permit number 2401 0220 is an applied status as of January 5th 2024 thank you can you state your name and address for the record please my name is Charles Levy Mary Levy we reside at 1520
Featherstone Way Florida 33133 uh the property address is 2300 Palm Drive okay and your relations with the business aspect of it we are representing Lar have the power of attorney here can you please allow
council to see This is fine okay thank you how can we help you become compliant okay so as you can tell that clubhouse is under construction and basically it's a full remodel that we're doing because the whole community that it's tied to is
was being completely not redone the section of the the golf course recently got reszoned for a residential and part of that resoning was that we had to remodel this complete clubhouse so because we're doing a complete remodel our architect cannot do the 40-year
certification for the structural electrical and I have a letter from the architect here which we already turned it into the building official at at the city until the remodeling is complete which would probably take another 3 to four months he cannot come in and
reertify the structural and electrical as per the 40 requirement so how much of time are you thinking 120 days i think 120 days would be fine if we come to the 90 days and we can't we'll have to come back and ask for
another extension but I think with 120 days we should be fine we're we're pretty much along if you can tell the roof is already getting dried in uh on the picture from February so we should be okay with 120 days if not like I said we'll have to come back within 90 days
and ask for another extension how far are you with so basically with the reertification you've had to go all the way back to scratch correct from my understand we don't have anything done on the reertification because this complete remodeling has to be redone has
to be completed before I can do which would be a a fairly simp basically it's a shell that we're starting all over again and we have to do we gutted the whole building basically so the reertification is going to be fairly easy because the whole thing is brand new except you know they do have to
certify the existing structure all right did okay I get electrical so 120 days will be granted Um now special magistrate there's another case that is being heard today for the
maintenance building of this clubhouse and I don't know if we got to wait for that to come up yeah it has to be in fallen so I'll have to follow along i don't know unless we can run them now can we run it now or we I'm not opposed you're going to be representing that case as well correct yeah okay so let's call that case next and both addresses
are on the power of attorney okay perfect thank you all right so let me let me finish this one and then we'll start on that one um but they're two different Yeah yeah they're two different cases cases all right so we're going to do 120 days
um with a $80 admit fee all right so case number C25200065 the ruling is a 120day extension $80 admit ad $80 ad fee all right we'll get it out in a minute um so that's that ruling go
ahead and we can call the next case slope next days next case item number 10 under new business court officer Chapelli case number C25020058 Lenard Holmes LLC the property was cited on February 10th
2025 for code section violation 6-531 for the 40-year reertification notice of violation was more regular and certified on February 10th 2025 service of the notice of violation was received on February 19 2025 compliant was not met therefore the property was set for
tonight's hearing summon to appear was m regular and certified on March 18 2025 with posting on March 19 2025 currently the property is in violation i took the photographs on February 10th 2025 i was just waiting for someone to
say would I accept it special master please accept the photo submitted as evidence accept it you can't accept something unless you ask to give it to you all right let's move forward how can we come become compliant in this situation so this maintenance bu
this is a maintenance building which is an ancillary use to the clubhouse and it's going to be undergoing uh renovations as well so we were asking for the same 12day extension i don't have any photos to to be able to look at so I there's no photos all right so
basically it's just the mechanical it's where the golf course gets yeah okay the maintenance component all right and you're asking for the same thing are we doing the same thing within that compliance i mean are we gutting it freely and then starting from scratch or
how is that that is not a complete gut that we can actually turn in the 40-year certification in the next you know couple weeks or so we're just waiting for the architect to finish that report he had not done the reports because he was waiting for this to be done but we told him just go ahead and let's get the
the maintenance building out of the way um so that will be turned in so that one we really don't need the 120 days however long it takes the city to review the 40 the 40ear certification okay so I'm only going to go 45 days for that all
right and that's it yes sir so in the case number C250200058 oh yeah that's right right yes i'm gonna repeat it again c250200058 45 days extension $80 administration fee thank you have a

do any fans the neighbors did we don't have doors the will already not start yet so our guys will do the application for the permit but when the citation has been issued nothing has been started over
there so they they will get the approval you know I I'm not doing the fans job the fans company will get the approval go back to one of the pictures that it shows that they're already starting with the with with the work right in there yeah they already started with the work
that's why he got cited okay so apparently the work has begun without having a permit it's not as I know it has not completed it's still You still have to have a permit to start so in order to be able to be compliant a
permit must be pulled first before you start the job yeah i I I hired a company but you just said you did not start the project which one is it did you start it or you didn't start it first of all we we started project i hired the company
okay they told me that they got the permits at that time there was no wood now there is wood i see for the other one we started and he told me that we got the permits and he completed I paid the money but he didn't show me the permits today I received the permit for
the other one but for this one I didn't receive yet i'm going to follow i need a time to follow up with defense company to get the job done and to pull the permit but this is my first time i'm a real estate broker but I didn't do a
