over today's hearing.

13
00:01:23,632 --> 00:01:25,000
I would ask everyone to silence

Okay.

So I have previously review and

00:02:17,453 --> 00:02:19,853

41
00:02:23,559 --> 00:02:25,527
For today's agenda, do we have

42
00:02:25,527 --> 00:02:27,927
any late abatements or

43
00:02:28,397 --> 00:02:30,397

47
00:02:50,819 --> 00:02:52,221
>> ok.

48
00:02:52,221 --> 00:02:53,550
Is that abatement or

49
00:02:53,550 --> 00:02:53,889
postponement?

50
00:02:53,889 --> 00:02:55,290
>> abatement.

51
00:02:55,290 --> 00:02:57,690
>> with that abatement, the

52
00:03:07,135 --> 00:03:08,337
agenda for today is approved.

53
00:03:08,337 --> 00:03:10,337
All right.

54
00:03:11,941 --> 00:03:13,609
Are we going straight to cases

55
00:03:13,609 --> 00:03:15,144
with people present in the room?

56
00:03:15,144 --> 00:03:16,645
Thank you for being here.

57
00:03:16,645 --> 00:03:18,180
Take the table and chair and

58
00:03:18,180 --> 00:03:19,715
microphone is over to my right,

59
00:03:19,715 --> 00:03:20,482
I'll be able to seeened a hear

60
00:03:20,482 --> 00:03:22,510
you from there.

61
00:03:22,510 --> 00:03:24,530
The way I'm going to proceed

62
00:03:24,530 --> 00:03:25,254
with each case is when it's

63
00:03:25,254 --> 00:03:25,654
called, I'll hear from the city

64
00:03:25,654 --> 00:03:27,654
first.

65
00:03:28,657 --> 00:03:30,259
I'll hear the testimony from the

66
00:03:30,259 --> 00:03:32,161
city's code enforcement

67
00:03:32,161 --> 00:03:34,561
officers, and any other

68
00:03:34,830 --> 00:03:36,498
witnesses that the city calls.

69
00:03:36,498 --> 00:03:37,499
Typically the city will display

70
00:03:37,499 --> 00:03:39,802
photographic evidence of the

71
00:03:39,802 --> 00:03:41,269
alleged violations on the

72
00:03:41,269 --> 00:03:42,938
monitors around the room, so

73
00:03:42,938 --> 00:03:43,805
you'll have an opportunity to

74
00:03:43,805 --> 00:03:45,805
see that.

75
00:03:46,742 --> 00:03:47,777
Once the city has concluded the

76
00:03:47,777 --> 00:03:48,944
presentation, made my

77
00:03:48,944 --> 00:03:50,279
recommendations to me on how it

78
00:03:50,279 --> 00:03:51,480
believes the matter should be

79
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,548
resolved, at that point I will

80
00:03:52,548 --> 00:03:54,817
come over to you.

81
00:03:54,817 --> 00:03:55,918
Have you worn in, and I will be

82
00:03:55,918 --> 00:03:56,919
happy to hear from you.

83
00:03:56,919 --> 00:03:58,654
If you have any questions for

84
00:03:58,654 --> 00:04:00,890
the city's witnesses, you're

85
00:04:00,890 --> 00:04:02,591
entitled to ask those questions.

86
00:04:02,591 --> 00:04:04,193
If you brought any additional

87
00:04:04,193 --> 00:04:05,160
documents or photographs with

88
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,462
you that you believe are

89
00:04:06,462 --> 00:04:08,564
relevant to the case, so that

90
00:04:08,564 --> 00:04:08,764
will be the time to produce

91
00:04:08,764 --> 00:04:10,764
those.

92
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,200
And after I've heard everything

93
00:04:16,538 --> 00:04:18,507
from everybody on the matter, in

94
00:04:18,507 --> 00:04:20,175
all likelihood, I will enter an

95
00:04:20,175 --> 00:04:22,411
order in the matter of the case.

96
00:04:22,411 --> 00:04:24,380
Sometimes cases are continued,

97
00:04:24,380 --> 00:04:27,416
but that is how we will proceed

98
00:04:27,416 --> 00:04:29,416
with the case.

99
00:04:30,853 --> 00:04:31,787
Let's call the first case that

100
00:04:31,787 --> 00:04:34,187
we're going to hear.

An inspection was done and

114

representation of the property

123
00:05:34,783 --> 00:05:35,840

125
00:05:37,286 --> 00:05:39,455

There is no trespassing.

226
00:08:51,881 --> 00:08:52,581
That is more than obvious he is

227
00:08:52,581 --> 00:08:54,550

Should be in any time.

247
00:09:22,511 --> 00:09:25,381
You want to check it out with

This is trespassing.

257
00:09:42,198 --> 00:09:44,100
This is invasion of privacy.

258
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:45,935
Show me the contract and I want

259
00:09:45,935 --> 00:09:46,969

00:10:28,244 --> 00:10:30,450
>> isn't that why I am here so

288
00:10:30,450 --> 00:10:32,140
you can tell me what to do?

289
00:10:32,140 --> 00:10:33,783
>> no, you're here so you have

290
00:10:33,783 --> 00:10:34,417

whatever evidence you feel is

292
00:10:36,252 --> 00:10:37,753

>> I have heard that four times.

296
00:10:42,324 --> 00:10:43,325
I'm not the smartest guy in the

297
00:10:43,325 --> 00:10:44,860
world, but I usually get the

298
00:10:44,860 --> 00:10:46,929
first time you say it, so I

299
00:10:46,929 --> 00:10:47,997
don't need to hear that again.

300
00:10:47,997 --> 00:10:49,398
Is there anything else you would

301
00:10:49,398 --> 00:10:50,900
like to place into the record

302
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:51,367

303
00:10:51,367 --> 00:10:53,102
>> yeah.

304
00:10:53,102 --> 00:10:53,969

So is there anything new you

313

>> no, not at all.

328
00:11:25,340 --> 00:11:26,635
You're just the first person in

330
00:11:29,105 --> 00:11:29,605
as a magistrate to tell me

331
00:11:29,605 --> 00:11:31,605
they're alive.

332
00:11:31,641 --> 00:11:32,875
I usually get that when they're

333
00:11:32,875 --> 00:11:35,411
standing there to talking to me.

334
00:11:35,411 --> 00:11:36,450

383
00:14:24,213 --> 00:14:26,213
swale prohibited.

384
00:14:28,317 --> 00:14:29,218
The photos depict an accurate

385
00:14:29,218 --> 00:14:30,653
representation of the property

386
00:14:30,653 --> 00:14:30,853
at the time the photos were

387
00:14:30,853 --> 00:14:32,421
taken.

388
00:14:32,421 --> 00:14:33,856
A notice of violation was issued

389
00:14:33,856 --> 00:14:34,990
FEBRUARY 13, 2026.

390
00:14:34,990 --> 00:14:37,360
The respondent had until

391
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,227
FEBRUARY 21, 2026 to bring the

392
00:14:38,227 --> 00:14:39,262
property into compliance.

393
00:14:39,262 --> 00:14:41,464
Compliance was not achieved by

394
00:14:41,464 --> 00:14:43,466
such date, and so a notice of

395
00:14:43,466 --> 00:14:46,402
hearing was furnished on JULY

396
00:14:46,402 --> 00:14:48,371
10, 2026, by certified mail.

397
00:14:48,371 --> 00:14:49,973
On AUGUST 19, 2026, proper

398
00:14:49,973 --> 00:14:52,542
service was achieved by posting

399
00:14:52,542 --> 00:14:52,775
the property with a notice of

400
00:14:52,775 --> 00:14:53,742
hearing.

401
00:14:53,742 --> 00:14:54,811
the city requests that the

402
00:14:54,811 --> 00:14:56,579
respondents be ordered to comply

403
00:14:56,579 --> 00:14:58,281
with the cited provisions of the

404
00:14:58,281 --> 00:15:00,349
city of port st. Lucie code by

405
00:15:00,349 --> 00:15:01,617
SEPTEMBER 9, 2026, and if not in

406
00:15:01,617 --> 00:15:03,519
compliance by that date, then a

407
00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:07,119
hearing be held to determine a

408
00:15:07,356 --> 00:15:08,258
fine to be imposed against the

409
00:15:08,258 --> 00:15:10,258
subject property.

410
00:15:11,270 --> 00:15:11,327
So this is the left side of the

411
00:15:11,327 --> 00:15:13,295
property.

412
00:15:13,295 --> 00:15:14,864
You can see the obstruction in

413
00:15:14,864 --> 00:15:17,264
the swale right here.

414
00:15:18,601 --> 00:15:20,601
The pavers.

415
00:15:21,370 --> 00:15:24,370
The front of the property.

416
00:15:25,441 --> 00:15:29,410
There is a closeup of it.

417
00:15:31,481 --> 00:15:32,548
That is the posting.

418
00:15:32,548 --> 00:15:34,548
>> pardon me.

419
00:15:36,853 --> 00:15:39,422
And that wall is not on the

420
00:15:39,422 --> 00:15:41,290
property owner's line?

421
00:15:41,290 --> 00:15:42,358
It's in the city's right-of-way?

422
00:15:42,358 --> 00:15:44,358
>> correct.

423
00:15:44,393 --> 00:15:45,461
I did confer with public works

424
00:15:45,461 --> 00:15:46,195
department yesterday regarding

425
00:15:46,195 --> 00:15:48,195
that situation.

426
00:15:48,231 --> 00:15:49,432
That wall is wholly on city

427
00:15:49,432 --> 00:15:51,367
property.

428
00:15:51,367 --> 00:15:51,534
It's not a permitted wall in any

429
00:15:51,534 --> 00:15:53,534
way.

430
00:15:54,871 --> 00:15:55,905
It would be a decorative feature

431
00:15:55,905 --> 00:15:56,639
that would have to be holy on

432
00:15:56,639 --> 00:15:58,639
private property.

433
00:16:00,410 --> 00:16:02,578
>> it looks like it's actually

434
00:16:02,578 --> 00:16:02,779
holding back like a retaining

435
00:16:02,779 --> 00:16:04,779
wall.

436
00:16:05,514 --> 00:16:08,418
>> yeah, so it would have to be

437
00:16:08,418 --> 00:16:09,485
depending on the circumstance

438
00:16:09,485 --> 00:16:12,755
for the city to permit any type

439
00:16:12,755 --> 00:16:15,755
of retention wall within the

440
00:16:17,427 --> 00:16:17,560
city right-of-way.

441
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,560
>>

442
00:16:20,830 --> 00:16:23,830
>> I believe the wall functions

443
00:16:25,435 --> 00:16:27,835
primarily decorative, but the

444
00:16:29,572 --> 00:16:32,642
land is built up behind it

445
00:16:32,642 --> 00:16:33,643
specifically.

446
00:16:33,643 --> 00:16:34,744
>> okay.

447
00:16:34,744 --> 00:16:36,512
>> well, I don't think SEPTEMBER

448
00:16:36,512 --> 00:16:38,140
9 is a realistic compliance date

449
00:16:38,140 --> 00:16:41,384
no matter what we do here, so

450
00:16:41,384 --> 00:16:44,384
let's keep that in mind.

451
00:16:46,355 --> 00:16:46,655
and let me -- are you MS. Brady?

452
00:16:46,655 --> 00:16:48,655
Yes, ma'am.

453
00:16:48,858 --> 00:16:52,962
Let me get you sworn in, and

454
00:16:52,962 --> 00:16:54,730
I'll be happy to hear from you.

455
00:16:54,730 --> 00:16:57,400
>> please raise your right hand.

456
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:58,301
>> do you swear or affirm the

457
00:16:58,301 --> 00:16:59,635
testimony you offer today is the

458
00:16:59,635 --> 00:17:01,471
truth and nothing but the truth?

459
00:17:01,471 --> 00:17:02,438
>> yes.

460
00:17:02,438 --> 00:17:04,707
>> please state your name for

461
00:17:04,707 --> 00:17:05,175
the record.

462
00:17:05,175 --> 00:17:07,175
Just your name.

463
00:17:08,878 --> 00:17:10,878
>> juna brady.

464
00:17:12,348 --> 00:17:14,748
>> thank you, MS. Brady.

465
00:17:15,551 --> 00:17:16,986
So what can you tell me about

466
00:17:16,986 --> 00:17:17,487
this wall and what's going on

467
00:17:17,487 --> 00:17:19,487
with this?

468
00:17:20,523 --> 00:17:21,758
>> okay.

469
00:17:21,758 --> 00:17:22,692
I'm really slow because I am

470
00:17:22,692 --> 00:17:23,526
recovering from a stroke.

471
00:17:23,526 --> 00:17:24,994
>> yes, ma'am.

472
00:17:24,994 --> 00:17:26,863
>> so bear with me.

473
00:17:26,863 --> 00:17:27,864
>> I'm glad you're recovering.

474
00:17:27,864 --> 00:17:29,131
That's good news.

475
00:17:29,131 --> 00:17:32,131
But yes, take your time.

476
00:17:34,604 --> 00:17:39,404
>> I did go to the city and ask

477
00:17:40,710 --> 00:17:44,910
them over on the other side, if

478
00:17:44,914 --> 00:17:48,510
I need a permit, the reason why

479
00:17:48,510 --> 00:17:50,887
I did that was -- I'm on the

480
00:17:50,887 --> 00:17:52,887
corner --

481
00:17:54,623 --> 00:17:56,623
>> I see that.

482
00:17:59,328 --> 00:18:02,328
And everything -- everything was

483
00:18:11,341 --> 00:18:13,509
on the property and the sewer --

484
00:18:13,509 --> 00:18:16,509
you know, the dirt blocks

485
00:18:17,614 --> 00:18:19,614
everything.

486
00:18:25,455 --> 00:18:25,655
You can't get out because of the

487
00:18:25,655 --> 00:18:26,656
dirt.

488
00:18:26,656 --> 00:18:27,958
>> every year I have been

489
00:18:27,958 --> 00:18:30,827
putting two loads of dirt on

490
00:18:30,827 --> 00:18:31,561
there because when it rains,

491
00:18:31,561 --> 00:18:32,695
everything --

492
00:18:32,695 --> 00:18:33,463
>> washed out?

493
00:18:33,463 --> 00:18:35,463
>> okay.

494
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:42,000
>> so I came to the city over

495
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:45,375
and asked them if I need a

496
00:18:45,375 --> 00:18:46,209
permit to prevent --

497
00:18:46,209 --> 00:18:48,609
my husband is sick.

498
00:18:49,813 --> 00:18:52,682
I am recovering from a stroke,

499
00:18:52,682 --> 00:18:56,282
but before then, it was very

500
00:18:59,355 --> 00:19:00,924
hard for us when we call the

501
00:19:00,924 --> 00:19:01,457
city, four, five times they get

502
00:19:01,457 --> 00:19:03,457
stuck there.

503
00:19:09,599 --> 00:19:09,832
Everything is there at the

504
00:19:09,832 --> 00:19:11,832
corner.

505
00:19:12,135 --> 00:19:13,202
So they are telling me I don't

506
00:19:13,202 --> 00:19:15,202
need a permit.

507
00:19:16,839 --> 00:19:19,709
I didn't ask how far and they

508
00:19:19,709 --> 00:19:21,709
didn't tell me.

509
00:19:22,645 --> 00:19:25,645
>> let me ask you --

510
00:19:26,150 --> 00:19:27,170
>> they didn't tell me how far

511
00:19:27,170 --> 00:19:29,417
in I could go.

512
00:19:29,452 --> 00:19:34,252
So I come and I waited a little

513
00:19:34,357 --> 00:19:37,460
bit and then I put it --

514
00:19:37,460 --> 00:19:40,697
since I put the wall, there's no

515
00:19:40,697 --> 00:19:43,970
cars stuck in there.

516
00:19:45,168 --> 00:19:46,903
I don't have -- my husband don't

517
00:19:46,903 --> 00:19:48,671
have to come out every time and

518
00:19:48,671 --> 00:19:50,671
call the city.

519
00:19:50,673 --> 00:19:52,775
If they look, they could see how

520
00:19:52,775 --> 00:19:56,375
many times my neighbor call the

521
00:19:57,448 --> 00:20:01,480
city because it affect her, too.

522
00:20:02,685 --> 00:20:05,221
So when I get this, the lady

523
00:20:05,221 --> 00:20:08,959
came and told me I should be 2

524
00:20:08,959 --> 00:20:11,861
feet in, but I says, but I

525
00:20:11,861 --> 00:20:13,861
didn't know that.

526
00:20:14,197 --> 00:20:15,980
They -- I should have asked the

527
00:20:15,980 --> 00:20:18,980
question, yes, but they should

528
00:20:22,472 --> 00:20:23,439
have told me, yes, there is no

529
00:20:23,439 --> 00:20:26,175
permit, but you should be --

530
00:20:26,175 --> 00:20:27,811
>> when did the wall go in?

531
00:20:27,811 --> 00:20:28,478
Do you know about how old it is?

532
00:20:28,478 --> 00:20:30,478
>> the wall?

533
00:20:31,815 --> 00:20:33,815
>> yes, ma'am.

534
00:20:38,321 --> 00:20:39,822
>> an it's about two years now.

535
00:20:39,822 --> 00:20:40,657
And as you see, we have a lot of

536
00:20:40,657 --> 00:20:42,657
rain now.

537
00:20:47,970 --> 00:20:49,970
>> we sure have.

538
00:20:49,832 --> 00:20:50,320
>> it keep washing the dirt

539
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,968
down.

540
00:20:51,968 --> 00:20:53,469
So the wall keeps the dirt from

541
00:20:53,469 --> 00:20:55,469
coming down.

542
00:21:01,477 --> 00:21:02,112
It's also beautiful in the

543
00:21:02,112 --> 00:21:04,112
neighborhood.

544
00:21:06,382 --> 00:21:06,616
>> so I mean, here's what I am

545
00:21:06,616 --> 00:21:08,616
seeing.

546
00:21:09,385 --> 00:21:10,720
This does violate the city's

547
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,656
code based on what I have seen

548
00:21:12,656 --> 00:21:13,923
and whey eve heard this morning.

549
00:21:13,923 --> 00:21:18,723
But this is not going to be a

550
00:21:19,462 --> 00:21:21,462
simple fix.

551
00:21:32,576 --> 00:21:34,177
the way that the grading is and

552
00:21:34,177 --> 00:21:35,278
so I am going to make a finding

553
00:21:35,278 --> 00:21:37,480
that the wall violates the

554
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,480
city's code, but I'm reluctant

555
00:21:40,950 --> 00:21:44,550
to set a compliance date today

556
00:21:45,655 --> 00:21:47,456
because this is going to require

557
00:21:47,456 --> 00:21:48,658
you and the city to put their

558
00:21:48,658 --> 00:21:51,694
heads together and try and come

559
00:21:51,694 --> 00:21:54,694
up with a reasonable solution

560
00:21:55,231 --> 00:21:56,633
that fixes it, and this is going

561
00:21:56,633 --> 00:21:58,633
to take time.

562
00:21:58,969 --> 00:22:00,203
So in lieu of setting a

563
00:22:00,203 --> 00:22:03,203
compliance date, does the city

564
00:22:03,940 --> 00:22:04,174
have any suggestions on how to

565
00:22:04,174 --> 00:22:05,742
--

566
00:22:05,742 --> 00:22:06,910
>> I did meet with the deputy

567
00:22:06,910 --> 00:22:08,211
director of public works

568
00:22:08,211 --> 00:22:09,145
specifically to discuss this

569
00:22:09,145 --> 00:22:11,145
property yesterday.

570
00:22:11,915 --> 00:22:13,115
So we're not opposed to

571
00:22:13,115 --> 00:22:15,115
additional time.

572
00:22:16,152 --> 00:22:18,621
And then we can work offline

573
00:22:18,621 --> 00:22:20,457
with the respondent to come up

574
00:22:20,457 --> 00:22:23,426
with a time frame for when the

575
00:22:23,426 --> 00:22:24,694
wall can be -- it's about -- the

576
00:22:24,694 --> 00:22:27,731
wall would have to be basically

577
00:22:27,731 --> 00:22:29,132
even with the other landscaping.

