And the inspector for all these cases is Miss China Sanders. All right. Miss Anders, we can't hear you. >> You might hear me. >> Okay. Can you hear me now? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. Shannon Sanders, neighborhood
service inspector for for the first case, CEXP 2023000031. This is a new case that was originally cited May 26, 2023. Um, while out doing my um
annual house at doing an an annual housing inspection, inspected the entire building. At that time, I observed the exterior walls that were in need of um a little cleaning. They were had chips thing um chipped paint, mildew, um
paint, things of that nature. I posted the property with the annual housing inspection and asked that they pressure clean and possibly touch it up with a fresh can of paint as of my reinspection. Some of the building has been painted um
and treated, but there's other parts of it that still remains in need of cleaning. Let's um I'm I'm sorry. Go ahead. >> All right, sir. Where are we with the um >> Well, we we did that back way back then,
but the reality is the building has never been painted for a long time. So, we had to pass a special assessment to repair all the things also on the building. As of now, they are painting the building. I have some pictures here. They started the job on Friday
and uh they already have some of the the primer coat on it. I have a picture here to show the inspect. She needs to see it, but I'm sure she can go by that drive. The building should be painted by the the end of the the coming week. >> Okay. >> You know, since was a very expensive
thing, you know, we had to pass a special assessment to do all these things. And and if I can, I'm going to ask um is when it being a commercial property, I'm looking at the history. I don't see a permit application submitted for the
painting. Did you submit a paint approval um permit to the development services department? >> No, not that I know. I didn't know it's required. I got the painter and he's got a license and everything. He paint prior
buildings for me. So I if it's required I guess I'm going to ask him to go pull one. >> Yes. With it being a commercial property a painting permit is required. [Music] >> Okay. I'll tell him.
>> Move on to the next case. >> Um for the next case it is C F AW202300123. That is also a new case that was um originally cited that same day, February 26, 2023. While doing my annual housing inspection, I observed a black fence on
the south side of the property that was partially falling down. There's a black green screen that's also attached to it that um was detached and um hanging as you see in the pictures depicted. I um
noted it on my annual housing inspector mailed um notice to the property. I have not heard any um thing from them or had any conversations with them prior to today as of my last reinspection on August 19th. The fence still remains in
disrepair and needs to be properly repaired or replaced. Yeah, that has been repaired and replaced. I have said the parts that were missing. I have the pictures I can show the inspector my video pictures.
>> All right. >> The next case, um, CE um, FOB 202300487. I'll hear that case along with the certificate of use case cuz they kind of run together. That case number is C E
ZCU 2023 00816. While doing my annual housing inspection on May 26, 2023, I um looked into the computer to see if there was a um if the
building had obtained their certificate of use and business tax receipt at the time of inspection. I noticed that they did not have one at all. I noted it, cited it, mailed notices to the business um and the
listing agents. I have not heard anything or had any contact with anyone from this building other than today. Um, as of my last reinspection on August 19th, 2025, there is still no certificate of use in or business tax
receipt for um this building or apartment building. >> Since 2023. >> Since 2023. Yes. I see. Um, and I want to make note I see
Raphael Padron, the coordinator for the business tax receipt office is raising his hand. So, he might want to give testimony on this um after the um manager speaks on why it's taking so long to obtain and or submit the
application. >> I am not the manager of the property. I am the president of the association. The manager is LJS. She's as she is here. She was with the building. Maybe you want to hear that gentleman they raise his hand because uh she was here. Um
apparently we tried to get it both of them. First you have to have a certificate to use to get the business license if I'm not mistaken. And uh there was a issue with the unsafe structure. We needed the engineering that we got a letter from the engineering but um the pictures were not
stamped and notorized by him. So I we had to get the pictures also notorized. That's what the property manager explained me briefly. And so she's supposed to get that from them to be able to get the certificate of use. Once you get the certificate of use, then you
get the business license as far as I know. >> Um, Mr. Pron. >> Yeah. Hi. So, um, East Side Manor Condo did turn in a certificate of use application today. I'm talking about the
last half an hour, 45 minutes. It is now going to go through the preliminary review before we approve them to go through the derm and fire process with the county. So we do have a CU application that's going through the preliminary review. Now
>> I also have the fire approval that we got at a letter from how do you call this is annual operating permit from the I think it's the fire Miami date fire rescue department I have it
here with me. All right, >> next case. Um, C MH E 202300111. Um, again, same day, May
26, 2023. While doing the annual housing inspection, I looked into the computer as well as looked around the property to see if there was an extermination report and information regarding um how this building exterminates. um their
property. I did not see anything noted in or see anything in the computer. I then at that time noted it and brought it to the attention of um management and to any listing agents with the property. I have not heard anything and or had any conversations with anyone from this
property aside from this meeting today. As of my last reinspection on August 19th, 2025, there has not been an extermination report submitted to the city. to be honest. >> Yeah, to be honest with you, I don't I didn't even know you need to have
extermination companies to do it because I in order to save money, I usually put some rat traps there and I um since I own most of the units there, all my it's in my list that they're supposed to um you know uh take care of roaches and
things like that. >> And that's fine, sir. Um, regardless of what type of um, services you provide, even if you do it for yourself, we just need something in writing on company letterhead stating that that's how you service your building. >> Okay. So, I have to give you a letter in
writing saying stating how I do it. Okay. >> Yes, >> I would do that. >> Next case, C MHS 202300768. This case is a new case for the address numbers. Um I'm sorry, not
the address numbers, the contact um information, the identification placard is required to be placed on um all minimum housing um buildings. At the time of me doing my initial inspection in May of 2023, I looked around the
property. I did see address numbers. However, I did not see the identification placard needing to be again the management and telephone numbers. If there's an emergency for a unit owner in or fire in the um FPL, things of that nature, they need to know
who to contact when they come out. Um which was not posted. Um I did note it on the annual housing inspection seat, mailed it out to the management and to all listing agents um associated with this building. I have not heard anything
and or had any conversations with anyone from this property other than this meeting today. As of my last reinspection on August 19th, 2025, there is still no identification placard posted at this property.
>> The inspector is correct. There was no plaque post. I was waiting for the building to be painted, but um I ended up putting one right on the on the entrance of the building where there's a metal mailbox which is not going to be painted. So, uh the it is posted now
very clear once you walk in through the building to get access to the units. I have a picture to show the inspector here also. >> Okay. Next case, CE SN 202300000037.
Um, new case for window screens and or door screens that need that are missing that need to be installed. While doing my initial inspection in May of 2023, I observed several windows um that had missing
window screens and or damaged window screens on them. I noted it on the annual housing inspection, brought it to the attention of management as well as any listing agents with the property. As of my last reinspection on August 19th,
um the window screens still remain missing. >> Inspector is correct. Um, I have sent letters to all the unit owners and I knock on the doors of the tenants to notify the unit owners to put the screens because it's their
responsibility. Uh, my units now have it. Uh, so far there's only one unit that has not complied to it is unit number nine. Everybody else complying. And um you know I I wish if you guys can
you know find the unit not the building because of it. You know there's just so much we can do to try to force these people to comply. As of now unit 9 does not have a screen on the front. Only that unit only unit nine.
>> Yes. Yeah. >> Um All right. Do you want to tackle them? You want me to address them one at a time? >> Um yes, you can. >> Okay. >> Oh, we can we can put put them all together. It seems as though the president is saying compliance has not
been met. Um this has been open since 2023. So you the screen. No, there was a screen so last time. >> Um, so if you would like, you can possibly, you know, combine them all together so that we have the same um
adjudication and or same reinspection date um for all of them, but it's up to you. >> Okay. Is it me? Did we say that number 11 was reset 30 days? Madame clerk, >> I'm sorry. I complained most of them.
There's only two issues that were not complained. >> You're absolutely right. Number 11 was Yes. >> I'm sorry. >> Yes. Number 11 was reset for for 30 days. >> Okay. >> Number 11. >> Do you have that, Officer Sanders?
>> Um I don't have that. Um I don't. No. >> Okay. Because that that was announced in the um beginning of the hearing that item number 11 would be reset 30 days. That's what I have. >> Yes. >> Okay. So, um
>> I I don't understand. I comply most of the cases. So, can't we close the ones I complied or and >> Well, you said you had photos. >> Yeah. >> Um Inspector um Sanders, how far are you from having >> We're close. We're close. >> Um I'm I'm close. However, if we can
magistrate and I mean I can look at the photos, however, these are 2023 cases. Um our reinspection date is the 18th and 19th. Um, you know, I don't I, you know, don't want to get into the habit of, you know, looking over cases the morning of
the hearing. If it was something that was a month or two or if we've had conversations before today, I would be, you know, a little more willing, if not a lot more willing to, you know, maybe, you know, do a reinspection and table the cases. However, um, you know, again,
this is over a year, you know, two years actually now. you know it's not two years that's not uh these cases were closed when I remember this when they the issue the screen cases that was closed we had fulfilled all the screens you know and regarding the fence we were
never there was not no notes fence before the first time I ever got these notifications was uh a few months ago that was the when I got certified letters from them and maybe uh you guys
>> maybe your predecessor Um when did you take when did you take >> the president of the association for 10 years now almost I mean sorry about seven eight years. So something is there was no notification send it to me >> because if this case has been ongoing
since 2023 and you were not made aware then you probably need to talk to management because >> no uh management I'm the one that hired them. I I think that even though I apply I pay for the permits here from the
prior years, you guys never changed the address of the old management company. Now notifications was going to a old management company that was located in Fort L. If if my mind is was located in Kendall, I don't know where the notifications
were sent to. But this case for me, I'm I'm think to be honest with you. is showing here. If I'm looking, hold it right there, Cindy. I'm sorry. It shows that maybe we were mailing them at that time to um we show we sold two Oh, I'm doing like on my laptop. Two addresses
we sent them to. We sent them to the property address being 2120 Northeast 6th Avenue as well as the listing agent at 1150 Kane Concourse, second floor east. >> 2020. Yeah, that that's the current that
was the current pro. uh 23 >> that yes that's who it show we mailed them to if if I'm I mean I'm scringching into my screen but that's what it shows what I'm looking at >> that was in 2023 >> yes as you see in the pictures depicted
there and on the notices all of them say um 2023 and it was mailed to that >> concourse the pictures you're showing me there I remember about the screens and we've prepared and everything and you call and there was a inspection done for that
back then you and you guys never that's something else and and the the chaining fence was never a issue before. >> Well, as you see, it's not just the screens, but as you see in the picture of the and I address the screens, but as well as with the fence, I have photos
from 2023 as well as well as photos from 2025 and it's showing the exact same >> 2025 it was. Yeah. I mean for me that's I when I I I was made aware of when I got the certified ladder
now you know which you sent me uh I think sent me like a month or so ago >> and even at that time magistrate once he received the certified letters clearly on those letters and notice to appear it says that the reinspection date is the 18th even if we would have had a
conversation on the 18th about this violation but now to come to the hearing and present pictures. Um, if you don't mind me asking, Mr. Ferguson, when was compliance met? When when did you take those photos? >> Talking to me? >> Yes.
>> Uh, this was the compliance for the fence was done about it was done last week. The compliance with the sign I did it and the paint I hired the company already a week ago, but they started uh the paint job on Friday.
>> Okay. Um the the the situation with the per the situation with the the permits the the certificate we use everything. We have been dealing this for a little bit over a week but we send the checks. You guys didn't take the check because remember
we had the roof situation inspector and I had to hire a company to repair the roof because you deemed an unsafe structure and we had to get a ladder from the engineering otherwise you'd like evict everybody out of the building
and uh so I got the letter of the engineering and uh we submitted that but unfortunately the pictures didn't have stamp from the engineering so we have to resubmit Again, that's a, you know, so there's a process
that first of all, I had to raise the money to start to do all these repairs, which I did. Uh, and we spent like $20,000 repairing just the roof. And now it's like another $15,000 for the paint and another 2,000 for the fence, you
know. And I've been doing that, but, you know, I unfortunately, you know, I was not notified. I mean, I wasn't aware. Perhaps I was notified and I went to >> magistrate if if you would like we can hear them one by one and you can you know adjudicate you know at at your
discretion as to you know if you want to table it or >> I have to give you time to um go back and reinspect. So, what I will do, um, because this matter has been ongoing for
two years now, since May 2023, we're now in September of 2025, I will enter an adjudication u meaning that I find in favor of the city and um that the um that the violations did exist. So, I
will give you 30 days, meaning that um the inspector will go back and inspect and if you have copies of the photos, you can leave those with her, but she will also be on site to see if there has in fact been compliance. To the extent
that there has been compliance, then she'll know what to do in terms of um you know, closing out the case or informing the court. But I will if there if we're not in compliance, then you
have 30 days to resolve whatever the violation or outstanding violations may be. >> And if that's not done, there will be a daily fine amount and that goes for each case. Um, I'll keep it low, a daily fine
amount of $350. So, and >> now regarding the screens, you know, we cannot we don't have control over the the owners. So, >> there are ways to do that. There are ways to do it. >> You're the president now. You got to you
you you got to figure it out and know the rules. I can't advise you. There are ways to do it. if a t if a unit order is not in compliance um with city codes >> you know the the if the but it's why can't you site the unit instead of the
building >> I'll let the city answer that that's not my job my job is to make rulings >> I know >> so it will be 30 days 300 >> can the inspector site the the regarding the screens can the inspector site the unit individual
>> no sir we can't site the individual unit owner um we site, you know, the condo association regarding these matters. You know, let's hope by the reinspection that you say you've put them on notice. Let's hope by the reinspection that that
one less unit puts the screens on there. >> Okay. >> All right, sir. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Magistrate. Um before we go, I just want to make sure. So 11, are we tableabling that one? Um, and then just here just
adjudicating the 12 through 16 or is 11 included with it? >> Oh, 17. >> 17. Number 11 was reset 30 days, >> but technically they're all set for 30 days, you know, because um I I would like to have all the cases run together.
>> Okay. >> All right. >> Nothing was adjudicated. Everything is reset. Correct. >> No, 11 was reset. Everything else have been adjudicated >> from 12 to 17.

