we had uh outstanding were 856A, the fire alarms on uh some a few of the buildings and 8 uh 56 fire suppression systems. As of Friday was speaking with
the contractor, I believe there was uh seven buildings that still they're doing u the fire sprinkler work. One of them they're waiting for a part of a valve. I've talked to them again today and they're uh working to still get that done. They're on site today and uh and
the same as with the fire alarms as of Friday. I did not talk to the fire alarm technician today, but I know that they were still on site uh uh through my phone conversation with the with the other uh contractor. So, there is a
representative for the property here, but as of 2 o'clock this afternoon, the property still had two violations that are not uh in compliance. Um there's been uh a lot of progress made. It's down to just a a handful of buildings
now out of the original 78. >> So, has there been um progress since the last meeting? >> Quite a bit. Yes. >> Okay, great. >> Yes, sir. >> It was 856A and what was the other one? >> 85. >> 856. >> 856. Any other questions for the code officer?
>> Yes, sir. >> So, uh are they trying to get an extension and do you think it's going to be 30 days or >> so? Did there is representative here from the property? I'll let him talk to you about that. U I I spoke to him on
Friday and he just showed up right before the meeting. So, I haven't spoke to him today, but but uh Rob's here. Sevilla, if you want to call him up and he could probably tell you what what what they're needing to do. Okay. >> Great. Thank you. Any other questions? >> Thank you. >> Yes, sir.
>> You want to come up? >> Hello. Name and address, please. >> Name's uh Rob Sylvia. Um here uh owners rep for 6900 Aruba Avenues property. Um, so yeah, we are pretty much all wrapped
up. So, we did have a couple of uh outstanding uh sprinkler head replacements that needed to be done in a couple of units. We had access issues due to resident situations. Um, we did get those completed this past Monday. So, those were completed. So, the entire
sprinkler uh head replacement project is has been done. Um, the last thing on the fire suppression system was a manifold needed for uh, uh, building 77's flow switch, which they had a delay in getting the part over. They received
that yesterday. They were actually on site today getting that replaced. So, that should be replaced. I just I need confirmation from Py Barker that it got done today. Um, but they were on site working on it. So, that's the last piece that we have for the fire suppression
piece. Um, as far as the uh alarm piece, we had uh buildings 8, 9, and 10 remaining that needed transformer switches installed, which those got done uh at the beginning of this week. We had building 33 with a wiring issue. They found the where the wire issue was and
got that resolved. Um that was on Monday. And uh that did wrap up the rest of our alarm issues. Um >> you should be 100% done. It's really just building 77 confirming that that manifold did in fact get installed today.
>> So tomorrow you could be done >> 100%. Yeah. >> Okay. >> Any other questions? >> So are sorry are so you're asking for a 30-day extension? Is that or >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just to get this last item finalized and
we'll let Cletus know hopefully by tomorrow latest at the end of the week that it's been completed. So Right. Okay. Any other questions? Okay. Well, it's your pleasure. >> I'll make a motion. Uh, in case number 25-50072, I move that we give an additional 30
days until what was it? March >> 11th >> 11th of 26. Uh, to wrap this up, >> we have a motion. Do we have a second? >> Second. >> Motion and a second. Any further discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor? I >> opposed. No nays. Motion carries. >> Good luck. Thank you.

don't want to drive to Spring Hill where we normally park and conduct our business. So, usually we just come and park late night and we get up in the morning, get rid of the trailer, and we move >> or the truck. >> Or the truck and we're all good. >> Yeah. Yeah. You go check it out right
now. >> Okay. You guys have any confirmation of that? >> Um, just clarification that the the one for tonight is is about the the truck in the yard. >> Yes. >> Next the next one next month will be
about the trailer and stuff like that. So, uh, we just got to make sure that we're um talking about the same thing. Um, now I will say that until, you know, even just the past few days, I have seen it in in the the yard. Um, so what you're saying is, correct me if I'm
wrong, that moving forward, we're not going to have that in the yard. >> The ranger, >> the ranger, >> the ranger might get parked in the yard again. Yes. We're going to pull a permit and probably end up putting a driveway there, but it's not there now. So, >> I mean, if if it's one night that it's a
late night, >> explain something to you. If >> let's even if you It's true what you said, right? >> Yes, sir. because there is this the initial violation. >> If that truck is found to be in violation again, it becomes a repeat
violation and the fines for repeat violations are a lot higher than the initial violation. >> Correct. >> So, I'm just warning you that you say it's going to be there again. >> It may or may not. We don't try to bring >> You want me to park it at?
>> I'll park it >> in the street, I guess. Not the yard. >> So in the street >> cuz our neighbors >> last time we got code violations for parking in the street too. >> So I don't I don't know where to park it
at. >> I'm like >> what >> you want me to? >> So >> I figured I figured since I mow the lawn >> and I pay the taxes I can park it in my front yard. >> What? >> I guess I'm wrong. >> No, you're wrong. >> Oh, okay. Remember the previous violations in in were really for the
commercial vehicles in in the yard in the >> Yeah, but you told me we're here for the Ranger now. >> Correct. >> That's not a commercial vehicle. >> Correct. That's the next one. >> Correct. >> The this one is specifically for parking in the yard. Anything in the yard. >> Um the Ranger street park street parking
is authorized. >> The violation you got originally, the one that you were referring to was for commercial vehicles in the >> the trailer. >> Mhm. In the in the road. You can park the the Ranger in the in the street. You just have to make sure that it's moved
every 24 hours. It can't it can't sit there more than 24 hours. But that's perfectly fine. Just can't be in the yard. >> All right. >> Just so you're aware. >> Yes, sir. I'm aware. >> Next next one becomes for the if it's for the same ranger that's parked in the yard, it becomes a repeat violation. If
>> it's a different color ranger, >> well, I'm just joking. >> I understand. But to answer your question, it wouldn't matter if you park a Volkswagen in the front yard. >> It becomes >> um >> the same >> it becomes a repeat violation. >> Correct. >> Okay. It's the violation. It's not the
vehicle. It's the violation. Okay. So, and you can park the ranger on the street. >> Yeah. >> As long as it's not a commercial vehicle. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. >> So, glad to hear that. So, you don't need an extension. Um, well, assuming you're right, they'll they'll write you up as a as as coming into compliance and
that piece will go away. >> And we're going to talk about your next case in a minute. So, >> all right. >> All right. Um, so we don't need to do anything with that, right, Ernie? >> Um, so what you're not going to extend it? Um, I mean, wouldn't the
>> microphone >> um is are you guys going to want to go out there tomorrow and verify that it's gone? How are you going to handle that, I guess, is the question. >> So, we we'll continue to monitor on a on a daily basis. You know, this it's part of the routine.
>> Well, the deadline is tonight. >> The deadline is tonight. So, >> usually when it parks there, one of the neighbors calls and lets them know and they pull up and they take the picture. So, that's how that works. >> Well, we're through the neighborhood every day. >> Yeah. >> Um, so what
what I think we should do >> is >> 30 days. >> Extend for 30 days. and that literally nothing would would happen unless it's there again in which time we would come back. >> So you're giving going forward >> 30 days. Are you giving me >> Oh, you haven't given me anything yet.
