The meeting began with an update on case number e-22-0383 for 826 Northeast 121st Street, which had been postponed by the respondent’s attorneys before the Miami-Dade County Unsafe Structures Board. The board then moved the approval of the minutes to the end of the meeting to prioritize the cases being heard.

One of the most discussions revolved around case number c-23-d285 for 739 Northeast 118th Street regarding off-street parking violations. The property, owned by PBP6 LLC, had an outstanding $500 fine for a driveway not meeting design standards. The board debated penalizing the new owner for issues caused by the previous owner but ultimately affirmed the fine and moved forward with filing a lien.

Another notable case involved 11921-23 Northeast 12th Avenue, where owners M and Janee Pierre faced a $375 fine for a driveway violation. The board set a deadline of October 1 for the remaining $250 payment, with the case to be revisited if the payment was not received.

The board also reviewed a case concerning a property owner who had obtained a permit for a dumpster on Northeast 109th Street. Although the dumpster was only present for one day, the board decided to close the case since the permit was applied for and obtained.

A recurring theme in the meeting was the enforcement of safety regulations, particularly concerning swimming pools. A property on Northeast 117th Street faced multiple violations, including an unsecured swimming pool. The board imposed a $250 fine with a compliance deadline for securing the pool, and a requirement for the pool to be drained by October 1.

Another case involved 805 Northeast 115th Street, where a cracked driveway surface initially prompted an enforcement order. However, the property owner had applied for a permit, leading the board to close the case unanimously.

The board addressed 820 Northeast 118th Street, where owners Omar Romero and Beatrice Gonzales violated section 18.4 by beginning construction work at 7:30 AM, earlier than permitted. Gonzales explained that the builders arrived early to move materials due to impending rain, but the board imposed a $250 fine after a representative observed active construction work.

At 835 Northeast 120th Street, represented by Alejandro and Gamma Product Worldwide LLC, the board found violations of chapter 16.2 regarding development permits. A kitchen had been installed over the garage without approval. The board sought a $500 penalty and a daily fine of $50 if compliance was not achieved.

The building official emphasized the need for the homeowner to demonstrate compliance with the submitted plans. The homeowner expressed confusion about the installation of kitchen appliances, which were present during previous inspections. The official revoked the final inspections and approvals after noticing discrepancies.

A point of discussion included a property on Northeast 121st Street, where the owner sought to demolish an existing structure. The board expressed concern over the timeline for demolition and construction, imposing a daily fine of $250 if deadlines were not met.

The board also addressed 1141 Northeast 8th Court, where violations involved storm shutters and protective window covers. Resident Penny Seberg testified about long-standing issues, including deteriorated plywood covering windows and poor lawn maintenance. Despite the property owner’s request for a continuance, the board imposed fines due to the property’s neglect.

A property described as having trees growing out of its roof was discussed, with conflicting reports about its occupancy. The homeowner had not provided documentation or written requests for more time to address the issues. The board imposed a $250 fine and set an October 1 compliance date, with a daily fine thereafter.

The meeting concluded with the board addressing additional cases, including violations related to unregistered vehicles and permit applications. The board expressed the necessity of having a reliable alternate member, noting the importance of attendance for learning the processes involved.