doing well making efforts to obtain that permit and I'll be more than happy to if judge if um depending on your ruling give her that extra time in order to um obtain the permit. for the fence and the windows.
>> All right. So, Miss Noble, I'm assuming that you stepping in to assist your your dad or your parents to trying to get this thing moving and get um get the um permits done, right?

um it gets a little muddled, a little a little confusing. >> Absolutely. Case number 43, Oxford Court Condominium, CF OB202300468. Inspector for this case is Mr. Jonathan Lamestry.
>> Good morning, special magistrate. Inspector Jonathan Lestre from City of North Miami Neighborhood Services Department. On April 13th, 2023, I conducted an annual housing inspection at 13655 Northeast 10th Avenue, which is Oxford
Court Condominium. For this specific violation, um this is for the failure the condo association uh for not having a business tax receipt for the city of North Miami. Uh commercial properties and condominiums, um they're required to have a business tax receipt with the
city of North Miami. Um, I posted the notice of violation on April 13th, 2023, and I also mailed the notice of violation to the condo association. Um, on August 5th, 2025, I posted the notice to
appear for the special magistrate and as of the final reinspection date on August 21st, 2025, the condo association has failed to apply or obtain the business tax receipt for the city of North Miami. All right, Mr. Johnson.
>> Yes. Yes, your honor. Um, what happened is that Mario Gillup is our association president. He don't live in the building. So, each time when we present something to him, we feel that he would
go out of his way and get it done. And uh so far I'm the one that calls him a whole lot to uh get answers or get help because we pay the HO and that's our money in order for us to work with to make things
happen in the building. He does not answer me. We had a meeting just Saturday and he got the message for the meeting. He was there. He saw the paper. We came to the building, saw the paper, but he did not show up. And we told him,
"We're in the red. We need to get in the green. We need to get things going. So, we we really need to get this guy. We need to get our money. We need to get things going, but we we need help and we need to take control of uh what's going
on now so we can get cuz we live in the building, the other people that is on the board and we see everything that we need to do. I got started doing some things. I made some changes so far on my owns with my money, but at the same
time, we pays our HOB and he in control of our money and we need him to answer us and we need to get things done. Yes, ma'am. >> That sounds like an internal issue. Um,
and if you're a member of the board, then that's a decision that you and your board needs to make or with your attorneys. Um, there's nothing, you know, the special magistrate can do to help you with the whatever internal um
issues, disagreements that you may have with your board um for HOA president. Unfortunately, this issue has been ongoing since 2023. >> Yes, ma'am. >> We are in September of 2025. So, this
has been ongoing for two years. >> Yes, sir. >> Um the only thing that I can do is to um rule based on what's before me um and based on the testimony of the inspector.
I find that the violation does exist, I will enter an adjudication and give you guys 30 days by which to resolve it. If not, there will be a daily fine amount of $250.
>> Yes, ma'am. >> Next case. Case number 44, Oxford Core Condo, CE Gap 202300000041. The vector for this case is Mr. Jonathan Mastery.
>> Again, special magistrate, good morning. Uh this violation is in regard to garbage accumulation on the property. Um, on April 13th, 2023, uh, again, I conducted an annual housing inspection at the property and I observed garbage,
uh, plastic bottles, uh, wrappers, beer bottles, uh, trash scattered throughout the property. Um, I don't know if we could pull up the pictures of the property of the violation, but, um, next to the trash, uh, next to the, uh, dumpster, there's trash scattered
throughout the floor. Um, regardless, um, I posted the notice of violation at the property, mailed the notice of violation to the condo association. Um, on August 5th, 2025, I posted the notice to appear, uh, for the magistrate, and on August 21st, 2025, as
of the final reinspection date, uh, garbage and trash is still scattered throughout the property. Um, >> well, I know that not there since 2023. Um, so you're saying that it's been an ongoing issue.
>> It's an ongoing issue. Um, because when I first >> they have like one one um the the trash bin for for the entire How big is the condo? >> Um, the condo is three stories tall. Um,
I don't know how many units are at the property, but this is what the dumpster looks like. And this is back in 2023. Um, uh, clerk, I don't know if we could, um, see recent picture. >> I'm assuming, Mr. Johnson, this is an
ongoing issue. >> Yes, ma'am. What happened is that we uh we need to build uh like the rest of the people and have a a trash put in because other people comes and actually see we see them and we they've not supposed to
do that and they throw their trash in our garbage and pull it out stuff just all over the place. We try to clean it up each time. Even the people around that live in the building, they pick up and try and throw. But the way things is, it's just so open. it. We have no
cameras. We have nothing. And we need to make this thing happen. Ma'am, that so your honor, we're we're trying our best now. We're we're on the work. We're we're uh to get all the stuff like what the gentleman said is true, but we need
to make the wrong right. Yes, ma'am. And that's what we intended to do by building Yes, ma'am. By building a a fence around it >> and changing the barb. Yes, ma'am. >> I thought I saw an enclosure. It's not enclosed.
>> No, ma'am. It's not. >> Uh they they do have a garbage enclosure, but it's it's broken. It's it's it's wooden. It's it's it's rotten. It's it's a wooden fence that's just >> Yeah. >> It looks like it's about to collapse. >> Yes. So, we need to get a new one. And
but our problem is just not just now that we have all of this problem and we in the red we everybody get together because we want to keep our homes and all it it's it's a problem that we have
uh with also our association president. He comes back and forth, but he does not go out of his way to help fund us, to do the things because we need the money to build stuff, to clean stuff, to fix
stuff. Yes, ma'am. And but even myself, if I get the help, I because I do a whole lot on my owns, but it's just a whole lot to do. But we do need that fund, our HO funds in order to make this
work. But we are ready. Yes, ma'am. >> President with a H pres um I'm sorry, not H with a condo association president who does not live in the condominium. >> Yes, ma'am.
>> I mean, it's a whole other situation, but your condo president don't live there. >> No, ma'am. And that's the problem because all the former uh uh presidents we had lived in the building and we were
just fine getting things done. But after they moved out or retired and what have you, we uh uh voted Mario, but he don't live in the building. So he's he's not there. He's he don't he's it's just like
he don't he don't care. But we need his help. We need our HOV money and we need to get things done. We had a meeting. Everybody now, all the people, even their owners who are not on the board, they wanted to help to see that this
place come together, but we need to hear also from Mario who was at Joel. Yes, ma'am. So, that's what's going on there with us. another ongoing issue because it's unsightly and you know if you have neighbors
um they have home and and see all this garbage you know out there on their way home. Do you guys have like a a management team? >> Yeah, right now. Yes, ma'am. Right now we already uh uh we have a gentleman
that lives in uh own in uh our uh condo there in the building. He works for the city. He said he's going to get call the the garbage folks to change the garbage because he said uh that the garbage is
no good which somewhat you know they needed to be changed to come in and change the and put one big garbage for us and we're going to fence. We already have our uh our guide to help us fence it in and uh make everything nice as
possible as we can on that very thing there. Yes, ma'am. We all came together about it Saturday. Yes, ma'am. Um, >> okay. This is what I'm going to do because, you know, every time I rule,
it's more money, you know, against the the uh condo associations and eventually the unit owners, right? >> Yes, sir. um you know, you're here today because obviously you care about the property, you care about your uh your
unit. Um so I am going to reset this one in a sense. I'm still going to have all your cases run together 30 days. Um, Inspector Lamestra is going to come back around this week and if he finds
everything is in order, it's no mess, you know, then when we come back, you'll be all right. But if he comes around and we we're I'm still seeing the same mess with the garbage there's because this bin is probably too small
for a three unit condom. I mean, I know you have two, but if it's constantly, you know, um um garbage on the ground and full and maybe it's either you
probably need to set up um more pickup days, right? I'm assuming pay extra for more pickup days or you guys need bigger bed or >> you understand? So, that needs to resolve and I'm going to give you time
to do that. You have 30 days. I don't know when the inspector is gonna come around, but when whenever whatever day that he does come around, he's going to take photos and we're going to come back here in 30 days. If it's the same thing, I'm letting you know now. There will be
an adjudication and there will be a daily fine. Okay? So, you need to get together with the rest of your association um um members and tell them that they need to keep clean and they need to make sure that the um stuff stays within that enclosure until such
time that you guys can I I don't know rebuild or whatever it is that y'all need to do. So when item number 44 is reset 30 days. >> Understood. Case number 45
core condo cm h 202300000099. Inspector for this case is Mr. Jonathan Leestry. >> Yes. Special magistrate. Um for the annual housing inspection, um I opened the rules of violation for the
extermination/fumigation report. Um we the city requested that the property just provide uh a fumigation report stating that the property is being fumigated um but they failed to do so. Um, I posted the notice
of violation back on April 13th, 2023. And I also mailed out the notice of violation as well. Um, on August 5th, I posted the notice to appear for the magistrate at the property. And as of the final reinspection date, the property has failed to provide an
extermination report um to me or the city. >> Mr. Johnson, >> yes. Yeah, we did had uh uh during the time when we had Michael, oh my god, it's been like 5 years or so. Uh we had
uh all that happens through him when he um when he was there, we had the fumigate guy came in many times and you know do his thing. So now we're we spoke about that. That's something we already
have somebody on who knows an exterminated guy to come in and get started. Get it started again. Yes, ma'am. >> Get it done within the next 30 days. >> Yes, ma'am. >> I'll reset it 30 days.
Make sure you get a report for the city inspector. >> Yes, ma'am. Next case number 46 Oxport Court Condo C EZCU 2023 00792
inspector for this case is Mr. Jonathan Lester. >> Yes, special magistrate. So this violation is in regard to the certificate of use. Um this matches with the business tax receipt. Um, the condo association is required by city by the city to have a certificate of use. On
April 13th, um, I posted the notice of violation and mailed out the notice of violation to the condo association. Um, August 5th, 2025, I posted the notice to appear at the property and as of the final reinspection date, um, the Oxford Court condominium has failed to apply or
obtain the certificate of use. >> All right, this is similar to the first uh, one. So, I will do an adjudication of this one in 30 days and the daily fine amount is 250. Any question, Mr. um Johnson?
>> Uh, no. No, your honor. We're I think we got that and I think we we uh fill it out already. We had a one of the ladies on board doing that and send it to our Teleahassee. I think that's the one we're talking about.
Uh, Mr. Johnson, I would recommend you after this hearing to visit the development service department. Um, it's two it's two buildings down. Um, they'll be able to provide you with information on how to obtain the certificate of use in the business tax receipt. >> Okay. You wanted to add something?
>> Yeah, I checked with our with our permit clerk here that processes the certificate of use applications and we don't have anything for Oxford Court at this time. So, definitely come in. you'll speak to Anna and she can guide you guys as to what you need to produce to get the ball started to get the ball rolling.

