00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:21.439
All right. Good morning, everyone. Just before we get started, I'm going to ask that you make sure that you put your phone on silence or vibrate. Um, if you wish to make a call or answer

2
00:00:21.439 --> 00:00:36.320
a call, I'm asking that you please step outside um as not to disrupt the courtroom. My name is Beatatric Gazo, special magistrate for the city. This is a court enforcement hearing for the city of

4
00:00:52.960 --> 00:01:08.479
The purpose of this hearing is to determine if a code violation exists at your property as observed cited by a code enforcement officer of this of the city. If the city is not able to prove its case and I will dismiss the case and you may leave.

5
00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:24.000
These proceedings are being recorded. Therefore, all persons who are speaking should do so one at a time to ensure that all testimony is clearly audible on the recording device. Do we have interpreters here? Yes, we do.

6
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:40.960
>> Okay. If English is not your primary language, then please inform me when I call your case. We have a translator who will assist you during the proceedings. When your case is called the property owner, agent for the property owner, and

7
00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:57.200
any witness that you may have should come forward to the podium. When asked, please speak directly into the microphone and say aloud your name, your business or mailing address, and your relationship to the property. If you are not the property owner or an

8
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:13.680
attorney representing the property owner, then you must present a notorized power of attorney affidavit in order for your testimony to be taken on behalf of the property owner. For new cases, you will be asked for the record if you are aware of and

9
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:29.680
understand the violation that is being heard today and do you understand what is required to resolve the violation. Please answer accordingly. The city will present his case first and then the property owner and or violator will be given an opportunity to testify

10
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:45.200
on their own behalf to bring forward test um witnesses to testify to present evidence and photographs and to cross-examine the city's witnesses. Following the case presentation, I will issue a finding of fact on the case. If

11
00:02:45.200 --> 00:03:01.920
I find that a violation of city codes exists or existed at your property, then depending on the case type, I will set an abatement date for the violation to be resolved. Or for repeat violations, I will impose a daily fine amount.

12
00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:17.360
For new non-re repeat cases, my order will include an abatement date by which you must resolve the violation and the daily fine amount that I may impose at a future hearing date should the violation not be resolved by the abatement date.

13
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:33.599
If I find sufficient cause to postpone enforcement action at this time, I will table this case proceeding to another hearing date in the future. If you do not agree with my finding of fact or ruling, then the property owner may appeal the administrative order on

14
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:48.239
the case to the circuit court. An appeal must be filed within 30 days of the date of the execution of the administrative order to be appealed in accordance with Florida statutes. If a person decides to repeal any matters

15
00:03:48.239 --> 00:04:08.480
considered um I'm sorry if a person decides to appeal any decision made by the special magistrate with respect to any matter considered at these proceedings then the person will need a verbatim record of the proceeding. This record includes the

16
00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:24.960
testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based. The cost of obtaining the verbatim record shall be the sole responsibility of the appellant and it is recommended that persons who plan to appeal their case should provide their own court

17
00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:42.000
reporter at this proceedings. Pursuant to city codes, if the city of North Miami prevails in prosecuting a case before the special magistrate, the city shall be entitled to recover all costs incurred in prosecuting the case. The current cost assessment amount is

18
00:04:42.000 --> 00:05:03.720
$100 per case. Once the city records an order that imposes a fine and authorizes a lean against the property, then the city will charge additional administrative fees to record and release the lean. Mr. Clerk.

This case was previously found guilty by Magistrate Suarez with an abatement date of June 17th where fines were set at 250 per day plus $100 cost assessment. And the person representing the property is Arle Martin. And the officer on this

30
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:13.839

32
00:09:44.880 --> 00:10:05.120
>> Your relationship to the property. >> I am the owner. Thank you, officer. >> Good morning, everyone. Coco compliance officer Jonathan Lamestry. Um, this case revolves around uh a building permit.

33
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:27.440
The address is 315 Northwest 26th Street. Um, this revolves I'm sorry. This case uh revolves around uh construction work um on the property without a permanent file. On December 6,

34
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:46.240
2025, um I received a complaint uh from the director of co- compliance regarding um construction work being done at the property. Um this is in regard to them uh doing their driveway without a permit and also

35
00:10:46.240 --> 00:11:02.839
paving the swale area without a permit on file. As you can see from the photos, notice of violation was issued, notice to appear was issued, affidavit of posting, property appraiser.

