>> Good morning. >> Um, just want to give you a brief summary and general like a reminder of what this was all about. You we you you saw us before and uh this is about of course the the business seat which is tied into the certificate of use which is the issue. So this issue started in
2023. Uh we are the third management company at this property. Since this is started, we began working here in January 2025. The association has already turned in all the documents requested by the city concerning the certificate of use, but the city is has to hold up the certificate because the
association had not completed its 40-year reertification. At the last hearing, we requested additional time in your honor graciously allowed us 60 more days, although we had requested a little bit more time. The association hired an engineer to conduct a 40-year reertification process in 2021. In 2022,
the association hired restore construction to begin what was originally estimated to be a $300,000 project, which when completed now in 2025 was almost $2.4 million. The process of delay because the association had to negotiate a $3.5 million line of credit in order to pay for the
restoration project. The status of the structural portion of the reertification is that the restoration project has now been completed. The permits closed and the structural engineers turned in their final clear reports which have been turned into the city to officer M is
uh the status of the electrical port for the re resertification is that the engineers completed their inspection and we're now working on the deficiency uh safe to occupy letter from the electrical engineer has also been turned into the city also to mash my area other than some electrical repairs to
the pudding tower that have already been completed by Alex electrical the two remaining issues are the EFCI eyes in the parking lot illumination on the GCFI issue. The building official that is handing the certificate of use is requiring that the 221 owners that have
to show evidence of compliance with the GS GFCI issue would have to pull 221 individual permits in order to comply. As you may know, your honor, getting all the owners to do that in a short time is like burning tax. We we just not enough time. But we tried to go a different
way, which is to hire a single contractor to resolve the GFCI issues and the smoke alarm issues identified by the engineers. But the city denied the permit application to the association turns in a letter certifying that all the owners have consented to this process. We found a doubt about this
yesterday. Okay. On the parking lot elimination issue, LC Power Electrical was chosen after bids were submitted based on the engineer specifications. The contract was for 26,000 and they now submitted a permanent application. and I can give you the number if you're interested. So, we are making progress.
Um, the LC Power should be completing the this work in about the next 30 or 45 days and we need to get this the G the GFCIS have already been inspected so we know which ones have to be done and the association have to step in and do this
for for the owners uh because we can't rely on the owners. So, there's a lot of absentee owners here. People just don't listen and we need to get this done. So the association is going to have to take over and do this um directly. So that's where we are and we expect to request
another 45 days, 60 days to begin. >> Okay. Um officer St. Inspector Sanders, is this about correct? >> Um they do have a lot of issues going on at the property. So, yes, it it it is correct that they need to get some
things done before we're able to issue the this is sex receipt and certificate of use. >> Right. It appears they've made great progress from the last time we were here. if everything that um the general I'm
sorry the GM has indicated >> um if what he has is indicated is um indeed true. I would say some progress have been made. I would like to possibly cross reference to verify and make sure that those permits that he's mentioning has indeed been closed because I'm
looking here as he was speaking. I still see at least 17 violations that still remain open for that property including the electrical and building and things of that nature dating back to 2021,
2019, 2012. So again, I I I don't mind putting on the record that's indeed if what he's saying is true because I still see these permits in violation is open and pending. >> May I address May I address the statement you're >> Yes, please.