He's suggesting he's suggesting 30 days. >> Okay. I just didn't want to be confused. >> Just hang on. We'll get there. >> And what what that would allow us to do because like I said, we saw it there just a couple days ago. um that would give up >> that would give you the opportunity to
show us and the board that you aren't going to be doing that anymore. Uh uh you're going to be in compliance and then we can move forward after that. >> Okay. >> So, >> so I think you heard the suggestion so we need a motion. >> Yeah. Um, I would like to make a motion,
but after I ask Jack, just the brief summary, J, uh, Jack, um, just to refresh my memory, it's a private vehicle that's parked over the grass, >> correct? >> In the front yard. >> That's it. >> So, that's the violation. >> That's it.
>> And my question would have been, which is they answered, uh, I hope it's the correct answer. They answered. It's already removed. they can park it in the street or on the driveway and that's will remove the violation
>> that that would fix everything. >> As of this moment, nobody from our staff went and ex examined the site. >> That's why we're getting the 30 days so they can have >> Okay. >> After we'll have time to verify what they >> All right, >> we need a motion. Yeah, I'll I'll make
I'll make a motion in case u number uh 25-4599 uh to extend the uh deadline uh till March 11, 2026. >> We have a motion. Do we have a second? >> Second. >> Motion a second. Any further discussion?
Seeing none, all those in favor? >> I opposed. No nays. Motion passes. So, you have been given a 30-day extension. That's not permission to park on the grass for 30 days. >> Okay. It's just thanks for clarifying. It's really just so they can go out there tomorrow and verify what you just
told us is true. >> Okay. So, it's since it is a Ranger, it's not a commercial vehicle, >> you are able to park it either in the driveway or on the street, just not on the grass. >> Okay. >> Okay. And if you if you anticipate
extending your driveway or widening your driveway, get with code enforcement first so you know what materials you can use to widen the driveway. >> Of course. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> But don't go away. Oh, there's more. >> There's more. Okay, so uh that case is done and we're going to be moving on to
0182. >> Correct. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> So, case number under new business. >> Okay. So that's actually >> case number 260182 city versus Christy and Reeves for the property located at
11309 Lyn Bates Place. This case was scheduled to appear before the board based on alleged violation of section 12-859 subsection 3 RVs, boats, and trailers non-commercial. However, this case will be removed from the agenda as the
respondent was not properly served with the notice of a repeat violation. >> All right. So, that just means that this particular case has been removed uh because of a notice issue. It doesn't
mean again doesn't give you permission to do what you were doing. Just means the case was it been rescheduled or just removed? >> Um it's going I think it's going to probably be back on next month March. But not >> your your mic.
>> It'll probably be scheduled for next month. That's the plan. We still have to provide notice. Correct. >> So, you will be getting notice. You'll have to be You'll have to come back next month. Yes, sir. >> And we'll have the same discussion. >> Perfect. >> All right. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Good luck. Have a good night.
>> All right. On to the next case, please. >> Should be 2911. >> That's right. Yes. >> Under unfinished business, case number 252911, city versus Eddie Antonio Fabbero
Escobar for the property located at 6125 Liberty Avenue. The deadline for compliance is m is uh February 11th, 2026. the fine of $25 per day beginning February 12, 2026 for the violation section 8-28
subsection A subsection 1 permit app required. Deadline for compliance is midnight tonight. >> Good afternoon everyone. Hi, Karina Fuller here on behalf of the property owner. Um we have two cases before the board here today which is the one that
was just announced and then the second one which is 2540448 in regards to permits. Uh the last time that we were here we respectfully requested extension which we were thankful for for the electrician. Um it's my understanding here based off the representation by the property owner
who's my client who's here to my left. Um the electrician has already authorized and signed an affidavit um that was approved by this office um and that's been done. However, now we just need another extension because the
original plumber that we had needs to reinspect the property and he'll be there this Friday so then he could complete the permit application. Just want by way of brief history, this is a case where my client bought the property with work previously done and then he
did further work without a permit. So there's work without a permit from two owners, let's just say from years ago. Um so we're just asking for another 30-day extension. Um I'm very hopeful and my client has indicated to me that
he'll have everything done by the next extension. The only issue with Temple Terrace that's different from other counties and I'm not saying anything is that we have to turn in all the permits at the same time. So like the plumbing all so at this point like it's been very difficult for all the permits and the
contractors to align at once to submit all at once. And so that that's the hold up. But if we could like simultaneously turn in like all like the we have five permits to turn in. If we could turn in one at a time there wouldn't be an issue. But because they all have to be turned in at the same time, that's
what's causing a problem. >> Okay. So, if I understand you, you now have, let's say, four of the five permits, >> right? >> Okay. You just got the electrical, right? >> We were missing the electrical last time. Now, there's an issue with the plumbing. He needs to come back out
Friday. >> Yes. That's what I'm saying. So, of the five permits, you just got the electrical. So, now you have four out of the five, >> correct? >> Plumbers coming out Friday. That will give you the fifth one, >> right? >> Well, if you once you submit it. >> Correct. >> Okay. And you'll be able to submit the
other four with the plumbing. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> That's what my friend is telling me. >> Any other questions? >> Seeing none, I'll entertain a motion. >> I I guess I did have a question. Go >> ahead for Director Shane.
>> Go ahead. So, is is what they're saying true that they have to submit all five permits at the same time? I'm just a little confused on >> I'm going to defer that to Dallas. >> Okay. >> I don't remember this coming up in the
in the >> They have to submit everything at one time. >> Yes, it came up. >> Okay. So, you got your building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing. They all come in at the same time. Otherwise, sometimes you get issued the permits to do work. The plumber never turns it in. He's done work without a permit. That's
why we require bring them all in at the same time. >> So, it helps you guys with your inspection figure out tracking who's doing what. >> Okay. Right. Right. >> I just I just haven't, like I say, from my best of my recollection, I haven't heard of this before as far as this this
particular problem. Anyway, >> that's because it typically gets done all at the same time. >> Yeah. Well, okay. All right. My ignorance. So, thanks for the explanation. >> Any other questions? >> If there's no other questions, I'll entertain a motion. >> I'll do it. >> Go ahead.
>> In case number 25- 2911, I move that we uh grant an extension till March 11, 2026. >> We have a motion. Do we have a second? >> A second. >> Motion a second. Any further discussion?
Seeing none, all those in favor? I >> opposed. No nays. Motion carries. So, you've been given an extension till fe March 11th and hopefully that should be the end of it, right? >> I hope not to be here anymore after March 11th. Trust me. >> Well, if you if if if something happens,
you know what you need to do. >> I do. >> Okay. On to you might as well stand stay there. Uh, next case is 25448. >> Uh, yes. City versus Eddie Fero Mastree for the property located at 6125 Liberty Avenue. The deadline for compliance is
February 11th, 2026 and the fine of $50 per day beginning February 12, 2026. Violation section 8-28 subsection A subsection 1 permit app required. Deadline for compliance is midnight tonight.
>> Same argument or same >> they all to be together. >> Yes. >> Okay. So just if you know somebody informed me we've got two cases. Was it just was it two separate permits? >> It was a driveway permit and then the other one was the five like the So one
was a driveway permit where a driveway permit and then the other five. So it was like building electrical HVAC general contractor. >> You now have the driveway permit as well. >> We have that too. So but we can't submit the driveway permit without the other five. >> Very good. Thank you.
>> Any other questions? Seeing none, I'll entertain a motion. >> Since I did the other one, >> that's fine. It's >> easier on our >> In case number 25-448, I move that we grant 30 days extension
till March 11, 2026. >> We have a motion. Do we have a second? >> Second. >> Motion a second. Any further discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor? I >> opposed. No nays. Motion carries. >> Good luck. See you all March 11th and hopefully we all have good news.
