Code Enforcement Board - Regular Meeting

Continue to stand if you are here to be sworn in because you're testifying.

We're still having a little technical difficulties here, so if you can just bear with us, we'll get you guys out of the way. We don't have a long meeting ahead of us, so that's really good. All right, and what do we want to call first? Are we calling special appearances?

I think we can do that. Oh, yeah, please. I'm so sorry, I'm out of order.

Thank you. Thank you. And listen, ladies and gentlemen, we're trying to make this pretty quick for everyone. So when you hear your case called or your address called, come up, state your name, address, and then how much time do you need? For those of you that are here for extensions of time, just tell us how much time you need and what work you've already been doing. We'll verify it real quickly and we'll do our best to grant you the time that you're asking for. Okay. First case.

Can we do an extension of times real quick while we got this technical difficulties going on?

Yes. Good evening. You can put it down. Yeah.

Okay. Do you have anyone to assist you with removing those, those vehicles?

So maybe you might want to maybe potentially call a junkyard and have them come pick the vehicles up.

Okay. How much time do you think to try to get this, you know, because it may be a while, but you may be able to get assistance with this. Yes.

So we're going to give you 120 days and the director is going to work with you on this process.

But we'll work with you on the back end, okay?

No worries. Second. All those in favor? Aye. Thank you very much, ma'am. You have 120 days, okay? Say it again. You have 120 days. And the director's going to reach out to you, okay?

No need, okay? Get home safe, okay? Next case.

All those in favor. Aye. Thank you. Thank you. Next case.

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

Aye. Thank you all. Enjoy the rest of your evening. Thank you. Next case.

We just did that one. That was his previous case.

How many days, how much time are you asking for?

Okay. Property address and how much time does he need? So the address is 2607 Northwest 29th Street.

Okay, thank you. And how much time are you looking for?

Aye. Thank you very much. And take the paper if you need to make an extension, okay?

We're going to give them 120 days. Okay.

Thank you very much. It's a very nice blazer you got there.

Thank you. No problem. Take that paper. If you need an extension, yes. Got it. You're more than welcome. Have a good one, okay?

Thank you, sir. Thank you. Take the paper if you need an extension of time, okay? Thank you.

And I think council knows that. Understood. Very quickly. But we could definitely help you with the extension. But it is correct.

And unfortunately, our board doesn't have that power. So we can only grant you an extension of time. for the time that you may need, and you're more than welcome to come back again.

I understand. And there's someone that's with you?

Understood. Thank you. And we do have a recommendation from the city. And if I would say, it wasn't a recommendation.

It's extension of time. But what I will tell you is that, uh, the chairwoman, uh, commissioner King, she does listen to these meetings. So she probably heard you.

It's in that district. So even more, there you go. Boom.

How much time are you needing? 120 days. 120 days? Okay.

We'll check it for you real quick. I'm sure you're already doing it.

Okay, gotcha. So we're going to make a motion, as you've seen before. We'll give you the time. There's a paper up there where you can take with you to request an additional extension of time should you start coming up on 100 plus days. Get ahead of it, okay?

We're just wondering, do you have the homestead exemption on the property? You'll save a lot of money if you do. So you don't have it on the property. Okay. So that's what the recommendation was. You should look into that. Okay. I have it here. Okay. Okay. A second. And all those in favor? Aye. Aye. Yeah. We pay attention to the homestead exemption for residents that have that. Okay. It looks really good for you.

You're done? Thank you. Or at least start the process.

Aye. Thank you, sir. Take that paper up there if you need an extension of time. Thank you, sir.

Yeah. Can I get a motion for... Yeah, I move to reduce the fine to $15,000.

Have a good evening. You're more than welcome. Thank you.

You can state your name and address for the record.

Yes, mitigation. Hold on one second. I'm not getting it, so.

Did I hear? No. Hold on, sir. It has to be unanimous.

All right. Can we get another motion? That motion fails. Okay.

All those in favor? Aye. Motion for $2,500. Thank you. Thank you. Wait for your paper here, sir. Wait for your order.

Madam Attorney, you have a new Salesforce update that's going to take place.

Roughly, how much money would you say you spent on the entire project?

I move to reduce it to $15,000. All right. So right now it stands at $123,250. So it's a discount.

All those in favor? Aye. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. You're welcome. Wait for your paper, okay?

My dad, Rafael Riera. Dad lives in the property. Sorry? I was saying dad lives at the property. Who lives at the property? He's there now. Gotcha. Gotcha. Thank you. That's all. Okay.

Second. And by the way, you see, I was just listening. Yeah, I wanted to give you an opportunity to speak, but... Yeah, you took the time to prepare statements, and so I wasn't going to interrupt, but I had already knew what my motion was going to be, and I was going to recommend it to my board members to do the same. So, but... Yeah, move to reduce it to zero. Second. All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Thank you very much. Wait for your order over there. And I'm glad to see you're here, sir. Okay. So the little we can do, I'm glad we can do it, okay? Thank you.

OK. And can you ask her why she's here for mitigation?

Does she have the means? I like him. Sorry? Actually, does she have the means to pay the violation?

All those in favor? Aye. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Wait for your order.

Yeah, in our paper it says they have homestead. And then it's also $58,800. Hold on, let me check. But you may have something different, so I'm going to confirm. And you can state your name and address for the record. Okay.

All those in favor? Aye. Thank you very much. Congrats on the little one, you know. Thank you.

There was no motion? I was asking to have a motion.

Hi, good evening. Can you state your name and address for the record?

Yeah, it would be $16,000 and change. $16,800. Yeah, okay. So we can reduce it down to $15,000. That's the lowest we can go.

As additional original structure all done without permit.

Oh. Previous. Yes. Yeah. It's all right.

ask him if that unit exists and he put a fence and separated no the unit with the doors tell him if that's still there yeah so they demolish he says it's no longer there okay he doesn't have a demo permit to demolish anything so He has to get a demo permit before demolishing anything. Otherwise, he's still operating without a permit. That's what the problem is. So he has to get a demo permit before he can do anything.

Yeah, but we're not going to give it because...

Correct. Understood. Thank you. Okay? Please tell me we don't have anything else.

They were here. Teresa. Yeah. The one we gave the $350 to.