fence job here to this you know community for this is a new community so I hired another third party which this is the first time I'm here to to be majesty with you you know I never experienced this before okay okay so it
is your job as the owner of your properties to make sure you become compliant not the company you hire all right so it is your responsibility to make sure that you provide the proof of
what's going on because what you just did I'm not for it you don't tell me that you have not started something and then the evidence is right here before me to show me that you started so it's your job not the company's job all right this is your responsibility all right so
with that being said and done I'm going to give you an extension please but make sure you as the owner of your property know what's going on at all times yes okay yes um one thing I don't tolerate is to come in and tell me something and then I'm looking at what it is in front

item item number three under previously heard code officer Valencia case number C24207 seria Holdings forth Inc kevin Kevin King the property was heard on 620 of 2024
and they were given until 628 of 2024 for property address 218 Northeast A Street for code section 6-36 fell into obtaining a permit required by code for work done on the premises what they did they installed two exterior doors and
plumbing work affidavit and non-compliance was sent regular and certified on 319 of 2024 i took the photographs on for 10 of 2024 the photos for current represent what was observed special master please
accept the photo submitted as a evidence accept it as of today uh there's no permits they haven't applied for any other two permits all right can we get your name and
address please sir uh my name is Kevin King uh business address is 218 Northeast 8 Street Homestead Florida 33030 all right how can we help you become compliant um my construction company already submitting everything and we
have all the inspection done with the CO coming out already so I don't Please pass that over to As far as I know you are the the business he's right he is not the owner of the property was because we
spoke in the past he is the person there's opening that business in there so the the the property owner needs to be here in order to be able to file compliance with what the city is
asking yes do you have a power of attorney to be um their representative nope okay so you need a power attorney okay so this permits the ones that he just handled me has nothing to do with
uh the two doors and the plumbing this is electrical this is just plumbing but for inside and this other one is for replacing new floor tiles has nothing to do with that
okay in order for you to be able to be compliant first you have to have the owner of the building to be able to give you authorization one two um and what you are being held for today has nothing
to do with what you have your permits for is for the exterior being altered you understand what I'm saying um and so um my advice to you is to be able to get with your code enforcer because there's
multiple things that has to be outlined in order to be able to come compliant all right the longer you take the longer it's the more it's going to cost okay um before I come in here when I received the email from the name and I because I
don't know anything about the permitting so I called my construction company manager he told me he put everything on the general permit so everything should be there so I might just have to call him to confirm exactly so um get with your code
enforcement allow them to be able to help map you into the right direction so that you would be informed to understand how the process goes all right um how much of time do you think you need for you to be able to get this done
personally I don't know so if Nate do not have the permit for the exterior door that shows in the picture I should be able to tell him to put it in within a week but I don't know how long the process for the CO stand but you still need to get with the building owner to
get authorization as well as a uh some permission to be able to be for them to come together with you to do this so can I just have contact my writing an indicating they allow me
to bring to a door yes and your landlord should know the process because he owns the building then after I get the permission from them do I still also do subitting permit yes everything's done with all with your with the building owner and you you should be able to come compliant all
right because he should know the process your contractor should know the process okay all right so I'm going to give you 45 days to come into compliance all right um this is a previous hearing so
uh I'm giving you these 45 days but after these 45 days you will start occurring uh a cost all right i'm so sorry last time when I was here I was totally misunderstood i thought soon as I get the permit out everything will be okay so okay so there
there is a process so follow the process with your building owner so that you can be on the right track all right i I don't want you to have to come back and start accuring daily costs because it could lead to that you know um I'm going to give you 45 more days to come
compliant because I see you're trying um and then after this um you will start to accure a daily fine okay all right in case number C
240 4207 that's the right case uh $8 administration fee 45 days to come compliant after those 45 days it would
be a daily fine it could be a daily fine after these 45 days a daily fine that is correct the we would set the uh adjudication date uh after the fine set right so uh if this is the first hearing
um we set the fine amount and then on the second hearing we will ratify the fines uh correct me if I'm wrong uh council so yeah we would bring it back for certification hearing okay so 45 days after those 45 days $50 a day until the
fine until it is compliant so if it's not compliant code enforcement will bring it back yes correct and then for each day that is out of compliance it's $50 and case number
C 24 04207 $80 administration fee today 45 days to come compliant $50 a daily fine after which thank you have a great day

be for dumping bulk trash illegally on the city rightway service of the service was received the citation was mailed certified and a prop property was posted uh there there was no contact with the owner the citation has not been paid and
the violation was corrected by the solid waste department uh with the posting date of March 26 2025 the photos and videos fairly accurately represent what was observed special master please accept the photos submitted as evidence accepted uh special master what this
