Wait, I just want to make sure we're on the right page. What's the page? Yeah. 67. 67. And what was that, Judge?

Thank you. How much time do you need? What have you done? 120 days. Okay.

Second. All those in favor? Aye. 120, sir. Thank you.

Aye. Thank you, sir. Thank you. You're welcome. Great evening. You too. That was last EOT? Perfect. Oh, you want to do mitigations? All right, mitigations. Let's go.

Good evening, by the way. My name is Adrian Henriquez. Okay. So you don't live in a property, so it's a rental.

I see you got your family here with you. I'm sorry? No, no, I'm just seeing who you got your folks with you in the audience and stuff, so yeah. Thank you.

Yeah, but we're human. We understand. Thank you so much. Going through things and stuff like that, especially if you hire somebody to do something, they run off with your money.

Okay, so there's been a motion that's been probably made and seconded for $5,000. All those in favor? No. All right. Can we get a new motion, please?

If we can really, really, really, really help them out, make a motion to make it zero.

Aye. Aye. Motion fails. Motion fails for lack of majority. So, I mean, unanimous. So, let's call for another motion. So, where are we at? We said no to 5,000. We said no to zero. So, we're somewhere in the middle. I'll second that. I'll second that, too. All those in favor? Aye. 2,000 sounds good.

Have a good one, okay? Yeah, wait for your... That side. Yeah, wait for them to sign off on it for you.

Yeah, it's 915,000, and today's your lucky day. That's a lot of training. A lot of money, but it's a minimal amount. What's the use of the property? Yeah, we understand. Okay. Yeah, I mean, there's a threshold that we have, so we understand.

Yeah, there's some other notes on the back end. They're all standing. Yeah, but it's okay. Here we are. The minimum is $15,000. Gotcha. Can I get a motion for $15,000? I make a motion for $15,000. I get a second. That's the lowest we can go anyway is $15,000.

Right. Yeah. Any other questions? Can I get a motion, please?

Well, I'm asking for a motion of 15,000, so can I get a motion?

That's not a bad discount. Yeah. So we've got a motion for $20,000. I second. I'll second.

All right. Thank you. Good evening. No problem. That's an $895,000 discount. Okay. Thank you. Next case.

Okay. Give us a second to get some background on this since we don't have it in front of us. Madam Attorney. 4101. Yes. 4101 Northwest 11th Place.

Okay, so you're still looking for it? Okay.

Now it's a vacant lot. Yeah, immediate use should be single family outside of that. But it's non-homestead, so you guys are not living in there or anything like that. Now it's a vacant lot. Now it's a vacant lot. Before it was non-homestead.

Because this is non-negotiable. This is something the city did. You have to pay the city. It's a help, I guess.

I move to do what the city requests. Yeah. Before we take a motion.

We just need to know the exact number. But here's the thing. We wouldn't give you mitigation without knowing that you've paid for what is owed. So I think that should be a good sign for you that we're even considering it.

And then we can consider to help you, yeah, because the previous use of the property was a single family home. Right, it was a home, right? Now it's a vacant site now. Yeah. Yeah, so that means it drops it down. We can go as low as potentially zero, right, Madam Attorney? Yes. If we wanted to.

There's no hearings in August. Today would have been a day for you to bring everything that you needed to bring, because there's no more hearings after this one until September.

That's on you on that one. But yeah, but I mean, look.

We can, yes. Yeah, if you want to make sure your money is good before you do anything else, maybe that's the best course of action. We can't give that type of advice here, but we can offer you the mitigation once everything has been cleared up. No. So it could be $10,000 or possibly lower. Yeah. Okay. Okay. And actually, it would be considered lower.

Was that homestead at the time of violation? No, it wasn't. No, it was not. It was just a single family. That's all. So, yeah, like I said, we can potentially go lower than the amount that's there, but we're not going to do any of that until we know you've resolved those issues. We're here to help.