578
00:22:29,132 --> 00:22:30,500
Give or take 5 feet, depending

579
00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:30,834
on the location.

580
00:22:30,834 --> 00:22:32,668
>> all right.

581
00:22:32,668 --> 00:22:35,680
To be moved back.

582
00:22:36,907 --> 00:22:41,707
>> let me ask, in -- as we sit

583
00:22:42,178 --> 00:22:44,914
here this morning, is the city's

584
00:22:44,914 --> 00:22:45,449
drainage system functioning

585
00:22:45,449 --> 00:22:47,449
here?

586
00:22:48,885 --> 00:22:50,520
>> I do believe it is.

587
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,880
I don't know -- so they didn't

588
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,525
say this was causing a direct

589
00:22:55,525 --> 00:22:55,992
hazard to the system as of

590
00:22:55,992 --> 00:22:57,160
today.

591
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,194
Their fear was the wall was

592
00:22:58,194 --> 00:22:59,620
built without a permit.

593
00:22:59,620 --> 00:23:00,597
>> sure.

594
00:23:00,597 --> 00:23:03,597
>> one would never be granted

595
00:23:04,301 --> 00:23:05,435
for this realistically in the

596
00:23:05,435 --> 00:23:06,870
city right-of-way.

597
00:23:06,870 --> 00:23:11,400
So they don't want to say that

598
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:11,708
the wall is necessarily okay,

599
00:23:11,708 --> 00:23:12,809
and as it is because they

600
00:23:12,809 --> 00:23:14,809
haven't inspected that.

601
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,649
>> no, just if there was

602
00:23:19,649 --> 00:23:23,249
actually -- if it was impeding

603
00:23:24,621 --> 00:23:25,155
the functionality of the system,

604
00:23:25,155 --> 00:23:27,155
that is

605
00:23:27,257 --> 00:23:29,920
>> as of today, it is not

606
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:29,359
backing up the storm water

607
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,694
drainage.

608
00:23:30,694 --> 00:23:33,694
>> I understand the comment no

609
00:23:34,197 --> 00:23:35,432
permit, no inspection, no way to

610
00:23:35,432 --> 00:23:36,733
know the stability of the wall.

611
00:23:36,733 --> 00:23:38,100
>> if tomorrow it washes out.

612
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:39,869
>> right.

613
00:23:39,869 --> 00:23:41,471
Well, I'm not even sure what the

614
00:23:41,471 --> 00:23:43,871
appropriate time frame is.

615
00:23:45,442 --> 00:23:46,977
If you want to bring this back,

616
00:23:46,977 --> 00:23:47,844
like, for -- do we need to bring

617
00:23:47,844 --> 00:23:49,479
it baing?

618
00:23:49,479 --> 00:23:51,140
I am going to -- today I am

619
00:23:51,140 --> 00:23:52,582
going to find proper notice and

620
00:23:52,582 --> 00:23:54,350
make a finding of violation, but

621
00:23:54,350 --> 00:23:55,485
I'm not sure, like I said at the

622
00:23:55,485 --> 00:23:56,787
beginning of this, SEPTEMBER 9

623
00:23:56,787 --> 00:23:59,787
is certainly not the appropriate

624
00:24:01,291 --> 00:24:03,291
compliance date.

625
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,228
>> so realistically to have the

626
00:24:05,228 --> 00:24:08,228
wall relocated, how much time

627
00:24:08,565 --> 00:24:09,733
would you need for that?

628
00:24:09,733 --> 00:24:13,770
At least to -- are you going to

629
00:24:13,770 --> 00:24:16,272
do it yourself or look to do it

630
00:24:16,272 --> 00:24:18,175
or hire someone?

631
00:24:18,175 --> 00:24:19,342
>> you're going to hire someone

632
00:24:19,342 --> 00:24:23,542
and you will need time for that

633
00:24:27,217 --> 00:24:29,452
and to get with someone.

634
00:24:29,452 --> 00:24:30,353
>> is this like 120 day kind of

635
00:24:30,353 --> 00:24:31,655
thing?

636
00:24:31,655 --> 00:24:35,855
>> that is what I am thinking in

637
00:24:36,930 --> 00:24:36,960
terms of a four-month period.

638
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,960
Into JANUARY.

639
00:24:38,995 --> 00:24:42,332
>> very busy back and forth to

640
00:24:42,332 --> 00:24:45,932
doctor with my husband and I.

641
00:24:46,903 --> 00:24:49,903
So we need some time.

642
00:24:50,774 --> 00:24:51,775
>> so I think the 120 days would

643
00:24:51,775 --> 00:24:52,976
be sufficient.

644
00:24:52,976 --> 00:24:53,877
If we get to that point and

645
00:24:53,877 --> 00:24:55,512
there is no movement, we can

646
00:24:55,512 --> 00:24:57,460
have a conversation with that.

647
00:24:57,460 --> 00:24:58,882
If you have hired a contractor

648
00:24:58,882 --> 00:24:59,482
but maybe don't have a specific

649
00:24:59,482 --> 00:25:01,170
date, we can work that out

650
00:25:01,170 --> 00:25:03,170
together.

651
00:25:03,530 --> 00:25:05,422
so it will give you enough time

652
00:25:05,422 --> 00:25:06,956
to at least secure a contractor

653
00:25:06,956 --> 00:25:07,824
and to have conversations with

654
00:25:07,824 --> 00:25:08,910
them to maybe schedule

655
00:25:08,910 --> 00:25:09,159
something.

656
00:25:09,159 --> 00:25:11,127
And then we can work offline

657
00:25:11,127 --> 00:25:13,563
with you guys in terms of if

658
00:25:13,563 --> 00:25:14,531
there is additional time

659
00:25:14,531 --> 00:25:15,732
depending on when the schedule

660
00:25:15,732 --> 00:25:19,932
and if we have a hurricane or

661
00:25:22,972 --> 00:25:24,972
something like that.

662
00:25:26,142 --> 00:25:28,110
>> the officer that came out

663
00:25:28,110 --> 00:25:30,110
said 2 feet back.

664
00:25:30,614 --> 00:25:31,481
>> yeah, we can work with you in

665
00:25:31,481 --> 00:25:34,684
terms of where the wall needs to

666
00:25:34,684 --> 00:25:36,219
be placed.

667
00:25:36,219 --> 00:25:39,819
We can have public works speak

668
00:25:40,157 --> 00:25:42,425
to you and show you specifically

669
00:25:42,425 --> 00:25:45,425
where the property line is.

670
00:25:46,997 --> 00:25:50,597
It is likely to be --

671
00:25:51,668 --> 00:25:52,200
right up against that landscaped

672
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,200
area.

673
00:26:02,312 --> 00:26:04,281
Give or take.

674
00:26:04,281 --> 00:26:05,782
>> that is not 2 feet, so we

675
00:26:05,782 --> 00:26:09,382
have to have another 2 feet or

676
00:26:10,987 --> 00:26:12,822
--

677
00:26:12,822 --> 00:26:14,900
>> we can work on the specific

678
00:26:14,900 --> 00:26:15,250
placement prior to you guys

679
00:26:15,250 --> 00:26:16,592
speaking to a contractor.

680
00:26:16,592 --> 00:26:19,629
We can have our staff and public

681
00:26:19,629 --> 00:26:21,640
works meet you at the property.

682
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,967
We can go over it specifically

683
00:26:23,967 --> 00:26:25,402
where the wall needs to be

684
00:26:25,402 --> 00:26:28,772
relocated to and get you the

685
00:26:28,772 --> 00:26:30,340
specific measurements, okay?

686
00:26:30,340 --> 00:26:30,841
>> that way that will give the

687
00:26:30,841 --> 00:26:32,841
contractor guidance.

688
00:26:36,379 --> 00:26:37,714
I'm going to put a four-month

689
00:26:37,714 --> 00:26:40,714
compliance dates on this, which

690
00:26:43,987 --> 00:26:44,187
is JANUARY 6 of 2027.

691
00:26:44,187 --> 00:26:44,454
Right?

692
00:26:44,454 --> 00:26:46,454
Yeah.

693
00:26:49,793 --> 00:26:52,280
It is not my intent in this case

694
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,628
to push this towards a situation

695
00:26:55,866 --> 00:26:56,990
where daily fines are start

696
00:26:56,990 --> 00:26:58,990
running.

697
00:26:58,135 --> 00:26:59,669
I want to see this succeed in

698
00:26:59,669 --> 00:27:00,837
getting fixed correctly.

699
00:27:00,837 --> 00:27:04,437
The important thing is to stay

700
00:27:05,108 --> 00:27:08,780
in touch with the city, with the

701
00:27:08,780 --> 00:27:10,780
code enforcement division.

702
00:27:11,114 --> 00:27:12,950
Have that meeting where they can

703
00:27:12,950 --> 00:27:14,117
show exactly where the wall

704
00:27:14,117 --> 00:27:17,487
needs to be placed in order to

705
00:27:17,487 --> 00:27:19,489
be in compliance with the city

706
00:27:19,489 --> 00:27:23,689
code and then stay in touch as

707
00:27:24,227 --> 00:27:27,227
you hire your contractor and

708
00:27:27,864 --> 00:27:28,198
assuming that will need to be

709
00:27:28,198 --> 00:27:30,198
permitted.

710
00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:31,768
>> so the decorative wall does

711
00:27:31,768 --> 00:27:32,535
not need to be permitted.

712
00:27:32,535 --> 00:27:33,470
It is just landscaping that

713
00:27:33,470 --> 00:27:35,470
we're discussing.

714
00:27:35,872 --> 00:27:37,374
>> that makes it a little easier

715
00:27:37,374 --> 00:27:38,608
if you don't have to deal with

716
00:27:38,608 --> 00:27:39,109
building permits and that sort

717
00:27:39,109 --> 00:27:40,344
of thing.

718
00:27:40,344 --> 00:27:41,444
>> it would just be a

719
00:27:41,444 --> 00:27:42,479
landscaping wall.

720
00:27:42,479 --> 00:27:44,479
>> okay.

721
00:27:44,714 --> 00:27:45,449
So the only other thing, MS.

722
00:27:45,449 --> 00:27:48,852
Brady, that I would tell you is

723
00:27:48,852 --> 00:27:50,353
if you are getting close to

724
00:27:50,353 --> 00:27:52,989
JANUARY and it doesn't look like

725
00:27:52,989 --> 00:27:54,491
it's going to be done in time,

726
00:27:54,491 --> 00:27:55,725
just, again, stay in touch.

727
00:27:55,725 --> 00:27:59,496
If you need to come back and ask

728
00:27:59,496 --> 00:28:00,897
for additional time, I will be

729
00:28:00,897 --> 00:28:02,799
happy to consider that.

730
00:28:02,799 --> 00:28:05,435
I will tell you the way I

731
00:28:05,435 --> 00:28:08,138
typically handle those sorts of

732
00:28:08,138 --> 00:28:10,240
things if I see good faith

733
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,808
effort on your behalf, I'm

734
00:28:11,808 --> 00:28:14,208
unlikely to deny that.

735
00:28:14,945 --> 00:28:17,948
If I see that nothing has

736
00:28:17,948 --> 00:28:18,682
happened and since today,

737
00:28:18,682 --> 00:28:20,682
probably not.

738
00:28:20,784 --> 00:28:23,720
So that's how I deal with that.

739
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,455
The city MAY work with you

740
00:28:25,455 --> 00:28:25,656
behind the scenes on timing as

741
00:28:25,656 --> 00:28:27,656
well.

742
00:28:27,724 --> 00:28:29,590
If this has to be brought back t

743
00:28:29,590 --> 00:28:32,659
city will f to provide notice

744
00:28:33,463 --> 00:28:35,164
and a new hearing date.

745
00:28:35,164 --> 00:28:36,967
So my hope is that it all just

746
00:28:36,967 --> 00:28:39,469
gets handled after today without

747
00:28:39,469 --> 00:28:41,438
having to have you come back.

748
00:28:41,438 --> 00:28:43,340
Is there anything else that you

749
00:28:43,340 --> 00:28:44,141
would like to tell me?

750
00:28:44,141 --> 00:28:47,741
Before I enter my orreder in

751
00:28:52,182 --> 00:28:52,950
this case?

752
00:28:52,950 --> 00:28:54,117
All right.

753
00:28:54,117 --> 00:28:56,653
Anything else from the city?

754
00:28:56,653 --> 00:28:59,220
>> we have proper notice.

755
00:28:59,220 --> 00:28:59,256
MS. Brady is present at today's

756
00:28:59,256 --> 00:29:00,924
hearing.

757
00:29:00,924 --> 00:29:01,758
Based on the testimony and the

758
00:29:01,758 --> 00:29:03,360
evidence, the property remains

759
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,728
in violation as cited.

760
00:29:04,728 --> 00:29:05,462

This case concerns the property

782
00:30:23,473 --> 00:30:24,308

784
00:30:27,177 --> 00:30:28,512
A violation hearing was held on

785
00:30:28,512 --> 00:30:30,113
JUNE 17, 2026.

786
00:30:30,113 --> 00:30:31,850
Based on the everyday presented

787
00:30:31,850 --> 00:30:32,749
on that date, the special

788
00:30:32,749 --> 00:30:34,510
magistrate found that the

789
00:30:34,510 --> 00:30:36,451
violations existed and ordered

790
00:30:38,550 --> 00:30:40,857
compliance be achieved by JULY

791
00:30:40,857 --> 00:30:42,857

792
00:30:42,893 --> 00:30:44,828
For the following violations.

793
00:30:44,828 --> 00:30:46,697

prohibited.

797
00:30:51,535 --> 00:30:53,700
Per neighborhood services

798
00:30:53,700 --> 00:30:55,700
department records, compliance

799
00:30:55,505 --> 00:30:57,307

as public record.

803
00:31:03,380 --> 00:31:04,114
The photos taken truly and

804
00:31:04,114 --> 00:31:06,514
accurately represent the scene

805
00:31:06,883 --> 00:31:07,417
as it appeared on the dates of

806
00:31:07,417 --> 00:31:09,417
the inspections.

807
00:31:09,619 --> 00:31:10,888
Due to the respondents failure

808
00:31:10,888 --> 00:31:13,157
to comply with the deadline set

809
00:31:13,157 --> 00:31:14,491
forth at the violation hearing,

810
00:31:14,491 --> 00:31:15,959
the city requests that the

811
00:31:15,959 --> 00:31:18,595

812
00:31:18,595 --> 00:31:19,697

00:31:36,913 --> 00:31:38,749
reasonable cost and

investigation of this case.

821
00:31:40,117 --> 00:31:41,285
That was the original door

822
00:31:41,285 --> 00:31:44,321
hanger back in FEBRUARY when the

823
00:31:44,321 --> 00:31:46,321
case was opened.

824
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,759
This is what is remaining is

825
00:31:48,759 --> 00:31:51,280
open storage in the backyard.

826
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:51,328

shutter rs and items behind the

832
00:32:10,981 --> 00:32:12,981
trash can.

833
00:32:17,488 --> 00:32:19,423
This is the trailer parked in

834
00:32:19,423 --> 00:32:20,924
the front of the home with item

835
00:32:20,924 --> 00:32:22,159
on it.

836
00:32:22,159 --> 00:32:23,293
>> has there been any

837
00:32:23,293 --> 00:32:24,394
improvement in circumstances

838
00:32:24,394 --> 00:32:25,610
since the JUNE violation

839
00:32:25,610 --> 00:32:26,697

840
00:32:26,697 --> 00:32:28,697
>> there has.

841
00:32:30,534 --> 00:32:32,335
There was another violation of

842
00:32:32,335 --> 00:32:34,271
inoperative vehicle and I

843
00:32:34,271 --> 00:32:34,705
believe the unregistered R.V. As

844
00:32:34,705 --> 00:32:35,706
well.

845
00:32:35,706 --> 00:32:36,373
Both of those have been taken

846
00:32:36,373 --> 00:32:38,373
care of.

847
00:32:38,842 --> 00:32:41,780
The only thing remaining now is

848
00:32:41,780 --> 00:32:41,445
the open storage.

849
00:32:41,445 --> 00:32:43,445
>> okay.

850
00:32:44,148 --> 00:32:45,615
Is there anything else you need

851
00:32:45,615 --> 00:32:46,783
to put into the record?

852
00:32:46,783 --> 00:32:47,551
>> no, sir.

853
00:32:47,551 --> 00:32:49,453

Do you swear or firm the

testimony you offer today is the

858
00:32:55,325 --> 00:32:56,727
truth and nothing but the truth?

>> thank you, MR. Grande.

863
00:33:01,431 --> 00:33:02,767
The floor is yours.

864
00:33:02,767 --> 00:33:03,967
If you have any questions, you

00:33:03,967 --> 00:33:05,435
MAY ask them, otherwise tell me

866
00:33:05,435 --> 00:33:06,437
about what's going on with the

867
00:33:06,437 --> 00:33:08,338
case.

868
00:33:08,338 --> 00:33:09,873
>> and if I get you a little

869
00:33:09,873 --> 00:33:12,873
closer to the microphone, that

870
00:33:13,644 --> 00:33:15,279

trash tomorrow.

873
00:33:20,170 --> 00:33:23,617
Tomorrow is the when they pick

874
00:33:24,855 --> 00:33:25,122
up bulk.

875
00:33:25,122 --> 00:33:27,122
>> okay.

876
00:33:29,193 --> 00:33:31,762
>> and I can do everything he

877
00:33:31,762 --> 00:33:32,462

By friday.

879
00:33:34,932 --> 00:33:37,234
>> I mean, what's been the

880
00:33:37,234 --> 00:33:38,769
holdup?

881
00:33:38,769 --> 00:33:41,372
This has been going on for -- I

882
00:33:41,372 --> 00:33:42,807
mean t hearing was in JUNE.

883
00:33:42,807 --> 00:33:45,750
That's been almost three months.

884
00:33:45,750 --> 00:33:47,912
There's been a lot of garbage

885
00:33:47,912 --> 00:33:48,780
pickup days between then and

886
00:33:48,780 --> 00:33:50,140
now.

887
00:33:50,140 --> 00:33:50,481
Why haven't -- what is the

888
00:33:50,481 --> 00:33:52,481
delay?

889
00:33:52,917 --> 00:33:55,786
>> bulk is only once a month,

890
00:33:55,786 --> 00:33:59,986
and I was fixing up inside the

891
00:34:01,458 --> 00:34:03,994
house so I have some stuff

892
00:34:03,994 --> 00:34:05,994
outside.

893
00:34:16,574 --> 00:34:18,574
Like furniture.

894
00:34:19,143 --> 00:34:22,813
>> so you are telling me is --

895
00:34:22,813 --> 00:34:24,815
>> what is covered is the

896
00:34:24,815 --> 00:34:26,617
barbecue, is that fine there?

897
00:34:26,617 --> 00:34:27,417
>> the grill can stay outside.

898
00:34:27,417 --> 00:34:29,119
>> right.

899
00:34:29,119 --> 00:34:31,119
>> everything else, yeah.

900
00:34:32,790 --> 00:34:35,790
>> well, here's what I'm going

901
00:34:42,933 --> 00:34:44,468
to do.

902
00:34:44,468 --> 00:34:46,102
>> an is there a way to

903
00:34:46,102 --> 00:34:47,938
structure the order by friday

904
00:34:47,938 --> 00:34:49,273
and if it's not in compliance by

905
00:34:49,273 --> 00:34:50,307
close of business, the fines

906
00:34:50,307 --> 00:34:51,608
start to accrue without bringing

907
00:34:51,608 --> 00:34:52,843
this back?

908
00:34:52,843 --> 00:34:53,444
>> it would be one of two

909
00:34:53,444 --> 00:34:55,444
options.

910
00:34:55,546 --> 00:34:58,915
The first is the continuance or

911
00:34:58,915 --> 00:35:00,417
the second we can hold the order

912
00:35:00,417 --> 00:35:01,785
before we -- once we give the

913
00:35:01,785 --> 00:35:04,255
fine, they prefer the lien.

