are
on

chambers.
Please

The
Municipal
Code
Enforcement
board
consists
of
seven
members
who
are
appointed
by
the
City
Council
we
serve
voluntarily.
It
is
this
board's
intention
to
promote,
protect
and
improve
the
health,
safety
and
welfare
of
the
citizens
of
Clearwater,
but
by
providing
this
equitable,
effective
and
inexpensive
method
of
enforcing
certain
codes
within
the
city,
the
Board
considers
new
business
items
in
two
parts.
First,
the
violation
and
the
affirmative
relief,
formal
rules
of
evidence
do
not
apply.
B
Each
side
is
limited
to
15
minutes.
The
board
may
grant
additional
time.
All
proceedings
will
be
conducted
in
a
calm
civil
manner.
Individuals
who
conduct
themselves
otherwise
will
be
asked
to
leave.
If
necessary,
they
will
be
escorted
from
the
chambers.
Now
I
ask
all
who
plan
to
speak
to

a
compliance
date
of
916
2018
I
did
not
receive
the
green

When

only
been

did
go
by

today
and
they
have
started
the
painting.
So
I
am
requesting
compliance

The

date
of
11:20
to
2018,
and
the
certified
mail
was
received
on

2018.
These
pictures
were
taken
back
in
October.
You
can
see
the
rotted
wood,
the
mildew,
the
peeling
paint
in
the
front
of
the
house.
F
There
was
actually
several
violations
at
the
time,
which
is
what
this
picture
is
just
showing
the
whole
property.
All
the
violations
were
taken
care
of,
except
for
of
the
exterior
surfaces
and
that's
just
showing
you
the
address
1151
again
on
November
26.
It
was
still
in
violation
again
on
January
10th.
It
was
still
in
violation.
I
F
There's
one
violation
here
and
we're
requesting
compliance
honor
before
I
March,
29th
of
2019
or
a
fine
of
$150
per
day.
For
each
day
the
violation
continues
to
exist.
We
are
asking
the
board
to
authorize
the
following
after
three
months
from
the
record
ation
date
of
such
lien.
If
the
fines
and

the
City

Office
is
authorized
to
foreclose,
collect
or
settle
such
lien
using
any

available

the
law.
Compliance
can
be
met
for
the
exterior
surfaces
by
pressure
washing
in
or
painting
the
entire
structure.
F
I
Gonna
take
longer
than
that
we
actually
just
took
over
our
own
of
the
property.
My
grandmother
was
living
there.
My
father
left
it
to
my
sister
and
I
in
the
will
when
he
passed
away
six
years
ago.
She
just
left
a
year
ago
because
she's
in
a
nursing
home
now
we
thought
she
was
going
to
come
back
as
far
as
the
wood.
The
roof
has
to
be
done
so
that
whole
thing
has
to
be
done.
I
So
it's
going
to
take
us
longer
the
termites,
so
we
got
to
get
it
tinted
which
we're
trying
to
get
done
within
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
but
as
far
as
the
roof,
that's
going
to
take
us
a
little
bit
of
time
to
do
a
couple
of
months,
I'm
trying
to
move
in
in
June
myself,
so
I'm
hoping
and
praying
that
we
can
have
everything
done.
I
work,
night
shift.
So
when
I'm
calling
miss
Fletcher
and
she's,
calling
me
back,
I'm
asleep
I'm,
not
up
8:00
to
4:00.
B
I
Trying
to
myself
personally
to
move
into
the
home
by
June
of
this
year,
so
where
my
sister
and
I
are
working
on
getting
someone.
We
got
a
couple
of
people
we're
just
trying
to
find
the
best
option,
because
we
both
have
our
own
separate
places
that
we
live.
It
now,
so
we're
paying
bills
there
and
trying
to
get
the
home
ready
for
me
to
move
into
she's.
B
K
B
H
Living
in
there

the
respondent

correct

Okay,

the
time

the
board
may
order
fine
about
$150
per

per

For

after

bouncing
thieves
remain

The
City
Attorney's

4.3
case
won
7-1
9,
find
respondents,
re
mets
properties
at
1616,
Gulf
to
Bay
Boulevard,
in
violation
of
code
for
temporary
signs
and
issue,
an
order
with
the
compliance
deadlines
and
fine
if
compliance
has
not
met
his
re
Mets
here
is
just
a
declaration.
It's
not
so
I'll.
Take
a
first
motion.
I
moved.
L
Hello
board
Daniel
Knight,
signed
inspector
with
the
city
today,
I'll
be
presenting
case
17-19
for
1616
gulf
debate,
boulevard
for
temporary
sidewalk,
sign
violation.
The
city
is
asking
compliance
honor
before
march
27th
of
2019
or
a
fine
of
a
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
per
day.
For
each
day
the
violation
continues
to
exist.
We
are
asking
the
board
to
authorize
the
following
after
three
months
of
the
recordation
date
of
such
lien.
L
Here's
some
I
had
brought
this
property
in
front
of
the
board
year
so
ago
for
other
signage
violations,
but
if
we
underneath
their
freestanding
sign,
it
says
CBD.
That
is
the
free.
That
is
the
sidewalk
sign
that
is
in
violation.
There
is
no
permit
for
it.
It
does
look
like
it
would
be
an
allowable
design,
but
also
under
table
3
1806
1a.
That
sidewalk
sign
would
need
to
be
out
in
front
of
their
business
unit
no
further
than
2
feet.
It
can't
be
out
underneath
that
freestanding
sign.
L
It
needs
to
be
over
by
their
business
unit.
This
was
on
1217.
The
reason
why
this
case
took
a
little
bit
longer
than
expected
was
because,
as
you
can
see
in
this
picture,
they
did
decide
to
wreak
some
feather
signs.
So
I
cited
them
for
that.
Just
in
case
that
didn't
come
into
compliance.
I
wanted
to
bring
both
cases
forward
at
the
same
time,
but
the
feather
signs
did
come
into
compliance.
L
They've
been
taken
down,
but
if
you
look
behind
it,
you
can
still
see
that
sidewalk
sign
is
still
there
on
December
17th,
and
then
this
was
on
January,
7th
and
then
again,
February
23rd,
so
I've
spoken
to
the
business
owner,
I've
handed
him
the
sidewalk
sign
application.
He
knows
it's
in
violation.
I
have
not
spoke
to
the
property
owner.
All
the
mail
gets
returned,
so
I
have
to
post
the
property
with
the
affidavits
CBD.
B

