Ticket Appeal - Regular Meeting

Thank you. Thank you.

you

So everyone, we're going to stay as quiet as possible. And if you go over to speak with the code enforcement person to try to work things out, if you can, And if that's your desire, quiet, quiet with it, please. Thank you. We're going to start. I'm just signing some documents, but we'll go ahead and start. Good morning, everyone. My name is Dawn Grace Jones on this July 16th, and I'm the person assigned to hear these cases. And we usually start with the Pledge of Allegiance. I'm going to ask that we all stand. and do the pledge, please.

Do you solemnly swear or affirm that the testimony you are given today is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Thank you. You may be seated.

Carefully, please. So I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you to this meeting for the City of Miami Appeal Hearings. My name is stated as Dawn Grace Jones, and I am the hearing officer assigned to hear these cases today. These hearings are conducted by the city of Miami, and I'm the officer to hear this. The purpose of these hearings is to give the alleged violators the opportunity to appeal the decision of the code enforcement inspector, the issuance of that violation. That's what you would be appealing, right? And that's why we're here. These hearings are conducted in a quasi-judicial manner, and as stated, I'm going to hear the case. My responsibility is to act much like a judge in the court and to hear the evidence of cases presented by the code enforcement inspector and then to hear the evidence presented by the property owner. The hearings are open to the public. So everyone, as you have been, would be placed under oath, including the code enforcement inspectors. everyone and understand that no rules of evidence, no formal rules of evidence are applicable here. So if I find that the evidence is relevant, I might admit it or I will admit it. And if I find that it's reliable, regardless of any common law, I will admit that evidence. But when you have evidence, you're going to need a copy for the file. If you have something that you're presenting and you want the city to look at it and you want me to see it, you need to have a copy for the file, okay? And everybody has the right to call and examine witnesses. And that's for those who are having a full hearing because a lot of you may have settled your cases. That's your right. It's also your right to have a full hearing. But now if you have a hearing, understand my responsibility is to be the fact finder. And when I do that, I'm looking at two things, whether the violation occurred and whether the person named is responsible for that violation. So those are the only two things I really look at, and that's what you'd have to disprove, right? Failure to comply with, once I make a determination, would be a problem. I will give the amount of the civil penalty. I might also add an administrative cost. I might not. Failure to comply within the time will result in referral to the Code Enforcement Board, which may cost additional fines per day. That's when you have that per diem fine and it goes up every day. That's when that happens. You may seek to overturn or the code enforcement inspector may seek to overturn my decision by going to the appellate division of Miami-Dade Circuit Court within 30 days of the issuance of the order. Okay? So after the code enforcement inspector has put on their case at this podium, everyone here will go to this podium one at a time, and you'll put on your case. Now that's provided you have a full hearing, a game. If you are settling, we'll do the settlements first and you'll be called one at a time and you'll go to this podium. That's how that works. And the reason we do that is I need to make sure this is what you've agreed to. And so after you agree, if you agree, or after you do your case, whatever you do there, you're going to come up to the clerk here. There are two copies of each order and you're going to sign both. and then you're going to take one, and that's yours, and the city keeps one. So that's just the order of things. We can start now, everyone.

Yes.

So ordered. Thank you. So I need you to come up. You're going to sign both copies. You're going to take one with you and take the instructions for payment with you.

So, sir, did you understand what's going on with your case? It appears that the power of attorney had an issue as it relates to the witnesses. Sorry? He's the owner, so this is not the same person. And he says he's settled, so we need the documents. So you guys finished the paperwork on it, right?

But. We need the paperwork, we need to do this.

I may have to rewrite it for you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hey, good morning. Your name, please.

Good morning. Ezequiel Moreno.

All right, I think we can go ahead and start our first trial. How many trials do we have? Well, right now we only have two and it's the same property owner. It's going to be Inspector Haynes. So the first one will be, and we have a late check-in now who's going over stuff too. I don't know what they decide to do. Page 72. It's going to be 3201 Elizabeth Street. Ticket number 00167619. You need to have a seat. No, you cannot. I've called something else. You'll have to wait. Let me pull this one up.

Elizabeth Street has it. Hold on, 619. All right, here we go, okay.

Oh. I think I need a new computer. No, even when I press on this and try to type in something, it won't even let me do it. Yeah. Don't look quickly if you have.

Yeah. Don't look at that fast. All right.

We're ready when you are, Madam Magistrate.

We are ready, ready, ready.

Go ahead, please. Okay. Inspector, can you please state your name for the record?

Inspector Stephen Haynes, City of Miami, Solid Waste.

Okay. Did you issue the property at 3201 Elizabeth Street, the ticket that's shown here on page one for a violation that occurred on May 19th at 1.53 p.m.?

Yes, ma'am.

Okay. And you issued a $75 ticket. For overgrown grass coming into the public right-of-way, is that correct?

Yes, ma'am.

All right. And in this particular instance, you put together pages 1 through 39 for today's hearing?

Yes, ma'am.

Okay, and included in that is a copy of the ticket, as well as the summons for today, which was sent to the owner pursuant to the property appraiser report and the registered agent for that corporation, is that correct?

