The case was presented by Brian Palmer, the Deputy Director and Code Enforcement Manager. He detailed the history of the violations, which included multiple inspections and communications with the property management company. The parking area was cited for being in disrepair since a patrol in January 2023 revealed a damaged parking lot. Despite initial contact with the management company and several follow-ups, only half of the parking area was patched.

The owner had been notified multiple times through certified mail and postings at the property and City Hall. Inspections conducted in June and August 2024 confirmed that the necessary repairs had not been completed. The Special Magistrate emphasized that the property must be brought into compliance to eliminate any hazards, such as the risk of tripping on uneven asphalt.

The Special Magistrate’s ruling included a detailed description of the steps the property owner must take to comply with city codes, including obtaining necessary permits and fully repairing the parking area. Failure to meet the September 24 deadline will result in a hearing for the imposition of fines, which may become a lien against the property and any other real or personal property owned by the respondent.