2023 000364 uh on December 4th, 2024. Case was tabled by magistrate Kasu for 30 days. Case is now set for September 3rd, 2025 hearing. The inspector for this case is
Mr. Jonathan Leestry. >> Great. >> Good morning everyone. Um neighborhood service inspector Jonathan Lestre. Um, I apologize. Um, looking at the case file
on November I I apologize. Um, on February 24th, 2023, I opened a notice of violation um at 420 Northwest 126th Street uh because I observed two recreational vehicles on the property. Um, so the property has a variance to
have one recreational vehicle on the property. Um, they have one, so they have a variance to have one recreational vehicle on the property, but I did observe two, which is a code violation. I posted the notice of violation and I also mailed the notice of violation to the property
owner. Um, on August 5th, 2025, I posted the notice to appear at the property. And as of August 21st, 2025, as of the final reinspection date, um, I still observed two recreational vehicles on the
property. And those are my final reinspection photos. Uh, one is there and then the other in the rear as well. Um, and that's why I brought this case to the magistrate to before you. Okay. And you said that has been there since 2023.
>> Correct. >> Okay. Mr. Darville. >> Yes. >> What's going on? >> Yeah. The the RV has been removed last night. >> I'm sorry. >> It has been removed last night. It >> was removed.

for 30 days because what you should have done was to do it prior >> to um my abatement date to give the officer an opportunity to come around and reinspect to make sure that you are in compliance. You didn't do that. Um
let me ask madam clerk. So, in situations like this, they still have to pay the court costs, right? >> Yes. >> Okay. because that's a waste of of of court time. >> What you know the you're having abatement date for a reason. You were
supposed to have complied and let the city know so that the inspector can come out and have a report you know for for us if you are in compliance then you know your case would have been dismissed today. But the fact that you know you
you did you did it last night I guess in anticipation of today's hearing. Um, so technically you are in compliance, but I don't know that. So the inspector has to go and and inspect to make sure that you are in fact in compliance and he's going
to come around a few times, a couple of times just to make sure >> and um you know and then we'll we'll know what what's going on. >> All right. So reset 30 days. >> Okay. >> Good luck to you. >> Okay.

installation of a shed in the backyard. The feedback that I received is that three of the four have been cured. The only pending items should be the installation of the shed in the back. I did receive feedback because the tenant
was the one that installed it is that they're actively working on getting some form of storage facility in order to keep their items and once they do, which we expect to be done within a week, they're going to dismantle the shed and completely remove it, which should cure
everything. >> Okay. Um, the was removed. When was that? >> You came out for a second. Can you say that again? >> The inoperable uh vehicle that was

>> case number eight is CBPR 202500255. Okay, that's the one I was >> obtaining installation for the CH that is located on the rear of the property. >> Okay, Shannon Sanders, neighborhood service inspector. I'm presenting for case 12505 Northwest 1st Avenue. This is
a new case for a um shed that was installed in the rear of the property. I originally inspected the property on June 1st of 2025. whereas um I was doing my normal inspections. I saw a shed that
was installed in the rear of the property. I posted the property with a notice of violation. Um I have not heard anything from the property owners in our listing agents regarding this matter. I have looked in the computer um upon my last reinspection and visibly inspected
the property on the 18th. The shed still remains and no permit um has been obtained in or submitted to the city. All right. And I think attorney Diaz um stated that the owners are
um within the week they will dismantle uh remove the the shed. Is that correct? >> We're we're assisting the tenants. We didn't assemble the shed. We also don't want to evict them for something that we can all cure together. So, we're working
with them to resolve resolve all this. Our expectation it's going to be resolved next week. Just as a point of clarification, I was I attended the last hearing and I thought we were rescheduled for the 18th. So, I did call in uh requesting
updates on the 18th and I did email Miss Sanders yesterday. So, I I have tried to communicate. Now, I do understand that my confirmation of the 25th is after the reinspection date. Um but we expect
everything to be resolved by next week if not already. >> So if you would like magistrate, we could either table the case and or we can give an adjudication and give a um compliance date. Um since the violation
did still remain um when I did the initial reinspection for this hearing. Um it's totally up to you um because My apologies. >> Go ahead. >> I was only going to say since it's a
newer case, if possible, if we can table it to the next hearing date, please. >> Okay. >> She's thinking. >> Okay. Let's >> long uncomfortable pause. Um let's give it 30 days and um you know
so that hopefully it will be removed and let the officer know so that she can um do her reinspection and um hopefully close out this case. >> Um
case number nine. No. Yes. Uh, sir Barrows SFR Holdings LP CE IBY 202500182 inspector for this case is Miss Shannon Sanders. >> Channer Sanders, neighborhood um
neighborhood services department inspector new case for a vehicle that is parked at an inoperable vehicle that is parked at the property. I initially inspected this property on May 21st, whereas I observed a vehicle
on the side of the property um flat tires. Um I um left a notice of violation at the property as well as mailed it to the listing agents. I have not heard anything
um from anyone regarding this violation other than today. As of my last reinspection on August 18th of 2025, the vehicle still remained at the property and the tires remained um um flat and
deric looking >> and that's the indicated that has been removed. Correct. >> Yes. My understanding that that's all been removed. >> All right. So, let's let's give the um inspector an opportunity
um reinspect and if it is in fact in compliance, then we can close it. So, we're going to table it 30 days as well. Is that all for you? >> Yes. >> All right. bank.
>> My apologies. Just to confirm, there were two other violations. Just for the record, those have been cured, correct? The uh repairing the iron fence and the overgrowth of trees. >> Those are not being heard today. Um are
do you know what's going on with these with the two other cases? I usually like to have um run together and you know, >> no, those are the only two that we have. If it's not there, then it means that it's been cured or closed. I wouldn't be able that would be a question that if
you want to reach out to the inspector, we can let you know whether those cases have been closed or not. >> And I I can say right now while we're here, especially since it's an attorney, those cases have already been cured um regarding the fence. I noticed upon my reinspection that the fence was repaired
and they did do some massive trimming and cutting um of the trees and bushes from around the property. So, both of those were listed as compliance met and abaded and are not on today's calendar. They've been closed.
>> Thank you. >> Thank you, sir. Have a good one. >> Have a great day, everyone. >> Yeah. Next case is um going to be case number 40.

