On September 14th I went and observed the violation found a lot of junk and debris, excessive grass and weeds, and the address had no building numbers, couldn’t identify the house.

Upon re-inspection the door hanger with still hanging on the door. We also drafted a notice of Code Violation, was mailed to the address on file with the Property Appraisers website with the correction date of October 15th. Captain Tracht continues, “Several times, not just on the [September] 30th I have spoken with the owner Mr. Gary and he has been very cooperative, very forth coming, he wants compliance. The guy, Roosevelt [Davis], that he has renting is an elderly male that is trying to fix all of these things himself on his own time and doesn’t understand the concept of compliance dates. So, Mr. Gray went over there and did a lot of those things, he probably just needs a couple more days and he will be in full compliance. [We] did mail out Code Board Notices when those compliance dates weren’t met. So he is aware that it is coming to Code Board tonight.” Photos shown from "Related Case Information." Captain Tracht gave his recommendation as, “As of this hearing I find that you find the home owner in violation of Winter Springs City Ordinance 13-2(b), to be only that I have given testimony to.

However, if not, then a fine of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00) per day be imposed.” Discussion.