36
00:11:03.040 --> 00:11:19.440
This is the hand delivery of the notice to appear. And as you can see from this photo, um they repaved the entire swale area, um without a permit. They converted the swale into a basically a driveway of

37
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:39.519
their property. >> Uh the property owner did apply for a permit, but the building department did fail them um for because they're unable to get the permit for the swale area. Uh

38
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:58.320
that's all. >> All right, Mr. Martin. Can I translate? >> Oh, >> can I translate? >> Yes, absolutely. Um, next time you can ask the officer remind them >> because we tend to forget. We just keep

39
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:39.200
going. No problem. Just remind him to stop to give you an opportunity to um to translate. No problem. closer to the mic. >> Yeah. Okay. So yes, I did complete the work without a permit. However,

40
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:54.959
>> speak to the mic, please. >> Yes, I did complete the work without a permit. However, I did apply for a permit after the fact and went through the legal process of obtaining the permit >> and the officer just testified that it was denied.

41
00:12:54.959 --> 00:13:33.920
So enforcement. >> Yes, they did deny it. However, again, I did go ahead and follow through uh with everything that was required or asked of me uh for the permit. >> I think he's still a little confused.

42
00:13:33.920 --> 00:13:49.680
Officer, at this point, is there anything pending or was it was his after the-act permit application denied? >> As you can see on the screen, I zoomed in so everybody could see. Um, you'll be able to see that it was denied

43
00:13:49.680 --> 00:14:08.800
uh by zoning engineering >> as of when? >> May 28th for zoning. May 5th uh I'm sorry, June 5th. Uh it was denied by engineering. May 28th from zoning and it did get

44
00:14:08.800 --> 00:14:24.320
approved by building on June 9th. However, each department has to approve the check off >> approved for the permit. >> Well, that's a surprise. >> Yes, that's on the screen right now. >> Okay. All right.

45
00:14:24.320 --> 00:15:00.399
So as of right now, >> yeah, okay. Yes, I do understand. But they did give me a survey that um I needed to um follow through with, which I do have the survey here um and the letter that

46
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:17.760
indicates that I did follow through um with um the enforcement >> against special magistrate. Um they were found guilty by magistrate Suarez and they had to abate by June 17th. um they have not received their

47
00:15:17.760 --> 00:15:33.519
permit after the fact permit for the for the driveway. >> I'm going to assume, and that's just an assumption on my part, having been doing this for many years, I don't think you're going to get a permit for that.

48
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:50.000
Unfortunately, it seems like you probably spent a lot of money paying someone to pave the swale area and you didn't pull the proper permit at the time. And if you did, um, you'd

49
00:15:50.000 --> 00:16:06.320
probably learn by then that you you didn't have permission or authority to do so. Um, what are the chances of I don't want to guess. Is there anyone here from >> building? Yes, I do have >> um because I think he's still a little

50
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:25.839
confused probably because he was denied by um you know some of the departments and then he was approved by building so he's probably confused >> as to what to do next. So,

51
00:16:25.839 --> 00:16:42.079
>> please state your name and and um >> Shaunie Pressie from the building department, building officer. >> So, in order to comply, you have too much um paved in. So, you're going to have to to comply, >> you have to follow their rules. They

52
00:16:42.079 --> 00:17:38.720
tell you so much percentage could be paved. You're going to have to probably remove some of it. >> Can I translate for him? >> Okay. You speak to the mic, please. Court enforcement. It is an extension to where um the work

53
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:55.039
was done. I'm not sure if they're going to be able to undo uh the work that's already been completed. >> Well, that's the problem, sir. The way that the the work is in violation of city codes, and so we're not going to resolve it here today. you're going to

54
00:17:55.039 --> 00:18:11.440
have to go to >> the building department, >> the building department and um meet with them and see what needs to be done. I don't know if you had a general contractor, whomever, you know, that you paid to get to do the job if you want to bring them

55
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:29.760
along, but you need to understand what needs to happen, what needs what you need to do to um be in compliance. right now you're you're in violation >> and um the magistrate had given you until June

56
00:18:29.760 --> 00:18:45.919

by within the 60 days, >> there will be a daily final. You're going to have to wait. Let me finish with my ruling. >> Adjudication. 60 days and $500 per day. >> That's after 60 days, man.

