Thank you and the construction. the tree. that they want to do with >> Yeah, they want to see what your plan is and they want to check your tree protection. And since this is the grand tree, it's I think it's chain-link that's required.

We do have an application that was submitted back in April and the permit was issued on September. The 14th. So really that the city would be looking to see what the timeline is for those inspections and to get the permit closed out. And I do want to put on record that summer's this a new owner. So she bought into this and she's been working with previous owner. So we're trying to give her as much leeway as we can. So she's really pushing forward on this. bought into the prom All right. Yes, big surprise. >> For the record, you know, I went through a real estate agent and inspector title company. No lawyer, no one picked this up. So it was like a surprise to me. Obviously and once I got the notice, I contacted the previous owner and he said that his GC would handle it immediately. And Michael, not a problem. And so I just trusted that that was what was happening until I got the notice about this court case. So obviously have like kicked into high been on the phone with Whitney. A lot of doing everything I can to push things forward. And so the GC has been making progress. The previous owner paid the $3,000 in fines. So it looks like we're rounding the corner. I would just ask for more time because now that I'm on it, it's going to get fixed. I just trust that was being handled. wasn't after the fact, right? The work is complete. yeah, the work was done to sell the House. Okay. It was like a flip. And so I walked in thinking it was ready to roll. So it was a big surprise to me. Obviously. So I'm doing everything I can to stay in compliance and to work with the city and luckily the previous owners willing to take care of it. And so I just need a little bit more time because we're at the point now where we just need to get an inspector in to get, you know, make sure everything's to code. >> Has been issued. just to call afternoon calling the inspections. What's the recommendation? Terms of pushing it out, pushing it out. As you know, we revised process. So we're looking at get to give Ms Summers 60 days to get everything completed.

One of 5.1 for an above ground pool that was installed without a permit looking at our permit database. It looks like there were 2 permit applications which were both withdrawn. This case started back in April and it's become a safety issue. So I'd be looking Mr. Get are to see if he's either going to take the pool down before he get a permit to do it that way or how he's going to approach to get the property into compliance >> OK, it to What do you think? You know you with >> The FBI could I could not get I heard most of it. But yeah, breaking up a little >> That's who she indicated. There's a pool ground pool has been installed lot of permit. They've been to applications, but they were both withdrawn and there's a safety issue. There's that was when in because let me get your response to it. >> everybody want to know the story from from the front to the back. I can give you chart review. We bought this house back in 2018, but friends of ours that are no longer the owners. They are they we bought them out a couple years ago. But anyway, bottom what the bought the house one of our friends and my friend hired hired the poll company by the I got hear. >> The whole company name. What's that mean? All that? At the time was. Cool. hold EU. Are you at LL be from Brooksville Florida? And they installed the pool and they were supposed to, I guess we we did not know they were supposed to do everything and I don't know, debate. >> He would intentionally or if they didn't know about the permit. That's more than I can tell you what I know that we were found very end up in because we had no idea that we were supposed to have until this last year. When a friend of ours, we were thinking about air are doing something like that. And then that's when that that's when we found that out. And we were not I was not trying to do anything that illegal. And I was very surprised to see this come up because I did not know. So we have been trying all year. trying to get got guys from down there to get a permit for at hand. We're still trying, but we just haven't found anybody that's willing to get a permit for >> So can you tell there were permits that were withdrawn? It did jump to have contractors. >> When you're when you're speaking on the pollen, I cannot hear you near at playing havoc and the other guy out of millions that are you further away from your phone car? >> Right. On top of the phone, can you hear it? Me a little bit. I a hard time. I could really follow the other guy, but I couldn't I'm sorry. couldn't really follow you. >> So I guess my question is you have 2 applications that were withdrawn. So what happened there? >> Well, the guys were trying to get a permit. We could not get a permit because people were trying to deal with it. We're not helpful and they were actually kinda rude. I tried it myself to get a permit and the guy did not was not willing to help me. He Fairly rude and did not get that. That inspection. That's we just we just gave up. We gave up because people were not very