>> Very good. >> Thank you. >> Next case, please. >> Under new business, case number 253730, City versus Armento Family LLC for the property located at 8421 North 56th
Street. This case is before the board based on an alleged violation of section 14-59, local business tax required. This case will be prosecuted this evening by code officer Doug Allen. The city has evidence that the notice of violation and the notice of hearing were properly
served. >> Good good evening, Mr. Chairman and board members. Doug Allen, code compliance officer. This case was originated by officer Bats on September 22nd, 2025, responding to an email from the finance department regarding a business tax
license not being transferred into the new business owner's name. A notice of violation was generated on that date with a reinspection date of October 6, 2025. She achieved service with hand delivery to the previous owner at the store. A copy was also posted at city
hall for the 10-day requirement and copies were mailed both regular and certified mail to the owner of record. In October, I made personal contact with a store employee and left information on how to apply for the new business tax license. After no action was taken to acquire the license, I contacted the
store new store owner by phone on December 22nd and provided information on who to contact to be in compliance. My reinspection on January 26, 2026 showed no change. So, I prepared a notice of hearing on that date and scheduled the case for the February
Municipal Code Board meeting. I would like to submit evidence taken by me or given by me. Exhibit number one shows the affidavit of service for the notice of violation and exhibit number two shows the affidavit of service for the notice of hearing. Uh the business owner
has submitted their application this past week online uh but it did not have all the required information to complete the process. So the site is not in compliance and I'm seeking a ruling. >> Very good. We'll accept those. Thank you. Any questions for the code officer?
Um, have you talked to the business owner since they submitted the application to see >> they just submitted this week? No, I haven't talked to him. >> Okay. >> Talked to uh people in finance who handle the business tax license and got an email from them stating that he had
submitted. >> Do you know what was missing? >> There's a variety of things that need to be on there. So, I'm not sure what all those were missing. >> Any other questions? Is the respondent here? >> Uh, I do believe so. >> Yeah. >> One up.
>> Have you both been sworn in? >> Excuse me. >> Have you both been sworn in? >> Yes, I did. >> Yes, I did. >> Thank you. >> I'm representing the landlords and he is the owner for the place. >> Okay. >> Owner of the business. >> So, you're the tenant. He's the owner. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. >> No, he's the owner. I'm the tenant.
>> Yeah. >> Gotcha. That's understood. >> Okay. Whoever wants to start, go ahead. >> Yeah, please. >> Uh, well, he just uh applied for the license. He got an email back saying that they got the papers and supposedly he's waiting on another email to inform
him where to pay the license and get it in. >> Okay. So, all the issues that for the first application have been corrected. >> Uh, I believe so. I'm not really aware of that. uh >> on the time. >> Sorry,
>> he can go ahead because I'm not really Go ahead. >> Yeah. So, I don't know actually anything about that because they was getting the uh the mail. I took it over on November 1st, the business. So, I don't know anything before that and the previous
owner told me they have the license till September 2026, business tax. He already paid that. So I took it over November uh 1st 2025
and that's why because the previous owner told me he already paid till uh September 26th that's why actually I didn't apply and I haven't get any notice any letter but someone called me
uh so from the store when they was visiting the store that's why I I hear And after that when the my landlord told me they they have a hearing then I'm taking the initiative to having the application.
>> Okay. Any other questions? >> Yes. >> Go ahead. >> Um first uh did you the process now is done online? >> Yes sir. >> And you pay online. You don't go and pay. They won't accept any payment I believe except online.
>> Yes sir. Uh but you bought a new uh it's a new business. What type of business? >> It's a it's a gas station. Sh gas station. >> Yes. >> And you bought it before and he has it he has a tax receipt. >> Tax receipt. Yeah. Which I have
>> the owner and all that information changes. So probably you need to just up update it and talk to somebody in that department. That's my >> opinion on that. But uh uh you did not receive any >> I didn't receive any letter or anything.
>> They won't receive it's an email. They send you an email. >> No, I received the email when I applied for the like last couple days ago when I applied application then I received I'm I need some information like I need to have the food food permit. So which I'm
proceeding for that and I need to apply uh update to the Hillsboro County to change the ownership. >> Okay. And you've done all that? >> No, I I I but to done this I need to have the food permit. I have just uh tobacco and
alcohol license. I have the business uh resale certificate. Now I need to have the food permit which I'm in process. >> Okay. >> Thank you. Actually, I'm I'm very sorry actually to for the situation. So, >> any other question? >> This is minor things.
>> There's no other questions or entertain a motion. >> All right. This one to the right. All right. In case number 253730, I move that the city has proven by a greater weight of the evidence the following violation of the city of
Temple Terrace city code exists on the property located at 8421 North 56 Street. Uh the code section is uh 14-59. This motion is based on the sworn testimony this board has received from
code enforcement officer Doug Allen along with any other evidence including photos, affidavit, and the notice of violation, all of which is received and entered as part of the record of this hearing. I further move that said violations be corrected on or before uh March 11th uh 2026. If the respondent
does not comply with this order on or before that day, they order to pay a fine for each and every day that the violation continues past the date set for compliance. Upon considering the following factors, the gravity of the violation, any actions taken by the violator to correct the violation, and any previous violations committed by the
violator, I move that the fine be $25 per day. >> We have a motion. Do we have a second? >> Second. >> Motion and a second. >> Any further discussion? >> Seeing none, all those in favor? >> Opposed? No. Motion carries. So, you have until March 11th to get it all
sorted out. If for some strange reason it's still not finalized done, you can come back here and ask for an extension. There's no guarantee you will get one, but you have every right to ask. Okay, >> sir. I think I need more uh more than 30 days because to having a food foot
permit is take time because they have to inspect the location when I apply for that. >> Okay. >> Because I called them to >> get back here next month then. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Sure, sir. Thank you. >> All right. Thank you. You can find a status update then too and that comes in handy >> to come in here

Appreciate. >> Okay, gentlemen, the next case is going to be case number 254819. Did you want to do the swearing in now or you want to wait till the next case?
