Overview: The recent Cocoa City Council meeting was marked by discussions surrounding property code violations, with attention dedicated to the enforcement lien on the property on Riverside Drive. The property owner, who resides in Maine, was represented by an attorney who claimed that the owner did not receive violation notices or hearing schedules due to incorrect addresses being used. The notices were only received in December, after which the property owner took prompt action to remedy the violations. The property owner’s attorney requested leniency, stating that while the owner was willing to pay the full cost of the violations, the $50,000 penalty was viewed as excessive.
