Code Officer Guerra introduced the case and distributed supplemental
information to be included in the record. Code Officer Guerra then
testified, "I verified the complaint on December 10, 2019 and Notice of
Code Violation was sent to the owner of the property. December 26, 2019
the letter was received. December 26, 2019 1 received a call from the
property owner requesting an extension. They advised there was issues
with the insurance company and they should be sending the check
soon. On June 26, 2020 1 attempted to call the owner with no answer. I
left a message. On March 3, 2021 the Code Board Notice was posted at
the property and City Hall. First class and certified letter was also sent to
the owner on record. On March 5, 2021 the notice was received per the
certified receipt."
Photos of the property were shown from "Presentation."
Code Officer Guerra continued, "As of this hearing, I askthatyou find the
homeowner in violation of ordinances that I've given testimony to and
would extend up to August 31, 2021, or at the Board's discretion, to come
into compliance. If no compliance is met after that additional time I
would ask that a fine of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00) per day
be imposed."
Mr. John KPendarvis, 55HayesRoad, Winter Springs i ntrod uced himself
and Mrs Christine Pendarvis, 55 Hayes Road, Winter Springs testified,
"Not to contradict, I am a FedEx courier and I am not able to answer my
phone while driving, I did call her [Code Officer Guerra] back and I told
her again we were in a serious debate with our insurance company and
she said to let her know if there was any more information. Unfortunately
since that time there has not been more information. They've done
everything in their power to make it difficult for us to replace our roof
because COVID hit, then their lawyer quit, the hearing was pushed back
and there was additional time needed to re-inspect so they tried to get
the date pushed back. We have had multiple inspectors on our roof and
all of them but their personal inspector came back with a report that we
need a new roof. Our lawyer has been corresponding with them
regularly, we have stopped corresponding with them because it is
beyond our means."
Mr. Pendarvis said, "We did send additional documents to the inspector
and have a case filing with the County. We also have a civil remedy filed
with County." Provided documents for the record. "Were trying to do
everything we can to get the tarp off. We don't want a tarp on our roof."