>> We can wait. >> We're wait. Okay. Okay. Next case be 4819. Under new business case number 254819 city versus an Ollandbeck Cardessive and Dunia Cardessive for the property
located at 5106 East 122nd Avenue. The case is before the board on based on an alleged violation of section 8-28 subsection A subsection 1 permit app required in section 10-4 subsection B
subsection 4 nuisance buildings section 10-4 sanitation premises clean section 12-860 inoperative outdoor storage equipment and section 12-861 subsection E subsection 8 fences and
walls maintenance. This case will be prosecuted this evening by code officer Lorie Smith. The the city has evidence that the notice of violation and notice of hearing were properly served. >> Good evening, Mr. Chairman, board members. Lorie Smith code compliance. This case this evening was initiated by
officer BAT on December the 30th, 2025 for multiple violations on property prompting a notice of violation to be issued. The code sections are 8-28 subsection A subsection 1 for the construction of a structure or building without first obtain the required
permits. 10-4 subsection B subsection 4 for keeping of a partially construction structure or building exceeding the allowable 90 days without occupancy and creating an appearance which distracts from the appearance of the immediate neighborhood. 10-34 for the accumulation
of ladder, discarded tires, and other miscellaneous trash and debris throughout the property. 12-860 for the outdoor storage of construction materials and supplies, which is prohibited in a residentially zoned property. 12-861
subsection E subsection 8 for the failure to maintain a neat offense with a neat and clean appearance with missing or broken pickets and leaning section. The notice of violation was posted to subject property, requested posting to city hall on the electronic board, and
sent both certified mail and regular mail to the address of record on December the 31st, 2025 with a compliance date of January the 20th, 2026. A reinspection was done on January the 20th, 26, where the property was still
in violation, prompting the request for hearing scheduled for tonight, February the 11th, 2026. The notice of hearing was created and posted on January the 29th, 2026 to subject property requested posting to city hall on the electronic board for
the 10-day requirement and sent both certified mail and regular mail to the address of record. As of my last inspection on February the 9th, 2026, section 8-28 subsection A subsection 1 permits app required. It's now in
compliance. At this time, I'd like to submit an affidavit compliance without violation. However, 10-4 subsection B subsection 4 keeping a partially constructed structure or building exceeding the allowable 90 days. Section 10-34 for the accumulation of trash and
other debris throughout the property. section 12-860 for the outdoor storage of construction materials and section-12-861 subsection E subsection 8 failure to maintain a fence with a neat and clean appearance remains out of compliance at
this time I would like to submit photographic evidence for case number 254819 supporting the case and ask for a ruling good thank you any questions for the code officer ahead
So we have four one out of the five. It's five. I think >> 8-28 subsection A subsection one is in compliance. All the others are still out of >> They're still out of compliance. That >> is correct. >> So four four violations,
>> right? >> Any other questions? >> Is the respondent here? >> Yes, she is. >> Would you like to approach Oh, you didn't. I sent it to you. >> I didn't get >> Oh, that's fine. Did you still have the same number? That's weird. Well, I had
them print out. >> Okay. >> Yeah. I mean, I I did print it out. Uh remember we talk about uh I mean I put the I you know uh anyway work on what's going on behind but >> um and then I clear all this stuff
around here. >> Okay. >> And then all this stuff around here. >> Just let them know when you get up there. >> Mhm. >> Um sorry. >> I'm sorry. >> Um I realized she was one that wasn't sworn in as well. >> Okay. Okay. Raise your right hand.
>> Oh, I'm sorry. Should we just raise her? >> Huh? >> Anyone else? >> Oh, yes. There is one other person. Um, Shazed >> Shazad, do you mind standing up and raising your right hand? >> Go ahead. >> Do you swear or affirm that the
testimony you will provide the board tonight will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? >> Yes, that's right. >> Thank you. >> Name and address, please. >> Uh, General Ramirez Kadarsa, 5106 East 122nd Avenue, Temple, Florida. Okay. Um,
so honest with you, I just found out cuz I I I saw Lori today. Um, I guess I didn't went through the whole um notice of violation and I felt I was only getting violated by the because of
the expired permits. So I didn't even notice until today or I didn't even find out until today that she told me that it was also because of the debris. other otherwise I would have cleaned it out a long time ago because that's something I
can do. So I today I did it. Um I have the pictures uh that I already uh clear uh remove the ladders, remove uh everything that is supposed to be on the front yard. Um, regarding some
construction materials, um, there is a send in there. Uh but uh over here it says that if there is an optive permit I'm allowed to have construction materials outside because I mean it's an active um you know it's acting um
construction site and uh I do have you know on a little pile some uh leftovers of construction materials that I don't know if the the people going to use it or not so I I left it alone but any other thing that I'm supposed to be
there like the ladder that it was in the front yard. Uh the tires and then some other things I put it away which I have pictures of that. And then regarding the fence um so uh I have to switch contractors
once again. So of course uh I don't have any uh any other uh um like moving forward with the you know with the construction because I was waiting for the permit. So that was the thing about
the you know like no you know no acting thing. So we already got the the permit I already got uh that taken care of. So today uh I I scheduled the rebar permit the rebar inspection but because uh my contractor say that there is still some
other rebars that they have to be uh put in that's why I reschedu for next week a day 18 you know but uh you know regarding the known structure it's it's going uh and then regarding the the
fence um I have here uh oh and then I do have proof that I the permits. But anyway, she said it and uh on the third and and I just find out today about the fence too. She just told
me um and then um this is the the survey that they require uh for whenever you're going to apply for the permit uh for defense says I'm I'm the hamstead. I have to always depend on my contractor to to do that for me. So that's
something else that I cannot even do. something was so simple as pulling permit for even just uh replace a fence. So, this is dated uh even way before I uh the 3rd of um February, that's when I
went down to the city hall cuz I I wanted to find out about renewing the you know to to to change their fence because I have all the materials. Honestly, I've been having them for a while to already change that fence, but I I knew, as far as I know, that I
needed a permit. So, when I went down to the city uh to the building department, uh they told me because whatever I'm going to do, it's going to be around 150 bucks because, like I said, I have pretty much all the materials. Uh as long as the replacement of the fence is
less than $1,000, I don't need uh a permit. I don't need to require a permit. So, like I said, I recently just found out that and I could just have done that a long time ago, but I just recently found out that I don't need the permit and because I was struggling also with the contractors, previous
contractor and I have and I know that I depend on the contractor to even, you know, apply for the permit. So, that's why. But I already know that I can do it and I'm definitely going to take care of the fence cuz like I said, I have all the materials. I have the evidence. All that stuff you just said you have, did
you want to submit that into evidence? >> Uh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Copy for yourself. Is that the only copy? >> Uh, no, no, no, no. This is for you guys. >> Give it to to our to the attorney to to the attorney. >> Thank you.
>> So, um, I don't know if you guys need that because I don't I don't really need a permit. >> Whatever you want to put in the evidence is up to you. >> I mean, I don't need a I just found out I don't need a permit to uh uh replace the fence. I can just tomorrow go ahead and just replace it. I just just find out that
um so that's pretty much uh talking about generalized uh all the violations that I have. >> So So what you're saying is that the the tires and everything have been cleaned up, correct? >> Yeah, it Yeah. Yeah. It was like a
>> um the fence are taken care of. >> Yes, >> it will be. And so everything should be within the next 30 days everything should be taken care of. >> Yeah. Yeah. Like I said, next week I already have the uh schedule the inspection for the reverse so we can move forward with the pouring the
concrete and everything else and then uh like I said, you know, all the debies, anything that supposed to be on the front jar is is out. >> Any questions for the respondent? >> No, I just go ahead. I mean this is something we've seen you for unfortunately you know
several years like what's okay what you know what's going on that's taken so long to get this project >> well most of the mo mainly is my budget >> okay >> because I have to work with uh contractors that they will work with my budget
>> unfortunately >> okay >> I you know my like I was telling Lori uh my husband just got injured uh it's just me working for several months now I have family in Cuba now with everything politically wise it's even worse and then you know it's just me with
everything which I'm I'm okay with that you know I don't so it's even harder now but I'm trying to keep everything you know going forward um
>> okay no that's that's fair make sure you guys get a chance to look at the photos before we ask for a motion You can have a seat, ma'am. Thank you. >> I wanted to have a ask code enforcement. >> Go ahead. >> So, the four violations that remain, are
are they correctable? Uh, I mean, it sounded like some of them were nuisance buildings and >> Yeah, I don't know what the permit is. I don't know. I don't know what permits she got, but it sounded like there was, you know, a deadline as far as 90 days
of a building not being occupied. And then I just curious. I mean, the fence stuff and what was it the other thing? The fence stuff and the >> inoperative. >> Yeah, inoperative. I don't I don't know.