what what this is was a illegal dumping caught on video and the vehicle that uh dumped the trash on the rightway uh was located at 720 Southwest 10th
Avenue all right is the video able to be played yes may you share at this moment we don't have a a video all right is there a video on file based on the testimony of officer uh Palmer there is however right now
there's technical difficulties to play the video okay but we do have one yes all right can you please state your name and address ma'am state your name and address i I didn't hear you spanish please okay translator
okay and Marisa I hear her okay it's correct can she state her address [Music] all right can does she understand that this is caught on video and it is not
just a citation just by the code enforcement but it is caught on video can you please uh explain that to her [Music] yes can you also tell her that this is a $1,000 fine
if she looks at the last paragraph on her citation it will tell her that this is a fine that's maximum civil prison of $1,000 if she paid if she would have paid it before she came which was a $500 fine then it would have been $500 uh she's in front of the magistrate now it
is a $1,000 fund [Music] here well I've never gotten a ticket and as you see uh it has two different addresses right here and well if I have to pay for the fine uh I guess I would
have to pay it but I've never done I've never gotten a fine like this before so this is a fine based upon video she has been video the car in which it was dumped out of has been traced back to this here so it They have nothing to
deal with the addresses inside it has everything to deal with the video footage that is traced back to the car in which this was dumped out of so as I stated this is a $1,000 fine uh she's requesting to see the
video please the officer is in the process of trying to pull it up on the laptop behind us okay [Music] in the video um are you able to see the tag and the date because uh at that date
I didn't have any cars under my name right now I do own two vehicles two new vehicles that are under my name but back then I didn't at this time the officer is in the process of putting up the footage and we'll share that shortly
okay [Music] this is your is ask her is this her two vehicles that is in her yard no is this your house okay
do you know those people that's parked in your front of your house that's in this car that's parked at your house no but the car is parked at your house and you say that that is your resident so this is your house and those are not
your cars in the front of your house in your front of your house do you know that's your house [Music] but the car is parked at your house and you say that that is your resident
so this is your house and those are not your cars in the front of your house do you [Music] know can you Hello
hello okay that's what I was wondering too i wasn't sure if it was just mine can you Hello hello okay that's what I was wondering too okay okay
so there again I'm going to ask you this one more time you're stating she's stating that this vehicle which is parked at her house is parked in a vacant lot next to her house and she doesn't know who these young men
are at this house [Music] so if we pull Pull a tag from this car and it shows no relations to nobody you got there at your house no uh no I don't know them
and this is the interpreter um the audio is still uh kind of like backed up so she did tell me earlier that there's a lot of people that parked on that vacant lot was there was there uh any in those that
garbage that clarifies that this address is identified with the same address that we're giving a citation farmer in inside of the the the inside of the garbage was there anything that identified the address of
this citation that's the only way I could be able to say that this came from that place there was an address inside of the garbage that identifies where this stuff came from right
that's one of the ways circumstantial evidence just I mean that so let me let the inspector respond well special matter there was no name identified but with
the video evidence I basically did a investigation around the area and found the same van on video parked um basically at the where the
photo show the uh the van so my my my problem is coming to a decision because she's stating that people park in the vacant lot which okay however
um I can't charge her with this because it's not really any substance for me to say this is her trash and I if if the trash had her address in it and all this other stuff yes I could charge for the citation
however I mean she brings a valid point up someone could just be parking in that vacant lot at this park i looked up that vac that vaccine and you could kind of see the property line from where she owns uh
that's cut off by that wooden fence um to me it's clear based on video that's the one that you bring up that nexus i don't I
haven't seen anything on that nexus as far as her property that they're just if we could allow more for the translator to translate that for the res
sorry translator can you please uh provide some translations for Yes uh yes uh I can give her a brief uh statement of what was said or would you like me to repeat everything as stated
the best translations of your ability okay all right in being able to be fair and just with this ruling there is not enough evidence to prove um for her to be held liable for this um
some good tools for her to use if you can translate this is to make sure that she calls for someone parking on that vacant lot because she could be held liable um for anything that may happen in that
percentage area she see today so this this could be this could have been a fine in which you may have not committed the crime but because a car is associated next to you you could be held
liable could have been held liable so today what I'm going to do make a ruling is um to just void this citation And there's there's no calls to her [Music]

today so currently the property is in violation okay uh I took the photographs on February 13th and April five days to come administration special as I stated I did speak with
today I can't put a daily file on this if they don't come compliant after five days I just have not had a chance to speak I have to wait until it comes back well you could establish an actual fine amount now and set a compliance date and
then when they come back the fines will be ratified to the date that you gave them so the deadline so you could set that uh standard um typically most cities they actually set the fine amount on the first hearing and then they just ratify on the second hearing that's what
