Tarpon Springs Code Board Resolves Long-Standing 2018 Property Case

During a recent meeting of the Tarpon Springs Code Enforcement Board, members addressed and resolved a case dating back to 2018 involving a derelict structure on Chesapeake Drive. The property, which had been in violation due to a dilapidated house, has now been brought into compliance, leading to the acceptance of an affidavit of compliance.

The case, identified as number 18-80000869 and linked to the Steven L Smith Trust, involved a property that required demolition and clean-up efforts to reach compliance standards. The board was informed that the site has been successfully cleared, leaving it as an empty lot. Despite the resolution of the violations, the trust did not pay the accrued fine of $194,852. The board accepted the affidavit, allowing the trust to proceed with any further actions, such as fine reduction, by approaching the Board of Commissioners.
