02:15A notable case involved Dennis and Tatiana Petro, new condominium owners on South Ocean Boulevard. They were cited for initiating construction without a permit. Dennis Petro explained the situation, highlighting that delays were due to misunderstandings about electronic submission requirements and technical issues with the town’s system. The commission acknowledged these challenges and did not impose a fine, but emphasized that future violations could result in harsher penalties. A prosecution cost of $250 was assessed, payable within 14 days.

08:13In another case, Michelle Oris faced similar scrutiny for interior remodeling without the necessary permits on South Ocean Boulevard. Her representative, Armano Rodriguez, confirmed that the required plumbing sub-permit was pending. The commission granted a 30-day compliance window, warning of a potential $250 daily fine if the deadline is not met, along with a $250 prosecution cost, also due by the compliance date.

15:41The commission also addressed the Town Houses of Highland Beach’s failure to submit a concrete restoration permit, a requirement under the Florida Building Code. The board’s president, Mark Breer, assured the commission that efforts were underway to comply, with engineering evaluations completed and bids accepted.