>> Okay. Um if you look at the at the at the certificate of use application, those other issues that she's talking about uh are not mentioned. Those are things from like 2009, 2018. There was a prior there was a prior open permit from a painting
company that could be basically closed now because all the issues that were brought up on that violation have been taken care of as far as you know with the with this restoration process. All exterior issues have been repaired and perisclosed and clear reports from the
engineers handed to the city. So, uh some of the things that she's talking about there are taken care of already. Uh it's just a matter of getting the city to acknowledge that uh we have the the evidence and the city already has those reports. So as to you know I would
like her to be more specific. The things from 2009 have to do with our elevator that we have a u we had some electrical work done in 2009 and uh we don't even the electrical contractor that did that. We don't even know where he's at, but we're working on getting our final
certification for the elevator. And we were told by the city that if we did that, that that would be okay. So, the only issues that we're working on that we think should be I mean that you've raised at the last hearing and that are relevant to the certificate of use are the ones that relate to the to the
restor to the uh reertification process, not all these other violations that that are not relevant in my opinion. but magistrate, you know, and I've met with the management. I've I've met with um the business tax receipt office. We've
had um conference calls. It has been definitely explained to them that the certificate of use and business sex receipt won't be issued until those concerns are addressed. I understand that he's saying this been 2009 and it was under a different management. However, as I explained to him, the
problem proceeds with the property, so it still needs to be taken care of before those things are issued. >> Yeah. But that on the on the last letter that you issued, you didn't mention any of those things because we had already overcome those issues in discussions with the city. So now, the fact that you
go back to those issues shows me that there's no real effort here to try to we're trying to comply. We are definitely trying to comply. We've made efforts spent $2.5 $5 million on on restoration and with all the proper permits and the engineers and the city
is just throwing one obstacle after the other. I really object to this process. But the whole issue here is a difficult use. You guys could you know you know that all everything has been inspected. We have a Ishmael building official Michelle told me that as long as we had
a safe to occupy letter from the engineer on the electrical side that that would be okay. That has already been turned into the city. So this certificate of use issue uh you know it's a it's a bureaucratic link. It's it's not really uh I don't think it's serving any public purpose with all
respect. It it doesn't really all you know we're trying we're very we've turned in all the work all the paperwork for the certificate of use. We're willing to pay and be we're willing to pay the business tax relief and this process is just being drawn out for we're working on on all those things and
they'll be completed in the next 45 to 60 days but uh you know >> all right here's here's I'm surprised Mr. Pron does not have his hand up. >> Me too. Me too because we we spoke about this
>> then um I the one thing I'm going to say sir if you have an issue with the process you need to you're taking it up with the to the wrong person um you can take that up with counsel and um I don't know where Mr. for drone.
>> But but I'm sorry to interrupt, but if you look at the letter that was issued, the letter that you issued about the last thing that you issued regarding the certificate of use only mentions the reertification. It doesn't talk about the stuff from 2009. It doesn't. So we were told we were told by the
certificate of use office that those issues would be basically uh put to the side on we can get this done which is the important thing. So now that's being brought back up to fight. It doesn't make it basically we're you know, we you understand that if a
contractor is not even around, how can we even go back to them and say, "Hey, you need to close the permit." It's it's not that least, especially in 60 days. So, all we're asking is more time. We will eventually take care of everything. And I would like I'm requesting that you
somehow since you've already got all the clear reports and all the safe to occupy letters from both engineers that you basically have the certificate of use section allow us to go ahead and do that and pay you the business tax receipt and continue to work with us on the on the
uh permit issues because we will get them done and we've shown you that we are willing to comply and we're working on it and we've been >> if I may >> um can you hear me? My my Zoom is frozen. So, I don't know if you can see me or if you can hear me. >> Yes, >> we can see you.
>> We can hear you but not see you, Rafael. >> Yeah. No, my my Zoom is frozen. It seems to happen every meeting. Um, okay. So, I I would not be opposed to granting more time. Unfortunately, our code does bar us from moving forward with a certificate of use process until open
permits are closed and until the 40-year reertification has been obtained. But I do acknowledge that they have made um advancements in good faith and I wouldn't be opposed to granting more time. >> Okay. Uh what I would suggest that you
guys do is um get together with um Inspector Sanders and um Mr. Padron so that you understand exactly what is um you know what it is that you guys need
to do. um you know what is expected and and required in order for you guys to move forward with this process. It may be a miscommunication because um both inspector and I've been doing this for many many years and
that's usually the case um is that you need to take care of any open permits. you need to take care of um you know everything that's listed on the 40 years reertification uh before you're able to get your your
certificate of use. So um get together with the inspectors and um at least they can see um how far you've come, all the progress that has been made and how we're going to use move forward. Um, so
what I'm going to do is I will grant you guys 60 days. Um, I think that's um amp input time to do what needs to be done. So hopefully you guys may not have to come back here
in um January because everything would have been taken care of and the the certificates would have been issued. I see someone has their hands up. You can >> Thank you. Thank you very much for additional time. That's exactly what we need. And I'm I'm going to prove to you that we are people of good faith and
we're trying to get this done as soon as we can. And I would like to request just one thing that any future meetings with the building officer that Mr. Padron also be there. >> Okay. All right. So you guys have um their contact information. Go ahead and
use that 60 days because remember we do have holidays in between. So, um, get the best use out of the next 60 days to see if we can get this matter resolved. >> Thank you. >> Let me go ahead and read the other case
because the 17th we I never read number 17. >> Yes. Go ahead. >> Case number 17, Green Witch Association, Inc. CE Zcu 202300807 found guilty by magistr kazu was abate

Case number 27 Manuel Gara C E F A C 2023 000033 found guilty by magistr must abate by July 19th 2024 set at $500 plus 100 cost
assessment the inspector for this case is Mr. Jamie George. >> Good morning, Spect Jamie for the city of North Miami. >> Uh, this case um has some history to it was previously heard. Um, I have posted
the notice to appear on >> apartment 504. Um, but I have never been able to make contact with them. They never called me. Um, I actually just learned today that it's um the original owner passed away
and >> it's I guess it's being run by someone else like the uh it's like an estate. >> So things I I would uh let Trafina kind of testify about what's going on in her in
her unit >> and um and everything else she knows about the the current owner. There are certain things that could have >> Miss Lewis. It's Miss Lewis, correct? >> Yes. Yes. >> All right. Miss Lewis, um, you are the
the tenant, I'm going to assume. >> I'm the owner. >> You're the owner. >> Yes. 404. Yes. Unit 404. >> All right. Then hold on. Are we talking about the same >> item?
