In a recent government meeting, officials addressed multiple cases of building code violations, emphasizing the importance of compliance with the Broward County amendments to the Florida Building Code. The discussions highlighted the necessity for property owners to secure permits for construction and renovation projects, with deadlines set for compliance to avoid escalating fines.

One notable case involved SPG Cooper City, where representatives acknowledged a violation related to required obstruction reports. The project manager confirmed that reports were in progress and expected to be submitted by the end of the week. The council granted a deadline of December 31 for compliance, warning of a potential $250 daily fine for any delays beyond that date.

Another case concerning the First Baptist Church revealed that while inspection reports were in the works, the church had not yet submitted the necessary documentation. The council imposed a $150 administrative fee and set a similar December 31 deadline for compliance, reiterating the importance of timely submissions to avoid further penalties.

The Rock Church of Hollywood also faced scrutiny for failing to complete required inspections. The pastor assured the council that the necessary inspections had been conducted and that reports were forthcoming. The council again set a December 31 deadline for submission, with a $250 daily fine for non-compliance.

In a separate case, Alfred Weiselman faced a violation for resurfacing his asphalt driveway without a permit. He admitted to the oversight and was given until December 31 to apply for the necessary permit, with a $50 daily fine for any delays thereafter.

The meeting underscored the council's commitment to enforcing building safety regulations and ensuring that property owners adhere to the established codes. With multiple cases pending, officials are closely monitoring compliance efforts and are prepared to impose fines for non-compliance as necessary.
