For
today's
work,
the
code
enforcement
Board
hearing
procedure,
it's
the
intention
of
this
board
to
promote,
protect
and
improve
the
health,
safety
and
welfare
of
the
citizens
of
Tarpon
Springs
by
providing
an
equitable,
effective
and
inexpensive
method
of
enforcing
various
codes
within
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs.
Any
aggrieved
party
may
appeal
a
final
administrative
order
of
this
board
to
the
circuit
court.
Such
an
appeal
shall
be
filed
within
30
days
of
the
execution
of
the
order
to
be
appealed.
B
Secondly,
the
violator
is
allowed
to
make
a
presentation
and
present
any
evidence
or
documents.
Then
the
city
can
question
the
violators
witnesses
after
both
rounds
of
testimony
both
on
the
part
of
the
city
and
a
part
of
the
violator.
Each
party's
asked
a
given
closing
statement
first
by
the
city,
then
by
the
violator.
After
those
three
steps
are
taken.
This
board
then
closes
the
public
portion
of
the
case
to
discuss
it
and
take
appropriate
action.
Before
we
begin,
the
hearing
will
have
all
potential
witnesses
stand
up,
be
sworn
in
by
the
Secretary
of
the
Board.

Officer,
gas
and
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
Police
Department
code
enforcement
officer
reference
case
15
80000
608,
the
property
address
is
908
Riverside,
Drive
December.
First
I
conducted
an
initial
inspection
based
on
a
complaint
about
debris
in
the
yard,
furniture,
toys,
etc.
I
inspected
the
property
and
found
furniture
was
being
stored
on
the
property
and
public
view,
bicycles,
toys,
miscellaneous
items
in
public
view,
trash
cans
were
filled.
The
I
had
actually
spoke
to
the
resident
as
they
were
moving
out
and
they
think
she
was
a
tenant
and
said
she
didn't
care.
G
So
she
left
all
the
trash
water
was
disconnected.
So
obviously
the
trash
isn't
going
to
be
picked
up
either.
There's
also
some
yard
waste
in
the
front
yard,
and
now
on
that
date
the
house
was
vacant,
went
through
the
process
of
identifying
the
owner
via
the
property,
appraisers
website,
notice
of
violation
and
a
notice.
G
Earring
was
issued,
mailed
first
class
and
certified
to
the
listed
owner
via
pinellas,
county
tax,
collector
and
property
appraiser
on
Nova
I'm,
sorry,
December
31st,
the
property
was
posted
and
I
conducted
a
reinspection
on
January
thirteenth
of
this
year
and
there
was
no
change.
The
property
is
still
as
it
was
on
the
previous
date.
I
do
have
photographs
for
the
board
and
did
currently
in
violation
of
section
8,
22
accumulation
of
trash
or
debris,
840,
duty,
maintenance
of
private
property
and
then
852
for
nuisance
prohibitions.
F
G
And
I
did
speak
to
the
gentleman's
here
who's,
a
representative
of
they
had
to
conduct
an
eviction
before
they
could
get
onto
the
property
and,
after
speaking
to
him
today
that
occurred
about
the
21st
is
when
they
got
their
writ
of
possession
that
property
and
were
finally
able
to
enter
it.
Our
discussion
today
with
him
as
he
was
going
to
go
for
an
extension
so
that
he
could
get
it
into
compliance
and
I'll.
Let
him
present
that
side.
I
have
no
objection
to
that.
Okay,
thank.
B
H
B
C
H
G
Only
my
my
aspect
in
the
cities
aspect
that
they're
concerned
with,
after
speaking
of
the
general
and
today
I,
know,
there's
issues
inside
of
the
house,
which
could
take
an
unknown
period
of
time.
My
concern
and
our
concern
and
the
violations
are
with
the
outside
of
the
house.
I
realize
the
situation
deal
with
the
corporation
to
be
in
90
days.
I,
don't
know
if
it
could
be
done
in
phases
where
at
least
we
could
get
the
outside
cleaned
up
fairly
quick.
G
We
did
receive
complaints
about
the
property,
but
then
we
knew
the
issue
was
going
on
with
the
tenets
and
everything
so
we
actually
held
off
before
we
went
through,
because
we
would
had
to
do
everything
twice
anyway,
so
that
that's.
My
only
argument
is
if
the
outside
can
be
done,
a
little
quicker,
I,
don't
necessarily
care
how
long
the
rest
of
it
takes.
I
G
I've
seen
a
couple
of
guys
pulling
up
with
a
rolloff
can
probably
have
it
done
in
an
afternoon
again.
I
understand
the
corporate
situation.
Sometimes
the
paperwork
trail
takes
a
little
longer.
The
actual
physical
work
could
be
done
in
a
day.
As
far
as
what
the
city
and
the
codewords
concerned
with
the
outside.
A
H
H
H
To
explain
something
about
banks
today,
it's
not
like
it
was
in
the
90s
and
the
90s.
You
got
two
bids,
they
took
the
lowest
bid,
and
it's
done
if
this
was
one
of
my
properties.
I
could
have
this
done
it
inside
of
three
days.
But
what
we're
dealing
with
here
is
a
corporation.
That's
dealing
with
an
asset
management
company
I'm
not
dealing
directly
with
the
company
that
owns
the
bones,
the
property
I'm
dealing
with
the
management
company.
They
have
a
national
servicing
company
that
they
use.
H
Okay,
that
they
get
bids
from
you
know
if
it
was
I,
could
get
my
trash
out
guy
there
tomorrow
and
have
it
done,
but
you
know
my
problem
is
bureaucratic
stuff.
All
right,
that's
that's!
The
problem.
I
have
so
I
mean
what
I
will
respond
to
them
with
whatever
y'all
theme
is
fair,
because
I'm
just
trying
to
explain
to
you
that
they
don't
work,
quick
I
mean
I've,
got
properties
with
them
that
we
sell.
They
put
a
30-day
close
on
them.
