CASE # 2014CE002245
Angelo Sanchez And Raquel Tavares
221 North 3rd Street
Winter Springs, Florida 32708
IPMC 108.1.1 Unsafe Structures.
Date Of Service: December 2, 2014
Inspector: Chris Deisler
Captain Deisler presented this Case and submitted into Evidence, "'WS-l', which will be
the CD (Compact Disc) of the presentations tonight; 'WS-2' is the Affidavit of Posting
for this Hearing; 'WS-3' is my Certified Mailing for this Hearing."
In addition, Captain Deisler noted that Mr. Jay Abel, Building Inspector and the
Respondent were in attendance.
Continuing with the presentation, Captain Deisler testified, "Originally this Case came to
my attention back in August of last year. This home has an existing carport structure — it
is in a rundown condition, which poses a hazard to the occupants or anyone who maybe
nearby. There are several areas where the wood is rotting. The doors and the walls of the
structure are inadequate to support it during times of storms and wind. That was based
upon conversations that I had with the renter who lives there.
Mr. Abel, our Building Inspector, was contacted by the owner about June 26, 2014. He
was asked to further inspect the structure, based upon his professional qualifications. He
replied to me that the structure was a danger and that it needed to be fixed or removed."
Photographs were shown from "WS -1 ", with further comments.
Mr. Jay Abel, Building Inspector, Building Division, Community Development
Department addressed the Code Enforcement Board and testified, "Captain Deisler asked
me to go there and take a look at the structure, which I did. It needs to be either repaired
or taken down. I instructed in my Notice that a Permit would be required to either
(repair) or (remove). I went back out there and met Mr. Sanchez. It was mid - September
and I asked him if he was going to repair or get Permits or demolish it. He said he wasn't
sure yet. At that time, I said I would turn it over to Code Enforcement if it doesn't get
rectified. Basically it does have wood rot all the way around it. It does need to either be
taken down or repaired."
Next, Captain Deisler explained that he had also met with Mr. Sanchez in September
2014, gave him additional time to obtain Permits and correct the Violation. Since that
time, Captain Deisler said he has had no other contact with the Respondent.
Further comments.

Lastly, Captain Deisler stated, "I am recommending that he be provided two (2) weeks to
secure proper Permits, conduct adequate repairs on the carport, and show considerable
progress toward repairs to remedy the structural issues. Should he fail to comply, I am
requesting that you authorize demolition of said structure at cost that will be put back on
the property in the form of a Lien."
Mr. Angelo Sanchez, 100 Lisa Loop, Winter Springs, Florida: provided a letter from the
company "Builders & Renovators ", which was entered into the Record as Exhibit "R -1 ".
Since there was only one (1) copy, Chairperson Fisher read the letter aloud to the other
Code Enforcement Board Members.
Board Member Matthew Criswell mentioned that the letter was from a Building
Contractor, not a General Contractor and asked Captain Deisler, "You had said earlier
that you wanted to have a letter from a Structural Engineer or Professional Engineer ?"
Captain Deisler responded, "Correct, Sir. You are going right down the road that I would
like Mr. Abel to speak to."
Mr. Abel added, "A General Contractor will not certify it because they are not a licensed
Engineer. As you will probably see by the letter, I didn't see a stamp or raised seal on that
letter. That is what a licensed, Structural Engineer would need to provide." Chairperson
Fisher also pointed out there was no signature on the letter provided by "Builders &
Renovators ". Likewise, Mr. Abel noted that the letter would not be acceptable without a
signature.
Next, Captain Deisler submitted into Evidence "` WS -4', which were the Notices that
were issued by the Building Division with regard to this. It clearly states in the Notices
that were issued to Mr. Sanchez, that a licensed Structural Engineer provide said letter."
Discussion.
Board Member Carole Giltz noted that the City gave Mr. Sanchez the option of repairing
the structure or demolishing the structure and asked if he is considering either option. Mr.
Sanchez replied, "Not at this moment. I thought it was safe." In turn, Board Member
Criswell inquired, "You do carry liability insurance on that property ?" Mr. Sanchez
replied, "Yes, Sir."
Much discussion ensued on possible Motions, Staff's recommendation, time frames for
pulling Permits, and that a Notice of Intent to Remedy was indeed sent to Mr. Sanchez in
December 2014.
Next, Captain Deisler submitted into Evidence "WS -5 ", which was the Notice of Intent to
Remedy. The Notice was previously provided to the Code Enforcement Board in the
Agenda Item.