98
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:40.880
>> That is correct. >> Okay. One more question. >> Go ahead, sir. So, oh man, it's just there. The let's say we go to number three on the list where we drain the pool. Now, we're ready for a fence permit. >> Does that take longer than the 60 days to get? Cuz we can't just go slap up a

106
00:33:53.919 --> 00:34:11.040
um, looked in the computer, saw that there was no permits obtained for what I visibly saw as um, kitchen cabinets that were being um, done. I opened the violations, spoke with the two gentlemen. They called, I believe it was

107
00:34:11.040 --> 00:34:28.720
this um young lady on the phone. We talked via telephone. Um she said she didn't know that she needed a permit for um changing out of the cabinets. I gave her I think about a week or two to comply or submit the application. She

108
00:34:28.720 --> 00:34:45.119
did submit the application to the city for the work that's being done. However, um the permit application has stayed at a standstill and has not been issued. I have not had any contact with the property owners um since I visited the

109
00:34:45.119 --> 00:35:00.640
property. Um so I'll let her explain what's going on and what's the hold up as to why um the permit still has not been obtained. And again, I want to put on record she has submitted the application. However,

110
00:35:00.640 --> 00:35:16.640
um it has not been obtained as of yet. >> All right, Mr. Mayor or Miss Munoz, >> I'd like to explain that my father is disabled. He It all happened in 2019. He suffered an aneurysm and a friend of his

111
00:35:16.640 --> 00:35:31.760

01:07:06.480 --> 01:07:23.760
case in uh March 19th of 2025. Um as my colleague just said, they went to court last month and nothing has been done. Basically, the the violation was for the gutters and the exterior of the

216
01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:39.520
home to pressure wash and repaint the the front door of the house. Um, as you can see here, the the only thing that they've they've done was remove that gutter that's hanging, >> but everything else looks the same. So, I don't know if the gutter actually just

217
01:07:39.520 --> 01:07:55.760
fell off or they actually tried to remove it. And um he contacted me the day before magistry last month to say, "Oh, is there anything that he could be he can do?" And I told him, "Well, at this time,

218
01:07:55.760 --> 01:08:10.640
unless you already pressure wash the roof and painted the door, there's nothing that can be done." >> And I haven't heard from him since. And so, and nothing's been done. He has um got uh order to comply. NTA was posted,

219
01:08:10.640 --> 01:08:25.600
and he just hasn't done anything. And this has been since 2025 of March. All you would have to do is just pressure wash the roof and repaint the door. >> All right. Stayed on the record when the property was posted.

220
01:08:25.600 --> 01:08:42.880
>> The first original posting was 319 of 2025. >> You said June 19th. >> Oh, March 19th of 2025. >> No, no, no, no. Notice for today's hearing. >> Oh, for today's hearing. Yeah. I posted it um for um the order to comply and the

221
01:08:42.880 --> 01:09:00.640
NTA was posted June 3rd. NTA was mailed and posted and on June 18th I posted the order to comply and nothing has been done ever since. >> Okay. All right. Based on the unreedited testimony of the code enforcement officer, I find the violation still

222
01:09:00.640 --> 01:09:17.440
exist. Also find good notice. Given proper notice, owners have failed to appear. The daily fine amount of $250 is hereby ratified. >> Thank you, your honor. >> Thank you, sir. >> All right. The next item we'll be calling is item number six, Christine

223
01:09:17.440 --> 01:09:44.480
Fern Allison. Case number CER CV 202500170. And the officer in this case is Jonathan Lestri. Good morning everyone. Co- compliance officer Jonathan Lamester. Uh this case

224
01:09:44.480 --> 01:10:01.280
is in regard to an RV being stored on the side of the property at 1541 Northeast 131st Road. So on October 29th, 2025, uh the co-compliance department received a police case number

225
01:10:01.280 --> 01:10:18.480
uh a police report uh case number 2025-64830. And this is in regard to an RV that was stored on the side of the property that caught on fire. Um the RV is no longer at the property.