Do we need a motion for that, just to be on the safe side? No? No? Do we need a motion for that to reset this case? Okay, thank you. All right, next case. See, you know, we want to help, but, you know.

Do you want them to speak on your behalf at any point? You can put your name and address on the record. Yeah. Hi. My name is Rob Hyman. And do you want to speak or no? Oh, there you go. No problem. We just want to make sure. Okay.

So they have a different registered agent that existed before?

The same registered agent that was sent all the information prior?

I second. So we got a motion that's been made and seconded to reduce it to $7,500, which is a discount of $502,000. $400,000 or something. No, $500,000.

Okay. But thank you. We appreciate you. And the American dream.

Thank you. Wait for your signing, okay? Oh, not bad. Big Dixie. Big discount. I know. Too slow. I know. Too slow. Too slow. We have a heart today.

I move to reduce it to $15,000. Second. That's a discount of $406,500. All those in favor?

Go, Paige. 31. Thank you. Good evening. Good evening.

Good evening, ma'am. State your name and address for the record.

Thank you. You currently live in a property?

That's why I look forward to having you homestead, folks. Thank you. You're welcome, ma'am. Have a good one.

Yeah, so you are responsible. It's your property, but we'll try to help you out here. Thank you. But you are responsible. Can I get a motion? I'll make a motion to bring it down to zero. I'll second.

Madam Attorney, where are we at with this?

Hold on. Let's make the motion first so we can get the order. We're not done.

All those in favor? Aye. Okay, so wait for your order so we'll sign off on it, okay?

State your name and address for the record.

Okay. So as of right now, what's the amount again?

3,100. 3,100, yeah. So right now, with the mitigation that we're offering, it'll be $3,100 from the 15,500.

I second. Okay. Do you want to say anything?

Yeah, it was two, but there's a threshold we have that we can't go below that one.

You said 3,100? 3,100, yes. Okay. All those in favor? No, no, no, no, no. One second here. Let's see what's going on.

Okay, thank you. All right, just wait for the order. All right, thank you. Next case. Is that the last of the mitigations?

All right, so we'll deal with that one second because we can't see it. You might want to do it together. No, I know, but I'm saying we'll wait until you pull it up.

Gotcha. Good evening, sir. Good evening. And good evening, ma'am. You state your names and address for the record.

Okay. And you can pull the mic a little bit closer to you. Maybe that's better. Thank you. All right. So we have the first case. And my name is Alitza Weiss, 3187 Royal Road. Okay. Thank you. The first case, the lien ran to $435,250. And this is a... It's a vacant lot?

Yeah, you have two cases currently right now.

All right. What's the second amount for the lien?

Can I get a second? Okay, you guys understand? We're good with that? Yeah, it's fine. Very much. All those in favor? Aye. Thank you. Okay. That's a very big discount.

Yeah, Madam Attorney, that's pretty interesting. What do you think about that one? I think that it was complied and, I mean, were they...

On behalf of ownership. Okay, you want the minimum?

All right, that's over a $500 and some thousand on the discount. We'll wait for your case.

All those in favor? Aye. Aye. It's the lowest that they let us go.

If it was, it would have been different. But it has to be at the time that we're doing it.

I'm aware. Okay, now I just want to make sure of that. We're trying to help, okay? It's a very good discount.

Well, once we get here, it's only mitigations. We can't relitigate the cases. Yeah, it's already been decided. It is what it is. I'm glad to help with the $206,000. The best we can do.

We got the address, 3811 Northwest 2nd Avenue.

Okay. Well, thank you very much for coming. Thank you.

Everything's been legalized. We need a motion for 10,000.

All those in favor? Aye. Thank you, board members.

Sir, you just said change of address to the county. It had to be to the city.

Yeah, the lowest we can do it right now is drop it down to $15,000, which would be a discount of $102,500.

I'll make a motion to bring it down to the lowest of $15,000. Yes.

All those in favor? Aye. So, you know, that's the best we can do at this moment, okay? And thank you for continuing doing what you're doing, you know?

