For two units at 3001 West Hallandale Beach Boulevard (Timely Property, Inc.), the town reduced fines from $40,100 to $6,100 for each unit (cases 8397 and 8403), and the magistrate granted a further requested reduction to $5,100 per unit, payable within 30 days or the original fines will resume.

Meat Bar Holdings LLC (cases 9484 and 9485) received abatements: case 9484 was reduced from $49,005.50 to $6,103 after the respondent explained tenant departures and the permit history; case 9485 was reduced from $19,350 to $2,988. The magistrate recorded that the properties are in compliance and set 30‑day payment deadlines.

Other mitigations entered on the record included case 4945 (4908 Southwest 30th Court), reduced from $14,700 to $2,375; case 6544 (same property series) reduced from $11,250 to $17.88; and case 9501 (5401 Southwest 25th Court) reduced from $108,500 to $16,275 subject to the owner’s agreement.

Town staff explained that abatements often include the $100 administrative hearing fee and that failure to pay the mitigated amount within the 30‑day deadline will result in reinstatement of the original fine amount. Several respondents said tenant turnover and administrative confusion contributed to delayed compliance; town staff said property managers and owners bear ultimate responsibility to notify the town and to complete required permits and inspections.

All abatements were entered as magistrate orders with the specified mitigated amounts and payment timelines; owners were advised to submit any abatement documentation and to coordinate with town staff if additional time is required.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CODE COMPLIANCE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE HEARING - May 21 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At the May 21 special magistrate hearing the town granted abatement requests and reduced fines for several commercial properties after owners and representatives presented mitigation evidence or attested to compliance; mitigated amounts were set and payment deadlines imposed.","taxTitle","Town of Pembroke Park, Broward County, Florida","taxId",71870,"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},6230597,"Magistrate orders property owner to pay cleanup costs and daily fines after repeat debris violation",696,8279000,8975000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3442154-3d45fce71dd1bdad7a801b68df4474d2&start=8279&end=8975","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3442154-3d45fce71dd1bdad7a801b68df4474d2/thumbnail_8279000.jpg","/articles/6230597/Florida/Magistrate-orders-property-owner-to-pay-cleanup-costs-and-daily-fines-after-repeat-debris-violation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6230597-7cb351c17e763723d04ad0e0f766f2a9/orig.mp4?Expires=1775321730&Signature=N0cIycYHCGOCqzEna1BYsWMTFzV1gQS75rm8rIcXj5C1Btr6mgIb5cRA3aYdEbUu-~93lpknwxmvGfGHw-dx8r6urbMnWLjit8lee29HDXxWlsEXHySz1EAN21Zs9JwPKIWtbkQiCgi47cHnfi0aS7h8jAaXitIZwIbeYULn1sPYBx9-fA5rv4Uq3oPncZ-Meo5cJ9Hp6qICS92ehxzejgs-8nGbo5Ll-CQELgARf3t3gqgjo5FCjUQqG3s6IwDFR5Ix2dRio1zkQWC8wHhqGz-vF~cwyD4~X~s9Bf3WTJP-4A0Z4xO5lfv7FfbwjXcCmFOTZbVz-7Lr34C1IG5g6g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Pembroke Park special magistrate ordered the owner of 3680 West Hallandale Beach Boulevard to pay municipal cleanup costs and to face daily fines after the property was cited again for accumulated trash and debris.

Chief Code Compliance Officer Jocelyn Ramirez told the magistrate the property had piles of branches, trash and debris and that the town cleaned the site after the owner failed to correct the violation within the prescribed time. Ramirez provided a town estimate of $4,658.20 for labor and vehicle rental related to the cleanup and said an additional invoice from the disposal contractor was pending.

The magistrate said fines would begin accruing from April 5, 2025, and ordered the owner to pay all cleanup costs incurred by the town. The magistrate also imposed the standard administrative assessment of $250 and said the daily per‑diem fine of $250 would continue to accrue from the April start date until the property is brought into compliance.

Town counsel clarified the order to make clear the owner must both come into compliance and pay recoverable cleanup costs, and the magistrate entered the final order on the record. McKinney said the town would pursue recovery of the cleanup cost and the continued fines until the condition is corrected.","The magistrate found a repeat code violation for a property at 3680 West Hallandale Beach Boulevard, ordered accrual of a daily fine beginning April 5 and required the owner to pay town cleanup costs and a $250 administrative fee.",{"_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},6230602,"Magistrate cuts Cobblestone property fine to $12,200 after owner cites seawall and permit work",591,6728000,7319000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3442154-3d45fce71dd1bdad7a801b68df4474d2&start=6728&end=7319","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3442154-3d45fce71dd1bdad7a801b68df4474d2/thumbnail_6728000.jpg","/articles/6230602/Florida/Magistrate-cuts-Cobblestone-property-fine-to-12200-after-owner-cites-seawall-and-permit-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6230602-25e1c3e73c4a7d458b168e7e741c3601/orig.mp4?Expires=1775321730&Signature=dEx-j5Awp6FOK5jGAf31svad83noTOJlw05PjxH167AOEhVvz8sRpZ1oMN9efXjPE7oOth-OjDp9gc8MfHEqJxe91b3ThFvlt0vrV0pQwDJdsZbRXMFHhJtVuZUDYROEizO88yKW79so2Qgfl3F91epS0RgD4dvYvzI~kUmh2-QrCehCpqGP6PUmS2y-CYUfXu3AgDhaYpvkInneHjOi25AO7wG8ca~l9Pmdym7MWfLP4t6S4M6IoLpJt0l81kIQxnJnnpt57Fz33BCxBB049lGyWDhFb83a5ZxcVemzeSRCbuoOckyM~RXVrjIOGnHjVBTdRz71kq8lgz0CsWYr4A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Special Magistrate Andre McKinney approved an abatement reducing a $121,100 code‑enforcement fine for Cobblestone 2 BNB LLC to $12,200 after the property manager asked for additional mitigation citing extensive permit activity and a seawall project.