friendly and helping at the new guy. When I reached out or when I got to know I reached out to you guys and you guys were we're more friendly than anybody else ever things thing. The city staff. What we're not helpful. Is that what you're saying? >> The others that the people we were trying to deal with all summer long and trying to get to help us and they were not helpful kill but phone number that I have when we got our notice in the mail a couple weeks ago, then I called that one number. And I remember talking to that lady. >> And I thank her from being that's She she was because she was trying to be helpful. >> Okay. So let's let's move. That one of my friends. The system is your what your intention here. We're going with this. It keeps. we're gonna take it What are you gonna do? >> I had a print. One of my friends about that list down there. And this last week after we had gotten your notice and I have the phone number that eye contact that one of the off people, then they gave me some information and then in the last week, my friend, Chris, my lot. Have been trying again to get people to get somebody to get a permit for me. But he happens happens. anybody down yet. But he was trying trying this last week. To get somebody this is a safety issues. So it either needs to come down. >> So or you need to, you know, kind of get moving on the permit because we need something because it's been since April. So we really need to get the safety issue addressed. >> We are planning we live in a guessing that we live in yet. So, you know, you may have some exposure there if somebody gets hurt. So, >> you know, here's the here's the here's the bottom line. Do you have a say, a pool contractor, the can. >> Navigate city's system here and get your permit. Are just going to take it down? Which would which way to go in on this? >> Well, of those 2 and I'm still trying to get it. But can you help me? Can you give me number of another guy that we have contacted alumni that happened happened committed to doing it yet. But the you know, somebody else I would like to permitted like that. But I'm not trying to be illegal. I bounding up in on and that's why I'm trying to to get it back 2 don't I don't think the city can give you that contractors. But I mean. >> So you have a couple contractors you're negotiating with now to help you. Is that what you're saying? >> Chris was privilege working with a couple of them and not of those had committed to it at the moment and I just looked exactly jury how moving forward with that. He is trying. have tried a lot to help me, Hank, have an e-mail. Anybody down. >> So so Mister Yoda, I would suggest that you really to focus on this that I think I'm going to guess Ms Kennedy at the next time we come back here is going to be asked me to start $100 a day. Fine on. It's going to be assessed on the property. So I think it's important to it to focus on this. OK, I'm gonna give you some advice on that. If you I would. I would get on the phone today and I hired a contractor cause. This kid is indicating there's a safety issue there and they they're obligated to really press forward on this. That, you know, it's so no one gets hurt. So. >> But there's nobody living at the house anyway. But that but there's nobody all summer long. The power an it's not it's not lot of the case it's not a house that's running out it are the case how and there's nobody even living there. we let this spring all summer long and that >> Here from the city Ms Kennedy with how what's the city's idea about when I bring this case back? Well, I mean, that. >> It's been going on since April and honestly, what we can bring it back in like. I I don't 30 days or so. Something like that. But as far as the time frame for correction, we had originally said we had discussed and said 5 days because they've been doing this since April. really needs to be. It really needs to come together either way to take it down or you need to get a permit. So willing to go to 20 days 20 >> we look Ohio. We're planning on coming down to Florida here in about 5 weeks from now. And I was planning by the time we get down there really take it down will have a permit. That's my So. >> Okay. So the go 30 days. >> did. Our will push the case out 30 days. >> And a 30 day, it's going to be at little sharp because we're and we're not leaving Ohio or Florida till about the 20th of the 21st. Do it's going to be can you you give me 45 date that I have time because we won't be coming down there till about the 21st or 22nd of October. So >> as and I are suggesting to me, though, I reading between the lines, you suggesting to me nothing's going to be done on this until you come down. That will not work for sir. Just so, you know, you know, you'll have you'll have hundreds of dollars of fines accrue. You need to get on the phone today and solve the problem. Okay. for you not going wait 45 days, it's often didn't fly down. You've got to have that, you know, phone, hire somebody. If you want to keep the pool and get in, get the problem solved or have somebody take the smell of pool, but you may need a permit for that as well. sure have check with the building department on that. So you need to know, don't wait. 45 days. All right. You know, on the phone today and try to somebody, OK? >> Yeah, we'll try.