number 40. Mastery Cre250014. Inspector for this case is Mr. Jamie George. >> Good morning. Um I'm I'm being expected to open the case. I am uh this case came to us from the development services
department. The there was a tree that was completely removed from uh the rear of the property. Uh they have applied for the permit but it it has not been issued yet. So they they had to they had to um get a after
the fact tree removal permit. >> Okay. >> All right. Mr. Kenneth, we're going to have to hear from you or somebody u related to this. >> Please unmute.
[Music] Yes. >> Sorry, technical difficulties. >> Same. what what this case Mr. Morning. >> Sorry, you cut out. My apologies.
>> I was askedment here. Is there anything that you can testify to while we wait for um >> She's there. I just saw her. She's Maria Green. I can see her. >> Can you see me now? >> No, it was good before.
>> Can you see me now? >> Perfect. Now we can see you and hear you. >> All right, great. Sorry about that. I'm just not getting good reception where I am. >> All right. So, we already read the case. Um, we were waiting for you to go ahead and give your testimony.
>> Okay. Um, I am Marissa McGro, the city of North Miami certified arbory. Um, get this fixed. Um Kenneth Wedding and myself responded to
um an inspection uh that we needed to uh go to based on uh NSD's uh initial um inspection.
So we went out to and piled up um and you know, we rec we we basically the city of North Miami uh tree preservation uh is, you know, part of our
um code. Uh in this case, the tree was removed without a permit. Um and um so it was in violation.
Um it was a specimen sized live oak and um we would require mitigation for removal of a tree if the tree was allowed to be removed in the first place. Not every tree is granted a tree removal permit. In this case, we
didn't even uh we didn't even have the opportunity to review the tree prior to being cut down. Uh so uh the tree uh mitigation for a tree that size, a specimen sized tree after the fact uh would be 12 trees.
Um and for mitigation, we would require it to be on site first and whatever couldn't be installed on site would be um installed um offsite or contribution to the tree mitigation fund.
In addition to uh corrective action installing trees, we would also uh require um a fine based on uh section 52309B. >> And what amount? >> Uh for specimen size tree. Um
let me um let me give you that amount. Hold on. I'm just looking through my emails. So again um for a tree that size because it was a specimen sized tree and also after the fact rem um removal
approximately 12 trees for mitigation um which you know totals up to 3600 uh if it went straight to the tree mitigation fund although we don't do corrective action that way. We try to get trees installed on site and then like I said remaining trees that couldn't fit on site would go offsite or
the tree mitigation fund. Uh and then the section 2309B first offense um a tree over 18 in to 36 in 2,000 greater than 36 in 3,000. Again, I didn't get to take a proper DVH on this tree because it was cut down
before I was there. Is the $2,000 fine in addition to the 12 trees for vitig? >> Yes. It says uh penalties for uh this 2309B penalties for violation of tree regulations in addition to all other
applicable penalties set forth in city code. Following penalties shall be assessed for violations of this division. Um and it goes through first offense, second offense, and third subsequent offenses. And uh for the first offense, they've got it broken
down based on the size of the tree uh trunk diameter. >> So this was >> I'm sorry. >> Go ahead. >> It was over an 18inch tree. Um I I can't say for sure if it was over 36 in.
>> And the range is from 2,000 to what? for 18 in to 36 in $2,000 greater than 36 in DBH, which is the trunk diameter, $3,000. >> All right. Um, let me turn over to the
property owner or the the neighbor. >> You guys are muted. >> Is that better? Yes, we can hear you. >> Thank you, your magistrate. Uh, I would like to state that um Mr. Winning and
Miss Margarino met with me by chance at the property and they may not and you you may not have uh read my uh response to this uh violation. I am the victim
here. this oak tree uh gave me shade and uh it was a lovely tree that I did not cut down. So um the fact that they have no leniency and don't remember what uh
transpired here is uh very concerning. Um, we did apply after the fact permit because obviously this was uh cut without my knowledge in error by uh my next door neighbor
who's here. We would have had um a permit approval had we applied uh prior because uh as I showed both officers, his property had been damaged by the
tree in the uh in the way of a a broken roof on his side. Also, uh his tenants and my tenants were worried that with the hurricane season coming, the trees, uh
the branches would uh damage their homes as well. So, um I understand how this affects the city and obviously my property. I've had to um purchase $1,000 worth of
insulation for the roof of my property with which was overheating throughout this past few months. So, uh I ask uh your magistrate some um leniency and understanding.
Uh we could um cooperate with new trees to help the um the city uh oxygen, but additional uh fines and penalties seem um excessive. >> Thank you. He said he has submitted some
something to to the court. Madam clerk, do you have do you have photographs of the damages that >> Yes. >> trees? >> The No, the roof. No, I only I only have photographs of the of the um tree itself
when it was removed. >> Okay. And where did you submit your documentation? >> I gave them to um Inspector George. I gave him to his supervisor here at this building and I showed it to Mr. Wedding
and Mr. McGre Miss McGrino on site. >> All right. So, let me ask um what is the procedure if this is damaging and um I'm understanding that the roof
um of his neighbor damage as a >> I'm sorry for the interruption. I forgot something else. I also showed them and provided photos of the electrical lines and the cable TV lines that were torn and are still hanging there from
multiple times that the branches uh disrupted service to both our tenants on both properties. >> All right, let me hear from the orist and uh whoever else. >> Um hi, this is Marissa again. Um, you
know, unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to inspect a tree before it was taken down. Um, removal is not necessarily the first thing you do. Um, and again, you didn't let us review the tree. Uh, we would have, you know,
inspected the tree. In most cases, if it's just um maybe a one limb you were worried about on a house or some limbs interfering with the utilities, we would uh you know do reduction cuts uh on the tree. Uh pruning would be required, not
necessarily the removal of the tree. >> How long has this been ongoing? I I have questions. So questions first and um this been ongoing and tell me dates
and um to whom you've discussed this and um who did you tell the inform you have this issue? Um go ahead.
>> Who are you speaking to your honor? >> It's talking to you. Your video is cutting off a little bit. I just drink >> immediately. >> Okay. And it's >> I apologize. I don't mean for us to keep speaking over each other. If you don't
hear me, let me know because it's telling me that my Wi-Fi is unstable all of a sudden. Um, but I I do want to know how long has this been going on and have you reported it to whom you've reported it? Um, etc. That's what I want to hear.
as to you. Um I apologize, sir. Can you tell me your name again? >> Fernando Maestra, the homeowner. >> Yes. >> I can tell how long this has been going on and who did >> immediately after I received the vi
notice violation. I came to the city and met with >> And that's too late. That's too late. I'm talking to this tree being taken down. Um, you said you were having issues.
Did you ever report ever talk to anyone to say that I have this tree that's basically causing problems to my neighbor's house and it's a pos it's possibly because it's closed electrical lines,
etc. >> I repeat, I did not cut down this tree. I had no knowledge of my neighbor's damages. He never told me he had any problems. He never told me he would cut
down the tree. I am the victim here. I did not cause this. Immediately after I received a notice of violation, I came to the city and provided all the documentations and pictures and Mr. Ver's testimony that I
had in text messages where he acknowledged that he had done this in error. He assumed the tree was his >> in that case. Well, >> yes, Mr. Winning, you're muted.
>> Okay. Thank you. Uh, I would just like to point out, uh, when Marissa and I were on site and having the discussion with the homeowner that he said he was aware of the tree mitigation fund. And when I said, "Well, that's good. You at least know that we can put, you know,
trees, well, with the mitigation process, we can put trees back on your property." He said, "Oh, I don't want trees back on my property." That's all I have to add. >> Okay. All right. So,
tell me, >> we can hear you, magistrate. Sorry. >> Trying to see how to proceed because whatever my ruling ruling is going to be a lean against your property. So, it's going to be a judgment against you. Um,
and so this is why I am trying to Yes. Go ahead, sir. >> Maybe we should ask uh my neighbor uh what he um is willing to do uh to help either in the way of uh planting trees
in his property and maybe mine or or in the way of a fine. U you know, we we haven't heard from him. Uh who >> Okay. I'm happy to hear from him. >> Yes. >> All right. Go ahead. Uh, good morning again, your honor.
>> Good morning. >> Good morning. Uh, yeah. Um, I've been living in my address 1530-36 for a long time and has always been an issue, a concern, safety. So, I've done
um um I've called people to trim some of the branches before and then you break your eyes and then the branches are growing again so quick and so fast. Every year we are always having the same issues. What's going to happen in many
occasions? So then I have to fix the roof of the house because some of the branches fell on the roof and then we have to fix it. I love trees. If the inspector can testify then how many trees that I planted on my site. So it's not a concern that we don't want trees.
We want trees. I think I have about uh 20 to 25 trees on my properties. But when it's come a concern and not only that the the tree was in the back so therefore I not have any knowledge the tree belonged to my neighbor. So
therefore if it was a concern to me and then for a resident so therefore I had to do something about it not knowing that I had to call the city since it was in the backyard to know then the city has to get involved to cut the tree since safety come first. So then I
decided to take action before something bad happened to me or to someone living in the in the property. >> Okay. So, um I don't know if I'll ask Miss McGrino or the city attorney
because my ruling is going to be against the property, right? Um and so where do we go from here? >> Well, are you going to give us the opportunity to plant trees and pay a smaller fine or you're just placing a lean? I'm unclear about that.
>> No, no, no, no. going to be in adjudication exists. And so um the um the testimony is is that for to mitigate the the loss
you have to plant 12 trees. Um obviously if you're accommodate all 12 then um you said that it could be at the um location or in a different location if all 12
trees are not um can't fit in in in the um >> I'm sure that my neighbor and I can come to an agreement as to the placement of the 12 trees >> but we already have more than 12 trees We have about 20 trees,
>> magistrate, >> but for the one that they want you to replace it and they're saying that they they want you to replace it with an additional 12 trees. So if if whatever amount can fit on your property, um
you're saying that between the two properties you're the the space for all 12. >> We can definitely try, but as M Mr. Vert has expressed he hasn't asked permission to plant trees constantly. He's got lots
of trees. >> Magistrate, >> can you hear me? You can talk. U Miss um uh miss um the adjacent property owner um he does have quite a few trees
on his property, but there is room on the property that we're speaking of where the actual tree was taken out there. There's room for trees to be installed there. >> All right. So, that's going to be my ruling. That's going to be my ruling for the
>> magistrate. I'm sorry. Um, so I'm and again we we can work with him to, you know, see how many of those 12 trees can fit on his property. Um, but that is first and foremost how we prioritize um tree removals and the mitigation for
tree removals. It's first onsite. >> Understood. >> Thank you. >> Out. So that would be my ruling in terms of the fine. Um, I know that you gave me a range between 2,000 and 3,000. Um, I
am going 2,000. I do >> I couldn't hear you. I'm so sorry, Magister. You're cutting off and I could I couldn't hear you. >> Okay. Um, give me one second. It's telling me connection. I state that I make the
record clear. So, to the extent that you cannot hear me, let me know. >> Can you hear me now? >> Yes. Yes. >> Okay. All right. So my ruling for the >> No, the minute that you start talking about the ruling, it just starts cutting off.
>> Sorry. >> It's okay. I will take the uh arborist recommendation for the 12 trees. So it will be the 12 trees first to try to um plant them on site if they cannot
all fit. um you know make arrange that's done um I know the fine for that the size of
the is between 2,000 to 3,000 I'm going to take into cons that the property owner was not aware um or at least it wasn't his action um the tree
down. He didn't cut um himself that it was his true property the tree and um and so for that I am going to reduce the fine amount to 1,000.
Was I clear? This is going to be a onetime fine. >> A onetime fine at dollars. Correct. >> Plus the assessment cost. >> Yes. >> Understood. >> All right. Do you have any questions,
sir? Or either of >> No. >> You're welcome. Um, Miss Margro, do you have anything that you'd like to add or clear? >> I think it's clear. So, the 12 trees
mitigation a thousand dollar fine and um we do currently have the application in house and we will continue to work with um the uh property owner and get this resolved. >> Thank you. >> We have to um is um since this is a
violation um we you know we do have to get it resolved in a timely manner though. I just want to make that clear with the property owner. >> Okay. What if I said within the next 30 days? >> I'm I'm I'm fine with that. 30. I would even say 60 if he needs extra time to
find the trees he needs and everything to plant them and show us the planting plan and everything. >> Um 60 days. 60 days I think would suffice for him to um get the planting plan and um provide us the information
we need to go ahead and issue the permit. >> Okay. Yes, sir. >> That is fine. Thank you. Uh I would like to be in touch with Miss Margaro so she could tell me what kind of trees and where she would like them placed. I will work right away on that.
>> Okay. Um, I I will help you if you can start um with the where you'd want them. I'll give you some lists of trees. Um, you know, ultimately we want uh 30% native. Um, and I can give you some tree
lists and again I can't tell you exactly where and what to plant, but I can help you uh work through the process. >> Very good. How do I reach you, please? Um, I will I'm in the office on Tuesdays.
So, um, next Tuesday if you want to um, call me. Let me see. >> I can swing by what time? >> Swing by. That'd be good. Um, let's do
um, anywhere between Let me just think. I think we had Kenneth Kenneth, we might have a meeting. Let me just make sure I don't interfere with the meeting that's already scheduled. >> Do we have a meeting? >> It has not It has not been scheduled as of yet.
>> Okay. Uh anywhere between 11 and 3. >> Perfect. I'll be there 11 in the morning. Thank you. >> 11. Okay, sounds good. All right, we'll talk then. >> All right. All righty. Thank you. >> Thank you everybody. Bye. Bye.

in >> is number 30 Jeffrey Aras Compost Sergio Viegas Tosta CR2025001. The inspector for this case is Mr. Jonathan Lestster. >> Good afternoon everyone. uh neighborhood
service inspector Jonathan Lamestri and this case is being heard for the first time. On July 5th, 2025, uh the neighborhood service department received a complaint from residents stating that there was um um a short-term rental occurring at the
property, a party that was occurring at the property. myself, um, Inspector Joseph Dange, and our former director, Lazarro Raymond. All three of us responded to the property, and we did observe a party, um, as you can see from
the picture, occurring at the location. >> Um, Director, >> all right, I'm gonna ask you to mute yourself, Mr. Campus. It's not your turn yet. >> Okay. Um, so all three of us responded to the scene and our former director, uh, he
responded, he spoke to one of the tenants at the location and they informed him that yes, it was a short-term rental. Um, they were doing a short-term rental, a birthday party at the location. And in the city of North Miami, of course, uh, short-term rentals are not permitted in the city. um
director uh the our former director, he informed me to open a a notice of violation at the property. I posted the notice of violation at the property and I also mailed out the notice of violation as well. Um on August 5th, 2025, I posted the notice to appear at the property. And again, as this case is
a irreparable, irreversible um case, um the city is only requesting an adjudication and a onetime fine for the short-term rental for occurring Mr. Campos. >> Uh, yes. Sorry, I'm just gonna step outside because it's really loud. Uh,
yeah. So, I have my house lease for a year. Um, and the tenant actually left um August 30th. I was like a one year lease. So, I wasn't aware of this. I went on the listing and it wasn't me. It
was actually the person there. But I mean, I didn't think it was necessary to an eviction because this was done last week and I actually just find out about this by closing my property. So, my property was supposed to close last
Thursday because it's for sale. Um, and yeah, I mean, it's brand new information. So, this actually delayed the closing of the house. Now, it's like I don't know when we're going to close. But also I see the photos of that a lot of cars is from the open house because I
know that also the agent got a fine for you know like having the sign and a lot of people. Uh but yeah I mean right now I don't know what I should do because I mean there's no listing online. The tenant is already out of the house and the house was supposed to close for a new owner this week. So I just need to figure out what I have to do because I
wasn't aware of this. I mean I live in California so I didn't even know what was going on in my house till like last week. So I don't know how that works in that case. >> Officer Lamesh up. Was his house? >> It was not an open house, ma'am. It was
a birthday party. Um uh myself again, uh myself, Inspector Joseph Des, and our director, uh former director, uh we all responded and it was a birthday party for a child. Um, we spoke to uh one of the tenants or one of
the people that was there and she did advise that she rented the property for the day. Um, short-term rental. >> All right. Sir, I will enter an adjudication. I find that the violation does exist and because it's one of those situations where,
you know, it h um it basically resolved itself. Um, we're still doing adjudication and a one time fine and you're indicating that you were not aware. Unfortunately, because you're the
owner, you're technically, >> but I'll take that into advisement and I will give you a onetime fine of $750. >> Okay. Do I do I get a note to like pay it off? >> Go ahead, officer. Um, Lamester. >> You could pay the violation at North

