Deltona City Magistrate orders compliance on expired permits and fire code violations

The City of Deltona held a Special Magistrate Hearing on April 23, 2025, addressing several code violations that directly impact community safety and property standards. The meeting highlighted the importance of compliance with city regulations, particularly regarding expired permits and fire safety codes.

One of the key discussions involved property owner Steven Holliday, who was cited for failing to renew two expired permits related to electrical work and the construction of a privacy wall. The city requested a 30-day compliance period for Holliday to rectify these violations, warning that a fine of $50 per day would be imposed for each day the violations remain unresolved. The expired permits were originally issued for relocating underground wiring and constructing a six-foot privacy wall, both of which had not completed the necessary inspections.

In another case, the city addressed violations at a property owned by Carolina Cleaning and Roberto Renovations LLC. The property was found to be in violation of fire safety codes, specifically regarding the labeling of electrical panels and address signage. The city inspector noted that while some violations had been corrected, others remained outstanding. The city requested a 14-day compliance period for these remaining issues, also threatening a $50 daily fine for non-compliance.

These hearings underscore the city’s commitment to maintaining safety standards and ensuring that property owners adhere to regulations that protect the community. The outcomes of these cases will not only affect the individual property owners but also contribute to the overall safety and aesthetic standards of Deltona. As the city continues to enforce these codes, residents can expect ongoing efforts to uphold community safety and property values.