City Cause Section 16 Dash 47 for the accumulation of junk rubbish and trash 16 dash. 49 be for over growth. Both of those violations remain in compliance as of July. The 25th of 2025. One of 5.1 of the Florida building code for having to accessory dwelling units and a fence installed without a permit. Section 7.11. 0, one, a one for having the fence. That's greater than 6 and a half feet in height. Section 7, 1, 11. 0, 1, H for the Finnish find the finish line needs to face out and then 302, 0.9 of the state or housing code for no smoke detectors. 3 of 5.7 of housing code for Windows in disrepair and then section 7, 6, 0, 2, CC 2.1 c of our city. Zoning code for the occupation of either the accessory dwelling unit or the main structure. One of those who has to be occupied by the property owner. So let's say we have a fence application that was submitted on November 12th of last year. That needs corrections it also section 6 to a 2 before permitted use. Sorry about that. And then the ad ad you permit was issued on July the 22nd. So we just need the notice of commencement and the timeline for inspections. So just be looking to Ravelo to see what his timelines are. All right. So let me go to you. Unfortunately, we have been we've all the contractors had some setbacks with regard to the rain. >> Because we have to set some footers around the accessory dwelling unit. And so we have to set the footers around there. And we like Doug, the against like the term trenches out made the forms and stuff like that. We just have not had the proper because it it still with poured water in there and they can't pour concrete with with the water kind like port in there. So we're just kind of waiting around to see like a week that it doesn't rain to do the proper setting. And, you know, make sure things are correct. So that's the only thing we're kind of hanging around for right now is is really just that. It's getting any questions on how we doing on the fence application because it says that its need needs As far as I'm aware, owing the fences corrected. look back into the entity oh, yeah, about Your permit hasn't been issued. So it looks like is that the fence permit Aaron. Okay. Yeah. So it looks like there was some zoning comments that were sent out. That need to be addressed in order to get the permit issued. So you might want to. >> A look into that. But on a cardiac, pretty certain that they have been addressed, OK, pretty certain. But don't know. I look back. You have a contractor is yeah, yeah. So I would just follow up and say you need to get the offense permit because it's going to have to be. >> Issued an inspected as well. okay, okay. I I think the city's comfortable pushing it out 30 45 days give Mr. Are following some time to work through the permit process. >> And what's available let's go November. The 5th.

All right. >> This is a new case today for violation of our Florida building code one of 5.1 for an interior renovation without a permit. We do not have any permit applications that have been submitted to the city. I was hoping that somebody would be here today to kind of talk about a timeline. I think the city would be looking for to cure the violations of 45 day time line. We're the city would be asking for some fines and costs be imposed. >> That sounds reasonable to me. So I there's a continued violation. One of 5.1, all stab wish a 45 day. Did you 45 days? 45 days 5 day deadline to correct the violations. I just need a day to bring the case back. >> November the 19th at 8.30. >> the case back November 19th at 08:30AM. that'll take us off the record. All right.

Section 16 Dash 47 for the humiliation of junk rubbish and trash 16 Nash. 49 be for overgrowth. Both of those violations remain in compliance as of March. The 17th, then we have multiple housing violations the property wasn't secure. I think there was some back and forth to whether or not they were going to repair or demolish the structures. And I was hoping we've had a couple of no shows. So was hoping we'd have somebody here today to kind of talk about the plan for the property. But unfortunately, that's not the case. Back on July, the 30th you impose a civil fine of $24,400.6, inspections at 6 teen today since we've had multiple know shows we're asking you to increase the daily running fine to to 50 per day. And hopes that we get some movement on this. That's exactly what I'll do. All modify the prior order. Increase the daily running. Find it. >> 2.50, per day. violations.

And then when it was issued on June, the 23rd of 2026, and it looks like we have 2 inspection schedule, which is fantastic. I I'm just looking the city would be looking today for what kind of timeline we need to finish up the permit so we can get the case closed out. >> All right. Let me go to you and get your response here. >> We are actually trying to get them. Plus out before came here today, we're coming close. actually called yesterday. thinking everything is good to go.

