The session began with a detailed examination of case C25-0000425, involving Bruce E. Willton’s property on Geneva Drive. The city alleged a violation of municipal ordinance section 2219, which prohibits open storage. Code enforcement officer Ms. Selenia Asavdo presented a comprehensive 19-page documentation package, detailing the case’s history. The violation was first observed on June 25, 2025, with a pile of tree debris noted on the property. Asavdo outlined her communications with the property owner, including a courtesy letter and subsequent inspections confirming the ongoing issue. The property owner’s daughter had contacted Asavdo, citing challenges in removing the debris due to two handicapped individuals residing at the property. Despite arrangements reportedly made with WastePro for debris pickup, Asavdo confirmed the debris remained during her reinspection. The magistrate found the property in violation and set a compliance deadline of September 15, 2025, with a daily fine of $25 for non-compliance.

Attention then turned to case C25-0000426, involving Louise Graham’s property on East Harrison Street. This case involved alleged violations of land development code 4.15 concerning prohibited uses and special exclusions related to parking violations. The property had been observed in violation since June 25, 2025, due to the presence of several vehicles, including a black trailer and a trencher. A representative for Graham, Mr. Boston, stated that the trailer had been removed and discussed ongoing yard cleaning efforts. He expressed his intention to comply with code requirements, supporting his claims with a photograph from the evidence packet. The magistrate acknowledged the arguments and confirmed the issuance of all requisite notices.

A discussion followed regarding a compliance issue on Britain’s Court, involving a white vehicle without a license plate. Compliance Officer Missy Asado presented a 23-page evidence package, including property cards, notices of violation, and inspection records, noting the vehicle’s presence since May 20, 2025. Despite courtesy letters and follow-up inspections, the vehicle remained on the property. Mr. Danio provided context, explaining that the vehicle belonged to a deceased significant other, complicating its removal due to the absence of a title. Danio described efforts to communicate with the lien-holding collection agency and attempts to arrange for its removal, hindered by the lack of a title. The vehicle was inoperable, with a dead battery and flat tires. The magistrate responded positively to Danio’s compliance, recognizing the vehicle’s relocation to the garage as resolving the issue. The case was dismissed, with the magistrate acknowledging the unique challenges Danio faced and expressing interest in any potential solutions regarding the title issue.

Subsequently, the meeting addressed the presence of a dumpster at a resident’s property, which was initially deemed a violation. The resident explained its usage for cleaning the yard and requested time for removal. The magistrate granted a 15-day extension, setting a compliance deadline of September 15, 2025, at 5:00 p.m., with daily fines of $25 for non-compliance.
