Ocoee Code Enforcement Board Cracks Down on Property Violations

In a recent Ocoee Code Enforcement Board meeting, the most pressing matter discussed was the property owned by an individual and rented out to a group of single men, which drew attention due to multiple violations and neighborhood complaints. The property, cited for various issues including junk and debris, lack to working plumbing, and potential illegal activities, faced a recommended fine of $100 per violation per day, with seven violations noted. The board settled on a 10-day compliance deadline, set for June 7th, 2024, and the possibility of city foreclosure and demolition if the owner fails to address the violations. This case stood out as a primary concern for both the board and local residents, with one neighbor testifying to feeling unsafe and experiencing issues with garbage on their property.

The meeting further addressed several other properties with violations such as tall weeds, junk vehicles, and unlicensed parked vehicles. The board recommended fines ranging from $25 to $100 per day until compliance was achieved. There was a debate regarding the steepness of the fines and whether they should be imposed per day per violation or for the entire set of violations collectively. In the case of the property with extensive issues including junk and debris, broken windows, and plumbing problems, there was particular discussion about the fine amount and the financial impact on the property owner.

The board members, through careful review and consideration of each case, aimed to balance the enforcement of city codes with the implications for property owners. They examined the evidence presented by the code enforcement officers, and there was clarification sought on the dates of observation and the deadlines for compliance. In the instance of the property with multiple tenants, the discussions centered around the need to ensure timely compliance given the severity of the violations and the concerns raised by the neighborhood.

During the meeting, there was also acknowledgment of the professional growth of the board and the efforts of city officials in upholding code standards. The chair of the board reminded members to be attentive to reappointment emails.