Go to your K 2 cases. We have. >> I am right City of Sarasota versus Jennifer Hershey. It's a case numbers. 24 2024, 0, 0, 1, 6, 6 2024 0, 0, 1, 6, 8, and this her. She's by telephone. So as you know, Mister, shall we start with the Start with Miss Kennedy today. And I'll come right back. Miss Kennedy whenever you're ready. >> Thank you, Mr. Ellis, both of these cases are for violations of our standard unsafe building abatement code payment. Code 3. A 1.4 for a pair demolished structures on the property. The first one 2024. 0, 0, 1, 6, 6, The permit was issued on July. The 16th and it's pending notice of commencement and inspections. Second, one, 2024 zoos are 1, 6, 8, Permit was issued on September. The 15th. So we just need the inspections for those. This. I do want to just kind of put a record that this is our 17th hearing. So the city is looking for a list of something a little bit different today, but I'd like to hear from miss her. She on on how she stands with the inspections in the permit. All right. Mister where are you today? >> Yes, say that there still an issue with 96 street permit, but I just received an email from only in permitting to to go. And he stated that that permit and issued and then also for the 9, 7, 30 inch, a permanent home. Now they're requesting a notice of commencement. working So we're just trying to things patients. you can move forward. frustrated myself. How long everything ready to and get these out repairs? And I'm just trying to do everything that you get it currently image quickly as I control it a little bit hard because I have to go to the You know, these are things I can't really do. But I'm pushing as much as I can. Going. >> this is our 17 hearing, which probably close to a record here. What's the projected timetable of to do this work and get this? Thank Wrapped month. >> And contractors at it should only month. They said, you know, since all the permits are approved all the feeds, everything's ready to go. They said that the destruction will be repaired at the same time making sure that all the permits were approved because other You know, double or triple to have the crews go back. So you have to be in you know, and start working on the house on the trees and do everything at the same time and the time want. told me is 61. To get >> I care. You have questions or comments you want to make. >> I just have a couple comments. Maybe just stating the city's position. This is the 17th hearing. Every time we have a hearing, it costs money for Hershey and for the city. And so what we're suggesting today is to we have updated affidavits prepared is to enter the affidavits on both properties. And then when she's ready when the permit is closed out, we will bring them back and then hopefully you can revisit the fines and cost at that time to that. What? That's what we would be asking for today, rather than keep bringing this back. And I don't want to go out 6 months and it just doesn't make a lot of sense. >> All right. This I have a question. have some questions. Okay. >> You should affidavit prepared. And at that time that they've submitted. Were they plan or are you are these the same affidavit you're actually to submit today She's on that. >> These are updated affidavits. We did not enter the affidavits previously. These are updated through the current date. >> so I don't quite the end hot that hearing it's out for completed. And I come back in. >> As her, she let me it first of for your kind of breaking up a little Hear Ye. Are you location? Where are you on a cell phone someplace or? >> But where I am on a cell try to get in our teaching that you can hear me better. app. >> Now you're not. even worse. >> Is it better now? >> Maybe let's let's see how it goes here. So what? What? This can suggesting this you will is asking on behalf of the city for me to do today is to impose these fines and costs on on on the order and really shift burden over to you to get the thing resolve rather than rather than continue, you know, going to the 18th hearing because everytime generates more costs. You know, the the tough and she's about to show I'm looking at affidavit. large $98,500. But what what you suggesting is that, you know, put the ball in your court and, you know, again, I heard that I heard about a six-month timetable on doing the work here. And you know, that's you know, you typically when you're in violation status, that's too long. that's what that's the norm may be enough in normal. They do get every we get a building permit. You get 6 months You have to work on your inspections, cetera. This is sort of a different thing because, you know, this thing not only the violation, but this this case is I forget where the or we began this. But anyway, so what she's suggesting to me is I stab wish these fines and costs put the burden on you finish it up. You want guess if you want to take 6 months and the chances of getting the fines and costs reduce are going to be diminished. So but that's what she's asked me to do. To be clear here. So. >> right if we get fixed, he yeah, I got to tell got to find >> You got getting about every 3rd word here. Just to tell you but anyway, you may want to try get a location where I can hear you knew it would. >> Okay. I'm going to again. Is it any better now? >> It's now and I really I view just again, think you. Have this in in the in the next time we ever hear. You probably want to get your selfie on it. The landline or someplace loathsome location where your it can be understood. anyway, so yeah, well, that's again. She's what's to see. Affidavits want impose the fines and costs, put the burden on you to come back and ask for him to be reduced if and when. The thing is completed. But if that 6 months from now, your chances are you're not going