914
00:35:04,255 --> 00:35:05,756
>> I prefer the latter.

915
00:35:05,756 --> 00:35:06,857
I am not interested in

916
00:35:06,857 --> 00:35:08,292
continuing this.

917
00:35:08,292 --> 00:35:11,292
There is no reason this

918
00:35:11,395 --> 00:35:13,795
shouldn't have been done.

919
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,837
This is getting rid of stuff.

920
00:35:19,837 --> 00:35:20,700
I am going to find proper

921
00:35:20,700 --> 00:35:22,700
notice.

922
00:35:22,773 --> 00:35:26,143
You are here at today's hearing.

923
00:35:26,143 --> 00:35:29,743
Property did not comply with the

924
00:35:30,647 --> 00:35:30,881
order from the JUNE 17 violation

925
00:35:30,881 --> 00:35:31,548
hearing.

926
00:35:31,548 --> 00:35:33,817
Compliance was not achieved by

927
00:35:33,817 --> 00:35:36,687
JULY 1, so I am going to certify

928
00:35:36,687 --> 00:35:36,887
the fine as requested by the

929
00:35:36,887 --> 00:35:38,887
city.

930
00:35:38,889 --> 00:35:40,924
I am going to direct the city to

931
00:35:40,924 --> 00:35:42,492
hold that order from being

932
00:35:42,492 --> 00:35:43,694
recorded as a lien and giver you

933
00:35:43,694 --> 00:35:43,961
until the end of the week, like

934
00:35:43,961 --> 00:35:45,961
you said.

935
00:35:46,630 --> 00:35:50,830
But if it's not in compliance by

936
00:35:51,340 --> 00:35:53,704
the end of the vehicle, then the

937
00:35:53,704 --> 00:35:55,639
fine is certified and you'll

938
00:35:55,639 --> 00:35:57,374
have in all likelihood a lien on

939
00:35:57,374 --> 00:35:59,810
your property which will accrue

940
00:35:59,810 --> 00:36:00,311
daily at $25 a day until it is

941
00:36:00,311 --> 00:36:01,945
cleaned up.

942
00:36:01,945 --> 00:36:04,381
So we'll do it that way.

943
00:36:04,381 --> 00:36:06,381
All right.

944
00:36:08,185 --> 00:36:08,385
Thank you very much for being

945
00:36:08,385 --> 00:36:10,385

>> one moment, sorry.

953
00:37:19,457 --> 00:37:20,758
Okay.

954
00:37:20,758 --> 00:37:21,258
Officer wise, I have been

955
00:37:21,258 --> 00:37:22,626
previously sworn.

956
00:37:22,626 --> 00:37:25,260
>> this case concerns the

957
00:37:25,362 --> 00:37:27,362

petunia avenue, port st. Lucie,

959
00:37:27,765 --> 00:37:29,765
florida.

960
00:37:30,834 --> 00:37:32,403
A violation hearing was held on

961
00:37:32,403 --> 00:37:33,838
JUNE 17, 2026.

962
00:37:33,838 --> 00:37:36,173
Based and the evidence presented

963
00:37:36,173 --> 00:37:37,608
and that date, the special

964
00:37:37,608 --> 00:37:38,542
magistrate found the violations

965
00:37:38,542 --> 00:37:40,942
existed and ordered compliance

966
00:37:41,445 --> 00:37:42,980
be achieved by JUNE 24, 2026 for

967
00:37:42,980 --> 00:37:44,980
the following violations.

968
00:37:50,821 --> 00:37:51,550
Section 41.08, subsectiona,

969
00:37:51,550 --> 00:37:51,755
alpha.

970
00:37:51,755 --> 00:37:52,690
Per neighborhood service

971
00:37:52,690 --> 00:37:54,690
department records, compliance

972
00:37:55,493 --> 00:37:57,610
was not achieved by JUNE 24,

973
00:37:57,610 --> 00:37:58,329

974
00:37:58,329 --> 00:38:01,232
maintains a copy of the entire

975
00:38:01,232 --> 00:38:04,232
case file as public record.

976
00:38:05,350 --> 00:38:07,972
The photos taken and truly and

977
00:38:07,972 --> 00:38:10,372
accurately represent the scene

978
00:38:11,942 --> 00:38:12,843
as it appeared on the dates of

979
00:38:12,843 --> 00:38:14,843
the inspection.

980
00:38:15,179 --> 00:38:16,480
The city requests that the

981
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,150
special magistrate impose a fine

982
00:38:19,150 --> 00:38:21,118
and order the respondent pay a

983
00:38:21,118 --> 00:38:24,622
fine in the amount of $25 per

984
00:38:24,622 --> 00:38:26,691
day up to a maximum of $50,000.

985
00:38:26,691 --> 00:38:29,691
Finally the city requests the

986
00:38:31,562 --> 00:38:32,129
respondent be ordered to pay the

987
00:38:32,129 --> 00:38:33,163
administrative cost in the

988
00:38:33,163 --> 00:38:33,898
amount of $411 representing

989
00:38:33,898 --> 00:38:36,298
reasonable cost of the

990
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,680
investigation and prosecution of

991
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:39,803
the case.

992
00:38:39,803 --> 00:38:42,803
>> NOVEMBER last year and the

993
00:38:45,109 --> 00:38:47,109
original door hanger.

994
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,115
This is the posting done two

995
00:38:51,115 --> 00:38:52,649
weeks ago on AUGUST 1 and this

996
00:38:52,649 --> 00:38:53,183
is as recently as last week on

997
00:38:53,183 --> 00:38:55,183
the 27th.

998
00:38:55,552 --> 00:38:56,120
This is the damaged driveway

999
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,120
area here.

1000
00:38:59,590 --> 00:39:02,760
And it's above the culvert pipe.

1001
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,160
the pipe being here.

1002
00:39:05,529 --> 00:39:08,529
This is all up here.

1003
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,636
Just different angles of it and

1004
00:39:12,636 --> 00:39:16,836
this is a little further up on

1005
00:39:17,474 --> 00:39:21,674
the left side up here and then

1006
00:39:23,447 --> 00:39:25,449
this is the front of the home.

1007
00:39:25,449 --> 00:39:26,884
We spoke with public works.

1008
00:39:26,884 --> 00:39:28,419
The culvert pipe is fine.

1009
00:39:28,419 --> 00:39:28,786
Doesn't need to be replaced or

1010
00:39:28,786 --> 00:39:30,120
anything.

1011
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,388
It's just the driveway that

1012
00:39:31,388 --> 00:39:33,788
needs to be repaired.

1013
00:39:35,459 --> 00:39:36,794
And with its location above the

1014
00:39:36,794 --> 00:39:38,280
pipe, I believe a permit would

1015
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,280
not be required.

1016
00:39:40,564 --> 00:39:43,564
>> that is all good news.

1017
00:39:45,937 --> 00:39:46,971
Has there been any change in the

1018
00:39:46,971 --> 00:39:49,371
circumstances since the JUNE 17

1019
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,208
violation hearing?

1020
00:39:51,208 --> 00:39:51,543
Has any forward progress been

1021
00:39:51,543 --> 00:39:52,710
made?

1022
00:39:52,710 --> 00:39:54,710
>> no, sir.

1023
00:39:56,130 --> 00:39:57,810
It's stayed pretty much the

1024
00:39:57,810 --> 00:39:57,348
same.

1025
00:39:57,348 --> 00:39:57,615
>> okay.

1026
00:39:57,615 --> 00:39:59,416
All right.

1027
00:39:59,416 --> 00:40:00,350
Anything else you need to put

1028
00:40:00,350 --> 00:40:01,840
into the record?

1029
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:02,920
>> not at this time.

1030
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,589
>> let me get you sworn in, sir,

1031
00:40:05,589 --> 00:40:06,900
and I'll be happy to hear from

1032
00:40:06,900 --> 00:40:06,824
you.

1033
00:40:06,824 --> 00:40:07,858
>> please raise your right hand.

1034
00:40:07,858 --> 00:40:08,893
Do you swear the testimony you

1035
00:40:08,893 --> 00:40:11,328
offer today is the truth and

1036
00:40:11,328 --> 00:40:13,197
nothing but the truth?

1037
00:40:13,197 --> 00:40:13,998
>> and please state your name

1038
00:40:13,998 --> 00:40:15,998

00:40:21,605 --> 00:40:22,507

1042
00:40:23,574 --> 00:40:25,750
about the case.

1043
00:40:25,750 --> 00:40:25,476
>> I need some more time to fix

1044
00:40:25,476 --> 00:40:26,877
it.

1045
00:40:26,877 --> 00:40:27,478
>> how much more time are you

1046
00:40:27,478 --> 00:40:28,546
fixing?

1047
00:40:28,546 --> 00:40:30,546
>> until JANUARY.

1048
00:40:30,781 --> 00:40:30,948
>> I need until JANUARY, yes,

1049
00:40:30,948 --> 00:40:32,948

>> I see.

1054
00:40:39,757 --> 00:40:40,958
>> I had another death in the

1055
00:40:40,958 --> 00:40:41,859
family yesterday as well.

1056
00:40:41,859 --> 00:40:43,859
>> oh goodness.

1057
00:40:45,950 --> 00:40:47,495
>> I lost my job.

1058
00:40:47,498 --> 00:40:49,167
I just got a job -- I am three

1059
00:40:49,167 --> 00:40:49,767
months behind my own payment on

1060
00:40:49,767 --> 00:40:51,767
my house.

1061
00:40:52,369 --> 00:40:54,471
What else can I tell you?

1062
00:40:54,471 --> 00:40:55,390
That's exactly where I am at

1063
00:40:55,390 --> 00:40:56,940
right now.

1064
00:40:56,940 --> 00:40:58,750
>> if I have to give you proof

1065
00:40:58,750 --> 00:40:59,309
of that, I can.

1066
00:40:59,309 --> 00:41:00,945
>> you paint the picture.

1067
00:41:00,945 --> 00:41:02,913
I understand.

1068
00:41:02,913 --> 00:41:04,415
>> does the city have any

1069
00:41:04,415 --> 00:41:05,316
objection to the compliance date

1070
00:41:05,316 --> 00:41:06,160
until JANUARY?

1071
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,418
>> no, sir.

1072
00:41:07,418 --> 00:41:08,850
>> nor do I.

1073
00:41:08,850 --> 00:41:10,855
I am happy to --

1074
00:41:10,855 --> 00:41:12,223
>> thank you.

1075
00:41:12,223 --> 00:41:14,492
>> I guess the process would be

1076
00:41:14,492 --> 00:41:15,893
to continue this hearing.

1077
00:41:15,893 --> 00:41:17,361
That how we would do that?

1078
00:41:17,361 --> 00:41:17,661
>> it would have to be a

1079
00:41:17,661 --> 00:41:19,661
continuance.

1080
00:41:20,464 --> 00:41:24,640
If we certify it -- yeah.

1081
00:41:30,341 --> 00:41:30,975
So we would continue it.

1082
00:41:30,975 --> 00:41:31,609
>> so I don't think we've -- I

1083
00:41:31,609 --> 00:41:33,430
don't think we've set the 2027

1084
00:41:33,430 --> 00:41:35,450
calendar yet, but if it's --

1085
00:41:35,450 --> 00:41:38,450
we'll make an educated guess

1086
00:41:38,249 --> 00:41:38,549
that it's going to be

1087
00:41:38,549 --> 00:41:39,650
wednesday's.

1088
00:41:39,650 --> 00:41:39,851
JANUARY 6 is the first wednesday

1089
00:41:39,851 --> 00:41:41,851
--

1090
00:41:41,919 --> 00:41:44,488
>> I would is an I the 13th.

1091
00:41:44,488 --> 00:41:45,456
>> JANUARY 13th is the second

1092
00:41:45,456 --> 00:41:47,856
wednesday of the month.

1093
00:41:48,625 --> 00:41:49,427
Why don't we set this for that.

1094
00:41:49,427 --> 00:41:50,261
That should be --

1095
00:41:50,261 --> 00:41:52,960
>> sounds good to me.

1096
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:53,664
I appreciate it.

1097
00:41:53,664 --> 00:41:54,765
>> we'll just continue this

1098
00:41:54,765 --> 00:41:56,600
until JANUARY 13.

1099
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,269
Hopefully by then you'll be done

1100
00:41:58,269 --> 00:41:58,903
and won't have to worry about

1101
00:41:58,903 --> 00:41:59,870
it?

1102
00:41:59,870 --> 00:42:00,838
>> all right.

1103
00:42:00,838 --> 00:42:02,139
That's it.

1104
00:42:02,139 --> 00:42:04,139
>> good luck, sir.

1105
00:42:06,244 --> 00:42:08,244

the property with a notice of

1138
00:43:37,435 --> 00:43:38,535
hearing.

1139
00:43:38,535 --> 00:43:39,904
The city requests that the

1140
00:43:39,904 --> 00:43:42,307
respondents be ordered to comply

1141
00:43:42,307 --> 00:43:44,609
by SEPTEMBER 3, 2026, and if not

1142
00:43:44,609 --> 00:43:45,843
in compliance by that date, a

1143
00:43:45,843 --> 00:43:47,478
hearing be held to determine a

1144
00:43:47,478 --> 00:43:48,579
fine to be imposed against the

1145
00:43:48,579 --> 00:43:50,579
subject property.

1146
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,383
In addition if the respondent

1147
00:43:53,383 --> 00:43:54,752
fail comply by SEPTEMBER 3,

1148
00:43:54,752 --> 00:43:55,386
2026, the city requests the

1149
00:43:55,386 --> 00:43:57,786
special magistrate authorize the

1150
00:43:59,290 --> 00:44:00,910
city pursuant to 162.085 florida

1151
00:44:00,910 --> 00:44:01,192
statute to enter upon the

1152
00:44:01,192 --> 00:44:02,393
property to bring the property

1153
00:44:02,393 --> 00:44:04,793
into compliance and specifically

1154
00:44:04,795 --> 00:44:06,263
to abate the unsecured pool by

1155
00:44:06,263 --> 00:44:07,665
securing it with a pool cover,

1156
00:44:07,665 --> 00:44:11,135
the cost of which will be

1157
00:44:11,135 --> 00:44:13,271
charged to the respondent at a

1158
00:44:13,271 --> 00:44:13,437
later hearing.

1159
00:44:13,437 --> 00:44:15,437
.

1160
00:44:15,573 --> 00:44:20,373
As you can see this is part of

1161
00:44:20,612 --> 00:44:20,778
the fence that is in disrepair.

1162
00:44:20,778 --> 00:44:22,130
.

1163
00:44:22,130 --> 00:44:22,480
>> that is one side holding up

1164
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,480
the fence there.

1165
00:44:24,982 --> 00:44:27,982
The fence is tied up.

1166
00:44:28,819 --> 00:44:33,190
That is the only way it's pretty

1167
00:44:37,610 --> 00:44:38,997
much being fixed.

1168
00:44:38,997 --> 00:44:41,432
This is behind the neighboring

1169
00:44:41,432 --> 00:44:44,350
property and it was fixed and

1170
00:44:44,350 --> 00:44:44,235
was tied up, so it's not being

1171
00:44:44,235 --> 00:44:46,235
fixed.

1172
00:44:46,270 --> 00:44:49,440
That is the front of the

1173
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,440
property.

1174
00:44:58,549 --> 00:45:00,510
Inoperative vehicle.

1175
00:45:00,510 --> 00:45:00,484
That is that inoperative

1176
00:45:00,484 --> 00:45:01,785
vehicle.

1177
00:45:01,785 --> 00:45:04,785
And that is tied together.

1178
00:45:07,792 --> 00:45:08,526
That is all I have, sir.

1179
00:45:08,526 --> 00:45:10,327
>> please raise your right hand.

1180
00:45:10,327 --> 00:45:11,362
Do you swear or affirm the

1181
00:45:11,362 --> 00:45:14,962
testimony you offer today is the

1182
00:45:15,990 --> 00:45:16,400
truth and nothing but the truth?

1183
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,400
>> I do.

1184
00:45:19,237 --> 00:45:19,570
>> please state your name for

1185
00:45:19,570 --> 00:45:20,972
the record.

1186
00:45:20,972 --> 00:45:23,808
>> the floor is yours for

1187
00:45:23,808 --> 00:45:24,275
questions or to tell me about

1188
00:45:24,275 --> 00:45:26,275
the case.

1189
00:45:28,179 --> 00:45:29,800
>> as far as the fence, I have

1190
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:30,615
contacted alligator fence

1191
00:45:30,615 --> 00:45:31,916
company to replace the fence.

1192
00:45:31,916 --> 00:45:34,285
I just need some time to get

1193
00:45:34,285 --> 00:45:35,850
that done, but I will replace

1194
00:45:35,850 --> 00:45:35,920
the entire fence.

1195
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,920
>> okay.

1196
00:45:39,524 --> 00:45:41,924
>> as for the inoperative

1197
00:45:42,727 --> 00:45:44,896
vehicle, I have been trying to

1198
00:45:44,896 --> 00:45:46,898
get rid of that.

1199
00:45:46,898 --> 00:45:47,665
My wife has a bit of an

1200
00:45:47,665 --> 00:45:49,434
emotional connection with the

1201
00:45:49,434 --> 00:45:49,767
truck because it is our first

1202
00:45:49,767 --> 00:45:51,336
lexus.

1203
00:45:51,336 --> 00:45:53,537
All three of our children were

1204
00:45:53,537 --> 00:45:53,771
taken home from the hospital in

1205
00:45:53,771 --> 00:45:55,139
it --

1206
00:45:55,139 --> 00:45:57,139
>> I see.

1207
00:45:57,675 --> 00:45:59,744
>> and when her mom died last

1208
00:45:59,744 --> 00:46:03,800
year, that truck was in front of

1209
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:04,282
her house.

1210
00:46:04,282 --> 00:46:05,817
Some drunk driver came up and

1211
00:46:05,817 --> 00:46:08,190
smashed the side of the truck.

1212
00:46:08,190 --> 00:46:08,653
It was operable for a little

1213
00:46:08,653 --> 00:46:09,854
bit, but because of the

1214
00:46:09,854 --> 00:46:11,880
collision and stuff, the

1215
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:12,323
transmission has gone out.

1216
00:46:12,323 --> 00:46:13,357
We have had it sitting in front

1217
00:46:13,357 --> 00:46:15,193
of the house.

1218
00:46:15,193 --> 00:46:17,161
I have tried numerous times to

1219
00:46:17,161 --> 00:46:18,960
get my wife to take the

1220
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:18,997
settlement and have them take

1221
00:46:18,997 --> 00:46:20,997
the car away.

1222
00:46:21,132 --> 00:46:21,999
And she's just having a really

1223
00:46:21,999 --> 00:46:24,399
hard time with that.

1224
00:46:24,769 --> 00:46:28,969
So it's been a lot of conflict,

1225
00:46:31,909 --> 00:46:33,244
so to speak.

1226
00:46:33,244 --> 00:46:35,130
I would have loved to have got

1227
00:46:35,130 --> 00:46:36,747
rid of the truck months ago, but

1228
00:46:36,747 --> 00:46:38,490
working with my wife to get that

1229
00:46:38,490 --> 00:46:39,283
taken care of.

1230
00:46:39,283 --> 00:46:41,419
Trying to convince her

1231
00:46:41,419 --> 00:46:44,419
especially with this hearing and

1232
00:46:45,189 --> 00:46:47,126
all that we need to get it done

1233
00:46:47,126 --> 00:46:48,392
despite her emotional

1234
00:46:48,392 --> 00:46:50,194
attachments to it.

1235
00:46:50,194 --> 00:46:51,896
But I'm just asking for a little

1236
00:46:51,896 --> 00:46:53,264
bit more time to take care of

1237
00:46:53,264 --> 00:46:55,266
the truck and convince my wife

1238
00:46:55,266 --> 00:46:58,266
to get rid of it.

