Thank you.
Good morning. This is the Friday, August the 7th docket of Louisville Metro Code Enforcement Board. My name is Chris Watlin. I'm a member of the board and will be hearing cases today along with Ms. Christine Snyder, who is seated to my far right. Ms. Pam Waddell is out today, as is Ms. Anaya Folau. With me in the hearing room today from Code Enforcement staff, I have Mr. Devrod Abrams, who is our coordinator, and he will be calling cases and recording today's proceedings. I have Ms. Tammy Goatley, who is a code enforcement supervisor. She will be presenting case summaries, facts, and findings. I have Officer Tim Close seated to my left, who will be providing security here at the jail building today. I'm also joined by Assisted County Attorney, the Honorable Michael Spinlaw, representing the board as counsel, as the Honorable Haley Keene. Additional individuals may participate in a case. If they have relevant information, those individuals will be sworn in and introduced as needed. We are operating virtually today, as defined within the KRS guidelines for Oprah Rekker's meeting. At the onset, I want to clarify the role of the Board and the scope of today's proceedings. This Board is an administrative body of limited jurisdiction. We are here only to consider appeals of the specific citations that have been properly docketed for today. We cannot hear matters that are not on today's docket, and we do not address unrelated disputes or complaints. The Board does not interpret the law or provide legal advice. Our function is to act as a fact finder, determine based on the evidence presented whether the conditions existed at the time of inspection to support the issuance of a citation or applicable metro ordinances. I will read the following one time and one time only. It will apply to all cases we hear today. All participants must be sworn in before speaking. Please wait to be sworn in by Ms. Keene before you do so. Once sworn, you're testifying under oath and your testimony is a matter of public record. This is an official proceeding. Any false statement you made could be referred by this board for persecution, for perjury, and for false swearing. While these proceedings are far less formal than a court of law, the board will consider relevant and reliable evidence and will determine the credibility and weight to be given to that evidence. Please do not interrupt others while they are speaking. I will assure all parties that have relevant, relevant, relevant information time to speak. you know, once the other individual has finished speaking. If at any time things get out of hand, I will cease all communication until order is restored. After hearing from both the county and the appellant, the board will determine whether to uphold the citation or any associated fines. The board also has discretion based on the evidence to adjust the fine or to conditionally discharge it. Each case is decided on its own facts and merit, and prior outcomes do not control the result in any other case. The board, again, cannot and will not provide legal advice to any party. When your case is finished, please wait for a staff member to give a copy of today's order. If you're appearing virtually, a copy will be mailed to your address of record with the Jersey County Property Valuation Administration. With that, Mr. Abrams, can we hear in the pre-conference cases?

Okay, hearing no additional input to these pre-conference cases, I hereby uphold those pre-conference orders. Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. Again, my name is Chris Watling. I'll be hearing cases here today. Basically, the way it works, we'll call your case by the case number as well as the address. Once you hear the address, if you'll come up to the podium where you'll be sworn by Ms. Keene, then it'll be up to Ms. Goatley and Mr. Spinlaw to present the case for the county. After they're finished, they'll give you a chance to present your side of the case and then we will make a decision on your case. Make sure you get your paperwork before you leave. I say this every week and I'll keep saying it every week. I am not here to take your money. It does not benefit me at all. I don't get a bonus from it. What I want is your compliance. And if I can't get your compliance, you've decided that, and then that's sort of taking your money. And once I'm in your pocket, it's very hard to get me out of your pocket until I get that compliance. As long as you're working with me, I will work with you. If you're making concerted effort to get your property within compliance up to the community standards, I'll give you more time. It's when you sit on your butt, you lie to me, you blow smoke or whatever, and don't even try is when I start getting into your pocket. So with that being said, can we go ahead and call our first case?
ENF-PMNT-26-011040-4, 121 Ormsby Avenue, Unit 2.
Good morning, I'm Ken Plotnick, and I'm the attorney for the respondent, and I've got John Schenkenfelder with me as the witness.
Mr. Schenkenfelder, can you please state your name for the record?
John Schenkenfelder.
Do you swear or affirm the testimony you're about to give us the truth, the whole truth, and nothing about the truth?
Yes, I do.
Thank you. Tammy, can you please state your name for the record? Tammy Goatley. Do you swear or affirm the testimony you're about to give us the truth, the whole truth, and nothing about the truth? I do. Party search sworn.