I'm I'm just curious. Can she actually be in, you know, compliance with the four that are left? it it's going to take a minute. Uh she and I spoke uh several months ago. Uh we walked the property and um explained the
different things that needed to happen to come to compliance. And as you can see, not not a lot really has happened. >> Um the the pictures that we showed shows that the the the state of the the property is in pretty bad shape. Um it's it's not cleaned. I'm getting calls
about it. We're getting complaints from neighbors. Um and it's it's in eyesore. it's a nuisance in the neighborhood. What needs to happen is the the property needs to move forward. The structure needs to be built. Um it needs to become a habitable structure uh instead of a
halfbuilt structure. I understand there's budgetary constraints and and whatnot, but to to come into compliance, the structure needs to move forward. Uh the property needs to be cleaned. Um, something that would help tremendously is uh controlling the the shrubs and the
brush uh on the on the front edge because spring's quick coming quickly and it's going to get out of control again. Right now uh some of it has died back a little bit but uh it it a lot has to be done on that property.
>> So it Yeah. So, but it does it sounds from what you're telling me, it sounds like that depending on what finding we come up with that we probably need to come back every 30 days and get a get a status report at the very at the very least, right? >> Yes. Um, we we need something that's
going to uh encourage action uh consistent action, not months or years. It needs to be consistent. Uh, so every 30 days would would be sufficient. >> Okay. Okay. Thanks.
My question to Lori, um, if you can come up. >> Can you pass the photos from >> Oh, sorry. >> You you recently visited the property as she shows in the pictures or before? >> I visited the property before she took those pictures. Okay. >> So, what I what I was saying as far as
the debris that were accumulated on on the site were still there when I looked at it this afternoon. she must have came in after I did and and got rid of the ladder and and tires and so forth and so on. So, she was able to, you know, do that part of the work, which she explained to me this morning that that's
what she was going to do. Um, I was probably there around 3:00 this afternoon when I >> So, there's more more cleanup needed and she knows that. >> Yes, sir. >> She she she said that she did not know about except the permit, which is I thought she would have the cleanup before she gets the permit. That's what
I thought in this case, but it's the opposite. She got the permit or the renewal of the permit and the other issues that uh visible from the street still outstanding. The other thing
construction material the place under construction that's not an a cleanup for her that's not required to be clean up. Is that true or I don't know because site is under construction >> and so forth and so on. um and and different things used for for the
construction certainly is warranted but there has been no progression you know there has been no forward movement so it's just it's just sitting >> okay >> again if we saw some progress uh some materials being used um certain things
going on onto the property that might be a different story but there's been little to no action um respondent didn't even know about the other violations until I brought that to her attention today she thought that the permit was the only one. Um, and I explained that
no, there there was more than in just that one. Uh, and then brought her up to speed >> and she's 100% now aware of all what she has to do. >> Yes, sir, she is. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Any other questions? >> Question. Um, I mean, since this is
clearly going to take a long time for her to finish given what she said about budgetary constraints and stuff like that, if she keeps the property nice and orderly, is that enough or are you guys expecting the house to be done by a certain date? Like, are you wanting if it's not done
by December, we're just going to make this worse or is it going to be like what what's her opportunity here if she can't just drop $300,000 to build a house tomorrow? What can she do? >> Right. This is this is a a a touchy situation, right? Uh what will help
significantly is maintain the property uh aesthetically. So you can have a property under construction. Um my last career I was worked for a construction company and we were required to maintain the site in a neat orderly fashion.
Debris was kept in a a dumpster um or removed. Uh bricks were kept in a separate section. lumber was stacked neatly, uh, not strewn about the place. Um, other items that are going to get in the way of construction, like the the big blue chair, um, the the little
rubber pavers that are lining everyone kind of peeling up. Um, those are not aesthetically appealing. It's putting a a big target on that. Every time somebody drives by, they're saying, "There's the house that's falling apart and not moving. It's abandoned. It's a nuisance." And then we get the phone calls. cleaning that structure up,
cleaning of the lot up is going to put it in a much better light, um, and will make it more conducive for her to continue the construction along the way. So, cleaning it up is is a huge huge part. And it's going to take more than a few hours. We're we're talking days, if
not weeks, to clean the site. >> That the fence needs to be completely replaced or just sections. >> It'll be the front part that needs to be uh replaced, sir. That's the That's the part that that's leaning and disrepair, missing the pickets. >> It's the front of the fence.
>> Okay. >> And we're we're on standby as well. If if uh if she would like to to work with us, we can come out there and and guide uh you know, make point this this needs to go if if it comes down to that. Um or if she'd like that, happy to work with her.
>> Okay. So, it would be enough then for her to just keep the property clean even if it takes her another two years to build the house. As long as the property stays relatively nice. >> Well, she has the permit and you have to do some work within the permit time frame. >> What's the time frame of the permit?
>> 6 months. >> Okay. So, she has to have the house built within 6 months or apply for new permit. >> This progress I think is the >> Yeah, you can renew you can renew the permit but you can't just let it sit there idle for 6 months. >> Oh, no. I wasn't suggesting that. What I was suggesting is that you know this
month she can build a wall genally that kind of thing as long as there's adequate progress and the site itself is kept neat and orderly then that would be enough to satisfy the code department >> and and we would qualify adequate progress in this sense enough to
maintain the the permit >> enough to keep the permit active or probably more than that I mean it's yeah >> I mean I think at this point >> you know don't forget we've been dealing with this particular property for I think years >> years now. >> Um and we've been, you know, very lenient and we trying to work with her.
We're still trying to work with her. Um but we need some we need progress. I mean, she said she's got to get rebar or something in on the top course to get the roof put on. I think having trusses on site by next month would be a good
thing. Having the trusses in place would be better. Having the trusses in place with the with the roof sheeting on top would be even better. So, we'd have to see what what she comes back with, but there's got to be some progress. There's got to be noticeable progress. Replacing that fence out front so when people
drive by it doesn't look like an eyesore. Um, keeping building materials neat and orderly, making sure the trash gets in the dumpster, making sure the dumpster gets emptied and replaced and, you know, when it when it's full. And, you know, having the um, like you said,
the pavers in place if they're going to if she's going to keep them there. I don't know why you would with construction going on, but that's up to her. Um, just a general orderly and neat progress. And she's going to have to come back every 30 days in my opinion. That's up to you guys, but in my
opinion, you know, we'll give her 30 days, but um, you know, I imagine she'll be back here in 30 days asking for another extension. But there has to be some progress. >> And if if I may, um, that that progress, just to clarify, needs to be
construction. There needs to be constant construction. >> It doesn't have to be all at one time, but there needs to be something happening on that house consistently and constantly uh to show the progress. We we've got to get a house built on that property. If that if the desire is to build a house, we need them to build a
house. >> I think we were talking about the roof this time last year. >> I don't I don't even know if there's four walls. >> There is. >> No. >> Is there? >> It looks like the picture I saw looked like there at least three walls. Anyway, >> David, I have a question.