D

To
enter
an
order
requiring
the
respondent

correct
a

find
respondents,
Veronica's,
sermon,
1943,
Overbrook,
Avenue,
Henry
did
repeat,
violation
of
code
for
parking
lot,
surfaces,
exterior
surfaces
and
clean
roof
and
issue
and
order
with
the
compliance
deadline
and
fine
of
compliance
is
not
met,
is
Veronica.
Here.
This
is
a
repeat.
A
M
M
Definition
of
a
repeat
violation
means
that
a
violation
of
a
provision
of
a
code
by
person
who
has
been
previously
found
through
a
code
enforcement
board
or
any
other
quasi
judicial
or
judicial
process
to
have
violated
or
who
has
admitted
violating
the
same
provisions
within
5
years
prior
to
the
violation.
Notwithstanding,
the
violations
occur
at
different
locations
on
9
26
of
last
year
case
1
20-18
for
the
property
at
301.
North
Madison
was
right
before
this
board.
M
By
myself,
the
property
owner
Veronica
sermon
was
found
a
violation
of
the
code
sections,
the
same
code,
sections
that
I'm
presenting
to
today,
along
with
some
additional
x',
the
property
at
1943
Overbrook
has
the
same
owner
and
the
same
violations
that
exist
at
this
location.
The
violations
are
now
is
considered
to
be
repeat
and
are
subject
to
immediate
fines
just
for
refresher.
This
is
what
the
home
that
I
brought
in
September
of
2018,
and
this
is
what
it
looks
like
today,.
M
For
1943
overbook,
the
notice
of
violation
was
sent
on
the
4th
and
the
patna.
The
property
was
posted
with
a
request
for
hearing
on
the
9th
of
January
on
the
4th
I.
This
is
the
property
at
1943
Overbrook.
You
can
see
the
deterioration
on
the
walls
underneath
the
windows.
The
driveway
is
in
disrepair
again,
nice
close-up
for
the
windows
at
the
doorway.
The
the
archway
you
can
see
is
just
kind
of
being
held
on
by
those
two
posts
there.
The
wood,
underneath,
as
you
walk
up
to
the
door,
is
completely
rotted.
The
awnings
are
mess.
M
M
This
is
my
posting
on
the
9th
for
the
property
scene.
Nothing
has
changed
from
there
on
the
29th
I
went
back,
nothing
has
changed
on
the
4th
of
February.
My
postings
are
still
there
on
the
12th
of
February.
My
postings
are
still
there,
the
15th.
They
were
taken
down
and
then
I
posted
the
property
on
the
15th
I'm,
going
back
to
the
property
on
the
19th
I.
Think
it's
changed
since
and
then
on
the
25th
and
the
utilities
are.
H
M
D
M
M
And
I
actually
received
a
call
for
a
overgrowth
at
that
property
at
1943.
We
actually
brought
it
to
the
board
last
month
for
an
abatement.
We
did
abate
it
and
she
actually
paid
the
the
lien
for
the
abatement.
That's
about
the
only
known
instance
I
mean
she
will
sign
for
her
cards,
except
for
this
one.
She
is
paid
for
the
lien,
but
she
has
never
responded
to
anything
that
I've
never
talked
to
her.
Never
and
from
what
I
can
understand.
The
neighbors
have
not
been
able
to
get
ahold
of
her
either.
N
N
M
G
D
O
Had
one
and
two
combined
under
the
initial
out
violation,
so
that's
why
we
just
want
to
make
sure
for
repeat
purposes
that
were
only
okay,
finding
301.
Why
don't
you
were
combined?
Well,
the
violations
remain
the
same.
They
were
just
brought
in
as
three
instead
of
four
so
for
repeat
purposes.
One
and
two
is
combined.
So
you're
gonna
have
three
separate
violations
per
day
for
each
day
that
you
determine
any.
B
G
H
A
C
O
Will
re,
assuming
that
they
find
the
days
of
violation
that
should
be
instead
of
$2,000
per
day,
will
do
it
as
1500
will
just
change
the
amount,
but
it
depends
on
how
many
days
we
can
do
the
math.
You
don't
have
to
make
a
determination,
just
the
amount
per
day
per
violation.
So
if
it's
54
days
times
1500
instead
of
2,000,
am.
B
B
O
D
G
H
H
Within
30
days
of
their
orders
postmortem
after
three
months
from
the
recording
date
of
such
lien,
if
the
Bison
fees
remain
unpaid,
the
City
Attorney's
Office
is
authorized
to
foreclose,
collect
or
settle.
Such
Lane
is
any
link
or
equitable
remedies
available
under
the
law.
If
the
respondent
repeats
the
violation,
the
board
may
order
fined
up
to
it'll,
be
different,
then
I'm
sure
a
$500
each
take
which
we're
at
now.