On... July the 8th, 2026, there was a $500 penalty, and that was on for interior surface. Interior surface around back door has water damage. The original date on that was 5-29. Then we have a public nuisance. The back door is leaking every time it rains hard. The original date was 6-16, 2026. And then we have exterior door. And the rear door frame was leaking during last rainstorm. Rear doors damaged. Then we come back on August the 4th and we see that the interior surface, we had no interior. We didn't go inside. There's no entry. Same with the public nuisance. And same with the exterior door. We was not able to get inside to see the leak. And Only pictures I have is what they were able to take from outside. So it's hard to say.
I will submit that these photographs establish the conditions of the citation as they exist to the exterior of the building. We were unable to obtain access to the interior to confirm whether or not those circumstances did or did not exist.
Mr. Schenkelschilder?
If I could have until October 2nd, I can help your guy get in and see the inside. We're getting quotes for wrapping the outside right now with the historical preservation office rules, and it takes a little bit of time. If I could have, we'll be back on October 2nd for status, if that's possible.
We don't have a problem with that. October 2nd would be fine.
So in the matter of ENF-PMET-26-003615-4, the address being 121 Ormsby Avenue, number 3, we're going to pass this for status to October the 2nd.
Thank you.
Okay. On July the 8th, 2026, this is for 121. Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead. I'm sorry.
ENF-PMT-26-003615-4, 121 Ormsby Avenue, Unit 3. July the 8th, 2026, there was a $400 penalty. And that was for...
Interior surface around back door has water damage. 118 public nuisance, the same.
Same with the door, no compliance, the rear door. I thought there was interior on this one as well. Let me see. That's still number two.
Oh, it's number two.
That's not our property there.
Yeah.
I got a picture of the opening where we prevented the raccoon from getting in. And we made some repairs to the roof, working with the tenant.
Yeah.
It seems like we got the problem under control.
Do you mind if we see that photo? Because this is the one that we were more worried about because there was damage to the ceiling. Oh, oh.
It's challenging to work with.
Yes.
So we went back. Yeah, we did go back on August the 4th as well. He did get in with the tenant. He did make a comment that he's not seen the raccoons anymore. But he still has the leak. Yeah.
Just so you're clear, these photos are of a drop ceiling. So when you take a picture above a drop ceiling, that's what it looks like. It's not pretty.
It's not an apartment. Right, right. But I think, yeah. That's in the actual apartment. I went past that. This was just the main concern right here.
Yeah, that looks like water damage. Right, right. Agreed. We'll take care of that right away. If you want to come by next week, it'll be fixed.
Do you have Kevin's number?
I do.
Okay.
This was the one we were more worried about because of that water damage in the ceiling there. We were worried about the structure of the building, but it looks like they have replaced the roof there to prevent this. So we would be okay pushing this out to October as well. We would ask, I think for this one, we would ask for total compliance just because of the nature of the... well, the damage there.
Yeah, we're agreeable.
Got it.
So in the matter of ENF-PMAT-26-0036-15-4, address 121 Ormstein Avenue 3, we're going to pass this as well to the October the 2nd. However, this one will be for total compliance.
Thank you.
Is that it?
Perfect. I know. Thank you.
Next case.
ENF-PMNT-26-005922-115900, Middleton Road. Ms. Schneider?
Good morning, ma'am. Good morning. Can you please state your name for the record?
Yeah, Wendy Johnson.
Please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm the testimony you're about to give is the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth? Yes, I do. All right. Parties are sworn.
On June 26, 2026, there was a $800 penalty, and that was on cleaning. The original date was April the 9th of 2026. And we have... Illegal parking. All vehicles on the property needs to be licensed. The original date is April the 9th of 2026. And we have accessory structure. Oops. And no compliance. Make the necessary repairs to the garage. Original date is April the 9th of 2026. And then we have a non-permanent use of residential. The original date is April the 9th of 2026.
Then we come back on August the 4th
And we see the cleaning, no compliance, the legal parking, no compliance, the accessory structure, no compliance, and the non-permanent use of residential and total compliance. And I will get some pictures.
While she's doing that, did we have this case on a couple weeks ago for this same property for, I think it was a zoning violation? Okay. While she's pulling that up, do you, I apologize, I can't remember what we did on that case. Do you remember what we, how much time we had given?
September 25th. Okay.
Oh, yeah. I'm fine with that. Yeah.
Okay, these are just photos that we have. It's hard to tell. I could see that one's 24, but I can't read what the other one says. It looks like March is 26, and it's a car under which that's fine.
I will submit that these photographs establish the conditions of the citation as they exist at the time of the citation as they still exist. We would recommend that we go ahead and push this out to that same date because there's similar violations for the zoning and for the property maintenance. So if we're giving them time on the zoning, we would be fine to also give them time on the property maintenance to get that taken care of.