this case is Miss Shana Sanders. >> Shannon Sanders, >> I'm sorry. Shana Sanders, neighborhood service inspector. Um, okay. CBPR 20230000009. This is a new case or a tabled case that
was originally cited on September 14th of 2023. I will put on the record there's been some back and forth. There was improper mailing things of that nature. So, we had to table the case um you know for um
first we were far behind and then we tabled the case because of mailing and we wanted to give them proper notice. They have been put on notice maybe about six, seven months ago, maybe a little bit longer, as to a um permit needing to
be obtained for the driveway that was installed at the property. I have been in contact with um Miss Marissa as well as her husband um over the past um few months. They have submitted an application to the city. However, the
application for the driveway has been in um denied. Um, as of my last reinspection on August 18th, the driveway still remains. The permit application has been submitted, but again, it has been
denied. I want to put on the record that the application was submitted in May um, of this year. I want to make sure I'm saying the right dates. It was submitted to the city um, May. It was May 29th. It
was denied June 24th. No activity has taken place with the application from what the computers show. So, I'll let the property owners explain what's going on, why hasn't the application been
revised, and what's the status um to their knowledge of what's going on with the permits and the driveway. >> Okay. So, excuse me, your honor. We received the denial comments. They put on the system that they were sent on June 25th. We received the email on July
1. After that, I was working with the contractor. So, we submit the denial comment back for review. We submitted that I will say the week after July 17. We have been checking with the contractors and they're saying that it
shows that it's in process that they're still reviewing. I don't know why it doesn't show on the system, but all the comments that we received the denial for have been submitted back with the proper explanation and um plans to remove the concrete that is requested
from the property. So, we are working on it. We haven't received anything back from the city, but we submitted those comment back. >> You said in July. So, we submitted I gave it to a contractor on July 17 and
she stated that she was going to give it to the city and then I have been trying to get updates from the city and on July 28th she went to the city and stated that they're still processing this. I don't know why the new comments doesn't show, but we sent everything back to
them to remove. They were asking for the thickness and and I think we can have we can't have like over 60% of the dry weight. So, we were doing the plans so we can remove that concrete
that they're requesting, but we haven't received anything back from the city regarding this. >> Um, Mr. Padron. Is he the one that's in charge of >> No, it it wouldn't be Mr. Padron. Shaunie, are you Miss Presley, are you on?
>> Yes. Shnie Pressley, are you there? Um to give testimony as to what's going on with this um permit? Anyone from the building department? >> I'm here. What's the bu What's the permit number? I'm sorry. Um, the permit number that I have is BPA
0020250060. >> Miss Percy, can you turn on your camera, please? >> Okay. I'm so sorry. >> I don't. And the while she's looking, you know, the testimony that Miss um Nunes Cruz did give is the conversations we've been having over the month, I
have, you know, expressed to her, you know, even though she does have a contractor, you know, a permit runner, they may, you know, they want to may want to, especially since there's a pending violation to come into the city themselves, you know, and to see, you know, what's going on. Um,
>> so we we're not currently in Miami, we're in Pennsylvania. So that's why it's a little bit complicated >> to go to a city or self. And I know they don't give like a lot of information regarding permits to another person that are not the property owners. So
>> Okay. I was just informed of this. I didn't know that. We've been talking all this time. You never said you were out of state. I'm not quite sure why my camera is not working. >> Okay. >> Um, they done switched my
hard drive to a laptop. I mean, a laptop. So, now I don't know what's going on with the camera. It's not turning on, unfortunately. I'm so sorry. And I do apologize. >> Um, let me see what's going on with this permit.
The last not the last. Okay. So, the application was submitted back in May of this year. >> It went through the first review process and it was not it was denied by all trace engineer zoning and building.
>> We sent an email notification on 625 and that email notification went to support at the permits queen.net net and nothing has been resubmitted since then. I don't have anything else up to date since since 25 when the email went saying that
it was denied. When did you call yourself resubmitting? So, they told me that they will resubmit this back on July 27 and on July 17. I do apologize and on July 28, she answered me back that she went to the city and they told her that it was in
process. So, I don't know if you went physically there and submitted the papers because I know sometimes you request that it has to be submitted personally, not through email. >> Yes, all permits, all permits application must be submitted in person. All corrections need to be submitted in
person. And as of 6:25 um at 3:03 p.m. the email went out notific. No re no corrections has been submitted since then. >> All right. receive
erroneous information from your um your contractor or whomever it is, whatever company um it is that you're working with um because the city information about you know a um resubmission of your permit
application. And so here we are. This case has been ongoing for quite some time. So we have been working on it like China said we received this notification I would say by February March of this year
and we have been working on it. I I understand it's a little bit it has been going for some time. It's a little bit complicated not being on the city where this is happening. So we can know actually go to the department. It's not like putting excuses. We went
on April because we traveled back to Miami for a week and it was a little bit confusion with it stating that we did the entire driveway. So, we had to go to the city multiple times to explain this that we just added some concrete and that we can actually remove it.
So, we are trying to work on it, but it's a little bit complicated for us not being able to be there. I will call the contractor right now, both of them, to see what's happening, why it doesn't show on the city, but I'm basing on what she told me,
unfortunately. >> Right. What is the city requesting? What's the recommendation? >> I I'm I'm you know, and I hate to do this and and I'm on the spot, but you know, I I will honestly say, you know, I'm looking for an adjudication. you
know, we have been we we have been and I stress we have been talking. However, um you know, we've had the same conversation that we're having now. Whether it's you, you know, a family member, you know, someone needs to get down here and see what's going on. You
know, maybe to see what's going on. It's been two months of saying she submitted them and still as of today, as we hear the building department saying nothing is submitted. So right now I I would like an adjudication. >> All right. Based on the evidence um
I find that the violation does exist and um I will enter an adjudication. um let I'm going to give you 60 days because I I will take in um account
live here and um you know if it necessitates a trip on your part to come about this I want to give you the time that you need. Um so let me do
adjudication 60 days. There's no movement permit or um by that time the fine amount of $150. Good luck to you guys.
>> I'm sorry. Do you mind repeating how much was >> repeat from the beginning? >> No, no, the number the the dollar amount. I couldn't hear the dollar amount. All right. Um 60 days for
abatement date 350 is >> if you don't mind um Marissa when you know when you get off the phone just text me your contractor's name and their telephone number. Let me see you know if I can try to get in contact with them. Let them know I'm sure you will of
today's hearing and adjudication to maybe you know get them get the ball rolling a little bit um faster. But, you know, send me their their their name and number if you can. >> Just text it to me. I have other cases. So, don't call. Text it to me, please.
>> I will. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Um, Mr. Porter, I can see you. If you can please unmute. Good morning. This is case number seven.
Good morning, >> Mr. Millian. You you you both can go ahead and log out now. >> Thank you. >> You said number >> number seven. Yes. >> You want to call it and so that I can um

guess because of the year. This is a very old case. Um, the inspector for this case is Mr. Brantley Daniel. >> Please um state for the record and your property. Uh, my name is Jeffrey Ross Porter. I'm
environmental manager for SEMX Construction Materials Florida LLC, who's the owner of the property. I swear a man, please. >> Mr. Porter, if you can please raise your right hand. Do you solemnly swear or affirm the testimony you're about to
give in this proceeding shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? So, help you God. Please say, "I do." >> I do. >> Thank you. Good afternoon, Magistrate. Good afternoon, everyone. Inspector Daniel,
City of North Miami. I inherited this case from Inspector Jose Lopez. The case was originally um
created back in September 8th of 2021, nearly four years. um holds well, Inspector um Inspector Lopez um at the time he
initiated the violation advised that there were his description that there was um amendments cement mix excuse me that was dumped
into the storm drain. Um he advised that there were public work employees who witnessed um what happened. Once I inherited the case, I went ahead
and I spoke with Jeff Gimemer, the assistant director for the public works department. And I'm going to read his email. He sent me the email. And um Cindy was also CCed on the email back on August 21st, 2025. And it
reads, "Good morning. The two employees that responded to the incident in 2021, Carlos Garcia and Christopher Hernandez have both retired from the city. I searched our public works folder and could not
find any records on file or the incident. Any communication that you have from these employees on incident would be all that the city has from public works. I spoke with Tom Aiano and the incident was caused by
sediments from the production plant washing into the storm drain, not someone directly dumping into the drain. So that was the email sent by assistant director Jeff Gimer on August
21st, 2025. So the witnesses uh they're no longer work for the city. So I don't see how we can move forward with this case. So I I wouldn't I wouldn't
issue any fine or or anything of that nature. So I just I just leave it in your hands, your honor. hands are tied. I mean, I don't make up the facts. Yeah. You present the case need that.
Um, can you guys hear me? >> So, if I have um no witnesses, no one who can testify and um so there is no case until Mr. reporter. Um, you said you are the list, right? Or
>> Yes, I'm the environmental manager for SEMX. >> Okay. All right. Well, to the extent that you can do something, submit or um, you know, whatever. But as far as I'm concerned, this case is
closed or dismissed because we we don't have any witnesses who can testify as what happened. I would say that I would like to say that we have improved our maintenance procedures at the site. Uh we've cleaned
out the grade at our own cost and we're also using a temporary filter cloth to help protect the inlet which we'll replace at a regular interval just to be on the safe side. Well, I think these are the type of um property owners

uh for not renewing their business tax receipt. On December 18th, 2023, I opened a notice of violation in regard to the business not having um excuse me, for failing to renew the business tax receipt. Uh the the business tax receipt
expired on September 30th, 2022. Um again, I opened the violation on December 18th, 2023. I posted the notice of violation at the property and I also mailed the notice of violation to the property owner. Um as of August 5th, 2025, um I posted the notice to appear
at the property. Um and correction, I handd delivered uh the notice to appear um to Mr. Bruno himself on August 5th. And on August 21st, 2025, as the final reinspection date, um the business failed to renew the business tax
receipt. And again, the business has not renewed since September 30th, 2022. >> All right, sir. [Music] Miami. [Music] That's receive.
I know I have many I've made many mistakes. I had two different people handling my um well all my paperwork and my licensing. They did not deliver. They did not do
their job. Well, I want to do whatever it takes to make this right and I want I want my uh tax received issue solved as soon as possible. And from my
aunt, once again, I do apologize for the mistakes I've done. >> How long have you been in business? since 2010. >> I didn't hear that. I'm sorry. >> Since 2010.
>> And then you've been operating without um the business tax receipt since 2022. >> Yes. Business tax receipt. No, I've had the business tax received since 2021, >> correct? So, that means you have So, he
hasn't had it since 2021 or he last had it in 2021. >> He hasn't renewed since September 30th, 2022. >> Okay. I'm trying to I'm sorry. I'm trying to go ahead and access the account. We're a little short staffed here, so I'm being pulled into three different directions. Um, give me just a
moment to access his account. >> What's the address again, Jonathan? I'm sorry. >> Um, it's 475 Northeast 123rd Street, >> Mimos Mozarella. >> Okay. So um madame magistrate so what happened with this business was um
during renewal season every year we go through an audit process we make sure state licensing is in is on point sunb registration is on point um so we reached out back on let's see
back in 2021 to please provide state lensure before releasing the renewed business tax receipt. So we've gone many years trying to get a hold of state lensure. We've haven't released any BTRs since. So it looks like the last business tax receipt and certificate of
use that we released was probably the one that expires 2022. So the one that expires September 30th, 2022. Um after that he has not been issued licensing. So, it turns out he
was never approved for a restaurant per DM. And per our own zoning, he was approved as a grocery store. Hold on, I have his application here. Um, and Durm's instructions were specifically no
food preparation or processing allowed. So, literally a like a like a like a market, like a like a little grocery market. So, he has been operating as a restaurant for quite a while. Apparently, he has understood based on our last conversation that he will
revert the use back to what was initially approved. He will be ceasing all restaurant um operations. >> Oh my god. Mr. Padron, one second. I apologize, Mr. Interpreter. I don't know if it's your first time with us. At any time, because sometimes we tend to
forget, right there. >> Oh, I forgot. >> Um and I know that it's a lot for you to remember. just raise your hand so that we can remember you're here and we need to stop. Did you get everything that Mr. Padron say or is there anything that you would like for us to repeat?
>> I understand everything that he has said. However, um I cannot recall exactly what he said. So, we may need start over. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> I can start over and I'll and I'll do it. I'll I'll take breaks. >> Yes. Um
part of the BTR and certificate of use renewal process every year is an audit process to make sure state lensure some registration are all active. Okay.
[Music] Okay. Right. So, what the last time that this business was issued their business tax and certificate of use was for fiscal year ending um September 30th, 2022.
After that, no licenses were issued because we've been asking for copies of their state license or their state licenses. Business tax. Right. Um, this business was never approved as a restaurant. It was only approved as a market. Her derm, which is
the Miami date county department of environmental resource management and our own zoning division. [Music] department county. Um, so Durham's explicit instructions
upon approval were no food preparation or Hold on. Where did I just have it? No food preparation or processing instruction. That being said, the business owner has agreed to revert back to the original
approved use, which is a market. Um he is removing menus, um advertisements for prepared foods, um everything that indicates a that there was a restaurant there before, all is being removed and he has
been showing um due diligence in that. He has asked for obviously for time to to complete that process because he has been operating as a restaurant for quite a few years. So it'll take some time to revert back to the market use. Um, I'm not opposed to giving him time to
complete this. I'm done. >> All right. >> So, is this a reset or is it an adjudication? More time. >> Um, special magistrate, I would request for an adjudication. um for the business
not having a business tax receipt, but I but for more time as well. Um preferably maybe 60 days. Um again, he is working with the development services department um to um correct the violation.
>> All right. >> Has he ever been fined? >> He has never been fined. No, this is the first time case that is appearing for the first time. Clearly, Mr. Pon, you knew that you were not licensed as a restaurant, that you
were not supposed to be serving and preparing food at that location. Correct? Correct. >> Correct. >> All right. You've been a business owner in this city for u well over a decade.
Um >> and I go ahead. >> Correct. >> Correct. Um I will take um you know based on the testimony presented by um both Inspector
Lamestro and Mr. Padron um this is what I'm going to do. Um I'm going to enter an adjudication because I find that your violation. Um, I am going to enter a
one-time fine against you, um, in the amount of $750. Um, and I'm also going to give you the time that Mr. Pone had requested. Um, so let's give him 60 days. Is that enough
time, Mr. Pone? I can go up to 90. Um, but do we need Yes, Mr. Interpreter. Go ahead, sir. >> Okay. Should I also interpret the part about the 60 or 90 days? >> No. Let me hear from uh Mr. for drone.
Um 60 or 90 days for reset. >> I think 60 days should should be sufficient. >> All right, let's do 60 days. So I my understanding is that you're working diligently to try to revert it back to a market which is what it was supposed to
have been originally or at all times. So um let's come back in 60 days to see where we are in the process. Perfect. >> Perfect. Thank you very much. >> You're welcome, sir. Have a great day.
>> Thank you, >> Misty. My apologies. You said it was a one-time fine or is it it was Did I hear that part right or no? >> It is a one time fine. Yes. >> Okay. Okay. Miss uh Whitney