1239
00:46:58,803 --> 00:47:00,338
>> yeah.

1240
00:47:00,338 --> 00:47:01,439
Honestly, the vehicle is not a

1241
00:47:01,439 --> 00:47:03,740
big concern of mine.

1242
00:47:03,740 --> 00:47:03,708
What is a big concern of mine is

1243
00:47:03,708 --> 00:47:05,708
the --

1244
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:07,778
>> the unsecured swimming pool.

1245
00:47:07,778 --> 00:47:09,414
>> I do have a pool fence.

1246
00:47:09,414 --> 00:47:11,916
Would bit okay if I put the

1247
00:47:11,916 --> 00:47:12,817
little pool fence up around the

1248
00:47:12,817 --> 00:47:14,817
pool --

1249
00:47:18,122 --> 00:47:19,390
>> let me see, MR. Armstrong.

1250
00:47:19,390 --> 00:47:19,824
>> one that we got with the

1251
00:47:19,824 --> 00:47:21,824
pool.

1252
00:47:22,327 --> 00:47:22,660
>> if so, definitely put that

1253
00:47:22,660 --> 00:47:23,728
in.

1254
00:47:23,728 --> 00:47:25,229
Let us know.

1255
00:47:25,229 --> 00:47:26,664
You would still be required to

1256
00:47:26,664 --> 00:47:27,765
repair the fence for sure.

1257
00:47:27,765 --> 00:47:28,432
>> we're definitely looking to

1258
00:47:28,432 --> 00:47:30,432
do that.

1259
00:47:30,568 --> 00:47:31,102
>> would you be able to do that

1260
00:47:31,102 --> 00:47:33,102
today?

1261
00:47:33,271 --> 00:47:34,405
How soon can you get that gate

1262
00:47:34,405 --> 00:47:36,240
installed --

1263
00:47:36,240 --> 00:47:37,742
>> I can put the pool fence up

1264
00:47:37,742 --> 00:47:38,420
probably after I get off work

1265
00:47:38,420 --> 00:47:40,420
today.

1266
00:47:40,244 --> 00:47:42,644
>> that would be fantastic.

1267
00:47:44,616 --> 00:47:45,983
Because I am -- if you get the

1268
00:47:45,983 --> 00:47:47,180
pool secured, that satisfies my

1269
00:47:47,180 --> 00:47:49,180
sense of urgency.

1270
00:47:49,254 --> 00:47:51,789
I am happy to give you time to

1271
00:47:51,789 --> 00:47:52,557
get the fence done and the

1272
00:47:52,557 --> 00:47:54,557
vehicle done.

1273
00:47:55,327 --> 00:47:55,993
As long as the pool is secured

1274
00:47:55,993 --> 00:47:57,495
right away.

1275
00:47:57,495 --> 00:47:58,930
>> how long would you need for

1276
00:47:58,930 --> 00:48:00,431
the fence?

1277
00:48:00,431 --> 00:48:02,400
>> I would think a month.

1278
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,803
I don't know what -- I've been

1279
00:48:05,803 --> 00:48:08,105
in touch with the -- basically

1280
00:48:08,105 --> 00:48:08,973
got an estimate on and I'm in

1281
00:48:08,973 --> 00:48:10,973
talks with it.

1282
00:48:11,750 --> 00:48:11,309
And I have to give the guy a

1283
00:48:11,309 --> 00:48:12,210
deposit.

1284
00:48:12,210 --> 00:48:14,445
I don't know what their time

1285
00:48:14,445 --> 00:48:14,612
frame to how soon they can do

1286
00:48:14,612 --> 00:48:16,314
it.

1287
00:48:16,314 --> 00:48:17,348
But I would think within the

1288
00:48:17,348 --> 00:48:18,750
next two months would be

1289
00:48:18,750 --> 00:48:20,750
reasonable.

1290
00:48:20,918 --> 00:48:22,387
>> and the same for the vehicle.

1291
00:48:22,387 --> 00:48:23,922
>> you could technically

1292
00:48:23,922 --> 00:48:26,922
register the vehicle if you

1293
00:48:27,759 --> 00:48:29,694
wanted to go that route, if --

1294
00:48:29,694 --> 00:48:33,431
it might cost you a lot less to

1295
00:48:33,431 --> 00:48:34,198
just put a tag on it and get it

1296
00:48:34,198 --> 00:48:34,832
registered than to, you know, go

1297
00:48:34,832 --> 00:48:36,832
that route.

1298
00:48:41,639 --> 00:48:44,750
So it's up to you, though.

1299
00:48:44,750 --> 00:48:47,712
>> I am trying to tell my wife

1300
00:48:47,712 --> 00:48:51,312
it's not helping us having it

1301
00:48:56,855 --> 00:48:58,855
there at all.

1302
00:48:59,223 --> 00:49:01,623
>> my thinking is this.

1303
00:49:03,270 --> 00:49:05,430
Again, because the pool is not

1304
00:49:05,430 --> 00:49:07,430
secured right now.

1305
00:49:07,932 --> 00:49:09,834
In terms of for the bifurcation,

1306
00:49:09,834 --> 00:49:14,634
can we -- is it easier to do

1307
00:49:19,430 --> 00:49:20,645
that, or is it easier for one?

1308
00:49:20,645 --> 00:49:22,313
If you can have it tonight, we

1309
00:49:22,313 --> 00:49:24,713
can inspect it tomorrow.

1310
00:49:25,450 --> 00:49:27,252
>> the pool?

1311
00:49:27,252 --> 00:49:29,188
>> yeah.

1312
00:49:29,188 --> 00:49:29,454
>> will you be available

1313
00:49:29,454 --> 00:49:31,256
tomorrow?

1314
00:49:31,256 --> 00:49:32,857
>> at the least, I can have the

1315
00:49:32,857 --> 00:49:33,240
fence open for them to inspect

1316
00:49:33,240 --> 00:49:35,240
it.

1317
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:35,760
>> if I have the fence up and

1318
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:36,761
ready.

1319
00:49:36,761 --> 00:49:38,761
The poo fence.

1320
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,330
>> yeah, I would prefer that.

1321
00:49:42,330 --> 00:49:43,701
Just so we can see it.

1322
00:49:43,701 --> 00:49:45,437
>> the neighbor in the back, and

1323
00:49:45,437 --> 00:49:47,572
le let me in the back.

1324
00:49:47,572 --> 00:49:47,905
I can see it from there if

1325
00:49:47,905 --> 00:49:48,907
possible.

1326
00:49:48,907 --> 00:49:50,375
And he's just concerned because

1327
00:49:50,375 --> 00:49:51,750
he has two kids that run around

1328
00:49:51,750 --> 00:49:53,750
the house.

1329
00:49:53,278 --> 00:49:54,379
That is why he wants to get this

1330
00:49:54,379 --> 00:49:54,645
taken care of as soon as

1331
00:49:54,645 --> 00:49:56,645
possible.

1332
00:49:58,316 --> 00:50:01,520
>> what if we retain the 24-hour

1333
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:02,530
for the secured pool.

1334
00:50:02,530 --> 00:50:03,454
We can inspect tomorrow and make

1335
00:50:03,454 --> 00:50:06,454
sure the pool is secure.

1336
00:50:08,293 --> 00:50:09,427
We can do 30 days on -- at least

1337
00:50:09,427 --> 00:50:09,894
to obtain a permit with the

1338
00:50:09,894 --> 00:50:11,629
fence.

1339
00:50:11,629 --> 00:50:12,664
>> if I do contract with them,

1340
00:50:12,664 --> 00:50:13,164
they will be dealing with the

1341
00:50:13,164 --> 00:50:15,100
permit.

1342
00:50:15,100 --> 00:50:17,680
>> they will deal with that.

1343
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,300
>> whatever company you hired.

1344
00:50:19,300 --> 00:50:21,105
If you produce some type of here

1345
00:50:21,105 --> 00:50:21,772
is my invoice and I pay them a

1346
00:50:21,772 --> 00:50:23,772
deposit or something.

1347
00:50:24,108 --> 00:50:27,645
We can use that to push the

1348
00:50:27,645 --> 00:50:29,814
fence off -- while the fence is

1349
00:50:29,814 --> 00:50:30,815
the concern, but the pool is the

1350
00:50:30,815 --> 00:50:32,815
number one concern.

1351
00:50:32,884 --> 00:50:34,152
if you can secure that in 24

1352
00:50:34,152 --> 00:50:35,787
hours, that would be ideal.

1353
00:50:35,787 --> 00:50:37,388
We will work offline with them.

1354
00:50:37,388 --> 00:50:39,824
And I think realistically, let's

1355
00:50:39,824 --> 00:50:42,460
say a30-day compliance for the

1356
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:44,860
fence and the inoperable

1357
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,664
vehicle, and that is just to

1358
00:50:50,902 --> 00:50:52,370
obtain a company or at least

1359
00:50:52,370 --> 00:50:53,904
some sort of communication.

1360
00:50:53,904 --> 00:50:54,906
>> it might take three months to

1361
00:50:54,906 --> 00:50:56,640
install the fence, but if you

1362
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:58,376
have that, we're not going to

1363
00:50:58,376 --> 00:50:59,843
move anything forward.

1364
00:50:59,843 --> 00:51:00,711
The pool is the top concern.

1365
00:51:00,711 --> 00:51:01,779
>> you understand what the city

1366
00:51:01,779 --> 00:51:02,280
is suggesting?

1367
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:03,682
>> yes.

1368
00:51:03,682 --> 00:51:04,716
>> sound like you are in

1369
00:51:04,716 --> 00:51:06,884
agreement with that as well.

1370
00:51:06,884 --> 00:51:08,286
>> yes, secure the pool and the

1371
00:51:08,286 --> 00:51:08,820
fence will get the ball rolling

1372
00:51:08,820 --> 00:51:09,220
on that.

1373
00:51:09,220 --> 00:51:10,388
Yes, sir.

1374
00:51:10,388 --> 00:51:13,291
>> is there anything else that

1375
00:51:13,291 --> 00:51:13,858
you would like to tell me, MR.

1376
00:51:13,858 --> 00:51:15,858
Nelson?

1377
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:17,960
>> awe no, sir.

1378
00:51:19,197 --> 00:51:21,432
Thank you for your time.

1379
00:51:21,432 --> 00:51:22,100
>> anything else from the city?

1380
00:51:22,100 --> 00:51:24,100
>> no, sir.

1381
00:51:25,237 --> 00:51:27,237
>> find proper notice.

1382
00:51:27,605 --> 00:51:28,373
The property remains in

1383
00:51:28,373 --> 00:51:30,373
violation as cited.

1384
00:51:32,744 --> 00:51:33,177
Do we need an abatement order on

1385
00:51:33,177 --> 00:51:34,712
this?

1386
00:51:34,712 --> 00:51:36,114
>> again, just for the sake of

1387
00:51:36,114 --> 00:51:39,714
if there is no communication and

1388
00:51:40,418 --> 00:51:41,619
nothing is done, I think we

1389
00:51:41,619 --> 00:51:43,255
would prefer

1390
00:51:43,255 --> 00:51:46,724
>> this is typically what I do

1391
00:51:46,724 --> 00:51:49,724
and a belt and suspender

1392
00:51:51,229 --> 00:51:51,997
approach because I have no

1393
00:51:51,997 --> 00:51:53,431
reason not to believe this is

1394
00:51:53,431 --> 00:51:56,201
going to be secured, but I am

1395
00:51:56,201 --> 00:51:57,635
going to make a finding that the

1396
00:51:57,635 --> 00:51:59,635
unsecured swimming pool

1397
00:51:59,704 --> 00:52:01,238
constitutes a threat to the

1398
00:52:01,238 --> 00:52:02,740
public health, safety and

1399
00:52:02,740 --> 00:52:05,677
welfare, so SEPTEMBER 3 as the

1400
00:52:05,677 --> 00:52:05,910
compliance date to have the pool

1401
00:52:05,910 --> 00:52:07,812
secured.

1402
00:52:07,812 --> 00:52:09,470
If that is not achieved, I am

1403
00:52:09,470 --> 00:52:10,810
authorizing the city to enter

1404
00:52:10,810 --> 00:52:11,115
the property, abate that

1405
00:52:11,115 --> 00:52:13,515
violation and assess those

1406
00:52:13,751 --> 00:52:14,853
costs, which means if it is not

1407
00:52:14,853 --> 00:52:19,530
secured -- if you don't do it

1408
00:52:20,325 --> 00:52:21,392
within the next 24 hours, the

1409
00:52:21,392 --> 00:52:23,940
city has the legal authority to

1410
00:52:23,940 --> 00:52:24,496
enter the property and secure it

1411
00:52:24,496 --> 00:52:27,332
themselves and typically that is

1412
00:52:27,332 --> 00:52:29,367
a cover that goes over the pool

1413
00:52:29,367 --> 00:52:31,336
and they will bill you for that.

1414
00:52:31,336 --> 00:52:34,505
So you don't want that to

1415
00:52:34,505 --> 00:52:35,239
happen, so get that pool barrier

1416
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:36,641
up.

1417
00:52:36,641 --> 00:52:40,841
And for the rest, 30 days to get

1418
00:52:41,446 --> 00:52:43,846
the inoperative vehicle complied

1419
00:52:47,385 --> 00:52:50,187
and get a contractor online, on

1420
00:52:50,187 --> 00:52:52,590
board to do the fence.

1421
00:52:52,590 --> 00:52:56,190
The fence doesn't have to be

1422
00:52:57,228 --> 00:52:57,562
done by then, but we want to see

1423
00:52:57,562 --> 00:52:58,930
a contractor.

1424
00:52:58,930 --> 00:52:59,764
The contractor order.

1425
00:52:59,764 --> 00:53:01,867
Thank you for being here.

1426
00:53:01,867 --> 00:53:03,135
Good luck.

1427
00:53:03,135 --> 00:53:05,135
>> thank you, sir.

1428
00:53:05,437 --> 00:53:07,437
>> thank you.

1429
00:53:19,184 --> 00:53:21,584
>> number 12, officer wise, case

1433
00:53:55,887 --> 00:53:58,189
>> go right to that podium.

1434
00:53:58,189 --> 00:54:00,240
>> code officer wise.

1435
00:54:00,240 --> 00:54:01,426
I have been previously sworn.

1436
00:54:01,426 --> 00:54:04,426
This case concerns the property

1437
00:54:05,290 --> 00:54:06,531
at 2266 southeast seafury lane,

1438
00:54:06,531 --> 00:54:08,133
port st. Lucie, florida.

1439
00:54:08,133 --> 00:54:09,334
On FEBRUARY 24, 2026, an

1440
00:54:09,334 --> 00:54:12,334
inspection was done and photos

1441
00:54:12,937 --> 00:54:14,390
taken showing the following

1442
00:54:14,390 --> 00:54:16,390
violations.

1443
00:54:17,675 --> 00:54:19,511

1445
00:54:21,813 --> 00:54:22,180

00:54:22,180 --> 00:54:24,180

00:54:26,651 --> 00:54:28,651
Section 158.211, storage or

1450
00:54:40,298 --> 00:54:42,298
prohibited.

1451
00:54:43,168 --> 00:54:45,568
>> 148.08, e as in echo,

1452
00:54:46,504 --> 00:54:47,405
exterior property areas,

1453
00:54:47,405 --> 00:54:49,405
inoperative vehicle.

1454
00:54:52,430 --> 00:54:53,745
Section 41.08g4, exterior

1455
00:54:53,745 --> 00:54:55,745
property areas, unmaintained

1456
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:01,840
swale liner.

1457
00:55:01,820 --> 00:55:03,555
The photos depict an accurate

1458
00:55:03,555 --> 00:55:06,555
representation of the photos at

1459
00:55:08,427 --> 00:55:09,627
the time they were taken.

1460
00:55:09,627 --> 00:55:11,162
The respondent had until MARCH

1461
00:55:11,162 --> 00:55:11,763
16, 2026 to bring the property

1462
00:55:11,763 --> 00:55:13,763
into compliance.

1463
00:55:15,100 --> 00:55:18,903
And so a notice of hearing was

1464
00:55:18,903 --> 00:55:19,270
furnished on JULY 3, 2026 by

1465
00:55:19,270 --> 00:55:21,270
certified mail.

1466
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:24,342
On JULY 31, 2026, proper service

1467
00:55:24,342 --> 00:55:25,443
was achieved by certified mail,

1468
00:55:25,443 --> 00:55:27,443
return receipt received.

1469
00:55:27,779 --> 00:55:28,480
The city requests the

1470
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,480
respondents lorraine sullivan

1471
00:55:31,783 --> 00:55:34,850
and gerald desmarais be ordered

1472
00:55:34,850 --> 00:55:35,920
to comply with the cited

1473
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:37,389
provisions of the city of port

1474
00:55:37,389 --> 00:55:38,823
st. Lucie code by SEPTEMBER 9,

1475
00:55:38,823 --> 00:55:41,930
2026, and if not in compliance

1476
00:55:41,930 --> 00:55:43,228
by that date, then a hearing be

1477
00:55:43,228 --> 00:55:45,596
held to determine a fine to be

1478
00:55:45,596 --> 00:55:46,297
imposed against the subject

1479
00:55:46,297 --> 00:55:48,297
property.

1480
00:55:52,303 --> 00:55:52,637
So this is the original door

1481
00:55:52,637 --> 00:55:54,637
hanger.

1482
00:55:56,140 --> 00:55:59,140
And this was last week.

1483
00:56:05,350 --> 00:56:08,487
This is the open storage, the

1484
00:56:08,487 --> 00:56:10,887
generator and more buckets.

1485
00:56:12,490 --> 00:56:13,425
This is part of the property,

1486
00:56:13,425 --> 00:56:14,559
maintenance, mildew and blight

1487
00:56:14,559 --> 00:56:16,600
on the side of the house.

1488
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,970
And more across the gutters on

1489
00:56:19,970 --> 00:56:19,297
the front and the sides of the

1490
00:56:19,297 --> 00:56:21,297
home.

1491
00:56:23,368 --> 00:56:24,703
Up here.

1492
00:56:24,703 --> 00:56:28,303
Here is another picture of the

1493
00:56:31,543 --> 00:56:31,777
open storage, gas cans, filters,

1494
00:56:31,777 --> 00:56:32,310
buckets.

1495
00:56:32,310 --> 00:56:34,310
Chipped paint.

1496
00:56:41,753 --> 00:56:44,753
And more mildew right here.

1497
00:56:46,625 --> 00:56:50,610
This jeep has an expired tag of

1498
00:56:50,610 --> 00:56:52,630
JUNE 2026 and the same with this

1499
00:56:52,630 --> 00:56:55,663
vehicle here, an expired tag of

1500
00:56:56,768 --> 00:56:58,768
APRIL 2026.

1501
00:56:59,104 --> 00:57:02,704
this is the cracked driveway and

1502
00:57:04,342 --> 00:57:05,444
with it down, it creates a

1503
00:57:05,444 --> 00:57:07,444
hazard.

1504
00:57:09,914 --> 00:57:11,983
This is the unmaintained swale

1505
00:57:11,983 --> 00:57:15,520
line we are the dirt and debris

1506
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,890
that needs to be cleaned out.

1507
00:57:18,890 --> 00:57:19,190
And we had public works check

1508
00:57:19,190 --> 00:57:20,559
the culvert pipe.

1509
00:57:20,559 --> 00:57:22,494
There are no issues with that.

1510
00:57:22,494 --> 00:57:24,162
So when it comes to the repair,

1511
00:57:24,162 --> 00:57:27,332
it is the driveway repair closer

1512
00:57:27,332 --> 00:57:29,468
to the house and then the track

1513
00:57:29,468 --> 00:57:31,350
there and then all the debris

1514
00:57:31,350 --> 00:57:34,635
into the swale liners that need

1515
00:57:42,681 --> 00:57:44,516
to be cleaned out.

1516
00:57:44,516 --> 00:57:46,918
>> does the driveway, is that

1517
00:57:46,918 --> 00:57:48,153
something that can just get

1518
00:57:48,153 --> 00:57:50,153
fixed?

