One of the most notable discussions involved Affordable Properties Realty and Management Inc., cited for violations at a property located on G Winds Drive. The enforcement officer detailed 22 violations of section 12.2 of the land development code, which regulates short-term rentals. The officer recommended a fine of $1,000 per violation, totaling $19,000, plus administrative costs. No representatives appeared at the hearing, leading the magistrate to affirm the property’s non-compliance and impose the proposed fines. The absence of representation and the substantial fines highlighted the challenges property owners face regarding adherence to rental regulations.

The meeting also addressed a case against Padpro LLC for a property on East Vina Delmare Boulevard. Violations were noted under section 8.2A of the code, requiring rentals to be for a minimum of 30 days. The city identified seven violations, recommending fines totaling $7,000. However, the magistrate reduced the fine to $2,000 after considering the circumstances surrounding the documented violations.

Another notable case involved Martin Mara, who faced violations for short-term rentals on Gloss Drive. With nine violations identified, the city recommended fines of $1,000 per violation. Mara explained financial hardships and claimed ignorance of the restrictions, stating he ceased short-term rentals upon notification. The magistrate, recognizing the financial strain and low rental income, imposed a reduced fine of $25 per violation, totaling $225, plus administrative costs.

In a similar vein, Beyond the Baseline Coaching LLC was cited for violations on Ponta Vista Drive. Despite a misunderstanding about rental rules, the magistrate imposed fines of $1,000 per violation for two identified short-term rentals. The property owners quickly removed their Airbnb listing upon receiving the violation notice.

In addition to short-term rental cases, the meeting addressed other compliance issues. For instance, a case involving James L. Wall III on Bay Street focused on unsightly conditions and overgrown vegetation.

A repeat violation case involving Team B Equities LLC at 463 85th Avenue resulted in a $5,000 total fine for five violations. Despite the property owner not receiving initial notice, the magistrate confirmed proper notification procedures were followed.

The meeting concluded with a lean reduction case involving Brightwater Beach Condo Association. Originally facing fines totaling $23,080, the association’s representatives cited health issues and unforeseen circumstances for their absence at a prior hearing. The magistrate acknowledged their compliance as of December 16, 2025, and reduced the fines by 20%, resulting in a new total of $4,550, provided payment is made within 30 days.