Magistrate. Inspector Daniel, city of North Miami. I initiated the case. Well, sorry, initiated the violation against a set of property 1335 Northwest 11th Avenue back in uh
February of 2024. Um I was able to see that there was a new wooden fence that was installed without the permit. I went ahead and
submitted the violation and from that point up until now I have not received any communication from the homeowner.
So here we are today. >> All right, Miss Monestine was going on. Do you understand that you guys needed to um pull a permit? >> Um yeah, we did. We submitted a after the fact permit. I got an email
confirming the submission on May 28th, 2024. I'm not sure how to get in contact with the inspector or how I mean I've never seen I've never seen you before. >> Okay. >> We got the notice and we did the the
after what is it called? after the fact permit >> you don't and you don't see it in your system um inspector >> um I did see that they applied for it but there has been there has not been any traction beyond
that date and you know my phone number has been listed I've left violations I left notice to appear and my phone number is at the bottom of the violation >> but have the city take um have the city made a decision on it.
>> What's the next? >> Yeah. So, so what's >> Go ahead. >> No. So, what would be the next steps? Cuz it says to apply for the after the fact the permit and then that's what we did. So, I'm not sure what to do next. I'm looking at the paper now. I don't see where would your phone number be
listed. >> Maybe >> I do know my h >> I'm sorry, ma'am. Go ahead. I didn't mean to cut you off. I do know um I mean I'm speaking on behalf of my husband cuz he's at work, but um I do know he did he did call the city and they said they see that they saw the permit. So I'm not
sure. Well, I don't know. I don't know what's what. I guess you can tell me. >> Okay, let me hear back from from you guys. If they have submitted um the application, is it the next step to wait for the city to make a determination?
>> Yes, your honor. Um, but at least from my I mean it's been over a year now. Well, yeah, over a year, so I'm not sure. I'm assuming that there's a um delay. Maybe someone in the building department can shed some light on what's going on with the application.
>> I'm going to finish the orders for for the city. >> Was the application submitted online? How was it submitted if I if you don't mind me asking? >> Yeah, it was submitted online. >> Yeah, I think that may be the problem in itself. Um and Inspector Daniel in building department could probably say
we're no we don't take the applications online anymore. When we went through that big hack um about a year ago they um ceased and deceased I mean assist and deceased um accepting those applications. Um >> she might just be sitting in limbo
somewhere. Someone should have contacted her >> first and foremost. Then the city needs to remove um the ability for owners to be able to submit an application. And if this if the owner successfully submitted an application and received confirmation
from the city, then they have done their part. Okay, I see inspector um Pressy's hands up. Yes, inspector. I'll let you speak on it, but um inspector >> Oh. Um give
>> Hello. Can you hear me? >> Can hear you now. >> Um the address is 13325 Northwest 11th Avenue. >> Yes. >> Correct. >> Okay. And this is for the fence that I'm looking at now. >> Yes.
Second. Yes. So, they applied online. Unfortunately, we don't do online permits. Um, people was notified what the ones who did apply online um to let them know they need to submit in person, but since then, I don't have
anything in the system, but we did notify everybody that we don't have um online permits once this um the system has did get um hacked. So, if they haven't submitted anything since last year, um, is they have to
submit the the information in person. All right. This is what I'm going to do. Miss Monestain, you and your husband needs to resubmit um the application in person. Um, so I'm going to give you 60
days to do that. Okay? I'm going to reset your case. I'm not going to um ratify the fine. I'm going to reset your case. I'm giving you 60 days. That's more an input time. Not only submit your
application, but hopefully get some sort of a response from the city. It is your responsibility to follow up. Mhm. >> So you need to follow up with them once
the application have been resubmitted and um so that we can get this thing resolved. So I will 60 days. Any questions? >> Um so just go to the the the building
permit building and just do it there. >> Yes, you need to come to the building department. The address is 12340 Northeast 8th Avenue. We next go the code enforcement. You're going to bring in two sets of plan along with that building permit application. Sign and notoriize. If um long as you bring your
ID and your property owner of the application, we would um notoriize the application inhouse. Um bring in the specs for the fence that you did um put up. Um you just have to make sure you in compliance with the rules and regulation
with the um zoning department in order for you to um place the fence. It look pretty high, but um just submit the application along with the specs and you have to have a current survey. The survey can be no more than a year old.
>> Okay. Is it okay? I'll look. Is there a way I can find online everything you just said? Because I'm not remember all of that. You can try to go on that line to find out the zoning requirements, but as far as the building permit application, you won't be able to find the information
that I just said online. Um, you just have to make sure you have the building permit application, the information for the type of fence that you have. So, that's the details of the fence, and you need a current survey. So, you need three things that you need to bring to us. The application, the fence detail, and a
current survey. >> Okay? Okay. >> And you need two sets of the detail and the current survey. >> Okay. >> All right. Good luck to you. >> All right. Thank you. >> Thank you, your honor.
>> Thank you, sir. [Music] >> Thank you. I'm sorry. Next one to be called is now going to be U number 52 52. [Music] We still have people.
>> Oh, yes, ma'am. We do. >> Okay. >> Um, number 52, uh, Wind Winark Condo, MHBIO 2023 01038. Found guilty by magistrate
by July 24th, 2024. Fine set at 350 + 100 cost assessment. >> Great. Good afternoon. Um, Mr. Porto, can you um state your full name in relationship to the property?
>> Yes, absolutely. Um, good afternoon to all. Uh, my name is Gileri Porto. I am the association's manager. >> Thank you, >> Mr. Porto. If you can please raise your right hand. Uh, do you solemnly swear or affirm the
testimony you're about to give in this proceeding shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? So, help you God, please say I do. >> I do. >> Thank you. And inspector for this case is uh Mr. Rley Daniels.
>> Good afternoon everyone. Good afternoon, Magistrate. Inspector Daniel, city of North Miami. Uh, this case has been been drawn out for quite some time. Um, initially when I conducted the annual
housing inspection back in June of 2023, I'm not sure if Mr. Orto was the manager at that time. I don't believe he was, but he um he can confirm that um whenever he's able to speak. um you know
rebar um needs to be done. Um, I cited the property. I was in communications um, a little bit and um,
we just haven't seen I I believe once new management came on. There was some other paperwork um, that needed to be submitted, you know, um, or that needed to be signed or a contract that needed to be assessed. Not sure um exactly what
took place, but here we are over two years later and we're still at the same point. So, I don't think there's been any um advancement in regards to repairing
the rebar. Uh oh, sorry. I don't know if >> you can proceed. >> Thank you. Uh yeah, so like uh Inspector Daniel mentioned, I was not uh involved with the association when this uh was originally assessed. However, the
directors did brief me that it's kind of stemmed from uh from an owner that had a little bit of spalling fall on her on her balcony floor and she reported it to the city and she created this uh uh investigation, I guess, even though it was part of a annual housing inspection.
And you can see uh some areas like you see there on the photos a little bit of spalling. And luckily when I came on board the association already had engaged the structural civil engineer AB+ which report uh already has been submitted um months ago to the to the
building department where he states that yes there's not only work needed on the balcony. it's time that they they do some extra stuff. But since this is uh specific to the balcony, the violation specific to the balcony. I provided uh uh the engineers report saying that the
balcony can still be used and they're still habitable. Half of the building, the north side of the building doesn't even have balconies. There's only about 20 balconies for 51 units and they could still be be assessed. Not only that the association is now running from the responsibility but we have also now
engaged a second engineer uh because we they felt that the first was um trying to take opportunity of the situation trying to take advantage so they went with an engineer that they liked a little more. He also has a sign and sealed report that I submitted that also states the balcony are clear. We chipped
away all the tiles for these balconies so the engineer can inspect them. So none of the balconies have tile. So the bare concrete is exposed. Uh both engineers exposed it with this condition. Uh the association is now
uh because a lot of these they're going to require some of the work to repair from what I understand. It's going to require some invasive work that can go to the units and then they will need impact windows. I I mean they'll guess they replace their windows and since they're going to replace they have to meet the the
building code that that will uh be impacted. So we're this is going to be more than just a balcony. What I'm trying to get to it's going to be more than just a balcony restoration. Uh in fact you see the engineering report he mentions other areas in the building in more significant need than the
balconies. So um so yeah that's um that's what we have. We're in progress of organizing this to special assess the owners. They're most likely going to need a loan, for sure going to need a loan. It's going to be a big job. This is lowincome um community here in North
Miami and they're going to need a facility of a line of credit which will also take some time to uh to build. Um so yeah, that's where we we're stated right now.
>> Um let me just say that we appreciate um your testimony that you have already went ahead and submitted the engineer report because anyone up here will always tell you whenever it comes to stuff like this, I always u make a
ruling and make an order requesting that we get an engineering report to tell us um you know the safety um you know any safety issues um regarding the the structure. So, I'm glad that you indicated that, you know, at least one
has already been submitted to the city. Um I don't know if um Inspector Pressie um has anything that she'd like to add in terms of that um or at least confirm receipt
or Mr. Daniel, I don't know if you are aware that it has been submitted if you um can speak on it. Yes, your honor. Um, I did receive um the email, but um I if I recall, I did forward that email to
>> Miss Pressy and um letting her know that he did send it did send the engineering report to me, but if I remember correctly, that report has to be submitted in hand. Uh and I believe I did um email Miss Pressy. I'm looking here. Let me check my email and maybe
she can confirm. Not sure. Um, let me see. I believe I did forward it to her. Checking my email. Let's see. >> And it's um >> I can definitely um >> Yes. Um I'm looking at the email. So
Shnie did email me and she sent an email to winward northmiami.com. Uh, and her email reads, "Good evening. Please be advised the original um reertification report must be submitted
in person. All pages, including the pictures, must be signed and sealed. No exception." That was Shaunie's email sent on June 4th, 2025. >> All right. So, Mr. portal. I'm going to need you or your engineer to submit the
report or which one has to be submitted >> in person. >> The original reertification report must be submitted in person. Those are Shaunie uh words in
the email. >> Okay. Uh sorry, I must have overlooked that uh that in person part. I definitely have it. It's a 52page report. I can uh print it out and deliver it. Uh we're literally I think like three blocks away
from from the building department. So I could definitely make that happen. Um and since that email, we have another engineer report. So if you know from a second engineer signed and sealed, I could deliver that second one as well, which you guys don't have. It's newer.
Um it's a newer document. >> Okay. Um inspector, I see you had your hand raised. Inspector Pressie. >> No, I was just going to re um piggyback off what he just said. Just make sure that that report is signed and seal original. Each page need to be stamped
including pictures. Okay. So, all pages need to be stamped and sealed and delivered here in the office in person. If your amps on the electrical is over 400, you need a infrared report. Okay? I will
not accept it if you don't have everything in compliance. Okay. >> Okay. Yeah, we have the electrical. It has some comments on it, but we have the the thermal imaging and all that. I remember seeing that. I will deliver that as well. >> No problem. >> All right. So, now that we have the
engineering report out of the way, um when is this um when is this job going to be uh completed? Uh we we're going to revisit with with uh contractors. We have to do our due this
is a condo. We have to do our due diligence to uh to bid out with at least three vendors. They do have a general contractor, the one that helped them remove the tiles. They have a GC that they like. Um but you know, we have to do the schedule for September 27th. And then I
think the contractor, oh I'm sorry, the bid meeting which is they visit the property engineer ask engineer question is for the 27th and I think they have another uh seven days or two weeks to submit the the bid in a closed form. There's like some protocols there that
they the contractors must follow. So I think and then the funding part is where it gets tricky. the magistrate. Uh I know I' I've worked with uh several other associations and and the banks, they have their own due diligence process to release these construction
loans and I would hate to give a date that we can't meet. Um >> you know, because I think the bank, the financial, the lender would be the most time consuming one, but by then we can already maybe file for a permit and show
a lot of compliance. um you know, select the vendor, get him to pay the permit fees, apply for for that. Uh they might as well be doing their their reertification, not only repair. Again, this the violation is specifically for balconies, but we will
be applying for a complete building reertification um structural permit. >> All right. So, let me give you 60 days since I see that you are diligently trying to um
um work the case. Let me um that would be November 5th. All right, let's reset 60 days. Madame clerk, >> thank you. >> All right, sir. Good luck to you and make sure that you follow up with um
building inspector with the um certified report. >> I will thank you everyone. Have a good rest of your day. >> Be clear. Let me be clear on the ruling the uh the inspect so that think that you have 60 days for the report. The
report itself I'm going to give you um do you want a week or two weeks to submit those? Uh since it it has to be signed, I'm going to track down the engineer to get to make sure that it's stamped. So, two weeks would be ideal just to make sure it gets done timely because I the copy that we have I have
to see. We have a physical copy in our in the card room there. I'm not sure if those are every page signed and stamped. >> Got it. So, let's do two weeks for the reports. >> I'm sorry. Before you make your ruling, one question to let him know. I'm so
sorry. All right, I forgot to tell you those pictures needs to be in color. So if you printing out anything and having him to sign and seal it, make sure those pictures are in color. >> Copy that. >> All right. >> All right. Did you get >> I couldn't hear you, but yes, I was
taking the notes. >> You got that? Okay. All right. I just want to make sure. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, my supporter. >> Thank you. Thank you, everyone. Thank you. Mega Street. >> Okay. Brain Wish,
Green Wish. I saw them somewhere here. Okay, here we go. Um, this is cases number 22 and 23. Okay, I cannot see or hear ring witch ink.
Again, please enable camera and microphone. We cannot hear or see you Okay. All right. Moving on. Um, see,
um, M Michelle Quto, I am promoting you to be a panelist. If you can please accept it. >> We're here. I'm sorry. We got disconnected. Yeah, this is Greenwich. >> Okay, Michelle, give me one minute. Let me let's let me finish with this case.
Uh, we cannot see you, Green Wish. >> Let's I'm trying to do it now from my phone. Uh, camera. >> There we go. Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Okay, so case number >> case number 22. Sorry about that.
Green Witch Association, Inc. CF OB2023 0004 A2 found guilty by Magister Kasu. Must obey by August 18th, 2025. Fine set at $250 plus 100 cost assessment. The inspector

