I'm just here presenting them for. So I'm going to try to answer any questions the best I can This this property is zoned B5 planning shopping center violation cited our section 74-146 local business tax imposed on March 20th 2025 The code employee the code compliance board found real sub LLC public supermarket, ink, waveh hair design, and other entities and or other entities in violation of section 74-146, local business tax imposed and gave until April 10th, 2025 to obtain scheduled required property inspection and obtain the business license tax receipt and bring the property into full compliance. On March 21, 2025, the board order was mailed certified mail to the property owner and the business owner, the certified mail, sent to the property owner was signed for and accepted on March 24, 2025. The board order was hand delivered to Linda and employee of Waves, Haired Design, and Business Location. Since the last hearing, several emails have been exchanged between Kathleen, Adel, BTR specialist, and Jessica Norris, Waves Salon owner regarding the business license, tax receipt and information needed from the property owner. On 416-2025, Barb emailed Jessica Norris informing her of today's hearing and suggested she attend the meeting to explain her situation to the board and the hearing is too imposeful. For19, 2025, a follow-up inspection showed the application process has not been completed. It is a staff's recommendation to the board to impose a fine, to impose a one-time fine of 250 per Florida state statues. This is the same case we had last time. Any questions? If it's a one-time fine and it's cheaper for them and then what's our recourse, should they still continue not to get it? I believe that from what I've gathered and I'm not 100% but I do believe that it has a yearly thing. So even though it's a one-time fine, it's a one-time fine for this year. Next year it'll be a one-time fine for that year, and it'll just continue until they finally come into compliance. A little repeat violation. Well, then, right. Is it fine up to $500? $500. Exactly. Thank you. Thank you. Didn't even put that in consideration. Can we get a motion? Is it open now or is it still closed? The property, I believe, is still operational. According to this, I believe they're still conducting business. Unfortunately, I don't have all the facts. We attacks. Yeah, I just they're operating without a business license still, so I would assume that's why we're still bringing them here because they are operating. Yes. No, no, I'm sorry. I was going to make a motion to impose. And just for the record, there's nobody here as a respondent or anybody from the public who'd like speak on this matter So Okay, do we have a motion on the table second Dan copper I Clip red Warren I Albert Schmanzki Aaron Dennis Kathleen Erin Dennis.

What I got there, and I believe somebody's here to speak about that. Would you like to speak on this manner, ma'am? Please approach. Do I? If you can wait till you get it up to microphone and speak right in the name of my name is Jennifer Bostic. I live at 425 Sheldon Street. I am the neighbor to that house. I've been there 28 years. The owner that she moved away, her children lived there, and then she passed. After that, the house went down. When those are open, like you said, he had the same pictures on the outside that I do. And I've called the code enforcement people several times. I've called the police department over 20 times since September, because they're squatters in the house. They're, when those are open, the doors are open. They're coming there two or three o'clock in the morning. They have parties and they leave. I thought in September that someone bought the property. And it was a LLC. I don't know who it is. I can't figure that out. But I was told by the police department that they do have a no-trust passing sanction there. So I would call they will come, they will make them leave, they will come back. I don't feel safe in my home because it's so many people, different types of people that are coming and living in the house. I don't know if they're dead or not in there. I have cameras. I do see it. That's all I know they're in there. Just last week I called twice. I told the police officers, I know you're tired of coming. I'm tired of calling. I don't know what else to do. So when I called the code enforcement, office said to me there was having a hearing. I don't know what you can do. I don't know who owns it, but I'm just tired, tired of wondering if someone is dead over there, or if they're doing drugs drugs over there or what's going on over there. I pay my property tax. I'm sure they're going to do something. That's all I have to say. My question would be to you is what would be the maximum fine we could give out to get their attention to clean up this mess. Okay. Unfortunately, Barb doesn't have anything in here currently. Am I allowed to interject? It's where? Am I allowed to interject? They haven't been found in violation yet since it's new business. Oh, so yes, so we don't have anything scheduled yet. Okay. So let me ask this LLC, PGSRings do we have any idea who they are or we had any contact with them we don't know do we know anything about them? I unfortunately again this isn't my case I don't I'm not really sure can answer a lot of the questions I don't I haven't done any of the legwork being that this is barbs cases, all of these. So unfortunately I don't really have the answers for you. I'm sure that there'll be, I don't know if she has anything in her internal notes that state anything, how far she's dug into this. Yeah, I just don't have the Did she have a recommendation? Yes, she does in the finding. She has a $20 per day. On here, just because this is brand new, yeah, we don't have anything. She doesn't have any fines in here designated for what she was doing. In the order that I have here, it says the response should bring the property and the compliance with the code provision cited above by 1 p.m. on May 8th. And they should notify the code inspector and request a reinspection to determine the compliance. If the code compliance board finds that the violations were not corrected by the date set Fourth above, a fine of $20 per day per violation may be imposed. Next. The finance board finds that the violations were not corrected by the date set for the bug a fine of $20 per day per violation may be imposed not to exceed the maximum of 15,000 Here's a whole another part of the script. I didn't even read nipologist You can clear a whole part of it. There's like two pages So they have time to cure the defects and that would be the date up until May 8th. I'm going to let Jason read through the rest of the file. He'll be able to encapsulate it for you and then based on his recommendation which is likely going to be the