"I WOULD MOVE TO FIND THE RESPONDENT IN VIOLATION OF THE
CITY CODE AND RESPONDENT BE GIVEN UNTIL FEBRUARY 10TH, (2015)
TO CORRECT THE VIOLATION. IN THE EVENT THE RESPONDENT FAILS
TO COMPLY BY THIS DATE, THEN WE WOULD RENDER SECTION 13 -4.
PROCEDURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY COST OR EXPENSES, AS A
FINE." MOTION BY BOARD MEMBER CRISWELL.
SENIOR ATTORNEY KIM KOPP INQUIRED, "IS THERE A FINE OR NO FINE
WITH RESPECT TO JUST THE VIOLATION?" BOARD MEMBER
CRISWELL REPLIED, "NO FINE. IT WOULD BE A LIEN."
CHAIRPERSON FISHER REITERATED, "AT THIS POINT THERE WOULD
BE NO FINE. HOWEVER, IT WOULD BE IN ADDITION TO THE FINDING OF
VIOLATION. SECTION 13 -4. WILL APPLY AND THE COST OR EXPENSE OF
ANY CONSEQUENCES OF THAT ACTION WILL BE APPLIED AS A LIEN ON
THE PROPERTY."
IN TURN, SENIOR ATTORNEY KOPP CLARIFIED, "YOU WANT TO FIND
THE PROPERTY IN VIOLATION OF IPMC 108.1.1 WITH NO FINES AND IF

Continuing, Captain Deisler said, "The Applicants, seated here, had a pending contract to
buy the home or it is still pending and intend to make it their residential homestead,
which is probably the top tier of where we want to go with these properties. Get people in
them who want to homestead.
The Violations were brought into Compliance by the bank some time ago and the house
has been maintained accordingly since. Since this home will be the homestead of the
Applicant, and the contract is now apparently concluded, our recommendation is going to
be a reduction in total amount owed to the City of nine hundred and fifty dollars
($950.00)."
Mrs. Kelly Mullins, 220 Heatherbrooke Circle, Oviedo, Florida: stated, "We just closed
on the home yesterday. We purchased this home from Fannie Mae. Immediately we got
an inspection on the home to find out if there was anything wrong with it. We purchased
an appraisal on the home, we had a mold inspection done on the home, got to the point of
closing and two (2) weeks ago were notified by the Title Company there was a Lien on
the property of a hundred and fifty -three thousand dollars ($153,000.00). We already had
spent a thousand dollars ($1,000.00) on this home. We have been looking for a home for
over four (4) months." Mrs. Mullins also mentioned in the past they had owned homes in
Geneva, Oviedo and would like to stay in the area.
"I MOVE TO RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY REDUCE THEIR LIEN FOR
THIS PROPERTY TO NINE HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS ($950.00), WHICH
WILL COVER SOME OF THE EXPENSES THE CITY HAS SPENT ON THIS
PROPERTY." MOTION BY BOARD MEMBER GILTZ. SECONDED BY

Jean And Chea Belfort
921 Puma Trail
Winter Springs, Florida 32708
Sec. 6 -195. Maintenance Of Fences Or Walls.
Date Of Service: December 1, 2014
Inspector: Chris Deisler
In presenting this Case, Captain Deisler submitted into Evidence, "'WS-2', the Affidavit
of Posting for the Hearing and 'WS-3' the Certified Mail Receipt."
Next, Captain Deisler testified, "This complaint was generated by the next door neighbor
— he invited me to his home to let me look at the condition of the fence of the neighboring
home. At this point what he was dealing with was a couple sections of fence that had
fallen. There were also exposed, rusty nails.
I met with him on November 7th, (2014) and verified the Complaint. The home is a rental
property. The owners of Record do reside in Virginia. The Notice of Code Violation was
mailed to them on November 7th, 2014. It was never picked up by the addressee. There
was no contact from the owners or work done to the fence."
Photographs were shown from "WS 4" with further comments.
Lastly, Captain Deisler stated, "As of the 27th of January of this year, I had information
that the owner had received a quote for a new fence to be installed on February 27th, I
have actually been in contact with the Property Manager for this home. She actually has
been very responsive, even as recently as today. Hopefully this fence will be installed
prior to the Non - Compliance Hearing scheduled for next month."
Staff recommendation was to allow the owner until February 27th, 2015 to correct the
Violation. If not corrected, a Fine of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00) would be
imposed per day until the Violation comes into Compliance.
Note: The Respondent was not present.

Sec. 2 -61.5. Application For Satisfaction Or Release Of Code Enforcement Liens.
Original Hearing: October 4, 2011
Inspector: Christi Flannigan
Captain Deisler presented the Case and stated, "This is a Lien Reduction request by the
current owners of this home, Mr. and Mrs. Carrero. The Carreros are residents of Puerto
Rico and I do not believe that they are going to have any representation here. This home
had several issues dating back to 2011."
Next, Captain Deisler then covered an assortment of Violations that had come before the
Code Enforcement Board over the previous years.

Continuing with his testimony, Captain Deisler said, "The Carreros took possession of
this property on or about the 26th of October 2012, `As -Is.' Where the problem lies is
they're claiming that they were not told in the Title work that there was a Lien that
amassed over three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) on this home, which is
probably at my best estimate valued maybe at sixty [thousand dollars] ($60,000.00).
So, they bought it, rehabbed it, got it all fixed, and have since made it a rental home. It
hasn't caused us a problem since. However, now they want to sell it and are finding that
their `As -Is' condition includes this Lien."
Further comments.
Concluding his presentation, Captain Deisler said, "We are going to request the
recommendation of a standard ten percent (10 %) reduction, which will bring a total owed
to the City of thirty -two thousand seven hundred and fifteen dollars ($32,715.00)."
Much discussion ensued on unknown total costs incurred by the City, how the property
may have been purchased by the owners without knowledge of the outstanding Lien,
treating these Lien Reduction Request Cases individually, and what a fair price would be
if a reduction was granted.
Note: The Applicant was not present.