Yes, ma'am.

And within this composite exhibit is copies of all of the notices that were sent, the certified mailing, the proof of mailing, the affidavit of posting and mailing, as well as copies of the property appraiser report and the Sunbiz report, is that correct?

Yes, ma'am.

Okay, so we're flipping through those. On pages 16 and 17, we have the copy of the appeal. And at the top of page 17, Madam Magistrate, the appeal, as no due process, insufficient notice, and opportunity to cure improper conduct by Inspector Haynes.

Okay.

Here we have the deed. And now we have all the reports here, including the Sunbiz report. So in this particular instance, do the photos fairly accurately depict what the property looked like on the date in question?

Yes, ma'am.

Okay. And so we have overgrown property, we have it overgrown into the public right-of-way as well, is that correct?

Yes, ma'am.

Okay. This time the city seeks to admit pages one through 39 into evidence. So admit it. Did you have any conversations with the owner?

Afterwards, yes, ma'am.

Okay, and what was that?

We had a meeting at the office to discuss the violation of the issuance of them.

OK, well, what was said?

Oh, we were just talking about how the office goes about and the inspectors go about siting properties and the notice, the mailing. The chief inspector was there as well as my direct supervisor.

OK.

All right, at this time the city seeks, I think I already sought to admit the exhibit, so the city has no further questions at this time.

Thank you, thank you. Sir, please state your name for the record.

Good morning, it's Randy Carballo. Mr. Carballo.

Sir, I'd like to hear from you. You've heard the city's case as it relates to the pictures showing the overgrown grass, everything. So I'd just like to hear from you as to your defense.

Yeah, absolutely. One, thank you, and sorry to be wasting time with this. The reason I'm here generally is these are two tickets. The others were waived or whatever else, but this was a series of probably 15 tickets, violations, et cetera. that candidly we just thought were predatorial, and so I'm here out of principle. Both of the cases we'll see today are the same ticket, just one day after the other. The notices through certified mail that I think were in that 39-page exhibit didn't arrive till the 25th or the 20, I'm sorry, the 26th, I believe. I have emails here communicating with Inspector Haynes. The day we received them, the day before we received them, telling him we would cure it because it was the first time we were informed of the situation, and then the ticket came formally thereafter. There's pictures here of the site the day the formal notice was received, clean and clear. Again, I live in the neighborhood. I walk my daughter around here all the time. I want the city to look beautiful. I think everybody in the city should just have proper opportunity to care.

Right. So what is the exact offense? What are you saying happened that you should not have to be responsible for this violation?

We were just not given notice of... there just wasn't a reasonable notice period to allowing us time to cure without understanding of the offense. And we explained that to Inspector Haynes and the rest of the team. And there was other tickets and issues for similar issues on the site. All those were cured and all those were waived. But we didn't receive notice until, like I said, the 26th. And it was cured immediately.

Okay. You mentioned how the violation is that it was very high, the grass. And I'm looking at that. So you said you walk with your daughter. Did you see it getting where it was getting extremely high, unreasonably high, or you didn't notice it?

Personally, yesterday we were out of town for two weeks, and I saw it high again, and we just had it cut. This is just an active construction site. We were out of town these days, and that's the reason why.

That's how it got like that.

Madam Magistrate, I don't know what, you're not entitled, there's no entitlement to a time to cure. The property was posted on the same day the violation was issued, whether they pay attention to their construction site and what's posted on it is purely up to the owner of the property. The receiving in the mail is your secondary notice and from when you receive it, if you actually get it, that gives you the time with which to file your appeal. But on page 35, as you can see, and it's time stamped on May 19th, the same date the ticket was issued, the property is posted. So notice was provided the exact same date as the ticket. Then it was mailed. We can't control the time it takes to mail, which is why for ticketing cases, your time to appeal doesn't just run from the date it's posted. It can also run from the date you actually received the mailing. So it can extend it out because you want people to be able to appeal a ticket. So that's the difference. If the owner is in belief that they're entitled to a warning or a cure time, the reality is you do have a time to cure here. Not to get rid of the ticket, but rather if you don't take care of it, The case can then be taken as a summons before the code board where you could face daily fines if you don't take care of it. So in this case, it's a $75 ticket that was issued.

Right. Sir, do you want to respond to that? Because I understand that, and it is posted, and it's posted on that day. So that is just another backup as it relates to mailing. But you did have notice the day that It was issued. Right.

I appreciate the notice to the site. As I said, we don't walk the site daily. We have people to do that and whatever else. And candidly, their role is to build a site, not to relay notices. But nonetheless, if that is what should happen when a notice is sent formally to an owner from that, it doesn't matter when the issue happened. That doesn't make sense in my head because that's the first time an owner would conceptually know. But even more so, that just wasn't the precedent that was held with the 10 other violations that we talked about.

