Clearwater Board finds property violations at 319 Hilltop Avenue

The City of Clearwater Municipal Code Enforcement Board convened on April 23, 2025, to address several code violation cases, focusing on property maintenance and safety issues.

The meeting began with a discussion led by Greg Dixon, a compliance inspector for the city, regarding case number 21-25 at 319 Hilltop Avenue. Dixon reported that the property had four identified violations: issues with exterior surfaces, fence maintenance, roof maintenance, and an unsafe pool. He noted that these violations were initially reported in January, with a compliance deadline set for March.

Following Dixon's presentation, a motion was made to find the respondent in violation of the municipal code as outlined in the affidavit for the case. The motion received a second and was unanimously approved by the board, confirming the violations.

The meeting underscored the board's commitment to maintaining safety and compliance within the community, with further actions expected to ensure that the property owner addresses the outstanding issues. The board's next steps will likely involve monitoring compliance and potentially imposing penalties if the violations are not rectified.