What are your plans on getting this cleaned up?
We have consistently been cleaning. I have photographs to show the progress that we have made. One of my main issues is the citation itself was issued on June 26th, but I didn't get the citation in the mail until July 16th. And then one of the violations was ordered to be in compliance by June 28th before I even received the citation. Two other alleged violations have an August 25th compliance date, which has not yet passed. The vehicle allegations do not identify which specific vehicle was unlicensed, inoperable, abandoned, or improperly parked. The non-permitted use section lists general vehicle rules, but it doesn't identify which vehicle was Metro was talking about. We have consistently acted in good faith. On April 16th, 71 days before I even received this citation, Nugent Sand delivered 9.8 tons of dense grade aggregate so we can park our vehicles on that. I have the delivery ticket and I have photographs showing the work. Let's see. I'm just requesting dismissal because we are consistently complying, but the citations that you all are giving are not showing the status of the work that we have completed.
If I can say something real quick, on the vehicles, from the notes that we have, I mean, they've talked to you, but it doesn't matter, any vehicle, they all need to be licensed on hard, durable surface. Right. So you can have a red Chevy there one day, and if we come back and see a white Chevy, and if it's not licensed, we're still using that as a noncompliance because you brought, it's still a vehicle.
I understand, but I'm thinking the vehicle that you all are talking about is the RV that I have, and it is licensed.
Like I said, I think when we come back, if we go out there and see more clearly of the cars that are there now, if they're all licensed.
Right. I don't think we'll be able to agree to dismissal here. We can give you more time there. We can push it out to that September date. I don't remember what date it was you said.
25th.
September the 25th to give you some more time to get this taken care of. There are a number of different violations that aren't just the cars, so we won't be able to agree to dismiss this today. But yes, and they might not specifically put down which vehicles need to be licensed, and that's for the reason that she said, because the vehicles can change. Right. And we have had instances where people will alternate which vehicles are on their property, hoping to be in compliance. So that's why they don't do that. But no, we won't be able to agree to dismissal today, but we can agree to give you until September the 25th.
And then the only other thing that I would like to say, as far as the fence issue, is concerned that they were talking about. We have started installing a privacy fence, and I have photos of that as well. But with all these fines and everything that I'm getting, I'm kind of running out of funds. So I am doing the best that I possibly can do on what I have to work with.
Right, and we appreciate you working with us. We'll continue trying to work with you, and we will agree to pause these until that date. Yeah, that'd be fine.
Do you have an inspector that they're numbered to reach out to so you all can meet so they could show you exactly?
Well, I've had Mr. Malarkey out there. I've had Ms. Racky out there. There's been a couple other ones. And then there was a new gentleman out there last week. I don't remember what his name was, but... I'll have one just directly. That way you're just dealing with one.
Now, malarkey is zoning. That's a zoning issue. But for property maintenance, I'll have Laura reach out to you.
That would make things a lot more simpler because I'm having a really hard time keeping up with everything.
In the case of ENF-PMNT-26-005922-11, address being 5900 Pendleton Road, we're going to take this out to the September 25th date for status. Thank you, ma'am.
Next case. Yeah.
Sir, what's your address?
1438.
Oh, the gentleman that's sitting down in the blue.
Okay, I think he was next.
ENF-PMNT-26-003594-5 4208 Sherman Avenue.
Good morning, sir.
Good morning.
Can you please state your name for the record?
Michael Castro Giovanni.
Great.
And I've previously confirmed that he is also on the deed. Do you swear to affirm the testimony about to give us the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
Yes.
All right. Thank you.
On June the 9th, 2026, there was a $500 penalty, and that was for cleaning. The original date on that is March the 10th of 2026. And we have X-19. The original date on that is 3-10-2026. Repair or replace siding, soffit, window frame, trim, etc. Protect wood.
Then we come back. On August the 3rd, and we see the cleaning, no compliance, the illegal parking, no compliance.
Oh, I'm sorry, not the illegal parking.
The X-19. And let me get pictures. All right.
Here was the cleaning. It looks like there has been some improvement, a lot of it. The only issue I think right now is I know you painted it, but you still have to put up siding or a protection. You can't just paint the Tyvek.
It's temporary.
Okay.
I will submit these photographs, establish the conditions of the citation as they exist at the time of the citation, as they still exist, and I'll reserve any questions for the appellant.
What, sir?
I did paint it green like I told y'all.
Yeah, you did.