Under

we
met

We
met
for

had
the

correct
all
outstanding

To
find
the
respondent
violation
of
the
city
of
Clearwater,
coders
referred
to
in
the
affidavit
in
this
case,
got
arrested.
Oh
I
know
getting
to
it.
I
moved
to
enter
an
order
requiring
the
responded
to
correct
the
violations
honor
before
and
that
date
was
March
27
2009
teen.
If
the
respondent
does
not
comply
within
the
time
specified,
the
board
may
order
a
fine
of
$150
per
day
per
violation
for
each
day.
Each
violation
continues
to
exist
after
three
months
from
the
recognition
date
of
such
lien.

Here
we
have
one
violation
for
an
unsafe
structure,
citing
section

1502
a
for
property
maintenance
requirements,
3-15
o2o3
b2
for
public

and
section

2017
to
7
2018
3:23
of
2018,
all
by
my
predecessor,
the
previous
inspector
and
then
on
12:30
I'm,
sorry,

2018.
By
myself.
Compliance
states
were
from
the
date
of
receipt
of
each
notice
7
days
to
obtain
a
permit
and
subsequently
20
days
to
complete
the
work.
K
Affidavits
of
posting
were
done
on
2
9
2018
by
the
previous
inspector
and
on
January
7th
of
this
year.
By
myself,
a
building
permit
was
completed
in
May
2000
18
for
a
sewer
cut
and
cap
that
was
ahead
of
demolition
and
then
the
building
permit
for
done
demolition
was
applied
for,
however,
it
was
not
obtained,
as
revisions
are
still
needed
on
that.
Permit.
K
Is
this
it
is,
but
it's
probably
not
the
one
you're
thinking
of
I
brought
I
did
bring
another
one
on
Turner
Street.
They
was
also
in
the
back.
This
one
was
a
structure
fire
back
on
January
31st
2017.
This
is
the
photo
from
the
previous
inspector
on
620
2018.
This
is
my
photo.
You
can
see
the
damage
from
the
the
fire
itself.
You
have
electrical
wires
hanging
down
on
the
right
side,.
K
Again
on
620,
you
can
see,
parts
of
the
roof
are
missing,
have
been
burned
away.
The
siding
has
been
burned
away,
there's
a
lot
of
structural
damage.
The
doors
are
open
to
for
anybody
to
go
into,
and
then
the
deck
also
does
not
have
any
hangs
up
top
and
that's
a
view
of
the
inside
of
the
home.
The
old
Hall
is
burned
out.
K
K
Compliance
to
be
met
for
the
unsafe
structure,
repair
or
replace
any
areas
where
deterioration
or
damage
exists
to
meet
current
florida
building
codes.
Complete
demolition
of
the
structure
is
also
an
option
for
compliance
and
all
work
must
be
properly
funded
and
we
are
requesting
compliance
honor
before
March
27,
2009
teen,
or
we
are
asking
the
board
to
authorize
the
city
of
Clearwater
to
enter
onto
the
property,
to
correct
the
violations
by
any
means
necessary
and
any
reasonable
cost
to
be
applied
as
liens
against
the
property
after
three
months
from
the
recordation
date
of
such
lien.
D
You
go
back
to
the
first
screen.
You
showed
that
one
there,
no
so
I'm,
confused
and
I'm
confused
with
how
the
city
is
approaching
this.
First
of
all,
you
don't
put
that
verbiage
out
here,
you're
guided
to
put
out
what
you
have
there
I
understand
that
the
man
has
applied
for
a
permit
to
cap
the
sewer
and
that
network
was
done,
also
apply
for
everything,
and
now
he's
basically
told
you
when
you
can't
go
by
that
I
understand
that
he
has
no
interest
in
the
property.
D
Why,
then,
our
two
options
given
to
what
can
we
do
done
to
rectify
the
problem
when
all
the
intention
is
for
it
to
be
destroyed?
What
just
one
thing
all
we
need
is
one:
you
can't
have
two
you're
conflicting
you're,
given
a
permit
for
the
person
to
go
ahead
and
cap
off
the
sewer
you
issued
a
permit.
That
needs
be
rectified
because
there's
errors
on
the
permit
to
demolish,
and
yet
you
come
back
with
why
you
can
go
ahead
and
fix
it
up.
Well,.
O
Those
are
the
options
that
are
available
to
come
into
compliance.
Those
are
you
have
to.
We
have
to
list
what
you
need
to
do
to
come
in
compliance.
If
there's
more
than
one
option,
you
have
to
place
what
those
options
are.
You
don't
necessarily
always
have
to
demolish
the
property
to
come
in
compliance
you
can
still
spend.
It
may
not
be
financially
the
right
move,
but
you
can
still
do
it.
That's
an
option.
D
It
makes
me
it
just
answered
a
time
schedule
of
to
get
in
this
problem
ever
resolved,
but
it's
it's
a
choice.
Okay,
so
then,
what
is
it
that
the
permit
was
lacking?
That
the
city
couldn't
have
said?
Tear
down
I
mean
they're,
not
isn't.
Building
I
can
see
real
constraints
and
concerns
about
something
built
new
that
needs
all
the
building
requirements
and
all
that,
but
to
tear
something
down.
God's
sake
get
the
thing
down.
It's.
K
D
H
I
would
think
that
they
recapping
would
be
the
immediate
need
because
of
the
health
roosters
and
the
the
gas
coming
out
of
it,
and
that
has
to
be
taken
care
of
first
before
the
tear
down
and
he
took
care
of
it.
Okay,
so
I
can
see.
I
can
understand
what
he's
doing
the
method
in
this
man
is
because
that
is
immediate.
That
is
a
health
concern.
The
raising
of
the
property
is
not
a
health
concern,
so
it
is
two
separate
matters.
I
can
understand
you.
B
B
K
B
B
A
No
question
I'll
make
a
motion
when
you're
done.
Do
we
hear
your
recommendation.
B
B
A
In
in
order
requiring
the
respondent
to
correct
the
violations
on
or
before
March
27th
2019,
if
the
respondent
does
not
comply
within
the
time
specified,
the
city
may
take
all
reasonable
actions,
including
demolition,
which
were
required
to
bring
the
property
in
compliance
and
charge
the
respondent
with
the
reasonable
cost,
which
will
become
a
lien
on
the
property
after
three
months
from
the
recordation
date
of
such
lien.
If
the
costs
remain
unpaid,
the
city's
Attorney's
Office
is
authorized
to
foreclose,
collect
or
settle
such
lien
using
any
legal
or
equitable
remedies
available
under
the
law.

