Temple Terrace Board Tackles Repeat Violation and Construction Delays

In a recent meeting, the Temple Terrace Code Enforcement Board grappled with several property violations, focusing primarily on a contentious case on East 122nd Avenue. The property, under scrutiny for a repeat violation, became the center of debate as the board considered imposing a daily fine to enforce compliance. The board sought to balance the severity of the fine against the property owner’s financial hardship and the effectiveness of such penalties in ensuring compliance.

The case on East 122nd Avenue featured prominently in the meeting as board members debated whether the situation warranted classification as a repeat violation. The discussion centered on the appropriate level of a daily fine for the lack of visible progress on the property. Ultimately, the board revised the motion to set a firm deadline for compliance and decided on a daily fine of $25. The decision to impose a daily fine was not made lightly, with one board member suggesting a higher fine of $100 per day to underscore the repeat nature of the violation. However, concerns about the property owner’s financial situation led to a more moderate approach. The board also requested evidence of progress from the property owner’s contractor.

In addition to the violation on East 122nd Avenue, the board addressed other cases involving delays and compliance issues. Graham Keith, representing property owners in two separate cases, requested 30-day extensions for roof repairs, attributing the delays to insurance complications. The board approved these extensions but conveyed concerns regarding the prolonged nature of the cases. For one property on Rolling Hill Court and another on J Road, the board stressed the need for timely resolution and adherence to city codes.

One significant exchange occurred during a discussion about a property with a partially constructed structure, damaged by a house fire in 2019. The property owner outlined their financial difficulties and steps taken towards reconstruction, including pouring concrete for the foundation and awaiting further construction phases. The board members inquired about the contractor’s license, permit statuses, and the existence of trusses reportedly stored in a warehouse. The property owner acknowledged the complex renovation challenges, including issues with the permit process and electrical inspections, and the use of generators for electricity. The board requested evidence and clarifications, and the property owner agreed to provide the necessary documentation, despite expressing frustration with the process.

Further topics of the meeting included a case presented by the City against Chelsea Jenkins, who faced property maintenance violations. Jenkins addressed the board, citing challenges in securing a contractor to remedy the issues. The board found Jenkins in violation and set a compliance deadline of June 12th, 2024, with a $50 per day fine for non-compliance. Similarly, a case against Alazami M. Alazami for unpermitted AC work was discussed, noting that the owner intended to resolve the violation within 30 days.

Additionally, the board reviewed a property on Willowwick Avenue with a permit-related violation and discussed imposing a fine if not corrected by a specified date. Another property on Holland Avenue was found to be in compliance regarding sanitation and overgrowth issues, thus avoiding a fine. A property on North River Hills Drive with a damaged shed roof was also discussed, but the transcript did not include a ruling.

The meeting concluded with a discussion about financial disclosure forms and the transition to electronic submissions. The board emphasized the importance of prompt and accurate responses to meeting notifications and the legitimacy of the forms to protect personal information.
