05:47A crucial example was the case involving Cube Strip LLC on South Washington Avenue. The property had previously been found in violation of the International Property Maintenance Code, specifically subsection 505.3 concerning water supply. Despite notices sent via certified mail and a prior hearing on March 10, 2025, no corrective actions had been taken. The absence of the respondent at the hearing led to the board reaffirming a fine of $100 per day, which had been set to begin on May 10, 2025. This fine would continue until compliance was achieved, with the order recorded as a lien on the property.

10:20Similarly, the case of 25-30 Vermont LLC on South Eleon Avenue mirrored these issues of absentee ownership and non-compliance. Multiple violations remained unaddressed following a March 2025 hearing, with no contact from the respondent. The board confirmed the imposition of fines of $100 per day per violation, effective from June 7, 2025, adding to the financial penalties already accruing.

16:39Another notable case was that of JL Miami Homes LLC on Alfred Street. Despite clear notifications and previous orders, the property remained in violation of maintenance codes. The board reiterated the imposition of daily fines, with each violation accruing a separate charge. Administrative costs were also noted, emphasizing the financial burden of non-compliance.

19:51The hearing also addressed a case involving Robert Kirk and Crystal Kirk Cook on Cleveland Street. Unlike the aforementioned absentee cases, Robert Kirk had been present at the initial hearing and showed some progress by removing a bed from the living room and relocating a person from the porch to an interior room. However, the property still had trash and debris, leading the board to impose daily fines for these ongoing violations.

25:46In the business sector, Cole’s Appliances was reviewed for not possessing a necessary tax receipt. Despite a previous fine of $200, the business had not rectified the situation, prompting the board to set ongoing fines at $200 per day until compliance was achieved.

29:27Lastly, the board reviewed the case of Elizabeth Olsen on Pine Ridge Drive, where a violation concerning junk and debris had been resolved following a neighbor’s complaint. The board recognized the compliance achieved before the hearing date but classified it as a repeat violation, which would be noted in public records.