1519
00:57:52,824 --> 00:57:55,760
Is that a permit situation?

1520
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:56,795
>> this portion up here, I

1521
00:57:56,795 --> 00:57:57,963
believe you don't need a permit

1522
00:57:57,963 --> 00:57:59,963
to do that.

1523
00:58:00,298 --> 00:58:02,698
>> doesn't look like there's

1524
00:58:03,435 --> 00:58:06,204
anything in this case that would

1525
00:58:06,204 --> 00:58:07,672
require a building departments

1526
00:58:07,672 --> 00:58:09,607
permit or anything like that.

1527
00:58:09,607 --> 00:58:10,675
>> anything else you need to put

1528
00:58:10,675 --> 00:58:14,112
into the record at this time?

1529
00:58:14,112 --> 00:58:16,882
>> not at this time, no.

1530
00:58:16,882 --> 00:58:18,882
>> good morning, man.

1531
00:58:19,150 --> 00:58:20,652
>> do you swear or affirm the

1532
00:58:20,652 --> 00:58:21,820
testimony you offer today is the

1533
00:58:21,820 --> 00:58:23,856
truth and nothing but the truth?

1534
00:58:23,856 --> 00:58:24,589
>> absolutely, yes.

1535
00:58:24,589 --> 00:58:26,291
>> please state your name for

1536
00:58:26,291 --> 00:58:28,291
the record.

1537
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:29,828
>> lorraine sullivan.

1538
00:58:29,828 --> 00:58:31,290
>> the floor is yours for

1539
00:58:31,290 --> 00:58:31,863
questions or tell me about what

1540
00:58:31,863 --> 00:58:32,130
is going on.

1541
00:58:32,130 --> 00:58:33,365
>> sure.

1542
00:58:33,365 --> 00:58:34,299
I have a lot to say.

1543
00:58:34,299 --> 00:58:36,299
>> okay.

1544
00:58:36,301 --> 00:58:37,769
>> and bear with me because I

1545
00:58:37,769 --> 00:58:39,804
only have one eye here.

1546
00:58:39,804 --> 00:58:40,839
>> if I can get you as close to

1547
00:58:40,839 --> 00:58:41,873
the microphone, that will help

1548
00:58:41,873 --> 00:58:43,174
me hear you.

1549
00:58:43,174 --> 00:58:45,174
>> I'm sorry.

1550
00:58:46,645 --> 00:58:48,645
>> you're good.

1551
00:58:51,116 --> 00:58:55,316
>> so I guess as far as the

1552
00:58:57,422 --> 00:58:59,324
start, the swale, I did pay my

1553
00:58:59,324 --> 00:59:00,959
landscaper $50 right after -- he

1554
00:59:00,959 --> 00:59:04,559
works for the city as well.

1555
00:59:04,663 --> 00:59:07,980
>> so that can be proved.

1556
00:59:07,980 --> 00:59:09,000
And he took the sand back and

1557
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:10,635
dumped it into the backyard.

1558
00:59:10,635 --> 00:59:12,538
>> that's been cleaned out?

1559
00:59:12,538 --> 00:59:14,239
>> well, and then I had -- I

1560
00:59:14,239 --> 00:59:16,239
have pictures.

1561
00:59:16,675 --> 00:59:18,377
At&t fiber optic came along and

1562
00:59:18,377 --> 00:59:22,140
tore up my whole front yard if

1563
00:59:22,140 --> 00:59:24,683
you want to see the pictures.

1564
00:59:24,683 --> 00:59:25,117
And actually broke my sewer main

1565
00:59:25,117 --> 00:59:26,151
line.

1566
00:59:26,151 --> 00:59:29,751
You can see where the swales

1567
00:59:30,522 --> 00:59:32,791
were cleaned, and I told them

1568
00:59:32,791 --> 00:59:33,859
make sure you clean them because

1569
00:59:33,859 --> 00:59:36,161
I just paid to have them done.

1570
00:59:36,161 --> 00:59:37,362
What appears to be happening, I

1571
00:59:37,362 --> 00:59:40,362
inspected my whole front yard,

1572
00:59:40,732 --> 00:59:42,501
there is a lot of sand in it.

1573
00:59:42,501 --> 00:59:43,968
>> like loose -- I'm not a

1574
00:59:43,968 --> 00:59:45,437
floridian, but you know what I'm

1575
00:59:45,437 --> 00:59:47,239
talking about throughout the

1576
00:59:47,239 --> 00:59:49,239
yard.

1577
00:59:51,900 --> 00:59:52,711
It is sliding down.

1578
00:59:52,711 --> 00:59:53,912
I did clean and it pulled out

1579
00:59:53,912 --> 00:59:55,912
some last night.

1580
00:59:57,149 --> 00:59:57,449
I am -- so that's the situation

1581
00:59:57,449 --> 00:59:59,449
with that.

1582
01:00:01,186 --> 01:00:01,920
My landscaper, I will -- he will

1583
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:05,520
be continuing to help me with

1584
01:00:07,459 --> 01:00:09,459
that.

1585
01:00:10,762 --> 01:00:12,397
>> the neighbor has a cracked

1586
01:00:12,397 --> 01:00:13,832
liner and that is affecting a

1587
01:00:13,832 --> 01:00:15,167
little bit of it.

1588
01:00:15,167 --> 01:00:15,734
So I have asked them to fix

1589
01:00:15,734 --> 01:00:17,734
that.

1590
01:00:22,941 --> 01:00:25,941
And it's not fixed yet.

1591
01:00:25,944 --> 01:00:26,978
>> I am on that.

1592
01:00:26,978 --> 01:00:29,514
I can't control mother nature --

1593
01:00:29,514 --> 01:00:31,850
the wall looked like a great

1594
01:00:31,850 --> 01:00:32,851
idea, but now I know that is not

1595
01:00:32,851 --> 01:00:35,251
on the other house.

1596
01:00:40,492 --> 01:00:42,361
As far as the attic, that is not

1597
01:00:42,361 --> 01:00:45,731
wood rot and I have been paying

1598
01:00:45,731 --> 01:00:47,866
$100 a month for a painter

1599
01:00:47,866 --> 01:00:49,866
coming DECEMBER.

1600
01:00:52,470 --> 01:00:53,438
Jackie mentales contracted.

1601
01:00:53,438 --> 01:00:55,574
we have to make payments --

1602
01:00:55,574 --> 01:00:56,608
>> what is going to get painted?

1603
01:00:56,608 --> 01:00:57,842
>> the whole house.

1604
01:00:57,842 --> 01:00:58,676
>> that is in DECEMBER?

1605
01:00:58,676 --> 01:00:59,611
>> yes.

1606
01:00:59,611 --> 01:01:01,446
>> we have been making payments

1607
01:01:01,446 --> 01:01:02,380
because we can't afford it up

1608
01:01:02,380 --> 01:01:03,215
front.

1609
01:01:03,215 --> 01:01:04,549
>> okay.

1610
01:01:04,549 --> 01:01:08,149
>> as far as the car, they're

1611
01:01:10,656 --> 01:01:11,323
both legal and running.

1612
01:01:11,323 --> 01:01:12,724
>> I have proof of that --

1613
01:01:12,724 --> 01:01:14,393
>> are the registrations up to

1614
01:01:14,393 --> 01:01:15,994
date now?

1615
01:01:15,994 --> 01:01:17,994
>> absolutely, 100%.

1616
01:01:19,310 --> 01:01:21,833
>> if I forgot to put the jeep

1617
01:01:21,833 --> 01:01:23,602
sticker on, I swore I did.

1618
01:01:23,602 --> 01:01:24,202
But I will get to why I might

1619
01:01:24,202 --> 01:01:25,370
have forgotten.

1620
01:01:25,370 --> 01:01:27,370
>> okay.

1621
01:01:27,172 --> 01:01:30,772
>> I will tell you, usually when

1622
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:32,911
I see these kind of expired

1623
01:01:32,911 --> 01:01:33,780
registration, they are years

1624
01:01:33,780 --> 01:01:34,346
old.

1625
01:01:34,346 --> 01:01:36,615
Admittedly t one was JUNE and

1626
01:01:36,615 --> 01:01:37,349
one was APRIL of this year, so

1627
01:01:37,349 --> 01:01:39,117
they were --

1628
01:01:39,117 --> 01:01:41,153
>> both of these cars are fully

1629
01:01:41,153 --> 01:01:42,200
insured and fully registered.

1630
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,200
>> okay.

1631
01:01:45,123 --> 01:01:48,960
>> and have been to D.M.V.

1632
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:50,329
Probably five times in the past

1633
01:01:50,329 --> 01:01:50,595
couple of months because of my

1634
01:01:50,595 --> 01:01:52,595
eye.

1635
01:01:54,133 --> 01:01:58,203
I had to be issued a permit and

1636
01:01:58,203 --> 01:01:58,904
had to pass a test, so they're

1637
01:01:58,904 --> 01:02:00,105
completely legal.

1638
01:02:00,105 --> 01:02:02,105
>> okay.

1639
01:02:06,770 --> 01:02:07,179
>> so then on to the generator,

1640
01:02:07,179 --> 01:02:08,447
everything in front of the house

1641
01:02:08,447 --> 01:02:10,447
is moved.

1642
01:02:11,717 --> 01:02:13,719
The generator, it's been on

1643
01:02:13,719 --> 01:02:17,220
record it caused gas and almost

1644
01:02:17,220 --> 01:02:18,323
fire in my garage.

1645
01:02:18,323 --> 01:02:21,923
We're waiting to -- it's gone

1646
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:22,494
off the driveway and gone off

1647
01:02:22,494 --> 01:02:24,494
the residence.

1648
01:02:24,763 --> 01:02:26,131
It was a fire hazard.

1649
01:02:26,131 --> 01:02:29,234
And the fire department a year

1650
01:02:29,234 --> 01:02:31,234
ago confirmed that.

1651
01:02:32,704 --> 01:02:33,438
as far as the side of the house,

1652
01:02:33,438 --> 01:02:34,740
the mildew --

1653
01:02:34,740 --> 01:02:36,441
>> yeah.

1654
01:02:36,441 --> 01:02:37,877
>> I tried to hand scrub it and

1655
01:02:37,877 --> 01:02:39,678
with my hose, which is all still

1656
01:02:39,678 --> 01:02:40,120
sitting out there if you want to

1657
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,120
go look.

1658
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:43,482
I did order something called 30

1659
01:02:43,482 --> 01:02:45,482
cleaner.

1660
01:02:49,421 --> 01:02:51,890
That is the best I can do.

1661
01:02:51,890 --> 01:02:53,258
My painter said the best thing

1662
01:02:53,258 --> 01:02:56,662
would be the power wash and then

1663
01:02:56,662 --> 01:02:58,897
the painting, but I have been

1664
01:02:58,897 --> 01:03:00,966
out there in the heat.

1665
01:03:00,966 --> 01:03:02,200
>> when the painters come in

1666
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:03,135
DECEMBER, that should get taken

1667
01:03:03,135 --> 01:03:04,903
care of --

1668
01:03:04,903 --> 01:03:06,939
>> I wanted to let you know I

1669
01:03:06,939 --> 01:03:08,540
was out there and my neighbor

1670
01:03:08,540 --> 01:03:09,441
saw he scrubbing.

1671
01:03:09,441 --> 01:03:11,841
What are you doing?

1672
01:03:12,311 --> 01:03:14,311
With the strub.

1673
01:03:21,453 --> 01:03:23,255
So the cars, my pool cage is a

1674
01:03:23,255 --> 01:03:24,623
peck which you are that was

1675
01:03:24,623 --> 01:03:26,925
taken that is zoomed in and is

1676
01:03:26,925 --> 01:03:28,494
not mildew.

1677
01:03:28,494 --> 01:03:32,197
The bottom of the pool cage had

1678
01:03:32,197 --> 01:03:33,699
a film on it from the ultra

1679
01:03:33,699 --> 01:03:35,100
sunlight and is faded out.

1680
01:03:35,100 --> 01:03:36,435
Do you know what I am saying?

1681
01:03:36,435 --> 01:03:37,236
>> I know exactly what you are

1682
01:03:37,236 --> 01:03:39,236
talking about.

1683
01:03:39,972 --> 01:03:40,639
>> it looks darker, but it is

1684
01:03:40,639 --> 01:03:41,440
pure screen now.

1685
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:42,508
It is see through.

1686
01:03:42,508 --> 01:03:44,477
It doesn't have that -- and that

1687
01:03:44,477 --> 01:03:48,770
is many screens that happens to.

1688
01:03:48,781 --> 01:03:51,781
It is not dirty whatsoever.

1689
01:03:52,418 --> 01:03:56,180
So my pool is maintained by

1690
01:03:56,588 --> 01:03:58,588
puddle pool.

1691
01:03:59,658 --> 01:04:01,427
And it is

1692
01:04:01,427 --> 01:04:03,427
immaculate.

1693
01:04:03,996 --> 01:04:05,300
We recently did the pool

1694
01:04:05,300 --> 01:04:08,300
mechanics filter area might look

1695
01:04:08,734 --> 01:04:12,934
on a certain day a little messy.

1696
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:14,773
We did have to replace every

1697
01:04:14,773 --> 01:04:16,441
single park because we were

1698
01:04:16,441 --> 01:04:16,742
afraid we had a leak

1699
01:04:16,742 --> 01:04:18,742
underground.

1700
01:04:19,812 --> 01:04:21,179
Puddle pool helped us with that

1701
01:04:21,179 --> 01:04:22,648
to replace the main cage, the

1702
01:04:22,648 --> 01:04:23,582
pump, and we don't have an

1703
01:04:23,582 --> 01:04:25,582
underground leak.

1704
01:04:26,518 --> 01:04:29,540
>> that is good news, yeahs.

1705
01:04:29,540 --> 01:04:32,654
There is -- it's perfectly clean

1706
01:04:33,425 --> 01:04:35,825
over there right now.

1707
01:04:35,928 --> 01:04:37,729
>> now, I was here in FEBRUARY

1708
01:04:37,729 --> 01:04:38,730
speaking to someone explaining

1709
01:04:38,730 --> 01:04:40,730
my situation.

1710
01:04:43,369 --> 01:04:45,604
And then obviously we know that

1711
01:04:45,604 --> 01:04:50,642
-- and we all deal with it and I

1712
01:04:50,642 --> 01:04:54,242
have the utmost respect for all

1713
01:04:57,490 --> 01:04:58,417
of you, your honor.

1714
01:04:58,417 --> 01:05:01,220
The heat, I have a heart

1715
01:05:01,220 --> 01:05:02,788
condition, I have a widow maker.

1716
01:05:02,788 --> 01:05:04,623
Ic not be out this -- I cannot

1717
01:05:04,623 --> 01:05:06,358
be out in the heat this week.

1718
01:05:06,358 --> 01:05:07,192
I have been this week, and I am

1719
01:05:07,192 --> 01:05:08,626
paying the price.

1720
01:05:08,626 --> 01:05:09,428
Since FEBRUARY, it has been a

1721
01:05:09,428 --> 01:05:11,428
while, yes.

1722
01:05:12,231 --> 01:05:15,401
I have had three eye surge ris.

1723
01:05:15,401 --> 01:05:16,368
I can give you all this

1724
01:05:16,368 --> 01:05:18,768
documentation with each eye

1725
01:05:22,474 --> 01:05:24,443
surgery at baskin palmer

1726
01:05:24,443 --> 01:05:26,345
institute and from organ donors

1727
01:05:26,345 --> 01:05:29,345
and strict instructions not to

1728
01:05:29,481 --> 01:05:32,818
bend or be in the glare.

1729
01:05:32,818 --> 01:05:34,487
And this is quite a financial

1730
01:05:34,487 --> 01:05:35,821
burden to save my eyesight.

1731
01:05:35,821 --> 01:05:36,889
>> I have no reason to not take

1732
01:05:36,889 --> 01:05:38,900
your word for that.

1733
01:05:38,900 --> 01:05:41,794
I don't want to take the -- I

1734
01:05:41,794 --> 01:05:42,260
don't want to make those public

1735
01:05:42,260 --> 01:05:43,629
record.

1736
01:05:43,629 --> 01:05:44,830
>> I didn't want you to think I

1737
01:05:44,830 --> 01:05:46,265
was being lazy.

1738
01:05:46,265 --> 01:05:47,767
>> I understand.

1739
01:05:47,767 --> 01:05:50,767
>> when brandon did first come

1740
01:05:52,700 --> 01:05:53,605
out, or second, whatever, I was

1741
01:05:53,605 --> 01:05:55,107
in the bedroom and the windows

1742
01:05:55,107 --> 01:05:57,442
are close to the driveway.

1743
01:05:57,442 --> 01:05:59,311
I saw on my camera someone I

1744
01:05:59,311 --> 01:06:01,347
didn't recognize and I panicked.

1745
01:06:01,347 --> 01:06:03,215
I have been in a situation where

1746
01:06:03,215 --> 01:06:03,415
that would make me panic in my

1747
01:06:03,415 --> 01:06:05,415
past.

1748
01:06:05,684 --> 01:06:06,985
I told my husband to go outside.

1749
01:06:06,985 --> 01:06:08,720
My husband did -- we have

1750
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,720
cameras all over our house.

1751
01:06:12,224 --> 01:06:15,360
so some of these pictures were

1752
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:17,950
taken on our property.

1753
01:06:17,950 --> 01:06:18,764
My husband did get loud with

1754
01:06:18,764 --> 01:06:21,867
brandon and for that he did go

1755
01:06:21,867 --> 01:06:23,602
back and apologize.

1756
01:06:23,602 --> 01:06:25,170
I don't condone that, but the

1757
01:06:25,170 --> 01:06:28,170
way the whole situation inside

1758
01:06:29,341 --> 01:06:32,941
the house went, there's a before

1759
01:06:33,112 --> 01:06:34,680
-- it was wrong, but I had fired

1760
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:36,549
him up.

1761
01:06:36,549 --> 01:06:37,917
He does feel like we have been a

1762
01:06:37,917 --> 01:06:38,951
little bit targeted.

1763
01:06:38,951 --> 01:06:42,551
And I am just saying that

1764
01:06:43,656 --> 01:06:46,580
because it's my right to because

1765
01:06:46,580 --> 01:06:49,580
I have walked the neighborhood.

1766
01:06:49,995 --> 01:06:52,664
And adjoining, two side streets

1767
01:06:52,664 --> 01:06:56,264
and another street and I have 78

1768
01:06:56,736 --> 01:06:58,304
houses here, over 200 pictures

1769
01:06:58,304 --> 01:06:58,737
of violations worse than mine

1770
01:06:58,737 --> 01:07:00,472
and atrocious.

1771
01:07:00,472 --> 01:07:02,241
All colored pictures.

1772
01:07:02,241 --> 01:07:06,441
Pand right next door to me two

1773
01:07:07,679 --> 01:07:10,679
houses down, five houses down,

1774
01:07:11,117 --> 01:07:12,184
so when on my cameras I see code

1775
01:07:12,184 --> 01:07:13,452
enforcement drive by my house

1776
01:07:13,452 --> 01:07:14,920
and -- you know what I'm saying?

1777
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:16,121
I am not trying to complain.

1778
01:07:16,121 --> 01:07:16,489
>> I understand what you are

1779
01:07:16,489 --> 01:07:18,257
saying.

1780
01:07:18,257 --> 01:07:20,526
>> it just feeling -- this is

1781
01:07:20,526 --> 01:07:20,959
all legitimate time stamped

1782
01:07:20,959 --> 01:07:22,959
pictures.

1783
01:07:23,595 --> 01:07:25,595
>> I get it.

1784
01:07:27,700 --> 01:07:29,768
My response to you on that topic

1785
01:07:29,768 --> 01:07:30,969
would be that -- and I sit up

1786
01:07:30,969 --> 01:07:34,569
here at least twice a month,

1787
01:07:37,242 --> 01:07:40,242
sometimes three times a month.

