CASE #2018CE000072
Irma Rodriguez
110 North Devon Avenue
Winter Springs, Florida 32708
City Code: 13-2.(b) Junk And Debris
Inspector: Captain Chris Deisler
Captain Deisler introduced the Case and testified, "Somewhere after the first of the year,
on January 11th of 2018, I noticed that this yard had some junk and debris scattered
throughout; old wood/tree debris in the front yard and other unsightly materials. A Notice
of Code Violation was prepared and mailed but we got it back unclaimed. Accordingly, we
posted the NCV (Notice of Code Violation) at the residence on February 12, 2018;
however, these conditions have remained the same even to today. I believe this house is
now vacant and nothing is really being done to it.
The Notice of Code Board hearing was prepared and it was also returned unclaimed. We
posted the Notice at the house and here at City Hall March 21" of this year. And even to
today, I have not had contact with anyone."
Photographs were shown from "WS -1" followed by comments.
Concluding, Captain Deisler stated, "I recommend the property come into Compliance by
the 26th of June or a Fine of a hundred dollars ($100.00) a day be assessed if found in Non -
Compliance."
Brief comments.
Note: The Respondent was not present.

After introducing the Case, Captain Deisler testified, "On March 5th of this year, I
investigated an online complaint about this property from a neighbor; the complaint
stemmed around excessive amounts of household garbage being essentially stored in the
backyard. I found a toter in the backyard full of trash; it was clearly being invaded by
raccoons and the like.
Loose trash and debris was everywhere, there was a tire in the backyard, a shopping cart,
other items of junk strewn throughout the property. Some stacks of paper blocks on the —
east side of the house, some old sand bags in the driveway, the numbers were also not
posted to Code standards. There was a broken window on the west side of the house that
was basically patched with a cardboard box; this is also a rental property so we had to
Notice the owner and the registered agent — was received by both — entities on March 16th "
Captain Deisler continued, "By the required correction date on the Notice of Code
Violation of April 10th, there were some articles of trash picked up, but the Violations
persisted as a whole. Henceforth, we've mailed the Code Board hearing Notice on April
3rd of this year."
Further, Captain Deisler commented on the Violations and noted, "None of the Violations
were corrected by the time on the Notice of Code Violation."

City Code: 13-2.(b) Trash And Debris
IPMC: 304.2 Exterior Treatments.
Inspector: Captain Chris Deisler
Before his testimony, Captain Deisler introduced the Case. Then Captain Deisler
continued, "On March 12th of this year, we observed the property had a lot of loose trash,
cigarette butts, and other debris present. The rear, side, and front of the building are in need
of a cleaning and a painting since the exterior treatments are either faded, peeling, or
inadequate to protect the structure.
At that time, I spoke on the phone to a representative of the management company who
said they would forward my information to the listing agent for follow up, and nothing was
done at that time.
A Notice of Code Violation was prepared and mailed to the owner and registered agent.
Both received on March 16th of this year; at this time nothing has been completed. The
Code Board Notice was then prepared and it was delivered to an individual last name
`Nguyen' to both entities on May 5, 2018, and nothing has been done to date."