>> Yeah. So the um Yeah. >> So unit 504 is where the leak is coming from. Yeah. >> And it's going into Miss Lewis's uh unit. >> Okay. That's the part I didn't understand. Okay. All right.
>> And you're saying that the um the original owner has passed away and so his estate is handling um the the unit. Now the unit belongs the owner passed
away years ago and the the the owner now is August Augusta Lang G u S T A V O L A N G and he living at Keystone but he went 504.
>> All right. So are you still having um water issues leak? >> Yes. And for the water for stop come but they have to fix upstairs. And he don't want to do he have to fix upstairs for I to fix my unit.
>> Oh Jesus. >> And we have we established that this is coming from his unit. >> This is not an issue that's that's has to do with the building itself. No. No. No. >> Okay.
All right. Inspector George, >> these are substantial damages. >> Yeah. So, current currently her her bathroom still looks like that. And um she did provide videos. I I did put them on the in the system. So, the the leak
is still ongoing. And based off what she told me, the owner, uh, Gustavo, the one that's running the estate, um, basically he doesn't want to fix the issue according to what, um, Miss Lewis
told me this morning that he he is just um, trying to let the association fix it, but the leak is coming from his particular unit. So, you're kind of in limbo right now, Miss Miss Lewis, because you can't fix
your apartment because of this ongoing water uh leakage. >> Well, the um the guest bathroom, that's where they right now need to fix and I cannot fix it unless
504 fixes problem. >> Okay. and and the the the um the homeowners association or condo association, they're not stepping in. No, nobody's helping you handle this. >> Well, they handle um the master bathroom
and also the kitchen. But for me to fix the m the guest bathroom, I cannot do nothing with it until 504 fix his problem. and he he's not doing anything. >> Okay. Well,
>> and for >> sorry, for six years now, I've been going through this problem in the guest bathroom for six years. >> Okay. I am sorry to hear that. Um obviously what we're we can do here is quite limited. Um but at some point you
may have to um take them to civil court. I I um you know that's that's probably going to be your other recourse, but for this purpose here um based on your testimony, I find that the violations
still exist. And so the um the daily fine amount, what was it? Was it 350 or 500? I don't recall. Um Madam Clerk, >> $500. >> All right. So I'm going to ratify it. Is it retroactive? four days.
>> July 19th, 2024. >> Really? And I It hasn't been ratified. >> No, ma'am. >> And this is the first time this has come back to me. >> Yeah, we had issues with um the system before. And that case, we had to table
it, I think, like twice because it would not let us download the photographs and whatnot. So, that's one of the many times that we had to table it. This is the first time after that first meeting that we had. Yes. >> All right. So, um ma'am, I am going to
ratify the um daily fine amount that's $500 and that is retroactive to July of 2024. Meaning that there is a running fine of $500 per day right in your favor. Now, um
again, you may have to take civil action. um legal action against the um the owners upstairs or above you um you know to get anything going at at at this
point there's not much else that we can do. um you can speak to the inspector and and you know see where you go from there. But for this hearing here, I am um all I can do is have this running
fine and um just wish you the best. Okay. >> Okay. >> All right. There's um Mr. George, is there anything else that you you can um the city can assist um
Miss Lewis on this issue? Cuz are you still staying there? You're able to live there. There's no mold >> mold there, but I don't have no place to go. I don't have no way to go. I have an
auto but that's why I say I get some money from the association but I cannot fix the guest bathroom because upstairs he don't want to fix his problem okay cannot fix there he don't want to
fix it and for me to fix the guest bathroom he have to fix his problem and for six years I've been going through this for six is your honor.