I did some research and I was thank that I'm thankful that you brought that clarification because normally we just send set the administration fee and then a date to be compliant but then what happens when that date is not in compliance so I think that it is
possible for me to set an expiration date and then a cure fines after that date and I'm not that's what has been said correct yes and then you would just ratify it on the second hearing you would say uh we're going to ratify the fines as of the final reinspection date or sorry uh the compliance deadline that
you set previously okay all right i just wanted to make sure that because it it makes no sense for us to say you have 5 days and then we come back 10 days and you still haven't done anything so I just want to
make sure okay correct uh 80 I'm giving five days to be able to clean this up um $80 administration fee a day after the five days $75 a day that each day that they're in they're not compliant all right that's after we come back
did I say that right i'll confer to the attorney for the official recommendation it's basically failure to comply with your order which includes that time frame and then you would just ratify it second all right and case number

but Okay um and they need extra time um yes Lord they gonna need some extra time all right i get it together and case number C250318
[Music] I know I'm going to get in trouble for this but y'all I I just had to uh I had to take a moment and get a laughter laughter is good for the soul and um so with this being said uh I'm
gonna give them 90 days to be able to find out who going to do the interior decorating i'm sorry i know we're on public $80 administration fee to be able to come complant within 90
days so case number C2503 018 johnson you got the cake today that one there you You won it today thank you all right thank you i am so sorry y'all but
that was too funny for me i know I'm gonna get in trouble for this y'all next case is that only like three walls cuz that ain't even four corners correct all right i'm trying to figure out what they trying to save there so with this being
said never down a man's dream right all right sir I'm sorry yes you need me to redo it again no is
there a fine after the 90 days no they gonna need more than to find help because uh they gonna have to figure out this this is going to be like a puzzle piece so uh I'm get I'm trying to give them 90 days to figure out which way they going to go because look like they going to have to tear all this down
anyway i mean from the looks of it please give me some advice they could potentially be holding the shell of the property for tax purposes um that's the longest shot in North Miami we had and even Miami Beach they they would have uh
homes pretty much redeveloped and they would keep one existing wall but that's for historic right yes u but it also goes into the fact of of the taxing purposes but I digress uh for this my recommendation would be um if if allowable uh if we can impose a daily
fine as the conditions of this property is pretty severe in purpose uh it does bring significant blight to the community and and it does uh depreciate the surrounding property so my recommendation will be uh a fine set amount along with the 90 days i'm trying
to give them 90 days to figure out which way they go council can does does this look like back to the enforcer does this look like it's safety a safety nuisance as well i mean
when you looked at it what what was your views on it cuz I see the walls are being held up with reinforcement but sticks yeah 2x4s look like it um but from your view when you viewed the
property do you see it as an safety hazard yes it could be i know when I inspected the property I did see children out there it wasn't on the property but you know just for clarification we actually even requested that they install a fence and
all they did was put up the stilt round which is great for sedimentation purposes if they would installed it correctly in this case they didn't even install the steel fence correctly so it's not controlling any sedimentation so really right now it poses a hazard where uh as as Officer Johnson mentioned
we could have children potentially wander onto the property they could potentially knock over some of those supports and the wall could collapse and I would I would hate for that to not be addressed that's that's my point of view um in addition to as I mentioned the
blight and the depreciation the surrounding properties as well this is pretty close to a school actually uh there's an elementary school pretty close to this uh within two blocks uh Officer Johnson correct correct what school is this
um it's off 11 street closer towards US1 i'm not familiar with the name but I know it is a school that way so I'm going to retract my my my um I didn't give anything yet did I did I
gave already 90 days you gave him 90 days um but we haven't officially ruled on the the property we're still in discussion so you can change your mind if you'd like um but we would definitely like a fine set amount at least that's the recommendation of the city obviously it's at your discretion so we want to go
back because of the the severess of it and it's around where it is in a school zone in a residential area so we're going to retract the 90 days and go with 30 days to be able to come into compliance after the 30 days there will
be a $75 a day uh fine until they become compliant um and so we'll go with that so in case number C25030118
GH properties LLC $80 administration fee for today 30 days to come compliance after the 30 days of non-compliance coming into non-compliance is $75 a day which will go into effect in April no
May the 15th whatever May the what is it May whatever the May 11th retract the 90 days and go with 30 days to be able to come into compant after the 30 days there will be a $75 a
day there's a different level of enforcement but the building official would have to get involved so I mean it's outside of code enforcement so it could if the building official feels that this is an unsafe structure they could they can go that way and I believe this was already referred
to the building official although that was the previous building official we have one that started about two weeks ago um so we'll resend it to the new building official to see where we're at in that it could be that they already prepared the case file to take it to the unsafe structure board there is accompanying enforcement on
that side effect because this is unsafe whatever next case last case item number 30 under new business code officer Johnson case number C25 03 0164
Brian E special cannot table this case due to service that's that concludes our agenda meeting a journ at 4:15 p.m it could be that they already Are we off record now are we off