I called it green. And I did do what I wanted to do, piss the guy off who called on me. He's mad. He hates it. But I have cleaned a lot. All the cans in the back are gone. And the side, I should have took pictures of it. I cleaned all the debris up and all this crap right there is gone. All this? The bicycle and I got a picture if you'd like to see it.
Where are these pictures taken?
8-4, 8-3.
I've done a lot of work and I, A lot of people last time got like two months. I only got a month. Could I get more time?
Yeah.
Because the vehicles, I need to get the vehicles and some more painting.
That is.
What is all the, I'm sorry, you can put it down there too.
A lot of it's wood.
Like this, like right here. Like near the garage.
Right. A lot of it's, I don't know, were they four by, not four by, like six by six.
And some shingles.
Can that stuff be stored inside?
Probably. That's probably what I end up doing. Okay. I may not look it, but I'm close to 70 years old and it kills me. Yeah.
No, it looks a lot better. It does. So you're just going to put up siding here?
Not yet. I want to use that composite wood. Actually, I decided that versus siding because I don't know. I can get gray, and I think it won't look as bad.
Okay.
In my side porch, I'm thinking about painting it orange for a little bit.
How much time do you think you'd need to get this taken care of?
Well, my time is slowing down because I do lost luggage a little bit. And all the vacations are done, so I'll have a little extra time. So, I don't know.
Month, month and a half.
Because the cars would be nothing to get rid of. I should have done it, but...
Well, we appreciate you working with us here. We appreciate the work that you've done. So we're going to give you two months. We would request two months, but we would put this on for total compliance just because all we're looking at left is getting the siding on or composite wood, as you said, and then cleaning up the rest of the stuff in the back. So we would ask for two months for total compliance here.
So in the matter of ENF-PMNT-25-003594-5, the address being 4208 Sherman Avenue, we're going to pass this for total compliance to the October 2nd date. And that will be a firm total compliance. So it's got to be done. I don't care if you paint it plaid, pink, beige, fuchsia, whatever, whatever your motivation is to get it done, get it done.
Okay. And one last thing about what the woman was saying about the mail. Y'all did mail me out something the 7th. And it goes to Cincinnati for some ungodly reason. Because the postmark is Cincinnati. I'll bring it next time.
I'm not doubting you one bit because I think I've got experts on this panel to tell you that USPS sucks butt.
I agree, too. But the one I got for last month, I got it a day before the hearing. And I know y'all mailed it out. But like I said, it goes to Cincinnati.
We'll be back here on October the 2nd. We know that. We don't have to mail that out. So we'll see you then.
Thank you all.
Thank you.
I don't know.
Is there anyone online for a case?
No, sir, we do not.
Nope, sure none. Mr. Benz is on.
Mr. Benz.
John Benz. Good morning. I think you all dismissed mine. I just don't know if my client was there because I thought you all said 1438 Berry Boulevard had paid their citation. Yes.
Yeah, he paid. Okay.
Yep. Yes, that one has been conditionally discharged, sir.
Okay.
Anything else?
I just didn't know if my client was there and heard it or not because he said he was going in person.
I think he did show up. Yes. Okay.
He did show up, and we did take care of him.
All right. Thank you all. Have a good week.
You too. Who else do I have online?
Good morning. Lewis Romero for 1408 Cardinal Drive.
ENF-LEAD-25-00218-5, the address being 1408 Cardinal Drive. Yes, sir.
Mr. Romero, can you please restate your name for the record?
Luis Romero.
Please raise your right hand. Do you swear from the testimony you're about to give us the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
I do.
Great. Parties are sworn.
On October the 3rd, 2025, there was a $500 penalty, and that was for a lead assessment. And it looks like what's happened is he did have a lead assessment, but it was just a partial. So we asked him to... get the other partial done in order to have the full assessment. So that's what we're waiting on.
Mr. Merrow, can you tell us what's going on here?
Yes, sir. You guys came out in October and cited the exterior door trim and we had that we had that inspected. But then we met with the code enforcement officer and he needed us to have also the interior. So we did have that done. That was done in April. I have a receipt here that we paid $857 to the same company that did the exterior. That was CMEC. And they also gave us a report on the 29th after we paid that that amount. They told me they were going to send that into the code enforcement officer that had cited us and with the health department. And I'm assuming they didn't because we're still on the case.
That seems to be what's going on here, Mr. Romero. You said you have the report?
Yes. It might be hard to see there, but this is the actual report for the interior part. Okay. Okay.
Can you email that to one of us?
Yes. I can send that over right now. Give me one second.
We're going to stick the email in the chat for you there, Mr. Romero.
I'll send it right over. Give me one second. Ms. Tammy, I think I do have your email, by the way.