Station name and address for the record.

It's a non-profit with the county. Okay. Put your name and address on record. Yep.

Yes, that's. Whatever with that name needs to show it.

That's the CDC. That would be normally a non-profit, that's CDC.

But that's not the entity that owns the property.

In the future, bring your daughter. All right.

Could you stay for the record? What is the use of the West with the cell and transference? What will be the use of the property going forward?

Thank you very much. Need that for the record. That's just 24 unit development. All for senior citizens. Okay. Can I have a motion?

Gotcha. And I see everything has been complied. You currently live in the property, correct? Thank you very much. Okay. Okay. Understood. We understand. Well, thank you for being a resident here. Can I get a motion? I move to reduce it to zero.

You got your ma'am. This way. That way. Wait for your order, okay?

What page? 73. 73. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Good evening. State your name and address for the record.

Okay, so as of right now, it's 10,000 or with unanimous? Potentially take it down to zero.

Well, we'll take a motion if someone wants to make one.

And let me just, before I call the vote, because I don't want us to go back and forth, so Right now, the minimum was initially 10,000. We've lowered it down to 5,000. And what I don't want to do is have a back and forth, vote, vote, vote, vote, vote, because we're going back and forth. And so I think 5,000 is like a consensus from what I'm seeing with our board members. Nope. So all those in favor, say aye. Aye. Thank you. Okay. Okay, so I just wanted to save you the time, but five was probably going to be the lowest we would have went because it's also now homesteaded as well. Okay. Thank you. Thank you very much, sir. Madam Attorney.

Okay, good evening, sir. Oh, you said 328?

Oh, it's a vacant lot. It's a vacant lot right now?

Maybe I just... Yeah, let's just verify to make sure we give you the right... Yep. The page number was... 75. 75. Yeah. Ran to $165,000 for the lien, so let's just make sure we got the right usage here. It's a parking lot, so it's always been vacant.

It's vacant. Then they were trying to do a parking lot on it. Couldn't get the permit to do it. Then he was fined for trying to do parking. Hold on.

And then it looks like it ran as a result. Just give us one moment. Let us check some background stuff on it.

7,500. 7,500 is the lowest we can go. All right, so that's the absolute lowest. So from 165,000 to 7,500 dollars.

Second. All those in favor? Aye. That's over $159,000 discount. Yeah, big discount. Wait for your order, okay?

3,900 is the lowest we can go. I'm sorry? 3,900 is the lowest we can go.

Already I can tell you the discount is going to be $3 million.

Oh, it was a triplex. So it probably got into a commercial.

Let's get some background real quick just to make sure we can verify.

Okay. So as of right now, we're still at 15,000.

We're not going to let you go to foreclosure. I'll tell you that.

We just want to check something real quick.

Well, I don't know. It doesn't look good right now. We don't know. Potentially.

This is like the third or fourth time now this year you've had complications.

This one is not my fault. I wonder if you've been talking bad about the electronic.

You would have to go to the appraiser office first, get that fixed.

So what we can do is we can reset this case for our September date, if you're okay with that, because that could be the difference for us considering maybe even a lower amount.

She still needs to do research. So, look, wait, before you do it.

Hold on, because she can pull the permit.

We're going to call another case, and then we'll come back to you, okay? Page 11, property address 1846 Southwest 22nd Terrace, case number CE2020-002955.

11. 11. State your name and address for the record. You can state your name and address for the record.

Thank you. And we have a lien that ran to $247,050. This is page 11 from... City View. City View.

How long have you been living in the property?

I'll make a motion to bring it down to zero.

All those in favor? Aye. Thank you. Just wait for your case. Okay?

All right, so here's the good news. Yeah. The good news is that this account is going to be over $3 million. The bad news is it's $60,000 total that you have to pay. I'm not going to fight you too much. Okay.

No, only because of the lack of union title. I understand. It's only going to work. Can we get a motion for the $15,000 for each of the four wheels?