>> The the the what I'm driving at Oh, I'm sorry. >> Well, no, I think >> and just a second. >> Um, well, what I guess I'm driving at here is it sounds like we're talking about two separate things that are in a whirlwind, we're talking about keeping the property neat and orderly so that it's not only safe to work in to build a house, but it also doesn't it's not an
isore. Get rid of the fence, that kind of stuff, maintain the yard and whatever. >> Um, but the other part is we keep dancing around this topic of progress on the house, but I If we want to see real progress, and I feel like we should either,
>> well, there's a saying for this. I can't say it in public, but we should either set a deadline or not. We should say what progress represents. We should give her something concrete, like you have to have the house built by December. >> That can that can be a number of different things. I you know, I used the
roof as an example >> and she said herself that she's waiting for additional rebar to put in the top course. I mean, personally, it would be I think it would be great if she at least had trusses on site by next month. If they were in place, even better. If they were in place with shingles on it, that's even better. So, there's a number
of And once she gets the roof on, then then she can start doing the work on the interior. Okay? And maybe you don't have the stuckle on the outside yet. That's that's fine. But she can at least get started on the electrical, the mechanical, the the partitions, etc., etc., etc. So I think that you know if
she gets the roof on to me that's progress. >> Yeah. I think it's rather than set a hard limit >> and it's again it's I don't you know it's means and methods by the contractor. I don't think we have the right to dictate those means and methods. >> Um but there has to be some sort of of
visible progress that will appease this board and the and the code enforcement. >> Yeah. Give her some give her some flexibility in what she can do as far as progress. >> Right. I'm not suggesting I'm suggesting the opposite actually. Not not the micromanage, right? Not to say you have to have a house on it by October or
anything or a roof on it by October. Um but I don't want her to come up here the next next month and for us to go oh this again and have to say oh well yeah sure you you got the yard cleaned up and yeah you you piled you set up part of a wall but well that's not enough progress for
us or hey that's great progress. I feel like we need to give her some kind of metric to go by so that she can >> I think our code department will take care of that. >> Not up to us to dictate what that progress looks like. >> Um it's just us to to rule on whether or not it's it's it's either in compliance,
not in compliance, or will be in compliance. >> You just have to satisfy this board that enough progress has been made. That's what I was going off of. So if if it doesn't have to satisfy us and it just has to satisfy the the code enforcement, then that that's a moot point. >> Yeah. I mean, we're gonna we're gonna rely on on them to tell us whether or
not they're satisfied with the progress. >> And if we're not, then we can talk about that. >> Yeah. >> So, you know, why are we not why are we whatever. We just need some sort of meaningful progress. We need to see the effort and I understand budgetary constraints and all.
>> A little bit out of order because this is really not the time for discussion. But David, >> I have one more last question. Uh, and it's for our code enforcement. Does she have a dumpster on site? >> No, she doesn't. >> And that's Isn't that required by at least four? Sometimes I've seen
dumpsters or uh Yeah, >> usually you see them, but I'm not sure. >> Sometimes they use uh for that >> cuz that's could be a minute. >> So the question is uh does she have a dumpster? The answer was no. The next
question was is it required? >> No, you can. It's how you remove your debris is your choice, but you can get a dumpster from the city if you would like. >> Okay. >> It's not required, >> but the debris can't sit on site. >> No. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, if there's no other questions,
respondent would like to have one last word. Come on up. State your name and address one more time. >> Uh, do you know Scalars 5106 East 122nd Avenue is Florida.
>> Go ahead. So, as for right now, there is not debris at all in the front yard at all. There is nothing besides the fence. And then there is materials. It's like a little pile. It's not everywhere. It's
just a specific location right next to the uh to the uh the house. You cannot even see it from the from the sidewalk. >> You cannot even see. >> If that's the case, that's fine. >> Yeah. You cannot even see it. >> So, here's the thing. tomorrow. I'm sure you'll be out there tomorrow or soon. Are you going to be
home tomorrow? Are you going to be out on site tomorrow? >> Sure. In the morning only. >> She will walk you through through what is or isn't done. >> Okay. >> And pay attention. >> Okay. Cuz that's you're going to have to satisfy her. Okay. >> Okay. Yeah. Yeah. No problem. >> And as far as you know, progress, you know, if you got if you can get the that
roof on, that's that wonderful. >> I wanted to say something about that roof. Uh so because the roof is going to be and I I I I said it before the the house is going to have a flat roof. A flat roof you have to do the framing inside first and then the
trusses later. If it will be your regular pick uh trusses you can put right now the trusses and then the framing after. So because of >> what's stopping you from putting the framing up? Well, actually, we haven't even finished the rebar. And I know
rebar is something that you cannot see really a lot of problem because it's something that you put inside the blocks even to put to put concrete inside the blocks. >> Still confusing me because >> why >> if the if the rebar is around the perimeter of the building? Is that what you're saying? >> No, you have to put ins you have to
insert rebar inside all around the blocks every four feet. >> And that's something that's a problem of the building, right? Inside the blocks, you have to put rebar. >> Okay, let me let me try again. >> The the the block goes around the outside of the building, right?
>> All the all the block is fully up wherever is supposed to go. >> Understood? Now you got to put rebar inside the house. >> What is stopping you from putting up the framing inside the house? >> You cannot put the framing uh unless you have to pass the rebar inspection first
>> before you can start your framing. >> Yeah, I mean it's per steps. >> I don't think so, but okay. I don't know. That's up to you. >> Can I just without >> they can start framing interior without >> that still has to be first. >> Oh,
>> okay. So, she can't start the framing until the >> It just won't be inspected, >> right? >> Yeah, but she can start it. That's what I thought. Yeah. >> Oh, I didn't know. I have to I thought everything has to be in order. >> You can start your framing. >> Okay. >> I got a question.
>> Go ahead. And you have the rebar and the framing done by the end of the month or by the next time we meet March 11th. >> Uh I can I can more likely try to have the rebar and the framing sometime by the end of this month and beginning of next month. Nobody has really nobody has
more more interest than me on finish the house. Absolutely. >> I you know I has mentioned before I pay $2,745 for that house every month and I can prove it to you guys. And before that, besides that, I also pay rent whenever I leave. You know, I I'm I'm in, you know,
I'm in trouble like I I told Lori um with the investor of that property and then we go into court about that property too. So that's also taking money away from me for the construction. And then besides everything, I also have to keep, you know, with you guys too. >> And I mentioned the framing is to help
you. So >> go ahead. If uh if she gets the rebar done by March 11th, would that be enough to satisfy progress being made and maintaining the property, getting the the other stuff, the the beautifification system? >> The rebar is not a a simple thing. So, I
mean that I would consider that pretty good progress for a month. >> Okay. So, we're giving her rebar is that you cannot see it because it goes inside. >> That's okay. If you can come in here and show us that you passed a rebar inspection, I think we would say, "Okay, you made progress." >> But rebar it goes inside. >> It's not a matter of what we can see. It's a matter of what you're doing. There's a lot of things you don't see in
the house that are awesome. >> I do not want to see all of your toilets, but I I I imagine you're going to put them in. >> There's no other questions. I'll entertain a motion. >> All right, I'll do this. >> You can have a seat, man. All right. In case number 25-4819,
I move that the city has proven by a greater weight of the evidence the following violations of the city of Temple Terrace city code exist. Wait, I guess we have to have to do complied and existing. All right, sorry. Let me start
over. In case number 25-4819, I move that the city has proven by a greater weight of the evidence the following violations of the city of temp city of temple terrace city code exist on the property located at 51 06 East
122nd Avenue. The code sections are 8-28 subsection A subsection one 10-4 subsection B subsection 4 10-34 12-860 and 12-861
subsection E subsection 8. This motion is based on the swore testimony this board has received from code enforcement officer Lorie Smith along with any other evidence including photos, affidavits, and the notice of violation. all of which is received and entered as part of the record of this hearing. I further
move that no fine be in imposed on the violation of code section 8-28 subsection A subsection 1 because the violation was brought into compliance prior to the date of this hearing. I further move that the remaining violations be corrected on or
before March 11th, 2026. I further move that the uh sorry and if the respondent does not comply with this order on hon or before that day they are ordered to pay a fine for each and every day the violations continue past the date set

members. Lorie Smith code compliance. This case originated from a citizen complaint on October the 7th, 2025. My inspection revealed the rear garage shed roof in disrepair. At this time, I left a door hanger with a compliance stated the 31st of October 2025. My
inspection on November the 14th, 2025 noted no change. Therefore, a notice of violation was prepared with a compliance date of the 3rd of December, 2025. Affidavit of service was obtained by hand delivery to homeowner Shazad Rana. At this time, I'd like to submit
photographic evidence the violation taken by me on November the 14th, 2025. >> Thank you. >> Exhibit number one shows the rear uh the rear yard shed garage roof and disrepair. Mr. Mr. Chairman, on the 14th of November 2025, January the 15th, and
January 21st, 2026, I spoke with Mr. Rana concerning the violation. At this time, Director Shanks provided written information regarding programs that Mr. Rana may qualify for or receive assistance with the violation. As of today's date, the site is not in
compliance, and I'm seeking a ruling. >> Very good. Any questions for the code officer? >> Go ahead. So, what's what's the latest conversation you've had with uh >> uh the latest is that he wants to tear it down the entire building.