to be so good. But back. >> One of the question about that because it needed things that I I don't understand. I You know, though, it was a long process to get the permits approved. And I got them approved and everything's ready to move forward. So does that mean that there's would not be a on the property? >> Yes. >> And if it >> if I'd come today, I guess I'm asking, what would she have been looking for? That would have been acceptable today because of these houses need to be fixed. And they said if it'll be completed, totally everything moving ready in 6 months, was there some milestones that she was looking for today that wouldn't stop that. happening? >> I can't speak for Miss Kennedy, but my guess this is what this was going to be her position, whether you are here or not here. >> essentially >> it's based on the, you know, this. Unusual length of time. It's taken that to get this case. Get these construction going and completed. And so again, I you know, again, if you're if you're able to step it up here and, you know, kind start that you'll get the permits issued and get the work done. It's going to enhance your ability to come back to me and reduce finds in cost. But the you know, but in terms of just keeping continuing to have the 18th hearing that the 19 hearing said, I think she's saying to me, that's it. That's Pointlessly. Let's just do. You know, that's what but the bird put it on you to get it done. And if you get it done, you come back and ask for a reduction of finds a cop. That's certainly going to be her position on this. >> Could I could I please request one more chance to have one more hearing before those huge fines are placed. has been gets very, very difficult. And I have been doing everything in my power to try to push You know, relentlessly been working and even discuss talking to other contractors because, you know, he's kind of taking a long time. >> And it even be willing to do that to get if I could just have. One more hearing to kind try to push as much as I can before. The huge fines are are put on the property. fine. >> Again, let me a lot of this is based on the fact that this case, initial inspections case with the 11/13/2023, you know, we do these these violent cases don't really hang around here that this long this isn't new really unusual. So. You know, again, I'm inclined me. I was going to tell you, man, gonna go ahead. Just in it. You know, I have the affidavits and admitted. >> And impose the fines the cost. But I I do keep the door open to you. If you just you know, if you decide you're going to step it up and get it done here in the next couple months, you know, come on back to me and all I'll take another look at the fines and costs, OK, and >> and how do I come back to you? Do I contact you go through this city? Joy? Scheduling charring? Yeah, you would. go through the city would just say I'm ready to. >> you know, I've completed the work out a violation after 3 years and I you know, I want to go ahead and set a hearing and bring it back to me and all revisit the fines and costs. All right. So the miss how all this could be. Go ahead and and proceed with the on the 2 cases here on the first case. This is the first one, Nick. >> The first time. >> So on 0, 0, 1, 6, 6, we some of civil fine that began running on. January. The 5th of 2024. Through September 15th of 2026. That's 985 days at $100 per day for $98,500. 20 inspections that $1665. So the city would be asking you to enter the affidavit into posed to find some cost shown as exhibit number 2 on this case. >> it, the affidavit in the I based on the affidavit on pose the fine on the affidavit, which is $98,500. I'll start of the running $500 per day until the violations are corrected. >> Now. >> Opposed ask a question about that. I'm getting violation. But again, now even know I had approved permits and a contractor like the fines are starting again. >> The violations the violations occurred in the rye violations have been running for you. I normally say days but I'm gonna say years now. if the and told the violations are corrected, the fine will run it at $100 per day. Again, I can revisit all fines and costs, but a lot of it depends on how how, how actually expedite of the work is at this point. I will. I will certainly revisit that. But yes, there are fines running it because there are violations. It still exist. And they've been you know, the original again, point out to case originated back in November, 13th of 2023. So that's our issue here today. But I'm gonna go ahead post the fines and costs. Start the $100 fine. And then we'll go to the second case. >> The second case, the civil fine began running on January, the 5th of 2024. through September 15th of 2026. Again, that's 985 days at $100 per day for $98,500.20, inspections $1665. The city would ask that you enter this affidavit into evidence of exhibit number 2 and to impose the fines and costs. >> All right. I will do that out affidavit and based on the affidavit impose the fines and cost 98,500 knowledge and civil fine Costa, 16 65 $100 per day. Gailey running fine. I will not reset here in the hearings in these 2 cases will be reset at the request of the respondent. And the city of 0 and or the city of Sarasota. again, just search duralls, concise. Yeah, it's in your power. Just reset the hearing. As soon as you complete the working and the the violations are corrected with the inspections in the work being done and then come back to me and I'll revisit finds in cost on these things. And again, I will just tell you my bench park will be how quickly expedite the work. Okay. All right. Have a good day. Take care. Thank you. bye. >> We're going to go on record for city of Sarasota verse Angel Delgado Junior and just he's a it's a case. Number 2026, 0.

