND THAT AGAIN, THE FINES TOTAL $29,340 THE CITY IS AMENABLE TO REDUCING THIS FINE TO $2000. DO YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE?

>> I AGREE. BUT AS I SAID, IF I'VE BEEN NO, -- WHEN I -- CAN I SAY SOMETHING MORE? SURE.

YOU'RE DIGGING A DEEPER HOLE I'LL TELL YOU THAT.

>> WHEN I -- WHEN I GET THE PAPER IN DECEMBER I GO RIGHT -- ELIZABETH. SO, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING AFTER WHEN I TELL THEM, LOOK AT IT BECAUSE IT'S ALL ALONG.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: SIR, IT MAY HAVE BEEN FIXED TO YOUR SATISFACTION. IT DID NOT COMPLY WITH THE CODE. NOW I -- SIR, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON, OKAY? WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON.

YOU CAN ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE CITY TO REDUCE THIS TO $2000 AS $29,340 THAT IT IS. I'M NOT TRYING VIEWED -- FOR SHE TO DO ANYTHING.

>>MALE SPEAKER: SO, CAN I GET A TIME -- SOME TIME TO PAY IT BECAUSE WE DON'T GET ANY RENT?

CAN I GET SOME TIME? >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: LET ME MAKE SOMETHING CLEAR TO YOU WHAT DID YOU GET RENT OR NOT YOU OWN THE PROPERTY IN YOUR RESPONSIBLE FOR. YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN IT. SO DON'T TELL ME ABOUT A TENANT.

>>MALE SPEAKER: NO I'M NOT -- >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HOLD ON.

IF YOUR PROPERTY WAS UP TO PAR, WE WOULDN'T BE HERE TALKING ABOUT IT. SO, PLEASE, LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THAT ANYMORE. THE HOMAGE TIME, MR. COSS?

>>MALE SPEAKER: TIME WITH MY TENANT. TIME. I CAN GET SOME TIME. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT

THAT. >>MALE SPEAKER: WOULD 90 DAYS

BE SUFFICIENT TIME, SIR? >>MALE SPEAKER: I THINK I NEED

MORE. >>MALE SPEAKER: HOW MUCH TIME

DO YOU NEED? >>MALE SPEAKER: LIKE TWO

MONTHS? >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WAIT A

MINUTE. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HOLDER.

LET'S BACK UP. ALL RIGHT. 90 DAYS IS THREE-MONTH.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: DO YOU NEED SIX MONTHS?

>>MALE SPEAKER: SIX MONTH. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: CAN YOU PAY WITHIN SIX MONTHS? BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, IT WILL REVERT BACK TO THE 29,000.

>>MALE SPEAKER: I PAID IN THE SIX MONTHS.

>>MALE SPEAKER: STAFF IS AGREEABLE TO SIX-MONTH.

>>MALE SPEAKER: OKAY. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THE BASED ON THE STIPULATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES, I WILL REDUCE THIS LIEN TO $2000. YOU HAVE SIX MONTHS TO PAY. YOU NEED TO SET UP A PAYMENT PLAN WITH THE CITY.

AND YOU CAN GET THE INFORMATION BEFORE YOU LEAVE YOUR NEW NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE CORRECT ADDRESS. IF IT'S MIRAMAR OR HOLLYWOOD. I DON'T NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT. YOU NEED TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT SO THAT WE HAVE THE CORRECT ADDRESS.
