As you know, our start with the city of start with suspense today and come right back to you, Mr. Spence, whenever you're ready, Thimerosal us, this is a continued case. You have for a violation of our one of 5.1 permits required. >> Where there's a man or a hurricane renovations permit and sorry, hurricane renovations done without a permanent. in years and years, it seems that things are going more difficult because did have permits applied for and it's where process, but they're having to split up since about 3 or 4 units that are within that whole thing. They're having to develop every single one through a permit process to ensure that its OK, you know, balance and just speak up on that of a time from when she thinks get everything turned or applying everything turned in, OK, sounds like there's some complexity to the permitting processes that with. >> Yeah. So there's 3 different units they had applied one permit application for all 3 units and they recently received comments from the building department requesting for those applications to now be divided up there. See those comments this week. So obviously we're going to request an additional time to go through that process. After speaking with the contractor, I believe 60 days is what will need just to allow, you know, the typical 30 day period that the building department usually takes to provide comments back for permitting and then also give a little bit of a buffer in case there's any additional revisions that may arise with those new permits. >> was reasonable to me. So we want to just push shoppers 60 days. Yeah, cover with that. We're looking at August 27th that were says Anders, mornings afternoons. Mornings, please it 30. Yes, please. Cannot.

Next is city zoning Code section 2, 0, to be very multiple dwelling units on the property. And finally, it's city zoning code.

As of right now, everything still ongoing. We do see a permit applied for that sneeze and corrections. >> It appears and I'll the of ours correct me if I'm wrong, but appears that they're trying to downgrade the 2 into one dwelling unit. But that would still not be sufficient enough to correct all violations due to the fact that neither the principal or the accessory dwelling unit would be owner occupied. So they would it would have to be either someone moved in as well as his permit be closed down. Or the whole property be converted back to a residential single family dwelling. But I'll let the of our speak up on that where things stand. >> OK, I'm hopeful that you've had this discussion with the building department already. You know what you need to do or what has? >> they just send in the mine.

So the city all understand the occupant of the resident was her brother who obviously did not take care of the property. We unfortunately had to go through an eviction process to get brother out, which we've successfully accomplish, allowed Kristina the opportunity to fix up the house. And so that's what we've done. And so we asked for obviously the leniency of the city understanding that the situation involved. >> Well, I think I remember this story with foods litigation to get him out, eccentric cetera.

Things were a little slow last month. My. And I'm April my contractor the replaced, he seems very child now he said that just about them and electrical and probably another day or so to be able to call in to have that done on plumbing side. The one thing we're waiting for is the countertops and I'm not sure exactly when that we're waiting for them to come out to measure and then too. >> Get them done so we can finish the plumbing work with the sinks and everything until done. >> The projection on time, 60 days or I would think if everything went. Rapidly should be definitely within that time period. Electrical should be within the next couple of weeks. question I have for you on what works best for you in terms of the plumbing because they don't know how long will take to get the countertop in? And I have to go away. Very end of July. beginning of September. So ideally, I would like be there when they put the countertop. It. But if that's a problem for you in terms of the inspections and such, I can have a contract or a friend be there to make sure all the work is being putting correctly summit. You know, I can I get I get I I'm a city Lawyer that comes here to hear cases. So and made sure Mr. Spence can answer that question. But especially with a good shot at it. >> In relation to installation, that would be up to you whether you know, every contractor friend be there for that. >> You know, know when it comes to the inspections like to make sure that all the plumbing is done for code, someone also have to be there so that someone can make sure that there's access to the property on this year's a lockbox code of some sort.

Ibra good. I will go next. The city of Sarasota versus Patricia Basher. Case number 2025, 0, 0, 3, 5, 3, The record. No one's here. public apparently stipulated continuance on this one.

