Permit and Right-of-Way Violations for Business Sign and Dumpster Enclosure
A code enforcement case was heard for Case Code 26-000687 at 24 Northwest 8th Avenue, owned by Rahman Muhammad. The violations pertained to a business sign requiring an updated permit for a sign word change and a dumpster enclosure built within the city right-of-way without proper approval. The property was cited under City Code Section 6004.7 subsection f subsection 1 (signs requiring permits) and Section 102.01 subsection a subsection b (construction in right-of-way). As of June 2026, the property was not in compliance. The city requested 30 days (by July 19, 2026) for the sign permit and 60 days (by August 18, 2026) for relocating the dumpster, with a $150 daily fine until compliance. The magistrate granted 60 days for both issues.
Landscaping and Right-of-Way Case Postponed for Evidence Presentation
A code enforcement case (26-000487) concerning Thomas Burke at 202 Southeast 4th Avenue was brought before the special magistrate. The representative for Mr. Burke, David Schmidt, requested a postponement due to having video evidence and a PowerPoint presentation that he was not previously informed needed to be submitted ahead of time. The city objected to the postponement, citing improvements (landscaping and some installed items) within the city right-of-way that could create city liability, as well as associated overhead power lines. Despite the city's objection, the magistrate granted the postponement and rescheduled the hearing for July 2nd, noting that online procedures indicated evidence could be presented on the hearing day.
Site Plan Modification Violation for Overdue Application Payment, New Deadline Set
Case 26-000685 involving Still Replace LLC at 1801 South Federal Highway was presented. The violation stemmed from an interior renovation permit application submitted on April 29, 2025, for a space previously occupied by a dentist office. This indicated the building area was not removed as required by the 2013 ordinance (Ordinance 41-12), which established the ADRZ special district. The current building area was not in conformity with the approved 2013 site plan, violating Section 4.4.02.5 subsection e subsection 11 (Special Activities) and Section 4002.10 subsection a subsection 1 (Site Plan Application). Corrective action requires submitting an amendment to Ordinance 41-12. The first deadline was to submit the application by June 8, 2026, which was paid on June 11, 2026, three days after the compliance date. The city sought a three-day violation for the late payment. The second phase requires obtaining approval of the site modification plan within 180 days (by December 16, 2026). The magistrate acknowledged the system's delay in invoicing and waived the fine for the three-day delay in payment but upheld the violation. A new deadline of 180 days was set for the site plan approval, with a status hearing to review progress.
Historic Property Demolition and Vegetation Removal Violations Lead to Permit Requirements
Case 26-000697 involves the property at 610 North Ocean Boulevard, owned by Paying 265 A Will See, with The Private Exchange Group Inc. as the registered agent. The violations concern the demolition of structures and removal of vegetation without a permit, exceeding the scope of an approved tree removal permit. The property is listed on the local registry of historical places. The city suggested that the property owner complete an application for a certificate of appropriateness by August 18, 2026, with a daily fine of $1000 if not submitted. Additionally, the owner must apply for and obtain approved permits by October 16, 2026, also with a $1000 daily fine for non-compliance. The magistrate ordered the respondent to file the appropriate paperwork for a certificate of appropriateness by August 18, 2026, with a potential $1000 daily fine, and to obtain required permits by October 16, 2026, with a potential $1000 daily fine.
Renovation Permit Violations Result in Continued Daily Fines
Case 26-000537, concerning property at 15764 Southwest 8th Avenue, owned by the As One Trust of Herting Rhea Ole, with Carlos EV School and Maria Gomez as trustees, was heard for failure to obtain approved permits for renovations and building. The violation was found on March 19, 2026, with a 60-day compliance period and a $100 daily fine. Re-inspections on May 23, 2026, and June 17, 2026, confirmed the property remained out of compliance. As of the hearing, the accrued fine was $2,900. The property owner's representative, Cs Yglesias, requested more time, stating an engineer was working on corrections. The city recommended following the previous order, imposing the $100 daily fine after the 60-day non-compliance period. The magistrate ordered the accrued fine of $2,900 to stand and continue the $100 daily fine until compliance.