May 8th date. They would have until then to come into compliance and then we can go forward with the motion from there. And then obviously things will begin to accrue if don't come into compliance. I respect the ball roll. Yeah, I didn't even realize I'm so sorry. So yeah, she's got an extra like page wide. I asked my first question because I know I'm sorry. I didn't see that. So for the record, I ended up ending on the subsection 4. And so I'm going to continue with subsection 6 and move on through the rest of the script that is here in front of me. 6 is to place our allow to be placed upon the streets, alleys, curbing, or sidewalks of any city, any rubbish, sweeping debris, trash, or waste materials of any kind, that might be a menace to traffic, either vehicular or pedestrian, or that might endanger the proper operation of the city's sewer or drainage system. Subsection eight here says, allow private tree contractors to place tree trimmings or trees removed by such persons at the street for city collection. On November 4th, 2024, Code Compliance received a complaint regarding people living in this home without water and electric, trash and debris all over the property and general property maintenance. This property was being monitored by other city departments for other activities. On November 24, 2024, an inspection was conducted. And the property was found to be in violation of furniture being stored in the front yard, trash cans, and public view, mixed piles of trash and debris blocking the sidewalks. This pile of debris includes tree debris garbage at curb sides for a collection on non-pickup days. The structure was also not secure. Landscaping was overgrown and the sections of fence falling down. courtesy notice was mailed to the owner on 12,2, 2024 and forming them of violations on the property, including the property being occupied without property utilities, trash and debris at curbside that needed to be hauled away and a business license tax received for rental property. The property owner did not contact co-compliance in response to the warning letter. On February 21st, 2025, and notice of violation was mailed, certified mail to the property owner with the initial compliance date of March 11th, 2025, and has not been delivered. A copy was also posted on the property on February 21st, 2025. On April 16th, 2025, a follow-up inspection show the property needs to be, The property needs to be moved, trash and debris needs to be removed, outdoor storage of furniture, clothes, baskets, full of household items, aluminum soft-fit, tight materials, trash cans, property is unsecure, front door is standing open, fence is not been repaired and trash at curb side un-non-pick up days. This property will not receive trash or yard debris pickup to, to, there's no utility service for the property. Now it's the staff's recommendation to the board to find PGSR holdings LLC and or entity and violation of section 26-914 subsection 13 4 subsection 5 subsection 6 7 66-30. Section 6, Section 7, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8, Section 8 at a subsequent hearing of $20 per day until the property is brought into full compliance, fine not to exceed $15,000. There's all your answers. $20 per day per violation? Yes. Okay, yes. So, I told you, how many for days? See how many of those are in the collection? How many for violations? I made a total violation? Let's go back and count them. 160. 1,2,34567,83510. What event? 13, I believe. 13 times 20. It's 260. I think we can do 250 per day. Up to 15,000 was the max. Yes. Okay, so they hit that in two months. Now I do have a quick question for you, Grant. Are we able to set a date sooner than was May 8th? I think you said are we able to set a date sooner than that? When they would need to be in compliance back? This seems like a pretty extreme situation. And for just this like nameless LLC and the House is falling into complete disrepair. Right, we still have to give them time to cure. This is our hearing on it. They've gotten the one notice. However, we still have to follow the rules of due process, given that time to make the corrections. And if they don't, after May 8th, the following co-compliance board. That's when we can find them in non-compliance and start the funds. Okay. And I'm just going to move the board. Yeah, but it was posted to be made. So would we, okay, I saw a flexibility at the next meeting. I'd like to make a motion. Can I have the motion? I would like to make a motion. Just make sure you speak into the microphone because there is a little bit of conversation going on. I want to make sure it's recorded. to make a motion. I would like to modify what was recommended that we accept the recommendation, but that the fine should be $50 a day, not $20 a day. What he's recommending is that they find him $20 a day. That they find them $20 a day after May 8th. We can't say ahead of time that it's that let them know that it'll be $50 a day. I do believe that the state statute states that you can only go up to $250 a day. I said 50. That's total. No, we do in per violation. That's why we cut it down to the $20 a day. So the total is $250 a day. See, I misunderstood that. But you know, happens again if this is a change. So it's not $20 a day. No, it's per violations. It's per violation. And 13 violations, which will come out to $260. Got it. Okay, so that's states that you I wasn't aware of that $250. Yeah. Okay. So maximum of $250 for the first fine. And then if we find them in repeat violations, then we can go. That's when we can. Okay. Okay. Okay, so let's have a clean motion. Make a motion that is accepted with the personal assistance of $10,000 a day for violation. So the motion is to accept staff's recommendation. Correct? Correct. Okay. Second. Who's the first? I'm Nancy. I'll put it in. Okay. Clifford Warren. Albert Schaminski. Aaron Dennis. Kathleen Brown. Ruth Harris. Yes. Motion to carries. The respondents are further ordered to contact the code inspector to verify a complaint with order and to also be aware that respondents have the right to appeal the order when it comes out within 30 days. Any violation of the same code by the respondents within five years from the date of this order shall be treated as a repeat violation of which a final of $500 per day may be imposed. No further cases? Thank you. Thank you. Any discussion among the board members? No. Okay. Next meeting will be held on May 22nd, 2025. And this meeting on that note then. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Wait, wait, It's not May 15, the third Wednesday. Um, third Thursday. Oh, the truth has gotten me 20 seconds. It is not. It was asked to be moved for purposes of another meeting being scheduled on that day. Thank you. You're welcome. All right. It was actually. It was. Yeah. I just go.
