In a recent Seminole County Code Enforcement Board meeting, officials addressed multiple property violations, emphasizing the need for compliance by property owners. The board reviewed several cases, including significant issues related to structural safety, vegetation overgrowth, stagnant water, and unsecured swimming pools.

One of the primary cases involved the Property Scholars Investment Group, LLC, which owns a property at 138 Anchor Road. Following inspections on January 18, February 1, July 12, and July 24, 2024, code enforcement officer reports indicated ongoing violations, including the presence of rubble and open windows, suggesting a deteriorating structure. The board recommended that the property owners correct these violations by August 8, 2024, or face fines of $100 per day for non-compliance.

Another case focused on Edward Sarapin and Franklin Lowe, who own a property at 207 Grace Boulevard. Inspections revealed issues with uncultivated vegetation and stagnant water in a pool, both of which remained unaddressed despite multiple notices. The board proposed similar compliance deadlines and fines, with $50 per day for vegetation and $250 per day for the stagnant water violation.

Additionally, the board discussed a case involving Joshua Walls and Saeng Cheng at 1904 Heathwood Drive, where an unsecured swimming pool posed safety concerns. The property owners were instructed to secure the pool by August 8, 2024, or incur daily fines of $250.

Throughout the meeting, board members expressed concerns about the potential hazards posed by these violations, particularly regarding the structural integrity of the properties and the safety of the community. The board unanimously approved the staff recommendations for all cases, reinforcing the importance of property maintenance and compliance with local codes.