P
The
building
is
not
a
vendor,
slurred
I
owned
this
building
and
we
maintain
it
all
the
time.
Last
year
we
had
a
tough
time.
My
wife
was
diagnosed
with
cancer
and
we
didn't.
We
were
paying
attention
to
my
wife,
but
I
had
somebody
to
maintain
it
and
inspector
Julie.
She
had
my
phone
number
in
many
occasions.
She
called
me
and
she
said
somebody
dumped
trash
on
the
property.
I
said
somebody
was
in
the
same
day
to
take
care
of
it.
We
have
a
graffiti
on
many
occasion.
P
She
had
my
cell
phone
and
I
said
somebody
painted
the
same
day,
but
eventually
I
have
the
tax
office.
This
is
my
record
here
and
she
sent
it
to
old
atlas.
We
have
and
I
never
receive
anything
from
her
and
I
know
that
she
called
me
I
said,
and
this
evening's
remember
she
said
he
changed
it
out.
As
I
said,
I
did,
and
this
is
well.
A
P
Is
a
text
record
I'm
sure
as
of
January,
and
this
is
a
letter
I
received
from
inspector
Phillips
as
of
January,
17,
I,
guess,
yeah
and
the
choice
she
send
it
to
their
own
address
I,
never
deceive
any
mail
from
her
I
mean
and
I
told
her
one
I
said
we
changed
the
address.
We
moved
to
a
different
location
and
she
had
my
number.
My
number
is
on
the
building
anyway,
and
the
property
is
not
abandoned.
I
have
a
lot
of
assets
in
the
back
of
it.
P
P
P
We
had
some
problem.
You
know
the
area
is
not
that
great
over
there,
but
it's
getting
better
right
now
and
every
time
she
caught
me
within
probably
couple
hour,
I
sent
somebody
to
take
care
of
the
problem.
One
time
there
is
a
they
dump.
A
lot
of
trash
here
and
I
said
couple
people
they
clean
it
within
the
same
hour.
Does
she
know
about
it?
So
I,
don't
know
why
she
didn't
call
me
or
she
sent
the
correct
information,
even
sure
it
shows,
on
the
tax
record
my
correct
address.
P
She
sent
it
decided
to
send
it
to
the
logger
at
asami.
I
never
receive
anything
by
accident.
I
was
there
on
Sunday
I
mean
I,
had
a
couple
of
people
to
come
and
clean
the
property,
and
we
found
the
notice
at
the
door-
that's
the
own
in
here.
Otherwise
that
won't
be
here
today,
I'm,
not
above
them
all
sir
I
have
property,
I
own
property,
I
mean
and
I
take
care
of
that.
Okay.
B
P
Either
no
I
had
I
had
kept
a
few
interests
and
renting
the
property,
but
the
city
they
deny
them
because
they
said
they
need
the
zoning
change
and
it's
costing
forty
fifty
thousand
dollars.
So
my
daughter,
hopefully
she's
second
year
in
law
school
in
his
bill,
I'm
hoping
to
develop
property
issue,
but
their
law
office
where
she
graduate
next
year.
R
Good
afternoon
for
Julie
Phillips
inspections,
specialist
for
the
city
of
Clearwater,
it's
correct,
however,
I'm
not
quite
sure
what
he
date
he
gave
you
this
case
was
actually
brought
to
the
board
September
26
of
2018.
It
was
for
a
lot
clearing
and
an
abandoned
building.
I
did
speak
to
the
owner
and
he
is
correct.
He
went
out
and
took
care
of
the
violation
immediately.
Unfortunately,
you
cannot
do
that.
One
abandoned
building
the
utilities
have
been
off
since
2007.
R
Of
course,
my
postings
were
there
for
the
owner
of
record.
We
always
use
Pinellas
County
property
appraiser
for
the
address.
So
when
somebody
calls
me
and
says
change
my
address,
that's
technically
not
our
responsibility.
When
you
move
you
get
in
touch
with
the
property
appraiser's
office
which
is
connected
to
our
database,
so
I,
don't
just
go
put
any
random
address
in
there.
R
It's
the
owners,
responsibility,
as
everyone
should
know
again,
my
postings
that
always
had
that
same
address
on
there
when
I
continually
visit
the
property,
it's
starting
to
deteriorate
around
the
roof
which
I
haven't
issued
any
new
notices
for
because
it
is
abandoned
and
it
has
been
for
sale
for
a
very
long
time
again.
It's
current
state
in
September
it
is
for
sale
again.
This
is
showing
that
the
water
has