We're only going to talk about this violation at this time, right? And the second thing is it was posted. So there was notice. There was sufficient notice when it happened because of the posting. That is the first line. That's the first way it happens. So it was posted. You said, no, that's not, you know, you got to, you know, it came in, it was late, da-da-da, and that's what you're, but you're not focusing on the notice. The notice was posted. So that's your notice. That's your initial notice. That's everybody's initial notice. It's left on the site. So we can see, oh, we have an issue here. And then we get something in the mail later. But we have an issue here. So the notice was up. Is there anything else and different you'd like to say? Because I'd like to hear it. Thank you.

You have anything else? No. No, ma'am.

Okay. I'm going to go ahead and rule. Do I have paperwork? Thank you. Right. I'm going to uphold this ticket that the violation did occur. I'm going to state it has been affirmed and you are the person responsible it was a 75 ticket i'm adding an additional hundred dollars for court costs and that's what i'm doing that is my order so ordered i'm just filling out the paperwork now so you can come up and you can please sign um the paperwork

And all we have left is a property manager here who's claiming the owner is coming. The owner's coming. The owner's still not arrived. Now he says he's 20 minutes away because he was coming in on a flight. I guess we'll leave that one to the end as we go through finishing, and you can decide what it is that you want to do, Madam Magistrate. But as I explained to them, we started at 9 o'clock. So... The gentleman tried to speak to me on speakerphone. I told them no, that was not appropriate. We're in a hearing. I just want to let you know, put that on the record.

Okay, so what's next? What are we doing next?

I guess once she's done with that, we can go ahead and call up all the failure to appears. Sir, if you have a question, you can ask the clerk over there. Or you can wait till we're done recalling everything.

Thanks so much.

So we'll start on page one. And I think for Commodore Plaza, you can just say...

I can't believe those people didn't show up. That's crazy. All right.

But anyway, we're on page one.

Okay, one second here. Okay, that's a no show. Okay. Okay, page 21. No, that's reset. It's reset?

That was reset to September 16th, 2026. Okay. Reset.

Okay, page 30. Case number 00166212. Property address 1776 Southwest 16th Terrace. No-show.

So all of these no-shows will automatically become ticket as upheld, Madam Magistrate, just to put that on the record.

All of the no-shows are upheld?

Yeah, the city has reviewed notice, postings, and everything else prior to the meeting to ensure it was proper.

Okay. Thank you.

Next case, page 34, case number 00163487.

So, Madam Magistrate, I indulge you. We have a property owner that has a lot of cases. They appealed them all. They have not shown up. So, I'd rather just use the page numbers for that. It would be page... 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, and 50 are a no-show.

Have they received proper notice?

They did receive proper notice, yes.

All upheld?

Yes.

And then they're going to have another set coming up, I think, on the next page.

Is page 30 a part of that?

No, page 30 is not a part of that.

But they receive proper notice as well? Yes. But that's upheld.

So now what do we have after page 50?

We have, oh, they're on there.

Then we're going to, okay, so then we have the same owner, but we have page 54, 56, 58, and 60. Okay. With notice.

Proper notice. Upheld.

Okay. Next case would be page 64. Case number 00165889. Property address 2136 Southwest 9th Street. No show.

And not only do they receive the mailing notices, the posting notices, but they also get an email because for everybody who, just so that you know, for everybody who online does it, they also get an email, correct? From our clerks, from the email address they gave us, we even email them, the person who requested it, they get an email telling them the date. Then we post the property, once it's closer, and send the certified mailing.

Thank you. So for every case that's called a no-show, they've had proper notice.

I won't add.

Thank you. Upheld.

Um... The next case would be page 66, which was here. 66 was here and entered an agreement.

But they left. So I believe that's a ticket that's to be upheld.

66, they obviously had proper notice, did not finish the process here, so it's upheld. Go ahead.

Next case would be page 78. Case number 00166701. Property address 1381 Southwest 23rd Street. No show. Upheld. Next case would be page 95. Case number 00157918. Property address 1888 Northwest 56th Street. No show.

Upheld.

Next case, page 102. This is the one where the property manager is here. I don't know. He's left now. He said he requested a trial. It was 940. He said the or 9.30ish, said the owner was right on his way, then came back up to me right after he finished, I think, the last trial before the last settlement. So he was filling out his stuff, and that was about, I think that was about 9.50, between 9.50 and 9.55, he was in front of me with, I guess, the actual owner on the phone, Stating he's 20 minutes away. He's going to be here. He's flying in from the West Coast. Then it was now there's a plane issue, which maybe there is. I don't know. I tried to put him on speakerphone. I didn't do that because obviously we're in a hearing. And the case was set to start at nine. The manager did not have a power of attorney.

Do we have many other cases? Because we can do those really quickly. No, I mean, this is it.

Well, after this, we're almost done. So if he shows up and comes running in, we can always motion to undo the failure to appear upheld.

I don't have a problem with that. Right. 102. 102? Okay.

Okay, page 102, case number 00167031, property address 946 Southwest 4th Street, no show. Upheld. Next case, page 123, case number 00160787, property address 6910 Northwest 6th Court, no show. Upheld.

And that's it. Is that it? Everybody's done, right? That's it. So these hearings are adjourned. Thank you. Thank you.