Tenea Nichols, who identified herself as the property manager and later noted she is also employed by the City of West Park, told the magistrate the property owner had invested in a seawall and paid substantial permit fees. Nichols asked the magistrate to reduce the fine further and said, “the town itself has received approximately a 96,000 in permit fees just for the seawall” and that the project cost the company more than $1 million.

Magistrate McKinney said the town normally grants an 85% reduction in similar cases but approved a 90% reduction here, announcing the fine would be mitigated to $12,200 and must be paid within 30 days or the original $121,100 amount will be reinstated. McKinney said the reduction reflected the property’s compliance and “the betterment to the community” from the seawall project.

Nichols accepted the resolution in court. The order includes the $100 administrative hearing fee in the mitigated amount and requires payment or reinstatement of the original fine if payment is not made on time.

The magistrate noted his willingness to recuse if any party believed a conflict existed; he also recorded Nichols’s statement that her appearance was in a private capacity and not on behalf of West Park. The record shows the magistrate and the parties reached an agreement in the hearing and entered the abatement on the record.","Magistrate Andre McKinney approved a 90% reduction in a $121,100 fine for Cobblestone 2 BNB LLC, ordering the mitigated amount of $12,200 to be paid within 30 days; the owner’s representative cited extensive permitting fees and a seawall project as grounds for deeper mitigation.",{"_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},6230607,"Special magistrate confirms six-figure fines for two Pembroke Park properties, urges meeting with fire officials",982,926000,1908000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3442154-3d45fce71dd1bdad7a801b68df4474d2&start=926&end=1908","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3442154-3d45fce71dd1bdad7a801b68df4474d2/thumbnail_926000.jpg","/articles/6230607/Florida/Special-magistrate-confirms-six-figure-fines-for-two-Pembroke-Park-properties-urges-meeting-with-fire-officials","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6230607-1a38efb222440f03f8a25ef5334b2e26/orig.mp4?Expires=1775321730&Signature=YFaoTGDf3zBDyF2iGsqPC8~WC8jq6JynidAaYMDZ7bqhaOru0gRsI8Hrq6vA~lAefYj1CVcpOixglaJEEXyUaRSrNANtShydG0qAus56IK3eCQNDosA8ANqfjXFTv1oipLKmdeWnqPqHmegbZgtJ1f58ZSL9BZ7YBqo87pna4DCCwotjR84yQ1XVhdD7jiGKSejTlU91R9C0yhVCK8cf3MRAzkuBGcS6ZDKFTwj8p7ccIArVJzNNmvzAwFVGx-hPT9EusCF1JsCUv93i7dMLllMZnp4jjIp0LNvkLPjJFjD7CHnN5gxy6a5eEsCwyDgqw6rp0PSr7jqKEPQCvlv3jg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Pembroke Park special magistrate confirmed civil fines against Pembroke Crown LLC for two commercial properties after hearing testimony that the properties remain out of compliance.

Chief Code Compliance Officer Jocelyn Ramirez told the special magistrate that the town moved to confirm a $177,100 fine for 2649 South Park Lane (case 8288) and a $374,100 fine for 2565 South Park Lane (case 7734) because both properties still lacked required permits and business tax receipts. Special Magistrate Andre McKinney said, “Based on the testimony and evidence presented, there is substantial competent evidence to support the town’s position to confirm the fines.”

The matter drew extended testimony from attorney Jeremy Shear, who represents the property owner, and from a property representative who described years of attempts to obtain permits and plan approvals. Shear said his client removed a mezzanine, installed new racks and was completing electrical permits at 2649 South Park Lane, but that the larger problem at 2565 South Park Lane is a requirement from the fire department for an internal fire corridor.

Attorney Jeremy Shear said the corridor requirement would “result in a loss of 25% of the space and essentially render the economic value of the property to nil,” and described multiple architects, engineers and a retired fire marshal having attempted plans over two years without success. A property representative told the magistrate the owner had lost tenants while awaiting approvals and that the project has been repeatedly delayed: “We’ve lost four tenants,” the representative said.

Town staff and the property’s building manager, Jeffrey Lewis, said the town would facilitate further coordination with the fire inspector and Broward County or the Broward Sheriff’s Office fire prevention division to determine whether an alternative solution exists. Lewis told the magistrate the town could “set up a meeting with the current fire inspector” and escalate the discussion to the county office.

McKinney emphasized the limited scope of the hearing — whether the violation occurred — and confirmed the fines while urging the parties to continue working toward a technical resolution. He also reminded the property representatives that they may apply for abatement once violations are corrected, and that an abatement application would be considered in mitigation.

The magistrate’s orders confirm the fines and require the respondents to correct violations; failure to correct them will lead to continued per‑diem accrual and assessment of the $100 administrative hearing fee. The magistrate’s oral pronouncements left open the procedural next step of technical appeals to fire‑safety interpretations, which, town staff said, fall under the Florida Fire Prevention Code and the independent authority of the fire marshal rather than the town.","The Town of Pembroke Park special magistrate confirmed fines for two properties owned by Pembroke Crown LLC, while the magistrate and property representatives said ongoing fire-safety permit issues are blocking compliance and the town agreed to facilitate a meeting with the fire inspector.","actionData","errors"]