been
turned
off
since
2007.
It
has
not
been
occupied.
R
Sorry,
that's
kind
of
a
sideways
picture,
and
that's
basically,
what
I
have
you
really
can't
bring
an
abandoned
property
into
come
once
again
until
the
utilities
are
on
someone's
in
there?
You
demolish
it
or
you
do
something
with
it.
It
can't
just
sit
there
baking
forever.
According
to
our
ordinance.
Mr.
H
R
N
Just
so
we're
clear
about
what
we're
just
I
think
what
the
reasons
I
asked
the
questions
I
asked.
This
is
the
board's
order
back
from
back
in
September
what
the
board
ordered
the
violator
to
do
to
correct
the
violation
was
and
I
quote,
shall
respondent
shall
occupy
the
property
and
half
the
utilities,
turned
on
or
sell
the
property
to
or
raise
the
property,
replace
that
area
with
the
sod
and
maintain
as
a
vacant
parcel
to
comply
with
the
sections
of
the
code
by
the
deadline
of
October
26
2018.
N
So
the
board
essentially
ordered
three
independent
things:
kind
of
to
your
point
on
the
prior
case
about
what
we
can
do
they
can.
He
could
turn
utilities
on
and
going
which
he
said
he
didn't
do.
He
can
sell
it
what
she
said
he
hasn't
done
or
he
can
demolish
raise
a
property
in
the
place
by
the
side
which
he
also
hasn't
done
so
I
mean
in
a
row
up
I,
just
kind
of
want
to
lay
the
framework.
So
we
frame
the
issues
up
about
why
the
city
thinks
he's
doing
important
he's
not
important.
Thank
you.
N
B
P
Mention
about
the
service
as
of
January
2019
I
have
my
address
change
with
the
county,
and
this
is
that
I
already
provide
you
with
a
copy
of
it
there,
and
this
letter
is
dated
on
January
17,
so
I'll
tell
you,
she
did
not
send
it
to
the
correct
address
and
yes,
people
dumped
stuff
in
it,
but
as
soon
as
she
called
me,
I
sent
somebody
within
a
couple
hour.
I
tried
to
lease
this
property
on
many
occasion
the
city
decline.
P
It
I
tried
to
do
a
lot
of
stuff
in
it
when
I'm
gonna
turn
the
power
on
for
what
I
made
for
no
reason,
I
try
all
I
had
somebody
Park
in
their
truck
over
there
and
maintain
it
all
the
time
he
had
the
power
on
after
couple
years.
I
said
he
said
you
need
to
move
your
truck.
Although
I
mean
he
didn't,
even
it's
not
a
storage.
He
used
to
park
it
at
night,
so
I
mean
the
city
is
now
working
with
me
I'm
trying
to
work
with
them.
P
P
H
P
P
O
P
O
D
Here's
the
problem:
they
have
routines
methods
and
procedures
that
they
are
required
to
follow
their
database,
as
mr.
Phillips
told
us
just
spoke
before,
is
the
property
appraiser,
not
the
tax
collector
and
the
property
appraiser
how
they
get
their
database.
We
don't
know,
but
that's
what
she
has
to
do.
She
doesn't
have
that
option.
You
can
tell
it
doesn't
matter,
you
go
and
check
your
property
and
that's
good
and
the
whole
areas
have
been
improving
theirs.
D
Okay,
but
the
problem
is
by
all
the
qualifications
that
are
by
code
and
regulation,
say
that
your
property
is
abandoned,
it's
not
being
used
okay
and
without
and
they
have
rules.
How
did
you
determine
that?
Well,
there
are
no
utilities.
So
if,
if
there
are
people
there,
there's
typically
utilities,
you
don't
say
for
anything.
So,
okay-
and
you
said
why
should
you
hook
up
to
electricity
or
the
water
because
there's
nobody
there
to
use
it
you're
confirming
it.
So
the
problem
is,
you
need
to
come
and
compliant
now.
You
know
for
no
other
reason.
D
D
P
The
ground,
let
me
tell
you
one
thing:
I,
submit
a
plan
about
three
years
ago
to
build
a
garage
over
there
and
this
they
kept
it
in
the
City
Hall
for
almost
three
four,
their
part
I'm
in
building
a
pattern
almost
a
year,
and
after
that
they
told
me
they
lost
it,
and
they
referred
me.
My
check
for
$1,100
after
almost
13
months
and
I
have
to
customer
actually
interested
in
leasing
the
property
to
open
a
garage,
and
they
deny
them
so
I.
Don't
know
what
else
to
do
on
me
where.