1788
01:07:40,746 --> 01:07:41,814
With -- typical agenda has 50

1789
01:07:41,814 --> 01:07:43,814
cases on it.

1790
01:07:43,816 --> 01:07:43,983
And usually none of them are

1791
01:07:43,983 --> 01:07:45,983
you.

1792
01:07:47,753 --> 01:07:50,455
So my point is, the code

1793
01:07:50,455 --> 01:07:52,258
enforcement is out there -- it

1794
01:07:52,258 --> 01:07:54,526
is entirely likely that the

1795
01:07:54,526 --> 01:07:56,729
cases -- the violations that

1796
01:07:56,729 --> 01:07:59,129
you're seeing in photographing

1797
01:08:00,666 --> 01:08:02,134
and MAY have case numbers and I

1798
01:08:02,134 --> 01:08:05,134
have them in the pipeline.

1799
01:08:05,437 --> 01:08:07,940
>> a few MAY, yes, and some of

1800
01:08:07,940 --> 01:08:09,308
these people have told me they

1801
01:08:09,308 --> 01:08:10,142
would be witnesses.

1802
01:08:10,142 --> 01:08:11,410
They haven't.

1803
01:08:11,410 --> 01:08:13,120
And because they feel bad.

1804
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:16,120
They know I try hard.

1805
01:08:18,317 --> 01:08:19,218
They see me in the yard

1806
01:08:19,218 --> 01:08:19,385
struggling.

1807
01:08:19,385 --> 01:08:20,886
>>

1808
01:08:20,886 --> 01:08:23,886
>> I can tell you care.

1809
01:08:24,991 --> 01:08:26,559
>> I am trying my best.

1810
01:08:26,559 --> 01:08:28,127
Mu help is not with me on that,

1811
01:08:28,127 --> 01:08:30,527
but I am trying.

1812
01:08:31,530 --> 01:08:32,970
>> as far as the driveway, yes,

1813
01:08:32,970 --> 01:08:34,970
it is cracked.

1814
01:08:35,502 --> 01:08:35,768
It is not -- it's obviously a

1815
01:08:35,768 --> 01:08:36,435
violation.

1816
01:08:36,435 --> 01:08:38,404
>> do you think you could have

1817
01:08:38,404 --> 01:08:39,938
that taken care of by the time

1818
01:08:39,938 --> 01:08:42,274
the house gets painted?

1819
01:08:42,274 --> 01:08:45,274
>> I am saying definitely --

1820
01:08:45,411 --> 01:08:46,912
that's a lot because I am on

1821
01:08:46,912 --> 01:08:48,912
ssd.

1822
01:08:49,415 --> 01:08:50,849
So I have a fixed income.

1823
01:08:50,849 --> 01:08:53,850
So that's why we have had -- and

1824
01:08:53,850 --> 01:08:56,121
I can't just go to a credit card

1825
01:08:56,121 --> 01:08:58,590
and -- you know what I am

1826
01:08:58,590 --> 01:09:00,590
saying?

1827
01:09:02,361 --> 01:09:04,129
My husband's paycheck goes

1828
01:09:04,129 --> 01:09:07,129
directly to pay the bills.

1829
01:09:08,634 --> 01:09:09,768
I worked all my life and got

1830
01:09:09,768 --> 01:09:11,303
injured.

1831
01:09:11,303 --> 01:09:12,671
I have a government -- you know

1832
01:09:12,671 --> 01:09:14,173
what I'm say.

1833
01:09:14,173 --> 01:09:15,608
Finances -- we are constantly

1834
01:09:15,608 --> 01:09:18,800
fixing something, but it's

1835
01:09:24,350 --> 01:09:26,352
always one thing at a time.

1836
01:09:26,352 --> 01:09:29,955
Awe one of the guys might drive

1837
01:09:29,955 --> 01:09:31,690
by and see a big mess, but it's

1838
01:09:31,690 --> 01:09:32,825
a work in progress, so it's hard

1839
01:09:32,825 --> 01:09:34,825
on both sides.

1840
01:09:35,661 --> 01:09:38,970
There is a project and they are

1841
01:09:38,970 --> 01:09:39,999
seeing a mess and all this --

1842
01:09:39,999 --> 01:09:41,901
>> the joyce of home ownership

1843
01:09:41,901 --> 01:09:42,101
-- the joys of home ownership,

1844
01:09:42,101 --> 01:09:42,467
right?

1845
01:09:42,467 --> 01:09:43,903
I understand.

1846
01:09:43,903 --> 01:09:45,471
>> we're trying.

1847
01:09:45,471 --> 01:09:47,173
>> does the city have any

1848
01:09:47,173 --> 01:09:48,240
objection to setting a late

1849
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:49,441
DECEMBER compliance date for all

1850
01:09:49,441 --> 01:09:51,441
this stuff?

1851
01:09:51,877 --> 01:09:53,877
>> no, we don't.

1852
01:09:53,946 --> 01:09:55,114
>> that is what I am inclined to

1853
01:09:55,114 --> 01:09:57,114
do.

1854
01:09:57,817 --> 01:09:58,484
Kind of put this in sync with

1855
01:09:58,484 --> 01:10:02,840
what you are paying the schedule

1856
01:10:05,524 --> 01:10:06,292
is.

1857
01:10:06,292 --> 01:10:08,292
>> I understand.

1858
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:11,970
I am going to ask you to do your

1859
01:10:11,970 --> 01:10:13,970
best on that.

1860
01:10:13,632 --> 01:10:16,632
And make your best effort.

1861
01:10:16,736 --> 01:10:18,700
And I will ask you if it's

1862
01:10:18,700 --> 01:10:19,972
getting to early DECEMBER and

1863
01:10:19,972 --> 01:10:23,572
looks like you're not going to

1864
01:10:23,642 --> 01:10:26,110
hit the target on the driveway,

1865
01:10:26,110 --> 01:10:29,248
stay in touch with the city,

1866
01:10:29,248 --> 01:10:31,648
explain the circumstances and

1867
01:10:32,118 --> 01:10:34,887
ask for the opportunity to get

1868
01:10:34,887 --> 01:10:36,689
more time on that.

1869
01:10:36,689 --> 01:10:38,991
I am thinking I will set the

1870
01:10:38,991 --> 01:10:41,391
compliance date in conjunction

1871
01:10:44,230 --> 01:10:45,731
with the painting and then we'll

1872
01:10:45,731 --> 01:10:47,499
be cautiously optimistic and see

1873
01:10:47,499 --> 01:10:47,700
where you are at the end of the

1874
01:10:47,700 --> 01:10:49,700
year.

1875
01:10:49,902 --> 01:10:53,138
>> I don't know if we can do it

1876
01:10:53,138 --> 01:10:53,573
ourselves or even had a

1877
01:10:53,573 --> 01:10:55,573
professional.

1878
01:10:56,909 --> 01:10:59,912
>> I am pretty sure I can't do

1879
01:10:59,912 --> 01:11:01,912
that myself.

1880
01:11:02,514 --> 01:11:04,514
>> listen, I appreciate

1881
01:11:05,784 --> 01:11:07,784
everything you explained.

1882
01:11:09,540 --> 01:11:09,288
>> I can tell when somebody is

1883
01:11:09,288 --> 01:11:11,288
trying.

1884
01:11:17,463 --> 01:11:19,965
Happy to give you that time.

1885
01:11:19,965 --> 01:11:23,200
So I will give you that time.

1886
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:24,603
>> don't come on the property

1887
01:11:24,603 --> 01:11:26,740
unless an emergency to avoid

1888
01:11:26,740 --> 01:11:27,473
seeing a different face in the

1889
01:11:27,473 --> 01:11:28,574
camera.

1890
01:11:28,574 --> 01:11:29,475
I have had an incident where I

1891
01:11:29,475 --> 01:11:32,478
have been broken in on and that

1892
01:11:32,478 --> 01:11:36,780
is why I moved to florida.

1893
01:11:39,318 --> 01:11:39,585
I understand emergency,

1894
01:11:39,585 --> 01:11:40,987
obviously.

1895
01:11:40,987 --> 01:11:43,987
It's just a little scary.

1896
01:11:44,257 --> 01:11:45,724
>> everybody is here and heard

1897
01:11:45,724 --> 01:11:47,226
what you said.

1898
01:11:47,226 --> 01:11:49,280
>> the property has been flagged

1899
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:50,960
so all communication wills take

1900
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:50,663
place via mail.

1901
01:11:50,663 --> 01:11:51,330
>> thank you.

1902
01:11:51,330 --> 01:11:52,231
That is wonderful.

1903
01:11:52,231 --> 01:11:53,432
>> thank you so much.

1904
01:11:53,432 --> 01:11:54,500
>> anything else the city needs

1905
01:11:54,500 --> 01:11:56,569
to put into the record?

1906
01:11:56,569 --> 01:11:57,437
>> in this case I will find

1907
01:11:57,437 --> 01:11:59,437
proper notice.

1908
01:12:01,700 --> 01:12:03,142
Based on the testimony and the

1909
01:12:03,142 --> 01:12:03,409
evidence t property remains in

1910
01:12:03,409 --> 01:12:05,409
violation.

1911
01:12:06,979 --> 01:12:09,215
I will set DECEMBER 16, 2026, as

1912
01:12:09,215 --> 01:12:10,449
the compliance date.

1913
01:12:10,449 --> 01:12:11,784
If this needs to be brought back

1914
01:12:11,784 --> 01:12:14,820
for any reason, the city can

1915
01:12:14,820 --> 01:12:15,154
notice it and bring it back as

1916
01:12:15,154 --> 01:12:16,956
needed.

1917
01:12:16,956 --> 01:12:17,189
Like I said, stay in touch with

1918
01:12:17,189 --> 01:12:18,724
them.

1919
01:12:18,724 --> 01:12:20,693
And if you feel like you're

1920
01:12:20,693 --> 01:12:21,861
going to need more time as we

1921
01:12:21,861 --> 01:12:22,561
get close to the end of the year

1922
01:12:22,561 --> 01:12:22,928
--

1923
01:12:22,928 --> 01:12:24,928
>> absolutely.

1924
01:12:27,433 --> 01:12:29,100
It will be cooler then.

1925
01:12:29,100 --> 01:12:30,870
>> do you want me to show

1926
01:12:30,870 --> 01:12:31,838
pictures from this morning?

1927
01:12:31,838 --> 01:12:34,238
>> I don't need them.

1928
01:12:37,510 --> 01:12:40,646
I get what is going on.

1929
01:12:40,646 --> 01:12:41,947
And again, set the compliance

1930
01:12:41,947 --> 01:12:42,448
date for DECEMBER 16 at the end

1931
01:12:42,448 --> 01:12:44,448
of the year.

1932
01:13:27,193 --> 01:13:28,600
>> good luck, ma'am.

1933
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:30,600
>> good morning.

1934
01:13:32,331 --> 01:13:32,531
>> give me one second, I'm

1935
01:13:32,531 --> 01:13:34,531
sorry.

1936
01:13:52,184 --> 01:13:54,184
>> okay..

1937
01:13:55,455 --> 01:13:56,255
>> officer wise, previously

1938
01:13:56,255 --> 01:13:57,723
sworn.

1939
01:13:57,723 --> 01:14:00,123
>> this case concerns the

1940
01:14:00,159 --> 01:14:01,627

morningside boulevard, port st.

1942
01:14:02,695 --> 01:14:04,290
Lucie, florida.

1943
01:14:04,290 --> 01:14:05,364
A violation hearing was held on

1944
01:14:05,364 --> 01:14:06,732
JULY 1, 2026.

1945
01:14:06,732 --> 01:14:09,732
Based on the evidence presented

1946
01:14:10,350 --> 01:14:11,700
on that date, the special

1947
01:14:11,700 --> 01:14:12,204
magistrate found the violations

1948
01:14:12,204 --> 01:14:14,604
existed and ordered compliance

1949
01:14:16,750 --> 01:14:18,544
to be achieved by JULY 8, 2026

1950
01:14:18,544 --> 01:14:20,944

maintenance.

1959
01:14:38,130 --> 01:14:38,798
Per neighborhood service

1960
01:14:38,798 --> 01:14:40,798

01:14:44,336 --> 01:14:45,171
2026.

1964
01:14:45,171 --> 01:14:46,572
Neighborhood services maintains

1965
01:14:46,572 --> 01:14:48,700
a copy of the entire case file

1966
01:14:48,700 --> 01:14:50,700
as public record.

1967
01:14:51,770 --> 01:14:51,944
The photos taken truly and

1968
01:14:51,944 --> 01:14:53,446
accurately represent the scene

1969
01:14:53,446 --> 01:14:54,413
as it appeared on the dates of

1970
01:14:54,413 --> 01:14:56,413
the inspections.

1971
01:14:56,749 --> 01:14:58,170
Due to the respondent's failure

1972
01:14:58,170 --> 01:14:59,619
to comply with the deadline set

1973
01:14:59,619 --> 01:15:01,787
forth at the violation hearing,

1974
01:15:01,787 --> 01:15:03,155
the city requests that the

1975
01:15:03,155 --> 01:15:05,240
special magistrate impose a fine

1976
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:07,193
and order the respondent to pay

1977
01:15:07,193 --> 01:15:09,896
a fine in the amount of $50 per

1978
01:15:09,896 --> 01:15:11,497
day up to a maximum of $50,000.

1979
01:15:11,497 --> 01:15:14,497
Finally t city requests the

1980
01:15:14,634 --> 01:15:15,201
respondents be ordered to pay an

1981
01:15:15,201 --> 01:15:16,769
administrative cost in the

1982
01:15:16,769 --> 01:15:17,437
amount of $411, representing

1983
01:15:17,437 --> 01:15:19,837
reasonable cost of the

1984
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:22,472
investigation and prosecution of

1985
01:15:23,376 --> 01:15:25,376
the case.

1986
01:15:27,580 --> 01:15:30,583
So this was the original door

1987
01:15:30,583 --> 01:15:32,983
hanger back in APRIL.

1988
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:36,889
The posting from AUGUST 21.

1989
01:15:36,889 --> 01:15:40,125
And then last week on the 27th,

1990
01:15:40,125 --> 01:15:43,695
the open storage in the bed of

1991
01:15:43,695 --> 01:15:45,640
the truck.

1992
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:49,264
All this on the outside as well

1993
01:15:54,340 --> 01:15:56,943
as here on the inside.

1994
01:15:56,943 --> 01:15:58,411
This is a top for a hot tub, I

1995
01:15:58,411 --> 01:16:02,110
believe, put over to the side

1996
01:16:02,448 --> 01:16:04,448
and miscellaneous items.

1997
01:16:06,151 --> 01:16:08,821
And the exterior maintenance is

1998
01:16:08,821 --> 01:16:12,458
this along the roof line and the

1999
01:16:12,458 --> 01:16:14,458
chipped paint.

2000
01:16:16,962 --> 01:16:18,698
See it again there.

2001
01:16:18,698 --> 01:16:23,498
here is a foe foe from the front

2002
01:16:24,637 --> 01:16:26,390
of the house.

2003
01:16:26,390 --> 01:16:26,505
Those are all the photos I have

2004
01:16:26,505 --> 01:16:27,974
now.

2005
01:16:27,974 --> 01:16:28,575
>> has there been any change in

2006
01:16:28,575 --> 01:16:30,900
the situation since the

2007
01:16:30,900 --> 01:16:32,409
violation hearing in JULY?

2008
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:35,120
>> there has.

2009
01:16:38,117 --> 01:16:39,652
So the exterior maintenance

2010
01:16:39,652 --> 01:16:41,988
along with the stuff up top down

2011
01:16:41,988 --> 01:16:43,389
here along the bottom was also

2012
01:16:43,389 --> 01:16:44,924
chipped up, but that portion has

2013
01:16:44,924 --> 01:16:47,590
been painted and repaireded.

2014
01:16:47,590 --> 01:16:47,793
The only remaining is along the

2015
01:16:47,793 --> 01:16:48,895
roof line.

2016
01:16:48,895 --> 01:16:49,428
>> very good.

2017
01:16:49,428 --> 01:16:50,897
All right.

2018
01:16:50,897 --> 01:16:51,597
Anything else you need to put

2019
01:16:51,597 --> 01:16:52,298
into the record?

2020
01:16:52,298 --> 01:16:53,650
>> no, sir.

2021
01:16:53,650 --> 01:16:55,650
>> okay.

2022
01:16:56,168 --> 01:16:58,905
Let me get you sworn in, ma'am,

2023
01:16:58,905 --> 01:16:59,973
and I'll be happy to hear from

2024
01:16:59,973 --> 01:17:00,640
you.

2025
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:01,674
>> please raise your right hand.

2026
01:17:01,674 --> 01:17:02,775
Do you swear the testimony you

2027
01:17:02,775 --> 01:17:03,810
offer today is the truth and

2028
01:17:03,810 --> 01:17:05,678
nothing but the stroout?

2029
01:17:05,678 --> 01:17:07,678
>> kelly dakis.

2030
01:17:07,713 --> 01:17:09,749
>> the floor is your.

2031
01:17:09,749 --> 01:17:11,184
>> not to tell you my life's

2032
01:17:11,184 --> 01:17:12,552
story but I have been in and out

2033
01:17:12,552 --> 01:17:15,552
of lake worth, deerfield area.

2034
01:17:17,230 --> 01:17:20,827
I got married and in the process

2035
01:17:20,827 --> 01:17:22,528
of a divorce, since the APRIL

2036
01:17:22,528 --> 01:17:25,980
photos, back story on why I have

2037
01:17:25,980 --> 01:17:26,165
accumulation is a., I am the

2038
01:17:26,165 --> 01:17:27,767
busiest person you met.

2039
01:17:27,767 --> 01:17:28,601
I work 120 hours a week and I am

2040
01:17:28,601 --> 01:17:30,601
a chef.

2041
01:17:30,670 --> 01:17:32,104
I closed my restaurant on the

2042
01:17:32,104 --> 01:17:34,107
boulevard and brought everything

2043
01:17:34,107 --> 01:17:35,842
back to my house.

2044
01:17:35,842 --> 01:17:36,642
Since then I am a single mom

2045
01:17:36,642 --> 01:17:37,410
struggle life.

2046
01:17:37,410 --> 01:17:39,810
There is no excuse.

2047
01:17:42,148 --> 01:17:43,416
I am getting my stuff together.

2048
01:17:43,416 --> 01:17:47,160
I have had violations for a

2049
01:17:47,353 --> 01:17:49,555
little while, so I understand

2050
01:17:49,555 --> 01:17:50,723
what's going on here.

2051
01:17:50,723 --> 01:17:52,659
focus on the problem, the

2052
01:17:52,659 --> 01:17:54,927
problem increases, so I am

2053
01:17:54,927 --> 01:17:55,862
focussing on the solution.

2054
01:17:55,862 --> 01:17:56,862
The solution is I have removed

2055
01:17:56,862 --> 01:17:57,930
some of the things.

2056
01:17:57,930 --> 01:18:00,990
Actually, this morning I was a

2057
01:18:00,990 --> 01:18:01,634
minute and a half late for court

2058
01:18:01,634 --> 01:18:03,102
to wash my hands coming in

2059
01:18:03,102 --> 01:18:03,436
because I did remove some of the

2060
01:18:03,436 --> 01:18:04,470
accumulation.

2061
01:18:04,470 --> 01:18:05,638
I have photos to prove that.

2062
01:18:05,638 --> 01:18:06,806
As you can see t house was

2063
01:18:06,806 --> 01:18:09,409
yellow t a one point.

2064
01:18:09,409 --> 01:18:11,409
Now it's blue.

2065
01:18:11,578 --> 01:18:13,980
In this 100 degree weather, I

2066
01:18:13,980 --> 01:18:14,914
have been in and out of painting

2067
01:18:14,914 --> 01:18:16,914
the house myself.

2068
01:18:17,316 --> 01:18:19,850
And so that's what brandon was

2069
01:18:19,850 --> 01:18:21,320
mentioning about the bottom

2070
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:22,722
chipped paint.