>> Thank you. >> You may proceed. Um, Inspector Sanders, >> Shannana Sanders, neighborhood service inspector for the city of North Miami. Um, I can hear these cases together. They they kind of go together. They
first one is CE FOB 202300482. And for the certificate of use, CECCU 202300807. Um both of these cases have already been adjudicated. They were initially open just to um that you um give you Oh, it was heard by you. So
yeah, they were open originally May 11th, 2023. You gave an adjudication as of my last reinspection being August 18th. Compliance has not been met. um they
have they have not to obtain and or secure the business tax receipt in or certificate of use. >> Who wants to talk first um as to why we have yet to obtain um the certificate of
use or business tax receipt? >> This is their explain. >> Okay. >> Okay. Turn on the camera. >> Yeah. Can you see me? I can see you. >> Sorry, we had to move to the iPhone because the computer turned off. So, we originally presented all the paperwork
to the city um to get a certificate of use and the tax receipt after and >> and when then we get notifications saying that the owner needs to be signing all this paperwork and we
explained that we are a condominium association. Um, so we have a board. Um, after we went through that and that took a lot of months, the back and forth, um, we ended up having the certificate of
use approved by they count. >> Now we need it needs to be approved by the city of North Miami. So when we are dealing with with the city of North Miami that I want in person to talk to um Anna Maria from um the the city um
she said that because we have some open permits um we cannot close she cannot provide the certificate of use. Now we are a new property management company since January. We understand that this is from before and last year this
associate this building had three different property man four different property management companies. >> So likely we're here more than six months to handle this. Um and we are in the process of closing these open
permits from many years um ago. Um >> but I think I think well let me just add something. um hike the the person that was handling the in other words right now the people that are in control of actually issuing or not issuing the the certificate of use is the city because
the person that um the person that was handling the they said that the only reason they could not use issue the certificate of use is because we have two open permits that relate to our restoration that was completed and the letter of completion was already
submitted to the from our engineers saying that all repairs have been completed and the permits were closed. So at this point there is no reason to hold up our certificate of use for these two permits because they're closed. So I think that right now we're on the cusp of being
able to get it and it's really up to your department to issue it. It's not that we haven't done what we need to do. We've turned in all the documents. We've closed all the permits. We've issued we've presented a letter from our engineers saying that all repairs have been completed. So there's no reason why
we don't have the certificate of use other than stuck in the city with the you know whatever the requirements are. >> So we lay that in your hands. What are we supposed to do then? >> Well, but at this present time all the
pending violations have not been taken care of. Um I understand and I'm looking in the computer. you still have two pending violations that still need to be taken care of, which is holding it up. I'm understanding through Raphael. He's
having a little trouble with his um computer, but he just gave me a call stating that he's also notified you guys that you need to submit the 40-year building um certification before they can issue you the certificate of use as
well. So those two, if not three things are holding you up. >> That was already submitted to you by our engineers. >> When was that submitted? >> Um two weeks ago. >> About few weeks ago. Yeah. >> About June. >> We gave you the 50-year electric the 40-year electrical and we gave you the
40-year structural and we gave you the letter of completion from our engineers. >> And let's wait a minute. Let's pause for a moment. Building department, are you there? Because the only thing that I'm seeing for the 40year um The last thing I see was from 2021
that was submitted for a 40-year reertification from you guys. Um, >> completion was 20 >> everything's completed. The permits are closed and and the and the so it's a question of getting it in front of the person that needs to have it in their
hands. There's there were four there were four quote unquote violations. They related to open permits. There was two of them that have to do with the 40-year which are basically just a question of getting you better turn that off. Okay. And the
other two, one is from 2009 that related to some electrical work and the other one's from 2018, but we were told by the person handling the certificate of use that they were going to disregard those two and they would just wanted us to make sure that we closed the 40-year.
So, it's a question the person inside your office to accept that we've done the 40 year already. It's done. It's closed and >> it's but but it's not closed. I is it's still showing it's pending. Um that's why I'm asking for them to chime in. It's it hasn't been closed.
>> Okay. But it is closed. It it is actually completely closed. It's just getting your department to acknowledge that somehow or to get the right paperwork in front of you, but it is actually completely closed and done. And we have here we can show you this is the letter from our engineers. I don't know
if you can see it here showing that everything has been completed and everything is closed. So >> okay here. >> Yes, I'm I'm coming on right now. Hold on. >> And at the same time has >> I'm sorry. Which address which address we talking about? 1470 Northeast.
>> Northeast 123rd Street. >> That's correct. And you and and as well while she's pulling hers up, you still have pending violations that still need to be taken care of as well. >> Two, we spoke to the person issuing the certificate of use about a week or two and Maria a couple weeks ago. She said
that she would use she would be able to issue the certificate of use without having to close the one from 2009 and 2018. Okay? because the 200 the one from 2019 was a painting permit that is directly related to all the work that we finally
we just did. So basically what we just did completely took care of that other permit and the one from 2009 is some electrical work that has to do with our elevators. We've been which been certified every single year since then. So I I I think that she said that she could ignore those two. So if that's
still not the case then let us know. But we have um we have a letter from the engineers that we sent to Promax which is a company that pulled the permit for 2018 saying that everything is closed as part of our 40 year which is also turned
into you. And the other thing is the 2009 electrical which nobody even knew about this until now recently that we were told and that one is also relating to our elevator which has been certified.
So I think all we got to do is just we've done everything that we have to do. The question is getting the paperwork in front of your department so that you guys could put it through your process. >> Okay. So, right now, while while we're on while we're on record, I want to say that the
>> bill needs to be renewed and closed. >> Right. Am I muted because I keep trying to chime in? >> Go ahead, Miss >> We could hear you >> at this to hear from Miss Pedrome if he's still if he's back with us. Um,
Mr. Miss Pressy, you can go first. >> Okay. So the 40 years reertification I sent I sent them out a denial letter on July 17th. The denial letter is telling them the corrections that needs to be made based on the report we receive. One
the property details listed in the report is are incorrect inaccurate and must be corrected to reflect an actual address on the property to identify. So on that actual report that was submitted the address was listed was incorrect.
That's one thing. The illumination for the parking lot that needs to be addressed. The electrical also needs to be addressed with issues there. Um, as for structural, it was repairs that needs to be identified and it needs to
be revised. All those corrections was mailed out July 17th. If you need a copy of this, you can stop by my office and I'll be glad to go over it and um, give you this information. And I also gave Anna, who you just talking about who work over there with the local business
tax, a copy of this same um denial letter to give to you cuz she asked me regarding this um was you in compliance with the 40-year um the reertification. I told her no and I gave her a copy of these comments to get along to you if you guys didn't get it
in the mail. >> So, this was actually emailed to greenwitch manager@outlook.com on August 20th. It says here, "Good morning, Vanessa. According to the phone call, I'm sending you the sheets of the bill of the of the building's 40-year resertification so you could submit
corrections." So, this was emailed on August 20th. >> Yes, your honor. And and we we did receive it. We the the errors on the report that they're referring to are typos on the address. That's all they are. We asked the engineer to go ahead
and redo the report and we are about we should be about to get that report from the electrical engineer. This is the electrical one now. Now the the the the lighting issues at the this report was done maybe like two months ago and the
issues that were uh identified with the lighting have to we're we're now engaged in getting proposals to repair those to basically do what the engineer says that we got to do. This is a lighting issues in the parking area, but we did turn in
the report and we did turn in the the the structural. So the as far as the structural having errors, we are not aware of that. If you send that to the uh the structural errors, did you send them to us or did you send them to the to the contractor
or to the engineer? >> It's all listed. Everything is listed under that one um letter that we'll see received. So you have to look at your letter and read the letter and make sure you guys make the corrections to the whole entire report. So just go over it if you want. Like I stated,
>> the letter that we got is from my recollection only address the electrical issues. Did it talk about structure? >> Sir, it does. It says yes, it does. It says correction to the electrical reertification report and it says electrical um correction to the structural resertification report. You
have to look at the letter real good. >> Okay. So we'll we'll address that with the engineers uh with both engineers. The structural and the the electrical engineer we already told them about the errors the structural I was not aware of. So I forgive I didn't see that. >> Okay. And then the the the report from
and the issue with the structure report and I stated in there based on your December of 2021 report concrete repairs was identified necessary to comply a revised report if once the repairs are made a revised structure report need to
be submitted that report was not submitted. So I'm telling you that I need an updated structure report and you need to make the correction to the electrical information. Once you submit the electrical report and the structural report, I would then go over it and review it and then if you are in
compliance, you will receive your compliance letter. >> Okay, that's what I'm saying. But I think that we basically uh uh it's a question of uh getting the right paperwork in front of you, but the association has already carried out uh
except for the lighting. Like I said, we just found out two months ago about the lighting. Other than that, the the association has already corrected all the all the all the structural issues. >> But you have not but at the same time he's saying you you did it but the report is incorrect. So you're not in compliance.
>> I agree. I agree. The report may be correct but we have >> we have a completion letter from the engineer which we can be glad to send to to the the magistrate or whoever wants to see it that says everything is completed and finalized. So in in fact there you know it's paperwork. What I
see here is just paperwork that needs to be getting and I understand paperwork is very important. I'm not denying that it has to be done. I'm just saying that to to to the magistrate that we've done everything that we we physically done everything that physically needed to be done. Now we're talking about paperwork.
So >> yeah. >> Okay. Hold up once and for all. Um the electric image with the electrical report the um for the infrared report that report indicated it was overheating in that area but I understand but what
I'm saying is that listen to what we trying to tell you. >> What we saying what you submitted is not valid. So corrections need to be made in order for you to be in compliance. what they saying they're not going to release the certificate of use until you come in
compliance. So, in order for you to be in in compliance, you have to address all the issues, not only the the 40-year reertification, the issue with code enforcement, and then you can revise, go back and go to Raphael them to get your
certificate of use or local business tax. But in order to get that, these issues need to be addressed. Not that's you saying is the minor address need to be corrected. Everything needs to be fixed in order for you to be in compliance with everything. Okay.
>> Let me ask you. Do you guys have a copy of what the inspector is? Um >> Yes, we do, ma'am. Yes, we do. Yes, we do. >> So, if it's I didn't mean to speak over you. What did you say? >> Yes, we do. We have We have the copy. We have the letter from the inspector. Yes.
>> All right. So then it's a matter of let me see um this matter is already adjudicated so we just need compliance. Let me uh Miss Pressy or Mr. Padron is
it um a pressing issue? Do you want that done within 30 days or um can we give him 60 days? We had requested an extension because we knew that there were these small things that needed to be turned in. But it basically we just did we you know we just found out about
these things and we had not had enough time to get it done. The engineer has already been notified of the errors and he's working on a revised report and and we have to we're also getting proposals for the uh for the lighting. So I think if we get 60 days I think we could go
ahead and get everything done. I defer my opinion to Shaunie since there's obviously structural and electrical issues there. So Shaunie, what do you what do you what do you think? >> Okay. My report was due in 2021. So it's just been lingering on forever. This
report need to be submitted ASAP before he goes to unsafe structure at this point. >> They didn't the project we couldn't get the project started for or until 2020. >> The restoration project began in 2022. 2022
crossed two years >> and that's because of the backlog of of construction. So the once the company was selected uh that was an issue then it became a bigger problem than anticipated originally by the engineer in 2018. So
we had to get a line of credit in order to continue and and do what the engineer >> on your own project. It wasn't something you could do from one day to the next and indeed um yeah so the process took much much
longer uh to do it right than uh we ever anticipated. Originally it was supposed to be done in 90 days. No, it took two years. >> All right. Let uh I I completely >> no >> of the 2020
um because I'm looking at a 2023 case. I didn't um for some reason it I missed you said um this was this has been ongoing since 2021. Um so
>> but we couldn't get everything we were it was dependent on construction company engineer financing >> I believe I believe the 2021 is it relates to the 40year and >> that's exactly what she's referring to. Yes. >> Yeah. In this case the one that we're
hearing currently which is number 22 is from 2023. >> Okay. All right. Um, >> I think if we get 60 days, I think we can get everything done. But, uh, I
think that it's it was humanly impossible to get this done until now. >> Our restore just left. >> They just finished. >> The letter of clearance from our engineer is dated June 5th. >> June 16.
>> June 16th. Okay. the m magistrate, you know, I would like to possibly, you know, give a short um extension date, you know, since they're saying, you know, clearly that the engineer is clearing everything clearly, you know, they seem like they they're all set and
ready to go from what they're stating. So, if we can and this again, this been 21 or 23 still now two years, four years that this is going on. Um, you know, I don't mind an an extension, but can we give it a short extension
um for compliance for for this case? Let's get it pushed along. >> 30 days and see where we are. Um, let's do 30. >> And um I'm sorry. Um should I read also 23? >> That that applies to both.
>> Okay. But just for the record, because I didn't read number 23. >> Oh, okay. Number 23, Green Witch Association, Inc. CE ZZU 202300807 found guilty by magistrass must have
paid by August 18th, 2025. Fine set at 250 + 100 cost assessment and the inspector for that case was Shannon Sanders and they're both tabled for 30 days. Correct. >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> All right. Good luck to you guys trying
to get as much as you can. appreciate your understanding. >> All right, puppy. >> This is I'm gonna call the very last attendee uh and then if you would like to take a break. Miss Michelle Quto,