O
You're
making
a
decision
whether
to
accept
the
affidavit
of
non-compliance
or
compliance
based
on
the
information
that's
presented
before
you,
one
of
the
things
is,
is
that
the
inspector
is
saying
and
an
affidavit
that
it's
not
hasn't
met
what
you
ordered
before.
So,
if
somebody
comes
up
and
says
no
in
fact,
I
have
done
it.
That
would
be
something
to
consider,
although
normally
what
we
see
in
that
situation
is
failure
to
tell
the
inspector
that
it
was
done,
so
they
didn't
have
an
opportunity
to
reinfect,
but
mostly
I
mean
there
are
other
opportunities.
O
You
could
conceivably
say.
No,
we're
not
going
to
accept
it
at
this
time.
We
want
to
wait
for
this
information
of
that
information
or
Ubaid
decision
like
you
did
today
that
there
were
three
options
they
weren't
met
and
that
you're
going
to
accept
a
non-compliance.
I
mean
you're,
basically
following
through
with
your
order,
so
you've
already
made
a
decision
on
this
case
now,
you're
just
wondering
whether
your
decision
has
been
met
in
the.
O

G

S

B

Thank
you.
So,
ultimately,
my
client
Baymont
East,
bought
this
property
on
Baymont
Street
approximately
two
to
three
years
ago.
It
is
in
a
short
term
district
that
allows
short
term
rentals
when
they
purchased
it.
It
was
a
long
term
right.
There
were
long
term
residential
leases
on
the
property.
As
a
result,
you
have
to
go
through
zoning
to
change
it,
even
though
her
the
zoning
short
terms
allowed,
since
they
were
using
it
as
long
term
zoning.
You
can't
switch
to
short
term
without
going
ahead
and
applying
to
switch
the
use
of
the
property.
S
My
clients
hired
Northside
engineering,
as
this
was
proceeding
and
spent
about
$30,000
to
do
it.
What
we
were
trying
to
do
is
just
get
the
business
tax
receipt
during
this
process
that
was
accomplished
took
several
months.
We
were
hoping
it
was
going
to
be
done,
November
17
it
wasn't.
It
took
longer
to
just
go
through
the
zoning
process.
Throughout
this
process,
we've
been
in
touch
with
with
the
city
throughout
you
know
they
have
known.
We've
been
trying
to
be
compliant
as
we
went
forward
after
that.
What
delayed
us
obtaining
the
business
tax
receipt.
S
That
was
that
we
needed
a
vacation
rental
license
from
the
state
of
Florida
and
multiple
applications
were
made
to
the
state
of
Florida.
There
were
two
adjacent
properties
and
there
was
four
individual
units
and
then
five
in
this
one,
and
it
just
created
confusion
which
extended
the
amount
of
time
that
it
took
for
us
to
ultimately
get
the
vacation
rental
license
from
the
state
of
Florida,
but
we
did
get
it
and
in
the
interim
we
were
making.
We
had
contacted
mr.
S
Foligno
and
Terry
to
Galt
and
everyone
along
the
way
that
we
needed
to
be
so.
They
knew
that
we
were
proceeding
and
trying
to
accomplish
what
we
were
trying
to
do
as
we
went
along
last
August
or
so
we
had
a
meeting
we
kind
of
outlined
to
the
city,
all
the
different
steps
and
procedures
we've
moved
forward
to
get
this
done.
There
was
understanding
that
they
would
recommend
that
this
would
be
reduced.
The
administrative
cost
because
of
all
the
efforts
made
by
my
client
still
some
delay
in
getting
things
from
the
city.
S
We
thought
it
was
scheduled
for
last
for
the
last
hearing
for
the
CIM
code
enforcement
born
in
January.
Wasn't
it
set
for
today
and
I?
Think
mr.
fule,
we
know
is
on
board
with
with
what
we're
asking
for,
and
so
we
would
just
request
that
the
board
allow
us
to
pay
that
the
administrative
costs
and
you.
G
R
D
S
S
B
D
My
concern
okay,
so
the
short-term
rental
is
a
sensitive
issue,
I
think
for
for
Clearwater
Beach
in
a
special
area,
but
that
area
I
mean
that's
all.
It
is
a
short-term
rental
with
all
those
places,
the
condos
they
have
their
own
rules
and
all
that
I
don't
see
this
as
being
a
real
violation
in
comparison
to
what
we
experienced
in
the
residential
areas.
That's
my
opinion.
H
A
A
O
B
Case
1
1,
1,
1
7,
consider
request
by
respondents.
Ibraham
go
Brio,
have
1
4,
4
5,
south
Missouri
Avenue
to
reduce
the
fine
reference,
exterior
surfaces,
an
abandoned
building
and,
if
approved
issue,
an
order
that
specifies
a
fine
that
includes
administrative
costs
and
establishes
a
date
payable
where
the
lien
will
revert
to
its
original
amount.
B
T
Is
law's
big
situation
start
when
I
received
the
letter
about
the
violation?
The
same
time
when
I
received
a
letter,
I
have
to
go
to
out
of
town
for,
like
four
weeks,
I
told
her
the
lady
seen
her
name
is
Christina
and
I
told
her
we'll
have
to
leave
when
I
come
back.
I
have
to
start
to
clean
when
I
came
back,
I
meet
her
and
we
start
to
clean
the
property.
I
make
like
two
three
payment
with
my
nose
restructure.
T
E
E
E
U
U
The
the
violation-
actually
there
was
civil
violation,
the
violation
that
was
started
with
Christian
the
code
enforcement
officer.
He
was
going
our
country
for
I
think
four
weeks
or
something
and
I
told
when
I
get
back
I'll
address
the
issue.
When
he
came
back,
he
met
with
her
and
then
she
told
him
the
violation
and
she
suggested
that
maybe
it's
best
that
he
takes
the
building
down.
So
he
contacted
me.
U
I
said
you
know
this
is
the
violation
I
want
you
to
handle
this
for
me
and