2071
01:18:22,722 --> 01:18:24,257
Since then, I was a victim of

2072
01:18:24,257 --> 01:18:24,690
the tornado and I didn't even

2073
01:18:24,690 --> 01:18:26,559
know.

2074
01:18:26,559 --> 01:18:27,994
>> that tornado from a week ago?

2075
01:18:27,994 --> 01:18:28,494
>> that just happened like a

2076
01:18:28,494 --> 01:18:30,430
week ago.

2077
01:18:30,430 --> 01:18:31,831
>> and the reason I didn't know

2078
01:18:31,831 --> 01:18:32,465
is because primarily my work is

2079
01:18:32,465 --> 01:18:34,465
down south.

2080
01:18:35,368 --> 01:18:37,370
I am not saying I'm -- I am

2081
01:18:37,370 --> 01:18:38,171
renting down there because it is

2082
01:18:38,171 --> 01:18:38,771
easier to not travel every

2083
01:18:38,771 --> 01:18:40,771
single day.

2084
01:18:43,109 --> 01:18:43,376
I still do reside at that

2085
01:18:43,376 --> 01:18:45,244
location.

2086
01:18:45,244 --> 01:18:45,845
And in the legal way I need to

2087
01:18:45,845 --> 01:18:47,480
and whatnot.

2088
01:18:47,480 --> 01:18:50,480
My mail goes there, everything.

2089
01:18:50,883 --> 01:18:53,186
I visit every once in a while,

2090
01:18:53,186 --> 01:18:55,188
but the accumulation of the door

2091
01:18:55,188 --> 01:18:55,388
hangers, I don't go through that

2092
01:18:55,388 --> 01:18:57,900
door.

2093
01:18:57,900 --> 01:18:58,925
I go through the car port.

2094
01:18:58,925 --> 01:19:00,126
The table I was told back in the

2095
01:19:00,126 --> 01:19:02,361
day that the table I was told

2096
01:19:02,361 --> 01:19:04,764
could stay there, but I will

2097
01:19:04,764 --> 01:19:05,640
remove it within the next -- I

2098
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:06,566
don't know.

2099
01:19:06,566 --> 01:19:09,202
I just can't physically do it

2100
01:19:09,202 --> 01:19:09,435
myself only because it's a big

2101
01:19:09,435 --> 01:19:11,435
table.

2102
01:19:11,471 --> 01:19:11,637
But everything else I am working

2103
01:19:11,637 --> 01:19:13,637
on.

2104
01:19:14,774 --> 01:19:16,309
That hot tub, the top blew off.

2105
01:19:16,309 --> 01:19:18,770
I think when one of our storms

2106
01:19:18,770 --> 01:19:21,114
in the last coup of weeks.

2107
01:19:21,114 --> 01:19:22,982
So I will take care of that.

2108
01:19:22,982 --> 01:19:23,750
And I am asking for a

2109
01:19:23,750 --> 01:19:24,584
continuance or whatever you can

2110
01:19:24,584 --> 01:19:26,185
give to me.

2111
01:19:26,185 --> 01:19:27,187
A., I will continue to paint the

2112
01:19:27,187 --> 01:19:27,620
house the way it need to be

2113
01:19:27,620 --> 01:19:29,620
done.

2114
01:19:31,223 --> 01:19:34,627
But the reason I know about the

2115
01:19:34,627 --> 01:19:35,861
roof is my pest control lady --

2116
01:19:35,861 --> 01:19:36,829
I have pictures of the tornado

2117
01:19:36,829 --> 01:19:38,531
damage as well.

2118
01:19:38,531 --> 01:19:40,990
The pest control lady said your

2119
01:19:40,990 --> 01:19:41,401
house is messed up.

2120
01:19:41,401 --> 01:19:43,402
Yeah, girl, I know.

2121
01:19:43,402 --> 01:19:43,837
I am in the process of the

2122
01:19:43,837 --> 01:19:44,871
remodelling.

2123
01:19:44,871 --> 01:19:46,806
I know it is crazy in there

2124
01:19:46,806 --> 01:19:48,740
because I am getting ready to

2125
01:19:48,740 --> 01:19:49,408
sell the home.

2126
01:19:49,408 --> 01:19:51,110
I wasn't sure because of the

2127
01:19:51,110 --> 01:19:53,813
divorce, I didn't want to do

2128
01:19:53,813 --> 01:19:54,470
anything legally until I seeked

2129
01:19:54,470 --> 01:19:56,470
counsel.

2130
01:19:57,417 --> 01:19:58,785
So without telling you my life

2131
01:19:58,785 --> 01:19:59,919
story, where we're at today, I

2132
01:19:59,919 --> 01:20:00,119
will continue to paint the

2133
01:20:00,119 --> 01:20:02,119
house.

2134
01:20:04,290 --> 01:20:05,958
It is yellow and green and blue

2135
01:20:05,958 --> 01:20:08,261
and all sorts of crazy.

2136
01:20:08,261 --> 01:20:09,662
I did take the shutters down

2137
01:20:09,662 --> 01:20:11,464
that were visibly an eyesore.

2138
01:20:11,464 --> 01:20:15,640
And I did change the numbers

2139
01:20:15,568 --> 01:20:16,936
which one of them was broken.

2140
01:20:16,936 --> 01:20:19,336
I fixed the blinds.

2141
01:20:19,472 --> 01:20:21,374
I need to weed the pineapples

2142
01:20:21,374 --> 01:20:22,675
and put the mulch down and the

2143
01:20:22,675 --> 01:20:24,410
car port area.

2144
01:20:24,410 --> 01:20:25,378
I will work as hard and fast as

2145
01:20:25,378 --> 01:20:27,378
I can.

2146
01:20:27,547 --> 01:20:27,747
It's just been life on life's

2147
01:20:27,747 --> 01:20:29,515
term.

2148
01:20:29,515 --> 01:20:32,452
There is no excuse expect I am

2149
01:20:32,452 --> 01:20:34,852
asking for more time.

2150
01:20:36,189 --> 01:20:39,789
I did remove that debris or

2151
01:20:41,861 --> 01:20:42,462
whatever with the things we are

2152
01:20:42,462 --> 01:20:43,897
going through.

2153
01:20:43,897 --> 01:20:46,499
Step one was to see you guy.

2154
01:20:46,499 --> 01:20:50,236
I didn't know I had all these

2155
01:20:50,236 --> 01:20:51,938
accumulations of the letters.

2156
01:20:51,938 --> 01:20:54,707
I didn't go into the front door.

2157
01:20:54,707 --> 01:20:56,443
Step one was to see you and step

2158
01:20:56,443 --> 01:20:57,343
two is to make the phone call to

2159
01:20:57,343 --> 01:20:59,212
the insurance for the roof.

2160
01:20:59,212 --> 01:21:00,613
I will need a new roof.

2161
01:21:00,613 --> 01:21:03,130
There is obviously significant

2162
01:21:03,182 --> 01:21:05,418
damage if I can, I will show you

2163
01:21:05,418 --> 01:21:05,685
the photos of the tornado

2164
01:21:05,685 --> 01:21:07,685
damage.

2165
01:21:12,225 --> 01:21:12,491
And you can probably see it

2166
01:21:12,491 --> 01:21:14,360
there.

2167
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:16,396
I know I need to clean up the

2168
01:21:16,396 --> 01:21:16,596
property faster than I have

2169
01:21:16,596 --> 01:21:17,864
been.

2170
01:21:17,864 --> 01:21:19,165
And that is all I got for you.

2171
01:21:19,165 --> 01:21:19,999
I will work on it and continue

2172
01:21:19,999 --> 01:21:21,801
to work on it.

2173
01:21:21,801 --> 01:21:24,671
Now there is a significant

2174
01:21:24,671 --> 01:21:27,671
burden with the tornado damage

2175
01:21:33,413 --> 01:21:34,847
on the roof.

2176
01:21:34,847 --> 01:21:37,417
I will be able to take as much

2177
01:21:37,417 --> 01:21:42,217
time as I clean up the rest of

2178
01:21:53,165 --> 01:21:55,165
the outside parameters.

2179
01:22:21,728 --> 01:22:23,429
I am not sure if that be the

2180
01:22:23,429 --> 01:22:25,264
>> the table itself, you can't

2181
01:22:25,264 --> 01:22:26,299
move the table itself.

2182
01:22:26,299 --> 01:22:26,833
That can stay.

2183
01:22:26,833 --> 01:22:28,335
But everything needs --

2184
01:22:28,335 --> 01:22:30,970
>> everything is off the top.

2185
01:22:30,970 --> 01:22:31,638
>> and then remove the things

2186
01:22:31,638 --> 01:22:33,840
that are under --

2187
01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:34,440
>> like produce crates that are

2188
01:22:34,440 --> 01:22:35,542
underneath.

2189
01:22:35,542 --> 01:22:36,910
>> move those out today.

2190
01:22:36,910 --> 01:22:37,711
>> if the table is empty, you

2191
01:22:37,711 --> 01:22:39,711
are fine.

2192
01:22:40,790 --> 01:22:40,747
>> it is bulk pick up day, so I

2193
01:22:40,747 --> 01:22:42,582
pulled everything up front and

2194
01:22:42,582 --> 01:22:44,183
try and get that punching bag up

2195
01:22:44,183 --> 01:22:45,184
front as well.

2196
01:22:45,184 --> 01:22:46,352
>> do you think you can get this

2197
01:22:46,352 --> 01:22:47,954
code enforcement stuff done

2198
01:22:47,954 --> 01:22:50,354
within the next 30 days?

2199
01:22:50,490 --> 01:22:53,490
That is not the roof.

2200
01:22:55,761 --> 01:22:58,665
That's just the -- just to be

2201
01:22:58,665 --> 01:23:00,533
clear, if I just paint -- puff

2202
01:23:00,533 --> 01:23:04,237
is it okay my house is two

2203
01:23:04,237 --> 01:23:04,504
color, four colors, whatever it

2204
01:23:04,504 --> 01:23:05,772
looks loik

2205
01:23:05,772 --> 01:23:07,473
looks like?

2206
01:23:07,473 --> 01:23:09,175
>> we don't enforce colors.

2207
01:23:09,175 --> 01:23:11,878
>> whatever I can do to comply.

2208
01:23:11,878 --> 01:23:12,912
>> and so the open storage, how

2209
01:23:12,912 --> 01:23:14,280
long for everything --

2210
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:15,816
>> can I show you what I did

2211
01:23:15,816 --> 01:23:17,816
this morning?

2212
01:23:21,540 --> 01:23:22,822
>> we can inspect -- let's say

2213
01:23:22,822 --> 01:23:24,691
some of it still remains.

2214
01:23:24,691 --> 01:23:26,920
Let's say how long to remove?

2215
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:28,528
>> if you tell me what I can

2216
01:23:28,528 --> 01:23:28,728
really remove, I can tell you

2217
01:23:28,728 --> 01:23:30,960
today.

2218
01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:30,363
>> we can meet you at the

2219
01:23:30,363 --> 01:23:32,363
property.

2220
01:23:32,532 --> 01:23:34,233
>> can I show you this real

2221
01:23:34,233 --> 01:23:35,168
quick?

2222
01:23:35,168 --> 01:23:36,202
>> sure.

2223
01:23:36,202 --> 01:23:36,469
>> that is what's left this

2224
01:23:36,469 --> 01:23:38,469
morning.

2225
01:23:40,407 --> 01:23:43,443
And sweep it and make it better.

2226
01:23:43,443 --> 01:23:43,643
>> and get rid of the table

2227
01:23:43,643 --> 01:23:45,643
stuff.

2228
01:23:49,949 --> 01:23:51,851
>> I will try and call somebody.

2229
01:23:51,851 --> 01:23:53,420
>> lawn mower there.

2230
01:23:53,420 --> 01:23:56,420
>> and those, that is this

2231
01:24:05,298 --> 01:24:07,670
morning.

2232
01:24:07,670 --> 01:24:11,370
I know there might be plants and

2233
01:24:11,370 --> 01:24:12,372
stuff and all wild and crazy.

2234
01:24:12,372 --> 01:24:14,274
>> how about this?

2235
01:24:14,274 --> 01:24:15,709
>> we can work offline and have

2236
01:24:15,709 --> 01:24:16,843
officer wise meet you at the

2237
01:24:16,843 --> 01:24:19,843
property, tell you exactly what

2238
01:24:20,113 --> 01:24:22,382
needs to be removed.

2239
01:24:22,382 --> 01:24:25,418
And then so if we grant the

2240
01:24:25,418 --> 01:24:27,220
continuance for 30 days, would

2241
01:24:27,220 --> 01:24:28,354
that be sufficient to get this

2242
01:24:28,354 --> 01:24:29,689
--

2243
01:24:29,689 --> 01:24:31,157
>> I'll go buy a paint brush

2244
01:24:31,157 --> 01:24:31,624
right now.

2245
01:24:31,624 --> 01:24:33,624
>> perfect.

2246
01:24:34,627 --> 01:24:36,296
The city is not opposed to a

2247
01:24:36,296 --> 01:24:37,864
30-day continuance on this and

2248
01:24:37,864 --> 01:24:39,650
prefer not to certify the fine

2249
01:24:39,650 --> 01:24:42,650
if we don't have to.

2250

If we have to come back, there

2275
01:25:24,877 --> 01:25:26,179

2310
01:27:06,146 --> 01:27:07,480
On JUNE 4, 2026 an inspection

01:27:07,480 --> 01:27:10,350

2312

The photos depict an accurate

2319
01:27:25,899 --> 01:27:26,990
at the time the photos were

taken.

2321
01:27:27,334 --> 01:27:30,334
The notice of violation was

2322
01:27:38,545 --> 01:27:40,545
issued JUNE 4, 2026.

2323
01:27:41,147 --> 01:27:42,448
A notice of hearing was

2324
01:27:42,448 --> 01:27:44,448
furnished JULY 23.

2325
01:27:45,419 --> 01:27:46,787
On AUGUST 19, proper service was

2326
01:27:46,787 --> 01:27:47,988
achieved by posting the property

2327
01:27:47,988 --> 01:27:50,988
with a notice of hear.

2328
01:27:51,124 --> 01:27:53,600
The city requests that the

2329
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:54,961

2330
01:27:54,961 --> 01:27:56,329

2337
01:28:15,882 --> 01:28:17,417
If the respondents fail to

2338
01:28:17,417 --> 01:28:18,151
comply, the city requests the

2339
01:28:18,151 --> 01:28:20,551
special magistrate to authorize

2340
01:28:22,155 --> 01:28:24,240

and weeds.

2346
01:28:39,172 --> 01:28:42,108
Here we have the grass that is

2347
01:28:42,108 --> 01:28:44,845
getting up to 2 feet in height.

2348
01:28:44,845 --> 01:28:45,278
On the right side of the

2349
01:28:45,278 --> 01:28:47,278
property.

2350
01:28:47,814 --> 01:28:50,214
There is the posting.

2351
01:28:51,552 --> 01:28:54,552
here is the front yard.

2352
01:28:54,654 --> 01:28:56,990
And then right side of the

2353
01:28:56,990 --> 01:28:57,791
property.

2354
01:28:57,791 --> 01:28:59,791
>> all right.

2355
01:29:00,460 --> 01:29:01,995
So did somebody cut it there?

2356
01:29:01,995 --> 01:29:02,195
>> they cut the front yard

2357
01:29:02,195 --> 01:29:03,864
there.

2358
01:29:03,864 --> 01:29:05,332
That was at the back.

2359
01:29:05,332 --> 01:29:05,532
>> this is pretty thick back

2360
01:29:05,532 --> 01:29:06,833
there.

2361
01:29:06,833 --> 01:29:09,869
>> but the city didn't do that.

2362
01:29:09,869 --> 01:29:10,604
>> no.

2363
01:29:10,604 --> 01:29:12,138
>> all right.

2364
01:29:12,138 --> 01:29:13,407
Well, there is nobody here on

2365
01:29:13,407 --> 01:29:15,750
behalf of the respondent.

2366
01:29:15,750 --> 01:29:15,742
However, the city has proper

2367
01:29:15,742 --> 01:29:17,477
notice.

2368
01:29:17,477 --> 01:29:19,913
Based on the evidence, I find

2369
01:29:19,913 --> 01:29:20,180
the property remains in

2370
01:29:20,180 --> 01:29:20,947
violation.

2371
01:29:20,947 --> 01:29:23,317
I find that violation

2372
01:29:23,317 --> 01:29:23,850
constitutes a threat to the

2373
01:29:23,850 --> 01:29:24,117
public health, safety and

2374
01:29:24,117 --> 01:29:25,510

2375
01:29:25,510 --> 01:29:26,820
I will grant all the relief

2376
01:29:26,820 --> 01:29:28,221

2380
01:29:37,931 --> 01:29:39,320

01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:41,320

2394
01:30:26,346 --> 01:30:27,140
The photos depict an accurate

A notice of violation was issued

JULY 15, 2026.

2400

The respondent had until july

2402
01:30:36,623 --> 01:30:38,191

2410
01:30:48,101 --> 01:30:49,402
The city requests that the

while.

2431
01:31:30,644 --> 01:31:30,844
That is the right side of the

Left side as you can see how

01:50:25,413 --> 01:50:27,382
respondnts at a later hearing.

2990
01:50:27,382 --> 01:50:30,982
So here is the original door

2991
01:50:33,387 --> 01:50:33,588
hanger left on the front of the

2992
01:50:33,588 --> 01:50:35,323
home.

2993
01:50:35,323 --> 01:50:36,491
This is some of the high grass

2994
01:50:36,491 --> 01:50:37,158
in the home, in front of the

2995
01:50:37,158 --> 01:50:38,226
home.

2996
01:50:38,226 --> 01:50:39,227
It looks like they tried to cut

2997
01:50:39,227 --> 01:50:41,227
some of it.

2998
01:50:44,650 --> 01:50:45,433
But it's still wildly overgrown.

2999
01:50:45,433 --> 01:50:49,330
See here up to and over 24

3000
01:50:56,811 --> 01:50:57,645
inches.

3001
01:50:57,645 --> 01:51:00,450
this is the backyard.

3002
01:51:00,800 --> 01:51:02,350
In order to take the photos, I

3003
01:51:02,350 --> 01:51:02,717
had access to the neighbor's

3004
01:51:02,717 --> 01:51:04,552
yard.

3005
01:51:04,552 --> 01:51:05,386
The fence is right here on my

3006
01:51:05,386 --> 01:51:06,821
chin.

3007
01:51:06,821 --> 01:51:08,821
>>

3008
01:51:12,994 --> 01:51:14,829
>> 5 foot or 6 foot?

3009
01:51:14,829 --> 01:51:15,697
>> either way, I was taller than

3010
01:51:15,697 --> 01:51:17,265
it surprisingly.

3011
01:51:17,265 --> 01:51:18,990
Here is the whole backyard.

3012
01:51:18,990 --> 01:51:19,734
It is completely overgrown.

3013
01:51:19,734 --> 01:51:21,536
>> welcome to the jungle.

3014
01:51:21,536 --> 01:51:24,872
>> as you can see, yeah, this

3015
01:51:24,872 --> 01:51:27,740
tree, I believe, a big oak tree.

3016
01:51:27,740 --> 01:51:31,274
There is a lot of dead branches

3017
01:51:32,680 --> 01:51:35,383
falling and down on it.

3018
01:51:35,383 --> 01:51:38,383
>> it's well over 4, 5 feet tall

3019
01:51:39,200 --> 01:51:39,287
in the back and the entire

3020
01:51:39,287 --> 01:51:41,287
backyard.

3021
01:51:46,270 --> 01:51:48,270
>> yeah.

3022
01:52:05,460 --> 01:52:06,280
This is the dead overgrowth.

3023
01:52:06,280 --> 01:52:07,682
>> respondents are not present,

3024
01:52:07,682 --> 01:52:08,850
but the city has proper notice.