for this case is Mr. Brantley Daniel. >> Ma'am, please >> name for the record and your relationship to this property. >> Sure. My name is Michelle Cavo and I am the sister of the property owner. His
name is Josel Calvo. If you can please raise your right hand. Do you solemnly swear or affirm the testimony you're about to give in this proceeding shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? So help you God. Please say I do. >> I do.
>> Thank you. >> Good afternoon everyone. Good afternoon magistrate Daniel seat of North Miami. I inherited this case from our former inspector's last manager, Jose Perez. He
cited the property back in November of 2021, so almost four calendar years in reference to a rear dock that was built uh along with repairs to the seaw
wall, but there was no permit um issued or there was no permit made for the uh rear dock that was um installed. So upon me taking over the case, that
was the best pictures that I can uh take and um of the course of going through the case. I did not see any attempts or any efforts from the homeowner in attempting to
obtain a permit or an after the fact permit for the rear dock. So, here we are today. >> All right. Um, Miss Gravado.
>> Yes. Good afternoon. Um, sorry that my brother couldn't make it today. He had chest pain, so he's at the urgent care, but I do have his notes. So, um, with respect, I would like to just clarify a few things. They, um, bought the property in late 2022. Um, and then
that's when they discovered that they had said that violation. So, in 2023, they hired a permitting company to assist them with all the um well to come into compliance, but supposedly that permit runner was trying to sort of I don't know, I guess negotiate with you
guys and say, "Oh, that was done before we even moved in here." We don't think that that's true. Um, and then in 2024, we had a quote for a new perma runner that was going to provide us with uh architectural plans, um, a contractor
who can, you know, go over everything. And we just paid the down payment for the permitting company. So, we're in the process, but um, of course, we know that it's been a long time. It's been many years, but we wanted to request that we have some time. We already have the
plans ready um according to the engineers. So that's about it really. >> Misty Smith, before you uh speak, I'mma uh thank her for um advising that. But I mean, had that been communicated either
with Mr. Lopez while he was here or even once I inherited the case, then I would have said yes, you know, let's go ahead. But there was I mean there were many I'm I'm sure many many many violations. I mean this is the first time I'm hearing
at least from when I inherited the case first time first communication from someone who actually lives there. So um >> it's up to you your honor. I mean this case is is four is going to be four years on the 21st.
>> So I leave it in your hands. Ma'am, >> can I just add one more thing? Sorry. Um, you know, obviously not to make excuses. We're aware that this is since 2021. Um, but I would also like to add, um, our family has, and again, like I'm sorry, I'm not trying to make any
excuses. Our family has been dealing with a few health issues. Like I said today, my brother is at the urgent care, so we're trying our best to try to get everything moving. And, you know, on his behalf, I apologize that we haven't reached out to the inspector. Um, you
know, I'm not trying to beg or anything. I'm just trying to explain sort of like what we have been experiencing like human to humans. Um if we can get any kind of extension that would be great. If not then I'm we're willing to do whatever we have to do to comply with the city. We don't want to things to get
any worse you know. >> So basically a dock without for um um permitting you know it's it's a hazard. you understand that it creates a an issue for um not just the property
visitors and u just just anyone just or everyone. And so for that in addition to the fact that this been ongoing for as long as it has
and um no one has the inspectors to say um you know this is where we are this is what we're trying to do extension
that's quite frank and typically or you're usually more flexible to be flexible when that you were facing a $1,000 fine. No one has done anything up and say,
"Hey, we're here and you know, you make this ruling and um you know, work with us." And so for that reason, I will ratify the fine amount retroactive to April 8, 2022.
Um, you know, just so you know that this amount really adds up and it's up to you guys in terms of what you do moving forward. Um, but that's my Okay, good luck to you. Thank you for showing up. >> Thank you. Just a question. So, what
exactly what does that mean then? Do we Sorry, I'm trying to make sure that I take the appropriate notes so I can tell. >> So, back in 20 um the the case was found guilty. >> Okay. >> Okay. And then what magistry means by being ratified is that all the fees for
$1,000 plus 100 is going to um go back starting at April 8th, 2022 and then it will continue to add up until you cure the case basically. >> Okay, got it. Understood. >> Great. Have a good afternoon.
>> Thank you. Likewise. >> All right, magistrate. Um, as of right now, there's no no more attendees before we continue. Um, for the translators, you can go ahead and and leave. We're
not needing you anymore. This is at 1:50 p.m. >> Okay. Thank you for using our services. Have a great day. >> Thank you. >> Thank you for resist. >> Thank you. Goodbye. >> Less minute break, guys. We'll come

Case number 24. Hans Jean Baptiste. CEVPR 202500232. of the inspector for this case is Miss Shana Sanders. Shana Sanders, neighborhood service inspector. This is a new case
for um building without permit. This permit was brought to my attention um by then director um Lazero Raymon. He called me um out to the property, think me, sent me an email
stating that we had gotten a few complaints regarding a large fence um that was installed at the rear insides of the property. So on April 1st of 2025, I went out there to visit the property. Um, as you see in the pictures
depicted, there is a um, wood fence that was installed on the sides and rear of the property. I made contact with the property owner as well as the occupant, the tenant of um, of that building who advised
um, he had installed the permit. he had installed the fence and that he was not removing um he was not removing the fence and to do what you need to do. Um I have not had further contact with the tented with the
tenant and or the property owner of my last reinspection on August 19th. The fence still remains um at the time of initial inspection it was um natural in color. I think like the vanilla kind
of color. Now I see that they have painted it black and have put some lights around it. But um um again as of my last reinspection the violation still remains and no permit application has
been submitted to the city for the fence that was installed. I am showing proper service was given. The notice to appear was posted at the property on July 29th. Um notice was mailed out
August 8th. I have not again heard anything else from the tenant since my um the business owner since my initial inspection. >> Okay. I'm by the photos, but did you say
that he said he was not taken down? That's the thing also. Um, you're so low all of a sudden. I'm not really sure why. >> Um, that's and forward to trying to hear you. >> Okay.
>> Yes. He stated he stated that he was not going to remove the fence and to, you know, move forward and do what you have to do. He even requested at that time for me to go ahead on that particular day and take it to the board, take it the magistrate, take it to whomever I
needed to take it to. But that um he is how the inside looked. >> This is the >> This was the inside of it when I did the initial inspection. Yes. >> Okay. And it's leaning. They're having wood pulled up the fence. And you said
this is a new one? No, what it was is stuff of before there was a 4ft fence that was surrounding the property of probably from what you're seeing in this picture here. You're seeing a four fence fence that was in already in need of repair and then they installed what I
would consider maybe I mean I'm I'm I'm five even and it's easily I would probably say eight feet in height that they just attached another fence side by side right behind it. So you're seeing again the existing fence that's partially falling down and then you see
the other fence that was installed behind it. So it's already a botched job and >> and he is um okay he asked you to take it to the board.
>> Yes. you know, I gave him more time and you know, he at that time then called um Lazero and they had a conversation. We were trying to work with him and get him to submit the applications. That was in
April as we see now we're in September and no applications have been um submitted to the city. there has been even more activity because again now he's painted it entirely black and he has now some lighting and things of that
nature. It's it's it's another apparatus now that he's attached and or installed um at the property. He has you know parties and and activities there at night um that he's you know clearly wants to keep going.
>> All right. Just remind me again of of um notice for today's hearing. >> Sure. I um posted a notice to >> Go ahead. I'm sorry. >> It was August the 8th. >> I'm sorry. Um yeah, August 8th. They the notice was mailed out by administrative
staff on August 8th. I also posted the property on July 29th. Um on July 29th, 2025. So posted it in. It was mailed out. Okay. Based on the underbody, the code

color. Um all I asked was for them to obtain a permit for it and they failed to do so. Um on August 5th, 2025, I posted the notice to appear for the magistrate and by August 21st, the final reinspection date, um the business failed to obtain a permit nor apply to
uh for the permit, >> right? would have been an easy fix, but it seems like they're not don't want to comply. >> That's a restaurant. >> The business is a hookah lounge. It is a
nightclub. um uh the tenant that runs the business. We've had several issues uh in regards to loud music. Uh again, building uh without a permit. Uh they have an RV on the property that's not scheduled for this hearing, but you know, they have multiple code
violations. And again, it's these are easy fixes where it's just come to the city, you know, make a payment and move on or just move an RV or whatever the case may be. Um but they have failed to comply.

over a year now. Um, I thought he fully understood that it needed to be completely removed from the property, but as of my last reinspection on August 18th, the vehicle still remained. And again, as you see in the picture depicted, only thing he did was put a

don't >> center >> I know um they had the last time someone came to the office it was maybe um maybe like in March I believe maybe March or April
>> of what year >> of this year and they supposed to renew the permit they have some open permits that's supposed to be renewed but um they had to go back to the county but I haven't seen them since then. Um, we talked about the building, but they supposed to renew, but they haven't came

>> but no up-to-date um, structural um, letter was submitted. >> Okay. >> From the engineer. I believe what can be done next is that our building official would proceed with perhaps deeming them an unsafe structure