I'm a disabled. I have a disability. >> Mr. Coulson, >> building official and madam um city attorney. >> Oh, we're getting a building official. We're getting a building official right now. Hold on.
>> Yeah, I I I need to >> Cindia, roll the pictures back one more time. Madam city attorney, >> I'm here. >> Can you hear me? >> I can hear you. I can't see you though, >> but I can hear you.
>> Hello. Good morning. >> Good morning. Um, is is there anything that the building official can do to assist this woman who have been have dealing um with a um leak coming from the upstairs unit
into her um um unit. >> Yes, >> I'm sorry. that she has been dealing with this for quite some time and there's been um no actions, no movement by the um by the
owners by the HOA and um this poor woman have to live in this property with mold and um she's unable to fix her place until such time that the the people
upstairs take care of the leaks Then is there anything that you guys can do? >> Um, your honor, unfortunately, a situation like this because she's apparently she's in a common area. She's
in the it's the ceiling of her apartment and the floor of the upper apartment. And this is kind of like a a dispute between them. and uh we only involve him with the permitting process to make it sure that they're going to be doing it
complying with the code. So um I don't believe we have anything in our uh position to do for her other than when a permit come to our uh department to help we can expedite by having a fast review
for her help with expediting the inspection. But because it's a legal matter that it need to be resolved by the other party of the apartment above that he need to make um the repair. He need to stop his leak because if she did
anything, it's just going to be filtered back again to her ceiling and that's why she cannot do anything. And at this point, we are not going to be able to do anything. It's a legal matter, ma'am. >> All right.
>> I'm sorry about this, but um we will pay attention when she come to have the help to have us expediting the review and the permitting process for her. when she became ready.
>> Okay, Miss Lewis um building official says and um again my hands are tied. The only thing that I can do I've already done and now the balls in your court. I
mean you you're not um I you have legal recourse. you have other um legal recourse. Like I said, this could this is a civil matter at this
point is what I'm hearing from the city um officials and probably the city attorney if she were to chime in. Um that you need to take that up with the courts and um have them handle it. Okay,
>> that's correct, your honor. We as in city attorney's office cannot advise on this issue that she's having, but she would need to get an attorney and take it to the courts, especially if the homeowners association in that uh
building is not really assisting her. >> All right, Miss Lewis, best of luck to you, ma'am. >> Thank you. >> Best of luck, ma'am. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Bye. >> That sucks. Um, Mr. Padron.
>> Yes. >> You had a visitor. >> Yes. She popped her head in. >> She left. >> Yeah. She's an office next door. If you want, I can call her over. >> Let her know. I'll FaceTime her after this.
>> I will. I'll let her know. >> Okay. All right. Next case. >> 15th Avenue. Okay. >> Uh, P number 41 YM I am trying Miss Kira Peralta and Mr.

The issue date I'm showing here is on 10 22 2025. >> Okay. >> For the um six window shutters. That's the verbiage that the U building department put in the description. >> So based off of that, I see that the

there by himself and he's on oxygen and he can't move around as easily without getting winded because of his COPD. So, I did request for them to give me a call when they were going to go out for the inspection. so that I can make my way there.
>> Okay, Miss Noble, with that one, you would have to call our office. I'll get your number and put in the chat. You'll have to call our office and arrange for your inspection. You have to do it every day. So, if you want the inspection for tomorrow, you would have to call today before 2 p.m.
But you're going to need to be there because if he if your dad can't be there to open the door or anything, you're going to need to be able to give them access. >> Of course. Of course. I have no problem with that. I just needed a heads up because I know I did the inspection the
day of the permit requested it and then from there I hadn't heard anything so I didn't know how to from that. Now I know. >> All right. So let's reset. Let's give it um let's give it 30 days.

before, uh, for this permit, uh, I do not see, um, in the records of any issued, um, after the fact permits for the gate. So maybe Miss Noble can, bless
you, um, she can shed some light on what's going on with that. When it comes to the black metal fence, I ran into some issues with the inspector that I did have. I needed to also make some changes as far as the door based on compliance from what I
read. So now I'm in the process of looking for someone else to come out cuz I would have to adjust the entry door to swing in and not swing out. So therefore, I didn't apply for the permit to have an inspector come out and then of course be failed again.
make sure everything was taken care of together. >> Um, I'm gonna give you 30 days, Miss Noble. >> Yes. >> Um, so those two cases can run together. Get it done. Get it done. Get it done.