3025
01:52:08,850 --> 01:52:09,984
Based on the testimony and the

3026
01:52:09,984 --> 01:52:12,384
evidence, the property remains

3027
01:52:14,880 --> 01:52:16,488
in violation as cited.

3028
01:52:17,250 --> 01:52:18,359
Those violations constitute a

3029
01:52:18,359 --> 01:52:18,993
threat to the public health,

3030
01:52:18,993 --> 01:52:20,993
safety and welfare.

3031
01:52:21,362 --> 01:52:23,765
I will grant the relief

3032
01:52:23,765 --> 01:52:24,465
including SEPTEMBER 9 compliance

3033
01:52:24,465 --> 01:52:25,667
date and also after that

3034
01:52:25,667 --> 01:52:28,667
authority to enter the property,

3035
01:52:29,370 --> 01:52:31,720
abate the violations and assess

3036
01:52:31,720 --> 01:52:32,940
the costs.

3037
01:52:32,940 --> 01:52:34,940
>> all right.

3038
01:52:37,111 --> 01:52:38,880
We will move to the

3039
01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:39,314

3040
01:52:39,314 --> 01:52:41,314

This case concerns the property

3047
01:53:29,731 --> 01:53:30,798
at 6869 northwest dragon street.

3048
01:53:30,798 --> 01:53:32,167
A violation hearing was held

3049
01:53:32,167 --> 01:53:33,467
JUNE 3, 2026.

3050
01:53:33,467 --> 01:53:34,702
Based and the evidence provided

3051
01:53:34,702 --> 01:53:36,304
on that date, the special

3052
01:53:36,304 --> 01:53:37,505
magistrate found that the

3053
01:53:37,505 --> 01:53:39,905
violations existed and ordered

3054
01:53:41,409 --> 01:53:43,912
compliance be achieved by JUNE

3055
01:53:43,912 --> 01:53:45,790
10, 2026.

3056
01:53:45,790 --> 01:53:46,914
And if not in compliance -- and

3057
01:53:46,914 --> 01:53:49,384
if compliance is not achieved,

3058
01:53:49,384 --> 01:53:51,186
then authorize the city to enter

3059
01:53:51,186 --> 01:53:53,187
enter upon the property to bring

3060
01:53:53,187 --> 01:53:55,223
the property into compliance.

3061
01:53:55,223 --> 01:53:56,424
Following violations were

3062
01:53:56,424 --> 01:53:58,824
41.08b, exterior property areas

3063
01:53:59,193 --> 01:53:59,427
highs, grass and weeds over 12

3064
01:53:59,427 --> 01:54:01,427
inches.

3066
01:54:04,799 --> 01:54:06,100
overgrowth.

3067
01:54:06,100 --> 01:54:06,834
Per neighborhood services

3068
01:54:06,834 --> 01:54:08,834
department records, compliance

3069
01:54:10,471 --> 01:54:11,720
was not achieved by JUNE 10,

3070
01:54:11,720 --> 01:54:13,720
2026.

3071
01:54:13,407 --> 01:54:14,309
And the city took steps to abate

3072
01:54:14,309 --> 01:54:16,709
the violations and the

3073
01:54:17,412 --> 01:54:18,513
violations were abated and JULY

3074
01:54:18,513 --> 01:54:20,513
23, 2026.

3075
01:54:21,820 --> 01:54:21,983
Neighborhood services maintains

3076
01:54:21,983 --> 01:54:23,651
a copy of the entire case file

3077
01:54:23,651 --> 01:54:25,651
as public record.

3078
01:54:26,540 --> 01:54:26,754
The photos taken truly and

3079
01:54:26,754 --> 01:54:28,757
accurately represent the scene

3080
01:54:28,757 --> 01:54:29,390
as it appeared on the dates of

3081
01:54:29,390 --> 01:54:31,292
the inspection.

3082
01:54:31,292 --> 01:54:32,527
Due to the respondent's failure

3083
01:54:32,527 --> 01:54:34,762
to comply by the deadline set

3084
01:54:34,762 --> 01:54:36,330
forth at the violation hearing,

3085
01:54:36,330 --> 01:54:39,330
the city requests the respondent

3086
01:54:39,334 --> 01:54:41,102
be ordered to pay costs in the

3087
01:54:41,102 --> 01:54:42,203
amount of $3,095 for the repairs

3088
01:54:42,203 --> 01:54:44,305
to bring the property into

3089
01:54:44,305 --> 01:54:44,939
compliance as previously

3090
01:54:44,939 --> 01:54:46,741
authorized.

3091
01:54:46,741 --> 01:54:50,341
Finally t city requests that the

3092
01:54:51,379 --> 01:54:52,313
respondent be pay administrative

3093
01:54:52,313 --> 01:54:53,381
cost in the amount of $411

3094
01:54:53,381 --> 01:54:54,150
representing reasonable costs of

3095
01:54:54,150 --> 01:54:56,150
the investigation and

3096
01:54:57,185 --> 01:54:59,585
prosecution of the case.

3097
01:55:01,455 --> 01:55:03,558
This here was the original way

3098
01:55:03,558 --> 01:55:03,858
the property looked at the last

3099
01:55:03,858 --> 01:55:05,560
hearing.

3100
01:55:05,560 --> 01:55:08,560
The neighbor was cutting the

3101
01:55:09,630 --> 01:55:09,931
property on the right side

3102
01:55:09,931 --> 01:55:11,931
there.

3103
01:55:13,368 --> 01:55:16,968
You can see the grass was

3104
01:55:17,438 --> 01:55:19,641
obviously about 2 feet tall.

3105
01:55:19,641 --> 01:55:21,409
And this here is the -- looks of

3106
01:55:21,409 --> 01:55:24,409
the overgrowth being taken care

3107
01:55:26,948 --> 01:55:27,915
of and the grass being cut.

3108
01:55:27,915 --> 01:55:29,484
>> all right.

3109
01:55:29,484 --> 01:55:29,684
So you already have an abatement

3110
01:55:29,684 --> 01:55:31,286
order.

3111
01:55:31,286 --> 01:55:31,519
You don't need another one, I

3112
01:55:31,519 --> 01:55:31,953
ges.

3113
01:55:31,953 --> 01:55:33,121
>> correct.

3114
01:55:33,121 --> 01:55:34,655
>> let's see.

3115
01:55:34,655 --> 01:55:36,390
The respondent is not present,

3116
01:55:36,390 --> 01:55:37,992
but the city has proper notice.

3117
01:55:37,992 --> 01:55:38,759
Based on the testimony and

3118
01:55:38,759 --> 01:55:41,159
evidence, the property remains

3119
01:55:42,730 --> 01:55:44,666
in violation as kroit

3120
01:55:44,666 --> 01:55:46,634
cite and did

3121
01:55:46,634 --> 01:55:49,634
not comply with the JUNE 3, 2026

3122
01:55:51,973 --> 01:55:53,841
order finding violation.

3123
01:55:53,841 --> 01:55:56,241
Therefore, that is probably

3124
01:55:56,678 --> 01:55:59,614
where the abatement order is.

3125
01:55:59,614 --> 01:56:00,148
Now the property is in

3126
01:56:00,148 --> 01:56:01,549
compliance because of the

3127
01:56:01,549 --> 01:56:03,949
abatement activity undertaken by

3128
01:56:05,253 --> 01:56:05,787
the city which resulted in costs

3129
01:56:05,787 --> 01:56:07,488
of $3,095.

3130
01:56:07,488 --> 01:56:09,691
I will assess those costs and

3131
01:56:09,691 --> 01:56:12,910
also award the administrative

3132
01:56:20,368 --> 01:56:21,402
costs in this case for $411.

3133
01:56:21,402 --> 01:56:23,402
>> thank you.

3134
01:56:27,509 --> 01:56:29,410

3142
01:56:47,162 --> 01:56:49,397
The violation hearing was held

3143
01:56:49,397 --> 01:56:50,832
on JUNE 17, 2026.

3144
01:56:50,832 --> 01:56:52,267
Based on the evidence provided

3145
01:56:52,267 --> 01:56:53,335
and that date, the special

3146
01:56:53,335 --> 01:56:54,302
magistrate found the violation

3147
01:56:54,302 --> 01:56:56,702
existed and ordered compliance

3148
01:56:57,806 --> 01:56:59,741
be achieved by JUNE 24, 2026.

3149
01:56:59,741 --> 01:57:01,242
And if compliance not achieved,

3150
01:57:01,242 --> 01:57:02,210
then authorize the city to enter

3151
01:57:02,210 --> 01:57:03,878
upon the property to bring the

3152
01:57:03,878 --> 01:57:05,146
property into compliance.

3153
01:57:05,146 --> 01:57:07,546
The following violation was

weeds over 12 inches.

3157
01:57:12,621 --> 01:57:13,388
Per neighborhood services

3158
01:57:13,388 --> 01:57:15,388
department records, compliance

3159
01:57:18,326 --> 01:57:19,394
was not I a achieved by JUNE

24, 2026.

3161
01:57:21,396 --> 01:57:21,696
The city took steps to abate the

3162
01:57:21,696 --> 01:57:23,298
violation.

3163
01:57:23,298 --> 01:57:24,299
The violation was abated and

3164
01:57:24,299 --> 01:57:25,967
JULY 15, 2026.

3165
01:57:25,967 --> 01:57:27,235
Neighborhood services maintains

The photos taken truly and

3169

accurately represent the scene

as it appeared on dates of the

inspections.

3172
01:57:34,975 --> 01:57:35,210
The recommendation is as

3173
01:57:35,210 --> 01:57:37,440
follows.

3174
01:57:37,440 --> 01:57:38,130
Due to the respondent's failure

3175
01:57:38,130 --> 01:57:39,414

01:57:39,414 --> 01:57:40,415

3177
01:57:40,415 --> 01:57:42,917
the city requests that the

01:57:46,121 --> 01:57:49,121

01:57:50,792 --> 01:57:52,227
property into compliance, as

3182
01:57:52,227 --> 01:57:54,227
previously authorized.

3183
01:57:55,163 --> 01:57:56,598
And pay administrative cost in

3184
01:57:56,598 --> 01:57:57,199

3185
01:57:57,199 --> 01:57:59,167

prosecution of the case.

3187
01:58:00,936 --> 01:58:03,238
This is the day of the posting.

3188
01:58:03,238 --> 01:58:05,638
This is before photos.

3189
01:58:10,110 --> 01:58:10,945
All the grass was in the

3190
01:58:10,945 --> 01:58:12,945
backyard.

3191
01:58:14,315 --> 01:58:17,915
Like I said, backyard and is

3192
01:58:19,421 --> 01:58:23,210
just some here in the front.

3193
01:58:24,325 --> 01:58:26,194
And this is after the grass cut

3194
01:58:26,194 --> 01:58:27,862
check.

3195
01:58:27,862 --> 01:58:28,963
That is all the photos, sir.

3196
01:58:28,963 --> 01:58:30,298
>> okay.

3197
01:58:30,298 --> 01:58:31,332
Let's see, respondent is not

3198
01:58:31,332 --> 01:58:33,332

3199
01:58:34,235 --> 01:58:34,469
However, the city has proper

3200
01:58:34,469 --> 01:58:36,400
notice.

3201
01:58:36,400 --> 01:58:37,339
based and the testimony and the

3202
01:58:37,339 --> 01:58:39,474
evidence, I find the property

3203
01:58:39,474 --> 01:58:41,977
did not comply with the order of

3204
01:58:41,977 --> 01:58:43,878
finding of violation from the

3205
01:58:43,878 --> 01:58:45,878

3206
01:58:47,282 --> 01:58:50,282
But remained in violation until

3207
01:58:52,387 --> 01:58:54,322
JULY 15 when the city abated the

3208
01:58:54,322 --> 01:58:55,900
violation resulting in cost in

3209
01:58:55,900 --> 01:58:56,591
the amount of $225.

3210
01:58:56,591 --> 01:58:58,591
Those are awarded.

3211
01:58:59,794 --> 01:59:02,794
I also assess the administrative

3212
01:59:04,700 --> 01:59:05,400
costs of $411 for bringing the

3213
01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:07,400

3262
02:00:58,512 --> 02:00:59,914
Due to the respondent's failure

3263
02:00:59,914 --> 02:01:01,248

All right.

So other than the abatement,

3294
02:01:58,390 --> 02:01:59,741
everything else is still --

3295
02:01:59,741 --> 02:02:01,409

02:04:07,369 --> 02:04:08,360
to comply with the deadline set

3361
02:04:08,360 --> 02:04:08,670

3362
02:04:08,670 --> 02:04:09,871
the city requests that the

3363
02:04:09,871 --> 02:04:10,839

3367
02:04:15,477 --> 02:04:17,412

As you can see the notice is

3377
02:04:31,827 --> 02:04:33,662

3378
02:04:33,662 --> 02:04:34,629

And the city took care of that.

3383
02:04:43,710 --> 02:04:44,106
And that is all I have, sir.

3384

3396
02:05:10,332 --> 02:05:11,500
Therefore, I will award the

3416
02:06:14,997 --> 02:06:15,964
If compliance not achieved, then

3417
02:06:15,964 --> 02:06:18,167
authorize the city to enter upon

3418
02:06:18,167 --> 02:06:19,468

3437
02:06:46,528 --> 02:06:47,763

Based on the testimony and the

3550
02:10:08,530 --> 02:10:11,530

3551
02:10:12,401 --> 02:10:13,368

AUGUST 19, 2026.

3599

And neighborhood services

02:11:45,728 --> 02:11:47,730
maintains a copy of the entire

3602
02:11:49,765 --> 02:11:50,532
The photos taken truly and

3604

02:11:52,634 --> 02:11:54,503
the inspection.

3606
02:11:54,503 --> 02:11:55,637
Due to the respondent's failur

3607
02:11:55,637 --> 02:11:57,272
to comply with the deadline set

3608
02:11:57,272 --> 02:11:58,273
forth at the violation hearing,

3609
02:11:58,273 --> 02:12:01,210
the sfi requests the respondent

3610
02:12:01,210 --> 02:12:02,344
be ordered to pay the cost in

3611
02:12:02,344 --> 02:12:04,279

into compliance as previously

3614
02:12:08,417 --> 02:12:09,751
authorized.

3615
02:12:09,751 --> 02:12:12,540
And the city requests the

3616
02:12:12,540 --> 02:12:13,255
respondent pay administrative

3617
02:12:13,255 --> 02:12:13,789

the case.

3621
02:12:16,392 --> 02:12:18,427
So here is after the pool was

3622
02:12:18,427 --> 02:12:20,427
covered.

3623
02:12:21,300 --> 02:12:21,297
There is the posting of the

3624
02:12:21,297 --> 02:12:22,598
property.

3625
02:12:22,598 --> 02:12:24,166
And this is before the pool is

3626
02:12:24,166 --> 02:12:24,800
covered.

3627
02:12:24,800 --> 02:12:26,268
>> okay.

3628
02:12:26,268 --> 02:12:29,268
Respondent is not present this

3629
02:12:29,271 --> 02:12:29,505
morning, but the city has proper

3630
02:12:29,505 --> 02:12:31,505
notice.

3631
02:12:32,410 --> 02:12:34,309
I will make a finding that the

3632
02:12:34,309 --> 02:12:36,412
respondent did not comply with

3633
02:12:36,412 --> 02:12:36,678
the JULY 8 order finding

3634
02:12:36,678 --> 02:12:38,678
violation.

3635
02:12:39,548 --> 02:12:41,383
And that the property remained

3636
02:12:41,383 --> 02:12:43,485
in violation until AUGUST 19

3637
02:12:43,485 --> 02:12:46,485
when the city entered the

3638
02:12:46,856 --> 02:12:48,856
property and abated.

3639
02:12:48,858 --> 02:12:51,858
Therefore, I will order and

3640
02:12:52,861 --> 02:12:55,861
assess the abatement costs in

3641
02:12:56,365 --> 02:12:58,267

this case concerns the property

3652
02:13:31,701 --> 02:13:34,200
at 1512 southwest aledo lane.

3653
02:13:34,200 --> 02:13:34,937
A violation hearing was held on

3654
02:13:34,937 --> 02:13:36,405
JUNE 3, 2026.

3655
02:13:36,405 --> 02:13:37,505
Based on the evidence provided

3656
02:13:37,505 --> 02:13:38,841
on that date, the special

3657
02:13:38,841 --> 02:13:40,843

JUNE 10, 2026.

3661
02:13:46,515 --> 02:13:47,850
And if compliance not achieved,

3662
02:13:47,850 --> 02:13:50,485
then authorize the city to enter

3663
02:13:50,485 --> 02:13:52,540
upon the property to bring the

3664
02:13:52,540 --> 02:13:53,389

3665
02:13:53,389 --> 02:13:55,190
The following violations were

weeds over 12 inches.

3669
02:14:00,963 --> 02:14:01,897
Per neighborhood services

3670
02:14:01,897 --> 02:14:03,897

3671
02:14:05,834 --> 02:14:06,350

3673
02:14:07,470 --> 02:14:08,304
The city took steps to abate the

3674
02:14:08,304 --> 02:14:10,304

02:14:11,173 --> 02:14:11,741
The violation was abate and JULY

3676

the inspections.

3684
02:14:24,553 --> 02:14:26,355
Due to the respondent's failure

3685
02:14:26,355 --> 02:14:29,158
to comply with the deadline set

3686
02:14:29,158 --> 02:14:31,193
forth at the violation hearing,

3687
02:14:31,193 --> 02:14:32,828
the city requests that the

3688
02:14:32,828 --> 02:14:33,962

3692
02:14:39,468 --> 02:14:41,700
previously authorized.

3693
02:14:41,700 --> 02:14:43,138
The city requests that the

3694
02:14:43,138 --> 02:14:44,907

3695
02:14:44,907 --> 02:14:45,942

representing reasonable cost of

3697
02:14:46,442 --> 02:14:48,442
the investigation and

3698
02:14:49,110 --> 02:14:51,411

3699
02:14:52,470 --> 02:14:55,470
This picture is the posting.

3700
02:14:57,152 --> 02:14:57,385
This is before the city cut the

3701
02:14:57,385 --> 02:14:59,385
grass.

3702
02:15:03,626 --> 02:15:04,527
And this is after.

3703
02:15:04,527 --> 02:15:05,761
>> okay. Let's see.

3704
02:15:05,761 --> 02:15:06,428
The respondent is not present

3705
02:15:06,428 --> 02:15:08,428
this morning.

3706
02:15:10,132 --> 02:15:10,366
However, the city has proper

3707
02:15:10,366 --> 02:15:11,567
notice.

3708
02:15:11,567 --> 02:15:13,702
I find the respondent did not

3709
02:15:13,702 --> 02:15:15,638
comply with the order finding

3710
02:15:15,638 --> 02:15:17,139

3711
02:15:17,139 --> 02:15:19,107
violation hearing.

3712
02:15:19,107 --> 02:15:21,844
And remained in violation until

3713
02:15:21,844 --> 02:15:24,244
JULY 14, 2026, when the city

3714
02:15:24,280 --> 02:15:24,547
entered the property, abated is

violation.

3716
02:15:29,385 --> 02:15:32,985
So I will assess the abatement

3717
02:15:33,389 --> 02:15:34,390

And if not compliance not

3749
02:16:41,457 --> 02:16:41,723
The city took steps to abate the

3750
02:16:41,723 --> 02:16:43,723

3758
02:16:54,303 --> 02:16:54,736
as it appeared on the dates of

3759
02:16:54,736 --> 02:16:56,639
the inspections.

3760
02:16:56,639 --> 02:16:57,673
Due to the respondent's failure

3761
02:16:57,673 --> 02:16:59,141

3762
02:16:59,141 --> 02:17:00,409

3768
02:17:09,852 --> 02:17:11,852

And the city requests the city

3770
02:17:15,791 --> 02:17:16,459

I will grant all the relief

3922
02:23:26,629 --> 02:23:29,332

What's left?

Any public to be heard?

3927
02:23:37,600 --> 02:23:38,241
Sighing none, is there anything

3929
02:23:40,777 --> 02:23:41,377
