Pine Lake inspector confirms dead tree removal after code violation hearing

The Cooper City Special Magistrate Code Enforcement meeting on April 2, 2025, addressed a significant property violation concerning a dead tree and excessive undergrowth. The case involved a property located at 10260 Southwest 49th Manor, where the owner, Mr. Kaiser, was cited for failing to remove a dead tree.

During the meeting, Mr. Kaiser denied acknowledging the violation, stating he did not accept that there was an issue. However, Inspector Daniel, the code enforcement officer from the Broward Sheriff's Office, presented evidence of the violation. She confirmed that a courtesy notice and a notice of violation had been issued to the property owner, but the tree had not been removed in a timely manner, prompting the need for a magistrate hearing.

In a positive turn of events, Inspector Daniel reported that upon her recent inspection, the dead tree had been removed, bringing the property into compliance with city regulations. She provided updated photographs to confirm the removal, indicating that the property now meets the necessary standards.

This case highlights the ongoing efforts of Cooper City officials to enforce code compliance and maintain community standards. The swift resolution of this violation demonstrates the effectiveness of the code enforcement process in addressing property issues.
