If the town finds remaining violations after inspection, the magistrate directed assessment of the prior daily fine of $250.

Code Inspector John Suarez presented the town’s case file, which described citations dating to June 21, 2024 for prohibited uses and outdoor storage. Suarez and public works staff inspected the property Jan. 14, 2025 and reported outdoor storage of trailers, containers and hay associated with a hay-transfer business. Suarez told the magistrate the town had been in contact with the owner and the owner’s attorney and that the town was prepared to allow a short additional time for reinspection.

Reginald Stambaugh, attorney for the respondent (Rescue Farms LLC) and client Shamir Qureshi said the property had been substantially improved and provided photographs taken an hour before the hearing. The magistrate admitted the town’s case file and directed the town to accept and file the respondent’s six photographs; the magistrate gave the town seven days to reinspect and set a compliance date of Feb. 10, 2025. If the property remains noncompliant after that date, the previous fine of $250 per day will be maintained and appearance at a March 3 fine-assessment hearing will be required. The magistrate reserved administrative costs from the hearing.

The town said that earlier the site also involved fill and sifting operations that had been removed but that outdoor storage and business-related hay transfer remained a concern. The town asked for $100 per violation if noncompliance continued after seven days; the magistrate maintained the town’s previously established $250 daily fine and reserved costs given the parties’ cooperation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2/3/2025 Special Magistrate Hearing Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The magistrate granted SQ Farms LLC a seven-day extension to allow the town to reinspect property at 1300 D Road after the respondent submitted photos showing substantial cleanup; prior fines of $250 per day remain if violations persist.","taxTitle","Town of Loxahatchee Groves, Palm Beach County, Florida","taxId",75779,"location","Florida","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6352812,"Magistrate grants continuance for 3384 C Road property; prior finding maintained, compliance deadline set",297,3393000,3690000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2222573-1c1823dbe5d91d72f3828a000d7130a4&start=3393&end=3690","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2222573-1c1823dbe5d91d72f3828a000d7130a4/thumbnail_3393000.jpg","/articles/6352812/Florida/Magistrate-grants-continuance-for-3384-C-Road-property-prior-finding-maintained-compliance-deadline-set","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6352812-ed776672f2c7e03156e504c520a6bf5b/orig.mp4?Expires=1777147878&Signature=F3Xnc5fvVHxjxX7ijpSgP0edcJoctFXLztRJDY7OQwLGgu0u5aE8ntpR4GLTbnwWOiYaZNNwmUY-e5AzR1266ogEZZmDJbu8m49Y0WuDop8WBiRk76me4pVF7XXR0AMFlkscXH9nbMDrte0nbg27M-PVmny4Ogg1-kmMzUY4lx14hM6grLVvAYaYlQuBSl51IyobaTY6UJfQb81daiY7Zwi4NRjmSt5xgYwKE5hmhPjwQPcgUmNZpSVAPmEICcM6V6qpPKt47eS5nkaDjqkINb-W-i8jN~Ayr7RItGc0RMKlJYs7~xz73RoL7PvbNfHZXyO2MtakGho5nVsaLrWs8g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Special Magistrate granted a mutually agreed continuance for property at 3384 C Road, owned by Roberto Perez and Maria Fonta, setting a new compliance date of April 1, 2025 and preserving the previously established fine of $250 per day for any continued violations.

John Suarez, the town code inspector, summarized the case file and stated the property was initially cited June 12, 2023 for work without permit and related permitting violations. The magistrate recited the hearing history: an initial finding of violation and previous compliance deadlines and continuances, most recently to Jan. 10, 2025. Suarez said the owner resubmitted corrective plans on Jan. 22, 2025 and that the town needs time to review and approve permits; the town did not object to another continuance.

The magistrate admitted the town’s evidentiary case file and, noting the respondent was not present at the hearing, found service sufficient. The magistrate maintained the previously established daily fine of $250 in the event of noncompliance and reserved administrative costs for the hearing. The magistrate set appearance at the April 7 fine-assessment hearing if the property remains noncompliant.","The magistrate granted a continuance for the property at 3384 C Road (case 23060006), setting a new compliance date of April 1, 2025 and preserving previous fines of $250 per day if the violations continue.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6352817,"Magistrate finds Marcela Boulevard property in violation for unpermitted RVs, gives owner 70 days to comply",1131,2085000,3216000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2222573-1c1823dbe5d91d72f3828a000d7130a4&start=2085&end=3216","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2222573-1c1823dbe5d91d72f3828a000d7130a4/thumbnail_2085000.jpg","/articles/6352817/Florida/Magistrate-finds-Marcela-Boulevard-property-in-violation-for-unpermitted-RVs-gives-owner-70-days-to-comply","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6352817-46d0fe01365cef76c06050a5d67a24ac/orig.mp4?Expires=1777147878&Signature=S5yyUq5HbJdcVSlGKwYhC1aA910Aqi~EYCsNyrQ9JP9MNDYz4cBX77Mw6Prw4j0U-9COkTIBFaO8TxamFP883OPLuoJCCPH3OkJ16UV724fnrcscBmpFrlKMm3fttAZRwzJU7hup5kKaVQrLaGxCYeVAqFbKaaBWw2TBAg5vSx-~qZc53KdHRCOyrAQ6QkkvwS-z~Gmu47r3kNSn1l8iuspJYGE-o1oybvSIV9HKZSxNlGaaLfJS4vr4SLkNPTCgVgVNo6E0f6KErY6V1DVRzIaHI-Wd8Udx7xwnvj1cBLGLkCoJTu1Wo6Y2RAb-JlriMjflvgEyHZL8DUbGVFMa3Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Special Magistrate found that the property at 13327 Marcela Boulevard, owned by Matthew Otero, was in violation of the town code for having recreational vehicles on the parcel without the required affidavit or permit and ordered Otero to come into compliance by April 14, 2025 or face a $100-per-day fine and administrative costs of $234.05.