>> Okay. Any other questions? Go ahead. >> Is there any progress or is it just >> It's still the same. >> Okay. >> Any other questions? >> Yes. >> Go ahead. >> Is anybody living in the house >> in in the principal structure? Yes. >> It's the garage.
>> Oh, it's the garage. >> Correct. >> Okay. So the garage is >> it's a detached garage. >> Oh, okay. It's it's not too clear. The picture not helped me a lot. >> Did he give any timeline on >> He didn't, but the gentleman is here uh tonight and may be able to give it a
little bit more insight and provide, you know, an answer to that question. >> Yeah. Did the respondent want to come up and say something? Good evening. >> Name and address, please. >> Shazad Rana. Uh, address 12605 North
51st Street. Okay. >> Well, let me Can I just read a statement and then we can discuss about it? >> Sure. Uh well, I'm here in response to the code informal notice regarding the detached
garage. First, I want to acknowledge that understand the city concern for the property maintenance and neighborhood standards, and I have always tried to keep my property in good condition, but circumstances beyond my control have made full compliance difficult right now. The garage in question is a
detached accessic structure located behind my home. It is not used for living space. Has no utility connected to it for habitation and is not visible from the not I mean it's partially visible you know the damage was caused by the hurricane
last year hurricane which really impacted the roof and the structure throughout Tampa. Due to the limited resources I had to prioritize repairs. I replaced the roof on my primary residence first because it was leaking badly creating an immediate safety and
habit habitatility risk for me as a occupant. To cover that major expense, I looked significant loans and I'm still repaying those my loans and I'm on social security and fixed retirement. I'm 70 years old. My mom is almost 90
years old. She lives in the house. She needs constant care. She has age related issues. I don't have any other income. I She gave me several references. I also talked with Hillsboro County
uh improvement. I don't know what's there's a board something like that. They help you Hillsboro or the city of Tampa. You know, they have a uh they don't have the kora. They said call next year. on a call last year.
They said we we have depleted our funds. We we can't help you. Uh I was told to check with Hibit for Humanity. They said they don't have funds either. So I almost 6 months ago or maybe four months ago, I contacted
somebody to get trusses and they gave me a timeline for 90 days to get the trusses and they gave me an astronomical figure, you know, for $5,000 just to put trusses on the roof. By that time, my roof got busted with
the hurricanes and all that stuff. So I have to prioritize which one I want to do. I want to fix a garage. I want to fix my house. So, it has uh cinder block walls. I mean, I can remove the roof completely
and keep the just uh the sidewalls. I mean, if this is such an eyesore, I can do that. I have to do it myself. I can't hire labor. All the labor is uh ran off. because of the the immigration stuff and
all that stuff. Even the the roofer which I hired, he didn't even complete my roof and uh they never showed up. I called them, nobody's showing up. The permit is still hanging on my door. They never brought the permit to the city to get
reinspected. So, this is what I'm going through. >> Do you have you have homeowners insurance? >> No, I I I don't have a homeowners insurance. Yes. because it's uh fully paid and it's homestead. >> Okay.
>> And that's why I never took uh home insurance. >> Okay. >> Any other questions? >> You can have a seat, sir. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Question for code enforcement. Can he just take the ceiling roof off? >> Okay.
>> I was going to say the whole building or it's all or nothing, right? >> Correct. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> One more question. >> Go ahead for Jack. Uh are are is this it's in the bag? Is it an eyes sore or
who's complaining? Is it our code enforcement or neighbors? >> It's a little bit of both. Uh we we see it. We see it from the road. It's it's visible. Um we've gotten calls from from neighbors that live in the area um about it, but
uh really it's the the main structure itself um is it's got the new roof on it. It's it's it's good. It's just this detached part in the back that's really the uh the issue. And you you can see it from the road. Um and uh we we just want to try to help
him get this taken care of. Uh we have provided him some resources. Um, and I'm happy to reach out to them again, uh, to try to, you know, get this this moving. Being on a fixed income and being a homeowner are are challenging right now, especially if you have no homeowners
insurance. Uh, so we'll see if we can identify another avenue for him. Matter of fact, uh, the city attorney gave me one just the other day that I'm going to reach out to. It's a new one to me. So, we'll see what we can do. >> Okay. Any other questions? I just for
Yeah. Director Shanks. So, it looks like there's an open hole in the roof. Is that so anything inside is going to be it's going to rot, deteriorate? I mean, there's other problems that are going to crop up because of the hole in the roof. I assume >> it it could be. And that's one of the reasons that the code is written the way
it is. So, it keeps critters and right um moisture and things like that out. Um I haven't been inside the structure and I don't I haven't looked inside. Uh so I I I can't say for certain what that you know the damage is uh just from what we can see from the road.
>> Okay. Thanks. >> Any other questions? >> One more. Um is it is the structure fenced off? It looks like it is from the photos to where you know people can't get in or kids can't get in things like that. You know
>> he has he has a chain link fence uh around >> Okay. >> the side that we can see anyway. >> Okay. Okay. That's good. All right. Any other questions? Sir, you had you want to say something else? >> Yeah. >> Uh, wait, wait till you get to the podium. State your name and address and then
speak. Thank you. >> Yeah. Shadana 12605 North 31st. I suggested to Rory Smith that maybe I can put or plant some trees, you know, tall trees in front of my so that it'll just give,
you know, like a a nice view, you know, uh so that it it just hide, you know. I already had a on my chain length fence. I put a a see-through I don't know what it's called. It's a
cloth type thing, you know, you see around the tennis courts. I don't know what it's called. I put it around the fence. Yeah. So, that hid quite a bit of it. Uh I can knock off some hanging
some hanging panels and stuff like that and make it a little bit decent. But other than that, I can't do anything with the roof. It need new trusses and new new sheeting on it. Uh this the garage itself it has a solid uh concrete uh base >> pad. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Pad. So it's not going to rot or critters not going to come or something like that. So uh I usually keep a chain and lock on the fence >> so nobody can go in or stuff like that. It's inhabitable. You're there. I only have uh in that garage. I have my
uh well and the uh the pressure uh pump inside housed inside the it's actually it's an L-shaped. One side is good, one side is busted because the tree fall tree fell on it. >> Okay. Thank you.
