Miami Dade Code Compliance Board issues violations for property repairs without permits

During the recent Code Enforcement Board meeting in Miami, significant actions were taken to address property violations, emphasizing the city's commitment to maintaining community standards. The board approved a finding of guilt for a property owner at 3301 Southwest 22nd Street, mandating compliance within three days for a violation involving an unpermitted vessel and trailer. The city will impose a fine of $250 per day if the owner fails to comply.

The case was presented by city inspector Vanessa Fino, who confirmed that the violations had been documented and communicated to the property owner through certified mail and posted notices. The inspector noted that the vessel had been removed, prompting the board's swift decision to enforce compliance.

In another case concerning a property at 550 Northwest 43rd Place, the board addressed multiple violations, including work done without permits for a driveway, fence, and windows. The city sought a 90-day compliance period, with a similar fine structure of $250 per day for any delays. The property owner indicated challenges in securing a contractor, which contributed to the ongoing violations.

These decisions reflect the city's proactive approach to code enforcement, ensuring that property owners adhere to regulations that safeguard the community's integrity. The board's actions not only aim to rectify current violations but also serve as a reminder to property owners about the importance of compliance with city codes. Moving forward, the city will continue to monitor these cases closely to ensure timely resolution and uphold community standards.