And the violations continuing of 6 to one of this is oneco to one of 5.1 of Florida building code. I said Joe Caruso. Yes, Caruso. This is a Richard Ellis serving as a magistrate, the city of Sarasota. How are you, sir? >> are you don't do well, thank you. If you're ready, we'll go on record for the case. I think you're appearing for here today. City of Sarasota vs Richard Lambert E as trustee, the 23rd Street Children's Trust dated for 14, 2000. 25, it's case number 2026, 0, 0, 4, 5, 9, Mr. Cruz. So I we start with the City of Sarasota, Mr. Spence's here for the City of Sarasota today and repeat for Senator continued. You're closer to the microphone. I'm having trouble hearing you. >> Understanding you. Mr. Cruz to let's see if that's any better. Can you hear me better now? So much better. Thank you. Okay. >> All right. So as I was explaining, I'm going to go now to Mister Spence, who's here for the City of Sarasota and the city's position on this. And then I'll come right back to you. OK? spent whatever your eyes. >> Solis, this is a new case for numerous violations. Breaking down one by one for being violation of Florida. Building code 105, 0.1. >> Permits require a fence was installed without a permit. This one was corrected with our inspection on May 5th. Next being a Florida building code 105 1004.2 which pertains to an expired permit. >> That had left outstanding. This one was corrected with the reinstatement completion. As of our inspection of June 17. Next one is a another violation of our Florida building code. One of 5.1 per it's required where there's some interior renovations that were done without a permit, creating 3 dwelling units to a property after that, we have zoning code section 6 dash, 2, 2, be which is the use of the property with your change, having 3 dwelling units on presence to him for property. And finally, center housing code 307, 0.5, retains to pass an extermination. All 3 of these remain out of compliance. I know it's been told to the inspector that the past have been. Corrected, but we need either an on site to verify that there are no further signs of past or an invoice from an extermination company to correct that violation. And then the last 2 are kind of more of intricate, you know, detail as this was a vested duplex. But there is sun renovations on the that were done without a permit which created a loss of that rights for duplex. So as the city stands as of right now, the probably will have to be returned to a residential single family and no longer a duplex. I know the inspector said that the response are having difficulties wanting to keep it a duplex as they're trying to follow permits. You have everything done with that. We've been in stride and structures because owning as well as code staff to see if there's any change that can made to allow them to keep it a duplex. But I'll defer to Mr. Caruso in relation. To where that stands. All right. correct. Crucial. Let me go to USC where you are on this point in this process here, sir. >> That what We know that we've got to get test under control of company. I all I needed to do was tell the inspector, you know, residents happy with the situation. I want to know I need to do something else. mean, it's I think, unfortunately, your your assumption that is really way off. So you're going to have to. >> Have you spoken with building department at this point? >> spoke with inspector is unity will step up here. route to surrender control of minutes. We need to do something else. happy to do Yeah, there's a the big problem seems to be the zoning issue. >> You have too many units that location that are not permitted in that. So classification. So you that, you know why? That's the major issue here. you probably need to. know, try to get that information from the building department as to what what's permitted, what isn't permitted. Okay. think that's public funding >> We were we were asked to apply for up to after the fact or Bill. It and we're in the process of taking measurements inside. And create the drawings that could lead to the submitted an application for the permit. When when the property was purchased, property appraiser told us, you we needed to remove us what we've done and open up a doorway. Between the should have been aware of. The department was needed to open door way there. That will Rules into Permit applications for the if prove months that were done by the previous owner. When trying to get a I think we're at least halfway done with the measurements. I would like Completed several weeks ago. It was just too. hard to orchestrate from us. The city at airport were making progress the inspector Somewhat compliment of our progress yesterday when I spoke with But we are working on that to get actually with the city. >> All right. So a lot a lot all, you know, I think what will end up doing here today is continuing this case out to give you a chance to work work through the process. You know, I do want to, you know, please call your attention. Seems What I've heard today, the big issue may have it sound like this, Mr. Spence was saying that maybe this is a single-family zoning. Is that right? >> Yeah, that was me. My only Mr. is he planning on trying to return this back to a dwelling or start to do well and do blacks or is he just going to bring us back to RSF one Ares residential single family? I should say because as of right now the city stands that due to the renovations that have taken place. It will need to be returned back to a single family unless there's some sort of you know, deemed, you know, for returning back to that duplex. >> You grandfathering issues or something along those lines that so I just want to call your attention to that issue. So you can focus on that. But what I'll do, today's will just find a new day to bring this case that went with U.S. just. >> To the extent of work that needs to be done will pushes out just a little past 30 days. Does August 6th work out for you, Mr. Caruso. >> our best. It will be a. The current use building single-family the time. But it's not what I wanted to convert it back to single family. the president that was Removes the lock-in, started occupying both Mohegan Without my knowledge, without my permission, just the property manager for the trustee. >> Well, let me just because not the sort this out a little bit. So it is pushing South August 6. like mornings or afternoons, Mr. Caruso. >> Good morning. It's good. priest 45? Okay. >> It. 45 am work for you, sir. >> That's why sure I was too that out to 8/6/2026. The 45 am fun. The violation of one of 5.1 is the place the interior renovations. As well as 307, 0.5 supplies, the extermination and 6 to be in his own code. continuing violations. I believe Bible was applied to the fence was directed back on 5/5/2026. And one of 5.4. 1 1.2 as applied to the permit was is also correct that June 17 SEP. >> So we will see you then. Hopefully we can have some answers when we when come back. OK, good luck.

So I don't know if you just got lost in the process. So that's it. So and then my contractor, when an employee for everything and everything, how much work needs to be done in their view? >> There's very little that needs to be done still. just some a little bit of finish work in. >> The bathrooms and you know, just like a little details.

But even by the mail, even by phone call or there was nothing posted on the property says we bought it. I mean, sort through this a little bit. So. >> Looks like this. I take the notice of violation was mailed in December 22nd of 22,025. >> Who owned the property that time? Is that an incompetent So the city by statute is required to to mail the notice to the location that's in the property. Appraiser's records at that time. So I don't on the closing we already signed the deed sand of the closing that properties are the be linked to When was the closing in March? Marceau? But again, they were the site. It was the citation was back in December, OK? And so the notice would have been sent to the owner.