>> Okay. A quick question kind of in relation to what you just said. Is it is it fair to say that you have no intention of fixing the roof? >> I beg your pardon. >> Do you have no intention of fixing the roof like at all? >> Well, it it cost money and I I am
limited in that. Uh because my age, I I can't even go work outside and get more money, you know, like like put everything. I hardly I am on social security. I am on food stamps. I uh I'm also on low-inccome energy uh t to they
get funds from the the city. I don't know who who pays that but that's not adequate because the bills are you know like coming around $350 to $400 a month because of this cold spell you know my heat pump was running day and night. So
plus the taxes I have uh segregated them you know into quarterly. I uh went to the downtown, you know, and they said, "Okay, instead of paying the full year's taxes, you can pay quarterly." So that's what where I can do I I do it, you know. So
>> So So you don't really you're just not going to >> see nobody wants, you know, the the house look awful, you know. I would like to see my house look pretty, too, you know. But I have to prioritize the the roof which I was living under, you know. I have to fix that first. >> There's no judgment here. I'm not I'm
not casting judgment on you. I just >> on the back, you know, it's it's it's almost 70 ft behind the house, >> right? But it can be seen. And even if it couldn't be seen, it's still it's still a danger because that wood will rot and it's the >> No, I can remove the wood. I mean, if that's the initial thing, I can probably
within a month I can remove that roof. >> So, what's what's your path? >> Problem is, you can't just remove the roof. If you're going to if you're going to >> partial roof, actually, basically, >> yeah, if you're going to demo, you have to demo the entire building. And I would think that at 601, half
dozen another, the cost of demo is probably going to be about the same as replacing the roof. >> I have a sledgehammer. I can just swing it every day, you know, and just knock some cylinder blocks off and just dispose them little by little. I have a trailer in the backyard. I can put them out and go uh and dump the the debris at
the landfill. >> So, I know my ways around, you know, but I mean, I I just have don't have the money. >> I get it. >> Yeah. But I'm just letting you know that uh just getting rid of the roof is not the answer. >> Okay. >> Yes, sir.
>> If I may, um my intention is to uh continue to try to to find somebody that may be able to assist in getting this taken care of for you. Um there are several nonprofits. One of the issues we've have with nonprofits uh with getting this roof put on this
garage is it's detached. Yeah. from the main structure and a lot of them won't do an accessory. Uh so um but we're going to keep trying to find this to try to help you through this. >> Believe me, I tried many many avenues. You know, I I even talked with FEMA and
all that stuff, you know. It's not one hurricane. It came first came uh Helen and then came Milton, you know, and they did the real work on the house. Yeah, we're going to get we're going to continue.
>> Is the tree still? >> No, the tree is gone. I I got a chainsaw and I chopped it for myself, you know, because I can't get the the arbor, you know. They they cost astronomical amount. >> But you you have removed the tree. >> Uh yeah, they the tree is gone, but
there is still one tree hanging over the roof. I still have to cut that one. >> Okay. >> All right. You can have a seat. Thank you. Guess I had one more question >> or >> code. >> Go ahead. >> So, let's just say that he does get uh
he wants to demolish the the structure. There's a permit involved with that, right? And how long does it take to get that permit processed? Isn't what I'm I guess I'm asking is is this anything that can happen in 30 days if if he decided to go that route, which
it doesn't I'm not sure he's even >> Yeah, he can get the permit. It's going to take longer than 30 days to get the whole process done. Um, but it's also not a cheap process uh to to demolish. And you know, the permitting itself isn't that bad, but the demolishing part
itself is is going to be substantial. >> So, it sounds like the route the the trying to get someone to help him with repairing the roof is probably the route to go. It sounds >> Yeah. So, we're we're going to continue to try to try to work with them. >> All right. Thanks. >> Any other questions?
If not, I'll entertain a motion. Go ahead. >> In case number 25-3917, I move that the city has proven by a greater weight of the evidence the following violations of the city of Temple Terrace City Code exist on the property located at 12605 North 51st
Street. Uh the violation is 8-102 subsection 13 subsection M. This motion is based on the sworn testimony of this board is received from the code enforcement officer Lorie Smith along with any other evidence including photos, affidavit, and the notice of

If the respondent does not comply with this order on or before that day, they are ordered to pay a fine each and every day the violation continuing to pass the date set for compliance.
Upon considering the following factors, the gravity of the violation, any actions taken by the violator to correct the violation, and any previous violations committed by the violator, I move that the fine be $25 per day. >> We have a motion. Do we have a second? >> Second. >> Motion and second. Any further discussion? Seeing none, all those in
favor? >> I opposed. No nays. Motion carries. So, sir, you have been found in violation of the code. You have until March 11th to bring the property into compliance. If you're unable to bring the property into compliance, you may come back here and ask for an extension. An extension is
not guaranteed, but you're welcome to ask for one. If for any reason you're unable to make it, please reach out to the code enforcement director or the code enforcement officer and let them know um what the reason why you can't make it is and and what your intentions

contacted the maintenance manager of the Tampa Mall regarding repairing the street lights who stated he would check with an electrician and search for new globes to complete the repairs. After several calls with no progress, I prepared a notice of violation on November on December 11th, 2025 with a
reinspection date of December 31st, 2025. I hand delivered a copy to mall manager, Mr. Chauuki and a copy was met posted at city hall for the 10-day requirement and copies were mailed both certified and regular mail to the address of owner. A reinspection on January 23rd showed no
change. So a notice of hearing was prepared on that date and the case was scheduled for the February municipal codeboard meeting. This time I'd like to submit photographic evidence taken by myself on December 11th, 2025. >> Thank you. >> Exhibit number one is the affidavit of
posting for the notice of violation. Exhibit number two is the affidavit of service for the notice of hearing posting. Exhibit number three shows one of the damaged decorative lights. The site is not in compliance and I'm seeking a ruling. >> Any questions for the code officer?
>> I just probably asked the standard one. Go ahead. >> Have you had any recent conversation with the with the own property? >> Uh probably about a week ago. >> Was there any indication that they were going to fix the problem? sent me a photo of some lights working in another
area that weren't the ones that were the issue. So, I made them aware, which I would have thought they understood after all these con conversations we've had, but so I made them aware that that's not the issue was the more decorative lights along the u edge of the perimeter of the property.
>> Did he give any indication about >> No, sir. >> Doing anything or >> Well, he says he said before they were going to work on it. So, >> okay. >> He does seem to be showing some progress. She got some lights working. >> What's the risk of that like falling off on someone?
>> They didn't fall during the hurricane. So, >> I would say that's >> if if kids jump up there just being kids and they you know >> Well, there's a possibility those globes could fall. Sure. >> Yeah. >> Possibility if they're in place get up there, >> right? I I'm just saying like but if
it's wonky, it's it's more likely. >> Any other questions? >> Yeah. So you you said that he that he had corrected some of the lighting problems in >> lighting's against the building but not the ones that were the original issue to begin with. >> Okay. So maybe just was an awareness possibly an awareness thing.
>> I would assume so. I would have thought he would have talked to his maintenance manager who I've had several conversations on what they were. >> Kind of hard to miss. >> You would think. >> Any other questions? Seeing none, I'll entertain a motion.