let's
take
it
down
which
I
have
done
that
and
on?
We
went
ahead
and
we
did
the
asbestos
survey.
We
submitted
the
plans,
we
got
the
permit
for
the
demolition
which
the
permit
was
issued
by
the
end
of
the
year,
almost
of
2017
early
2017.
U
There
was
a
lot
of
people
approaching
as
he
was
trying
to
sell
the
building
the
city
to
see
what
kind
of
use
they
can
apply
to
the
property
and
the
city
is
kind
of
denying
everything,
no
Karla.
No,
this!
No
that
so
it
was
my
idea
and
I
said:
listen,
Abraham,
you're,
gonna,
sit,
take
the
building
down.
All
you
can
have
is
a
piece
of
empty
land
that
is
just
sitting
there.
Waiting
for
people
to
trash
it
and
you're
gonna
be
getting
violation
every
other
week
to
go
clean
the
land
beside.
U
They
have
to
pay
the
taxes
and
you
can't
use
it
for
anything.
So
why
don't
you
just
restore
the
building
and
see
what
needs
to
be
done?
We
went
and
we
met
with
the
staff
of
the
city
of
Clearwater.
It
was
about
five,
six
people,
the
staff,
the
fire
of
the
engineer
and
everybody
else,
the
zoning
and-
and
we
told
them
that
we
prefer
to
keep
the
building
and
just
use
it
for
whatever
occupancy
it
has
been
approved,
for
we
don't
want
to
change
no
occupancy.
U
You
want
to
start
from
scratch,
so
they
gave
us
a
commendation.
It
said,
hire
a
civil
engineer
to
go
ahead
and
give
us
a
site
plan
that
shows
a
dumpster
the
parking
lot,
the
landscape
and
all
the
set
of
the
stuff
like
that.
We
hired
at
Monte
key,
which
she
started
right
away
on
it
and
we
she
sent
about
three
four.
U
Submitted
to
the
city
proposal:
let's
put
it
this
way
with
what
could
be
done
and
they
keep
going
back
and
forth
on
the
buffer
and
the
landscape
and
all
that
stuff.
Meanwhile,
we
met
with
Kerry
at
the
code
enforcement
office
a
couple
of
times,
and
he
said
as
long
you
guys
are
in
a
progress
of
trying
to
deal
with
the
situation.
On
the
other
hand,
we
spend
money
about
four
or
five
thousand
dollars
clean
the
property.
U
N
Compliance
for
the
two
violations
have
been
submitted,
so
this
is
a
fixed,
lien,
I
think
about
seventy
six
thousand
dollars
not
to
jump
the
gun,
though
III
inspector
Philips,
close-up,
I
think
what
rules?
What
you
will
see
is
that
there
are
other
violations
on
the
property
that
currently
exists.
That
weren't
cited
in
the
board's
initial
order
that
created
the
fine,
so
we
find
you're
not
no
longer
continuing
to
accrue,
but
from
the
city's
perspective
compliance
is.
You
still
exist
if
that
makes
sense
and
we'll
see
that
there
may
I
inquire
very
briefly.
N
Thank
you,
sir
I
know
you
have
the
property
under
contract,
correct,
yeah,
okay
and
sales
price
is
two
hundred
and
forty-five
thousand
dollars.
Is
that
correct?
Okay,
I.
G
N
At
the
public
records
and
I
didn't
see
any
other
liens
mortgages
or
judgments
against
you,
like
you
own
this
poverty
plain
clinic,
okay
so,
but
for
the
city's
lien,
you
would
walk
away
with
almost
a
quarter
of
a
million
dollars
cash
to
you
correct
if
to
see.
If
the
city
didn't
have
a
lien
on
the
property,
all
that
money
at
$245,000,
less
their
closing
cost
will
go
directly
to
year.
Right,
yes,.
T
N
So
basically,
what
you
want
us
to
do
is
reduce
down
that
$76,000
lien
to
a
couple
thousand
dollars,
so
you
can
walk
away
with
an
additional
$74,000.
T
My
phone
because
I
don't
know
that
they
received
the
letter
for
70,000
like
couple
months
ago.
The
situation
start
in
20
2017
and
when
I
sit
down
with
Terry,
he
said
we
stopped
that
we
closed
the
case,
because
I'm
ready
I
start
make
different
plans
like
I
start
already
make
a
determination
already
I
start
for
this
one.
After
that,
okay
said,
maybe
we
can
use
for
this
I.
N
But
this
lien
is
not
holding
up
to
sell
your
property
right.
There's
enough
money
in
the
cell
and
excels
contract
that
I
have
here
the
cover
to
cover
the
full
amount
of
the
city's
leaning,
correct
I'd,
be
more
than
that
when
I
think
that
a
yes
or
not,
you
deserve
enough
money
in
the
sales
contract
to
cover
the
city's
lien
we'd.
You
could
pay
the
full
amount
about
seventy
six
thousand
dollars
and
still.
N
T
N
T
T
They
said,
I
didn't
know
the
seventy
three
thousand.
That's
too
much
because
I
start
already
when
I
received
the
letter
since
thousand
six
I
already
work
with
the
city.
I
need
the
manager
I
meet
him
like
three
times.
I
need
her
like
two
time
and
the
clear
water
every
time
he
give
me
different
option
and
he
told
him
stop
the
lien.
He
never
told
me.
We
have
lien
count
every
day.
I
never
know.
Okay,.
N
U
We
are
following
exactly
what
we
were
and
we
met
in
the
city
of
Clearwater.
We
met
Carrie.
They
said
you
guys
do
what
you
need
to
do
has
for
the
process
and
then
all
you
have
to
do
is
apply
for
a
lien
reduction
and
we
were
doing
the
process
and
then
we
wanted
to
apply
for
a
lien
reduction
at
the
same
time
that
he
got
the
contract.
But
really
excuse
me
if
I
say
this
I
think
you're
counting
the
money
in
his
bucket,
which
that's
that's
irrelevant.
Well,.
N
Is
what
we
are,
the
factors
that
this
board
has
to
consider
is
whether
or
not
galine
stops
the
sale
of
the
property.
That's
enough
usual
rules,
so
I'm
asking
you
and
what
I'm
getting
from
him
and
I'm,
not
