Overview: The recent DeFuniak Springs Special Magistrate meeting focused on several property code violations, with the most notable case involving a property on South 17th Street, which faced multiple violations including grime, mold, chipping paint, decaying wood, and falling boards. The property owner, Carrie Michelle Doery, stated the intention to demolish the property and noted improvements already made for safety. The code enforcement officer recommended a one-year timeline for the demolition, but the magistrate called for a six-month review and advised seeking assistance from the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) for potential cost-sharing for the demolition. The possibility of erecting a fence to obscure the property from view was also suggested. This case was adjourned for a further review in six months.
