The meeting opened with a review of the Byron Avenue case, where a property previously cited for non-compliance had been cleared of all trash and debris, with grass and weeds addressed by a management company. The magistrate confirmed no continuing violations and ruled that the administrative costs of $26.72 be imposed, with a lien placed on the property should the costs remain unpaid.

Attention then turned to the initial hearing for a property on Cole Ridge Avenue, owned by David Freeman, which was cited for overgrowth and accumulation of trash and debris. Despite notices and communication with a maintenance company, no corrective actions had been taken. The magistrate ordered that the violations be remedied by May 8, 2026, with the owner required to notify code enforcement upon completion. Failure to comply will result in a $50 daily fine per violation. The property was also noted in the city’s foreclosed property registration program, highlighting the ongoing monitoring and enforcement efforts by the city.