gonna,
put
words
in
his
mouth.
Is
that
there's
enough
money
to
cover
the
amount
of
the
liens?
We
need.
Seventy
eight
thousand
dollars,
there's
no
other
mortgages,
and
you
are
getting
two
hundred
fifty.
U
It's
not
about
enough
or
not
that's
irrelevant,
what's
what's
relevant
here
is
if
this
lien
is
valid
or
not
valid,
how
can
you
lean
someone
when
he
is
in
the
process
of
rectifying
the
issue
and
the
problem
don't
worry
about
it?
There
is
no
problem,
go
ahead
and
get,
and
we
still
the
meter,
is
still
ticking
and
get.
B
B
B
D
You
were
trying
to
clarify
that,
regardless
of
whatever
action
this
board
takes,
it
will
not
delay
or
impede
the
sale.
That's
right!
That's
his
interest!
That's
why
he's
asking
the
question
I
can
understand
how
you
could
understand
it
as
you
addressed
it
like.
What
does
that
kind
of
do
with
you
know?
What
are
you
looking
at
and
it's
over
I
understand
it,
but
that's
not
what
he's
trying
do?
He
just
wants
to
make
sure
that
this
board
does
not
do
anything
that
impedes
any
sale
or
business
arrangement
that
you
have
going.
B
R
R
The
case
came
before
the
board
in
July
of
2017,
and
they
were
found
in
violation
for
exterior
surfaces
and
abandoned
building,
and
the
owner
is
correct.
There
is
one
time
that
I'm
aware
of
in
the
inspectors
notes
who
keeps
great
notes
that
he
did
come
in
in
August
2017
and
met
with
Terry
and
Kristen
and
a
couple
others,
and
he
asked
what
his
options
were
regarding
the
building,
because
it
was
an
abandoned
building
and
at
that
time
he
was
referred
referred
to
zoning,
to
see
what
he
could
do
for
a
use.
R
I
personally
contacted
the
owner
because
Nicole,
let
me
know
this
was
coming
to
the
board
again
and
he
said
he
was
coming
to
get
a
lien
reduction
and
I
told
him.
Since
the
inspector
was
gone
and
I'm
the
specialist
I
usually
put
my
eyes
on
at
last
and
will
decide
whether
I
say
to
you.
Yes,
it's
in
violation
or
no
it's
not
in
violation.
He
stated
he
just
wanted
to
come.
Get
a
lien
reduction
and
I
advised
him.
That's
not
how
it
works.
R
If
you
have
a
buyer-
and
you
would
like
to
meet
with
our
city
attorney
and
get
a
stipulation
agreement
and
go
ahead
and
take
on
that
burden
and
get
30,
60
or
90
days
to
bring
it
into
compliance,
then
you
would
come
back
and
ask
for
a
lien
reduction
at
that
time,
showing
the
properties
in
compliance
the
city's
not
going
to
give
a
lien
reduction
when
the
property
is
still
in
violation.
It
just
wouldn't
make
sense.
So
I
think
when
mr.
foo
I
know
is
saying
that
it's
like.
R
Why
would
we
go
ahead
and
lessen
seventy
thousand
dollars
when
you
can
spend
a
few
and
make
your
building
presentable?
I
think
it's
that
simple.
So,
having
said
that,
I
went
out
to
the
property
on
2013
I,
can't
not
sure
what
you
can't
see
it,
but
if
you
look
at
the
front
of
building,
one
of
them
was
for
exterior
surfaces.
R
That's
what
you
see
from
Missouri
I
mean
that
is
very
unattractive.
It's
just
got
the
same
peeling
paint
again.
This
was
in
2017
we're
in
2019
as
many
times
as
he
spoke
to
the
city
and
he's
driven
to
his
property.
That's
what
you
see
and
that's
with
the
surrounding
neighborhoods
and
businesses,
see
again.
This
is
the
south
side
of
the
building.
It's
not
that
hard
to
fix
you're
talking
about
plywood
and
some
paint,
something
that
can
be
fixed
relatively
quickly
and
not
really
that
expensive.
R
In
my
opinion,
this
is
the
back
of
the
building
which
doesn't
appear
to
be
too
bad,
and
this
is
on
the
13th.
Now,
if
you
go
to
the
north
side
of
the
building
the
window
that
you
see
to
the
right,
that's
actually
been
covered
and
screened
and
secured,
because
the
door
is
open,
it
won't
shut
and
all
they've
done
is
paint
over
it.
So
technically
that
door
doesn't
even
shut
and
that's
the
better
visual
for
you.
It's
just
screened
and
painted
over
to
look
presentable.
But
it's
really
not.
R
R
B
U
If
the
city
would
be
pleased,
if
we
let's
say
fix
all
the
assault
and
paint
the
building
in
a
pleasant
color,
instead
of
that
red
and
try
to
bring
in
the
outside
of
the
building
into
acceptable
condition,
would
and
give
us
like,
maybe
30
days
to
do
that
we
delay
the
sale.
Would
we
be?
We
will
refer
in
you?
We
don't
really
know
what
we're
doing
as
far.
U
But
but
the
thing
is
what
we
don't
understand
is
we
were
always
led
to
believe
that
as
long
you're
trying
to
do
something
with
the
board
either
to
get
an
engineer
to
work
which,
like
there
is
a
one
thing,
difference
between
a
guy
that
doesn't
want
to
do
anything
and
he
thinks
he's
a
bully
and
he
can
bully
the
city
around
and
somebody
it
just
doesn't
try
it's
trying
to
do
what
he
thinks
he's
doing
right
and
that's
what
we
thought.
I.
B
D
Sir
I
have
to
say
when
the
inspector
Phillips
said
that
she
found
notes
of
a
meeting
in
August
of
2017.
It
was
correct,
so
I
don't
know
if
the
building
look
better
than
or
what
it
looks
like
now,
but
that
building
is
not
in
compliance
with
the
code.
It's
so
far,
it
sounds
to
me
like
there's,
been
a
problem.
The
owner
has
been
aware
of
the
problem
and
he's
been
dragging
it
out
with
hopes
that
he
could
sell
it
and
not
have
to
put
any
money
into
it
to
reduce
his
any
expenditures.