The application was received by the city back in December. The permit was issued on April, the 14th. And it looks like just need some inspections and the timeline for inspections right? let you tell you want change you ask me if it's possible. If he can start getting his inspections one-on-one because he knows that was. >> permit was for one. But he wanted to know if they can start coming to do all the inspections are still about 6 months away from the completed. But there's a lot of stuff that already been completed that can get inspected. And he wanted to know if they can get that started one at a time. >> That might be something you need to call the inspections line for. The okay. OK, we do have a okay. We have one inspection that was passed back in June, but I think that's probably a question for the inspections line or the building division. I can't answer because I don't schedule inspections and I don't coordinate with the building inspectors. He said a lot of the work has already been but they're still about 6 months away from the final. >> You know everything but a lot of the stuff that originally like the original deck that's already done, right? That started the whole thing that finished the defense is done. >> So things like that. So the than that, he says everything's moving along. Just won't start getting stuff inspected. >> Yeah, I would call permitting and they can probably work you through. Give you 2 inspections and give you some more information. I just don't have that information get I think the city would be comfortable pushing this out 60 day since the permits active and they seem to be pushing forward and moving along. Let's up in front of a November. Looking at the next hearing to be scheduled on November. The 19th. And what time of day is good for you all mornings afternoons like like to like billion 10, 30 and I have a 10, 30 on November. 19th. >> No, away. >> All Looking to get out the case that the November 19th at 10:30AM, for the violation continuing continuing of 105, 0.1.

So we did a stipulated continuance. So I was hoping was going to be here today. Anyway, the violation is for Florida building code. One of 5.1 for an interior renovation without a permit. The application was received on April. The 23rd permit was issued on May. The 29th. So at this point, we just need the notice of commencement and all the inspections called to close out the permit. So I think the city would be looking to have the violation cured within. 45 days. >> all due order, often a violation of one of 5.1 is continuing. Indicate the respondent show here in fully remedy the violations within 45 days. And we just the kid he's required attend the next hearing. And what her son available time we have November.

I'd like to see what the status is of the permits and things it looks like it's pending plan review, but we need some movement. I think the city is looking for some movement. So it's pending plane corrections. All right, sir. >> Just that for me, for the rest of. I haven't got it because took some numbers. see you back the one that because a recent survey did that so they think they can that being by when that restaurants are rated does. So I don't know what to do. What doing. The >> I mean, you got we get people get after the fact permits all the time. Yeah. But right. So the work started. So somebody needs do to put a Napa permit application. Reflecting the work that's already been done in Coleman spectrum. That's how it's done. >> Maybe they don't understand what I'm saying is sounds like it. >> And when getting by because the have 80. >> Yeah. But the work's already done. So the contractor doesn't want want to certified somebody else's work icing. it's common. But there's there are people that do specific these things. Yeah, you're going to have to find a plumber who does the after the fact trying to think what would his method be? Didn't do that? I wonder, I I mean, just make sure they're licensed. You know? Yeah, make sure their license. Look at the dbpr something Google and then follow up with dbpr and stuff. Yeah.