226
01:10:18.480 --> 01:10:35.600
However, um the RV was stored there without a variance on file, meaning the RV was not permitted to be stored there, as well as a resident was residing inside that RV as well. Uh the RV caught on fire and it caused damage

227
01:10:35.600 --> 01:10:52.719
to the side of the house of the property. Um and the reason why I'm bringing this case up to court now, and again, RV has been removed from the property. However, um since the property did not have permission to have the RV stored on the property, since the RV caught on fire

228
01:10:52.719 --> 01:11:07.440
and could have caused damage, not only burned down the house, but also caused damage to the neighboring properties, um the city's requesting a onetime fine um for the RV uh for the property owner for not having the RV uh not having a

229
01:11:07.440 --> 01:11:25.560
variance for the RV. Um, as you can see, uh, notice of violation was posted, affidavit of posting, and as you can see on screen, this was the RV caught on fire on the side of the house.

230
01:11:32.480 --> 01:11:53.920
Proper notice was given. This photo was back in September. 2025 via Google Maps showing that the RV was stored there at the time. And again, this is uh the aftermath of

231
01:11:53.920 --> 01:12:19.760
the RV catching fire. I did hand deliver the notice of violation as well to uh the tenant at the at the property. >> And this is the police report from the North Miami Police Department. >> Date. You always have to put date on the record when notice was served

232
01:12:19.760 --> 01:12:38.239
or when notice was provided. >> Um the notice to appear uh for the magistrate was posted on June 3rd, 2026. and the administrative staff uh mailed out the notice of violation to the property owner via property appraiser. >> Okay. Thank you.

233
01:12:38.239 --> 01:12:59.679
>> This incident where the um where the house caught on fire was on October uh when the RV caught on fire was on October 21st, 2025. >> Okay. >> All right. Okay. So, the city is asking for an adjudication and a onetime fine.

234
01:12:59.679 --> 01:13:16.320
>> Correct. >> All right. >> Yes, your honor. This this happens to be like a very serious issue here in the city with ERVs that are not permitted and that causes obviously a threat by having residents live in them. >> Yeah. It could end up very very badly.

235
01:13:16.320 --> 01:13:51.440
>> Yes. Um, what is the suggested amount from the city? Special magistrate, our code doesn't provide for a set amount. So, it would be at your discretion, but the city doesn't want to you to take into account that this is an a serious situation that

236
01:13:51.440 --> 01:14:07.840
we're trying to stop within the city. >> All right. Based on the unrebuted testimony of the code enforcement officer and the evidence presented, I find that the violation does exist. I also find good notice given proper notice. owner has

237
01:14:07.840 --> 01:14:24.159
failed to repair. Um, based on the testimony, I do find that this was a um situation that could have um ended very badly, meaning that that could have

238
01:14:24.159 --> 01:14:43.040
could have caused um fatalities. um individuals were um living in the RV based on the testimony of the code enforcement officer. So

239
01:14:43.040 --> 01:14:59.600
um the people living there both in the house and the RV could have gotten badly hurt if not killed. And um so I do find that there was a health and

240
01:14:59.600 --> 01:15:32.320
safety hazard. Based on that, I will enter an adjudication and issue on one time um a onetime fee of $1,500. >> Thank you. All right, magistrate. We'll be moving

241
01:15:32.320 --> 01:15:51.440

243
01:16:07.040 --> 01:16:21.440

244
01:16:21.440 --> 01:16:42.040

01:17:07.360 --> 01:17:23.120
notice to appear before the magistrate and again the administrative staff did mail the notice of violation to u notice to appear to the property owner via property appraiser. However, um it should be noted that um the property owner did speak to our administrative

247
01:17:23.120 --> 01:17:38.640
staff informing them that our staff uh that his tenant will no longer be parking his tow truck at the property. However, the city is requesting adjudication showing that the tow truck was at the property. it was being stored at the property and that if it does show

248
01:17:38.640 --> 01:17:54.239
up again um we could take them as a repeat offender. So all the city's requesting for is an adjudication. >> All right. Based on the unrebuted testimony of the code enforcement officer, I find a violation does did