All those in favor? Aye. Thank you. Thank you all. Thank you very much.

All right, sir. Just again, state your name, may I just for the record.

Can I get a motion or if there's any more discussion? We know it's a minimum of 10,000.

Second. I will second that. Is there any discussion? All those in favor? Aye. So reduce it from $3,740,000 to $5,000. Thank you so much. You saved my life. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. All right, wait for your order.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember. It's the violating owners here. Yeah. We remember. We remember. We remember.

That's what it says. It's a lien of $75,500.

Does he, does he understand what's happening? Does he understand what the bottom attorney just said? I think we need the interpreter. Wait a minute. No, you're not going to translate for him.

Yeah, it's only, yeah. Let him know, does he understand that he has not done anything since the last time he was here? Just doing an upload, like Madam Attorney said, it doesn't mean anything. You need plans, you need stuff. There's a lot of things he needs to do.

Madam Attorney, they requested to demolish the property?

Ask them as they upload it into the system. I'm not going to know what any of that means.

Is it simply... They can't really do anything because they don't have the money to do it unless they sell the property.

Right. It's a rock and a hard place. It's one in compliance, one not. But the one that he's trying to sell, he can't do anything with it because of this one. And they can't fix it because he doesn't have the money to fix it.

It seems like he needs help, and I don't think they know what to do. Because it's not necessarily a new construction. It wouldn't be a new construction.

Can you explain to him? He's got a lot of problems. Can you tell him that he, what Madam Attorney just said, they put new construction and what he needs is repair and remodel.

He's trying to legalize it. He's trying to legalize the little one that's there. He wants to legalize it. How old is he? How old is he? How old are you? 64.

They're going to walk him through this process.

Yeah. I got you. But you as the owner. You got to let the city help you with this one.

He could be there to assist, but let the city help you walk it through because we have a concierge for folks of a certain age. It's free. Yeah. Yeah.

Can I get a second? Second. All those in favor? Aye. All right, so we've granted the partial release.

Right. Okay, so she's going to draft it, so wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow she's going to send it to the clerks. We don't have it today. Tomorrow you'll have it. No, no, you don't have to come back. It'll be at the clerk's. And we'll remember if he comes back for mitigation. Sir, hold on, hold on, wait.

Yes. The owner of 911 and 901. Gotcha. And I see here we have a lien that ran to $104,000.

It's two different partials. One second here. It's not as if she's saying it's a vacant, one of them is a vacant property with just a shed sitting on it?

Partial release, right. What do you want? Yes. You're here for a partial release.

And who's doing the roof? Is it the county that's doing it for you? Is it the county that's doing the roof?

It's not about a shed It's about a lot of things so the trucks the buses are no longer there She told me to put

You have to address one thing at a time. What I suggest is you call the inspector, have the inspector go there, come next time, and maybe if you have everything resolved, we can take care of everything.

It's up to you. I'm trying to do the release. Yeah, she's trying to do a partial release. She's trying to do a partial release.

We can deal with the other stuff on the next one because we can check it.

Okay. I get a motion. Make a motion to give it a partial release. And then for her.

We'll do a mitigation later. Nothing we can do on that right now.

Yes, that's the motion. Second. Second. All those in favor? Aye. Okay, so we've given you the partial release. Wait for your order. She's going to draft up your order for the partial release, and then you can take that to show that you have the release done so that way it's not being held. And then you can finish applying for the loan to do the roof. We'll deal with the lien for the other property once the inspector goes out there and issues a compliance of affidavit saying you've done what you needed to do. If you did everything. If you've done everything, okay?

Can you state your name and address for the record? Thank you. And what are we here for? This extension of time. So how much time do you need? What have you done?

Second. All those in favor? Aye. Thank you so much.

Yeah. There's a paper at the podium. Yeah, okay, there you go. Don't leave yet. Why?

Yeah, no, grab, oh, you have more cases?

Hanging. Sorry. 120 days. Yeah, we already voted. I got paid by the word.