Oh, OK, great.
Yeah. OK.
and charge probably the machinery's down again.
Okay, I just sent it over.
Okay.
Interior part.
It doesn't surprise me. Same way I got a crit.
You didn't have to ask. I actually got a Christmas card in April, and it was postmarked Indianapolis.
It was mailed two miles from my house.
Hmm.
Kind of sounds like the logic that they use for busing back in the day.
I know that's why I'm going down and check.
Neither is Mitch. Oh no, that's not her.
That's somebody else. I think I got it. No, it'd be coming from Evansville. 1 0. Yeah.
Yeah, I know we've emailed each other before. I'm just it's not popped up yet.
Yeah.
Yeah, while we wait for this email to come in, do we mind to see if there's anyone else online and potentially recall this case once we've got that?
Yes, sir. No problem.
Is there anyone else online whose case has not been called?
Anyone else online whose case has not been called?
That's right. Is this, was that report for two and five here?
We've got the same property for, it looks like they're both lead. Okay, got it.
Oh, and I didn't call off, is there two of them?
Mm-hmm, there's dash four and dash five. Or dash two and dash five.
Oh, so you don't have it down here. Okay. Do I need to read off? Let's see.
I don't know.
It's the same. Okay. Oh, here it is. I got it. Okay. Yeah, they got interior.
This is all it is, and then we send this over to the health department. Mm-hmm.
Seeing as we have the assessment here, as we had requested, we would be all right to go ahead and conditionally discharge this one. Thank you.
Okay. So in the matter of ENF-LEAD-25-00218-5.
You've got two and five.
Two and five. Okay. Okay. So dash two and dash five for 1408 Cardinal Drive. We are going to conditionally discharge both of these. So that $500, that $1,500 will be set aside for a period of one year, provided we have no more problem with the lead cases there. And that's my ruling.
Thank you, sir. Good luck, Mr. Romano. Thank you. Yes, sir. No problem. Thank you.
Last call. Is there anyone online whose case has not been called?
Is there anybody else on? That's it. That's all. Okay.
Let's call it no shows.
Oh, yes. We do have an additional case that's so... for in the matter of ENF LMPD 26000032. They are not here today. They have reached. We do have an agreement with them. We're just having trouble getting the signed documentation. So we would ask that this one be rolled one week. If they're not here next week, we're going to probably ask that this go ahead and be upheld because we can only wait so long to get signed documentation.
Okay, so on the matter of ENF-LMPD-26-000032, I understand there is a potential agreement, and we are going to pass this to the 14th of August next week. Was the notice sent for 8.30 or for 9.30, Mr. Spinlaw?
Okay.
Mr. Abrams, let's do the no-shows.
ENF-PMNT-25-012666-4, 1410 Dixie Highway.
Notice was sent.
Yes, sir.
For non-appearance above the citation, the $400 fine.
ENF-PMNT-26-003957-3653, Cary Court. Notice was sent. Yes. For a non-appearance of both the citation $300 fine. ENF-PMNT-26-011419-15210, Benson Court.
Ms. Goatley, you want to speak on that one?
The owner came into the office to appeal an inspection and this was for the second one. With the first one, she had already paid. I wrote down the wrong inspection number, so that when they received it, they were saying that she already paid, so they just wiped it out. So what I'm asking is override to where she's in compliance, if we can change that to where the second inspection is conditionally discharged.
So the matter of ENF-PMAT-26-011419-1, the address being 5210 Benson Court, we're going to conditionally discharge this. And the $100 fine for a period of one year?
ENF-PMNT-26-013792-1, 3806 Grissom Way, Unit 3. Notice was sent? Yes. Now, in appearance, uphold the citation. The $100 fine? ENF-ZON-25-000676-2, 10808 Blue Lick Road.
If I may speak to this one, it appears that they have paid the citation for this, so I believe that we would ask that the appeal be dismissed, as there's nothing to appeal.
I've got to swear Mike, and if he's going to say... Go ahead, Mike. Can you just state your name for the record?
Mike Wiltshire.
Do you swear or affirm the testimony you're about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
I do. Thank you. And yes, I assume that the reason that they... were on the agenda today is because they were supposed to give an update on the rezoning proposal that's going on for the property. They submitted the application in April, so they should be making progress on getting it scheduled. But they did pay the citation, so there's nothing to appeal.
So it just needs to be dismissed.
Yes, sir.
So on the matter of ENF-ZON-25-000676-2, address being 10808 Bluelick Road. The appellant has since paid the fine, so this matter is dismissed.
What about Hemlock Street?
