Wellington code compliance finds Kornberg in violation over roofing and landscape issues

Wellington's Special Magistrate Hearing on April 17, 2025, resulted in significant decisions regarding property compliance and code enforcement, impacting local residents and property owners.

The hearing addressed multiple cases, with a notable focus on the property of Ira Kornberg at 1437 Rudder Cove. Kornberg was found in violation of several Wellington land development regulations, primarily concerning the disrepair of his roof and missing hedges. The special magistrate granted Kornberg an extension until July 17, 2025, to rectify these issues, emphasizing the importance of compliance for community standards. If the violations are not corrected by the deadline, a fine of $25 per day per violation will be imposed, along with additional costs.

Kornberg expressed his commitment to resolving the issues, stating he is in the process of securing a roofing contract and intends to address the landscaping requirements. The magistrate acknowledged the challenges Kornberg faced in obtaining timely contractor services and encouraged him to keep the code enforcement division informed of his progress.

In another case, the magistrate reviewed a situation involving RJ Segan Associates at 1826 Steinfurt Circle, where work was conducted without the necessary permits. The code compliance division recommended a fine of up to $50 per day for ongoing violations, with a correction deadline set for May 15, 2025. A cease and desist order was also proposed to prevent further unauthorized work.

These hearings underscore Wellington's commitment to maintaining property standards and ensuring compliance with local regulations. The outcomes not only hold property owners accountable but also aim to enhance the overall quality of life within the community. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about compliance requirements and to reach out to the code enforcement division for assistance in meeting local standards.