John Suarez, a code inspector for the Town of Loxahatchee Groves, testified that the property was initially cited Nov. 24, 2024, and reinspection on Jan. 28, 2025 showed RVs remaining on the property. Suarez testified the town had posted and mailed notices and had an affidavit of service in the file. The town asked for 45 days for compliance; Suarez explained the registration or permit process opens the property for inspection once the owner applies.

Matthew Otero, the property owner, told the magistrate he had two RVs on the property during recent construction and was working with the permitting department to register or obtain permits; he said he had applied for homestead and bona fide agricultural status and would register the RVs per the town’s rules. Otero asked the magistrate to waive administrative costs; the magistrate denied the waiver, citing town costs to process hearings, but encouraged prompt compliance to stop additional fees.

The Special Magistrate admitted the town’s evidentiary file and the respondent’s exhibits without objection, found service was legally sufficient, and determined Otero was in violation of section 92-010(a). The magistrate set a compliance date of April 14, 2025 (70 days) and scheduled a fine-assessment hearing, if necessary, for the town’s May hearing; the magistrate set a daily fine of $100 for each day of noncompliance and assessed administrative costs of $234.05 due within 30 days.

The magistrate urged Otero to keep a log of communications with the county and town if any delays occur; the town said the number of allowable RVs is contingent on acreage and any agricultural classification. The town and respondent were instructed to exchange documentation of permits or registrations if compliance is achieved before the fine-assessment hearing.","The Special Magistrate found Matthew Otero in violation for having RVs on his property without the required site-permit affidavit and ordered compliance by April 14, 2025 or $100 per day fines plus administrative costs.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6352821,"Special magistrate authorizes foreclosure or money-judgment suit for Loxahatchee Groves property",1885,164000,2049000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2222573-1c1823dbe5d91d72f3828a000d7130a4&start=164&end=2049","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2222573-1c1823dbe5d91d72f3828a000d7130a4/thumbnail_164000.jpg","/articles/6352821/Florida/Special-magistrate-authorizes-foreclosure-or-money-judgment-suit-for-Loxahatchee-Groves-property","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6352821-8937aba9ae951d0d45484f55441cdd32/orig.mp4?Expires=1777147878&Signature=S3uJD9Kt448OKQLDXNqrWLQ7EWk8g3k7~Gl73d4bT3EEyw9wv3wAWULm3HbYromwb3ZXrWnXCBiYmyeEYk4HiRTy0xxkUY4kX56-dYF7kEvXNAMOn9PETeHuo3QlqVGCeSLH6JIhZ3s2kLhrCSeYO9IBWKyLUEEHIMkbpFJjKv58oRT-joaO0FzsZrM0Df5GGAeIFrPcEk2WeAYXAccfBs3K5Lj6vJBLsEnOU5uhJQJyYlkqfZPR6O0ea92Yrn8q1lw1Z-T5oGziAt~RmNdLaweuDE-oiNfyhlDykGqlFwQjE7RyqaRG7MNVD1QHyvRLlZMUOgls6lJkeH8FSw13DQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Special Magistrate authorized the Town of Loxahatchee Groves to either foreclose on the property at 1032 Hyde Park Road or to file an action to recover a money judgment for unpaid code-enforcement liens, after the town showed certified recorded orders and testimony that liens remained unpaid.

The town presented case files showing multiple recorded orders and certified-stamped copies of liens tied to several case numbers. Anthony Nianakis, a code compliance officer for the Town of Loxahatchee Groves, testified that the current owner is Eldad Itzkovich and that the liens remained unpaid as of Feb. 3, 2025. The town said notices were served by certified mail, posted at the property and at Town Hall, and that signed green cards and affidavits of service are in the case file.

Katie Edwards Walpole, attorney for the respondent, acknowledged receipt of recorded orders emailed by the town and noted the property’s Save Our Homes (homestead) status on the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser printout; she asked that the homestead status and statutory caps on fines be placed on the record. The town’s counsel said the magistrate hearing’s scope was limited to authorization and that issues such as homestead exemptions or ultimate defenses would be addressed if the town files suit.

After reviewing the recorded orders and the town’s testimony, the Special Magistrate found that the statutory conditions for authorization under chapter 162 had been met—each relevant order bore the town clerk’s certified stamp, had been recorded in the public record for more than 90 days, and the liens remained unpaid—and issued an order authorizing foreclosure or a suit to recover money judgment. The magistrate said the town will send certified notice of the order to the respondent and provide electronic copies.

Clarifying details from the town’s presentation list individual case numbers and recorded amounts. The town reported these outstanding amounts as of Feb. 3, 2025: case 202006122 — $141,900; case 22050001 — $198,250; case 20030035 — $165,250; case 23050031 — $153,500; case 23080004 — $121,250; case 23090001 — $269,000. The town summed the outstanding fines as $1,039,150. The town also recorded that no permits were issued for the property and that notices were posted and mailed on Jan. 23, 2025.

The order grants the town the option to proceed with foreclosure or pursue a money judgment for the lien amounts; it does not resolve defenses the owner may raise in court. Any further legal challenges or claims about homestead status were described by both sides as matters for later adjudication if the town files suit.

The town will provide copies of the magistrate’s order to the respondent and to counsel by certified mail and electronically.","The special magistrate granted the town authorization to foreclose or sue for money judgment on multiple unpaid code-enforcement liens totaling $1,039,150 for property at 1032 Hyde Park Road.","actionData","errors"]
