Notable outcomes included continued fines on a Massey case for Page John Medical Center LLC at 1307 E. Normandy Blvd, where assistant fire marshal Samuel Schaller said the property had accrued fines of roughly $1,450 and the city will continue the $50-per-day assessment until the property obtains a permit and comes into compliance. The magistrate affirmed earlier orders and instructed the respondent to remain in contact with inspectors.

Other cases where the magistrate confirmed continuing fines or set compliance dates included:
- 125 Fieldstone Ave (DEL25-029): fines at $25 per day continuing for boarded windows following a prior 60-day order.
- 572 Leland Drive (DEL25-034): $25-per-day fines continuing for roof/soffit disrepair.
- 1740 Fort Smith Blvd (DEL25-050): fines continuing for a trailer/wrongful storage in the front yard; $25 per day accrued.
- 1697 Sumatra Ave (DEL25-055): $50-per-day fines continue for fence permitting delays; officer noted the respondent was working on obtaining a survey for permitting.

City officers repeatedly told the magistrate they had posted notices, sent certified mail to owners and photographed conditions. The magistrate admitted case files and PowerPoint exhibits into the record and reminded respondents of their appeal rights under Florida Statute 162.11.

Why this matters: The hearing shows the magistrate enforcing prior orders, continuing fines where compliance has not occurred and setting new deadlines. For property owners, the hearing emphasizes the need to engage with code officers and the consequences of noncompliance.

Details: Across multiple cases the magistrate either reaffirmed prior orders (continuing daily fines) or set new compliance deadlines, typically 30 to 90 days depending on the nature of the violation. Inspectors said evidence (photographs, permit and plan-review records) supported the cases. Respondents were generally ordered to notify the relevant code compliance officer once corrective work is complete.

Next steps: Affected property owners must work with the city's code compliance staff to file permits, obtain inspections or remove noncompliant structures to stop fines; parties retain appeal rights under state law.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Special Magistrate Hearing, July 23, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At a July 23 special magistrate hearing, the magistrate confirmed or continued fines and deadlines on several properties — including continued $50-per-day fines at a medical office and ongoing fines for boarded and damaged residential properties — ordering owners to contact inspectors to verify compliance.","taxTitle","Deltona, Volusia County, Florida","taxId",4876,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6159205,"Convenience-store tenant built unauthorized kitchen; owner says she did not authorize alterations",1769,4611000,6380000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5456001-b5e4628be13a389cefd6ee4cdced2070&start=4611&end=6380","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5456001-b5e4628be13a389cefd6ee4cdced2070/thumbnail_4611000.jpg","/articles/6159205/Deltona/Volusia-County/Florida/Convenience-store-tenant-built-unauthorized-kitchen-owner-says-she-did-not-authorize-alterations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6159205-af89b8d7f13054d74d1626d9563b7224/orig.mp4?Expires=1770542684&Signature=ni~BUEdUp6WQGQk86rl60MCmOP~JDw8V7YlAg8TLRCKdPKIMNDPNXfsqSAgzlVcNtzQlmN4U0PumytOyNrnCWi-qjVB1C2czUVTN~3Uvg3vlh7BIyL99KzeqLBIUS~bcR4voJOwDamdoV2w2rLYcdCXPcxc21IzIk2ZK~OgiMSZjCkhNToHTvKn~X5F6go3-MWDOUj08Hbz6dz0uIHadPctN96Fa6Tm5v63B4bt8LNkWJboeKCrbWrViHQzKsMjy4Z8QaDv8z-VfkoaTwU1XrKeC0pVtAZenPdCqCLYIRPxynpd~gUVJV1wPgfYyctE2iJge~iRdwEgByd-B6I5srQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The special magistrate found the property at 1644 Providence Boulevard in violation for multiple unpermitted interior alterations that created a kitchen area and obstructed an egress door, and ordered the property owner to correct specific violations on staggered timetables or face fines.

Assistant fire marshal Samuel Schaller and fire safety inspector Jory Bailey told the magistrate city inspections found newly constructed interior walls, new electrical receptacles and ceiling receptacles, installation and use of a self-venting deep fryer without approved manufacturer specifications, and removal/demolition of portions of the fire-alarm system. The inspectors also reported that one newly constructed wall obstructed an exit door and that numerous electrical receptacles and wiring installations lacked permits.

Schaller said the city obtained statements from the property owner, Kimberly Crawford, who told inspectors she had not authorized interior alterations. Schaller said the city had provided the owner an opportunity to respond and that no permit applications had been received for the majority of work. The magistrate ordered the respondent to correct violations A and D within 30 days (by Aug. 22), and violations B and E within 90 days (by Oct. 21), and warned that fines of $50 per violation per day (up to $200 per day total) would be imposed for continued noncompliance.

Why this matters: The case involves potential life-safety risks — cooking equipment without proper review and the obstruction of an emergency exit — and raises landlord–tenant issues when a property owner says she did not authorize the work.

Details: Inspectors documented removal of the fire alarm panel, installation of a ResFab self-venting fryer and other cooking equipment without submitted manufacturer specifications, new walls blocking an egress door, and numerous new electrical outlets installed without permits. The city required manufacturer specs, electricians’ assessments, removal or permitting of walls that obstruct egress, and an issued building permit for new electrical work. The owner indicated she would consult her legal representative.

Next steps: The magistrate’s order requires corrections in stages (30-day and 90-day items) and directs the respondent to notify code compliance inspectors for verification; fines will begin if deadlines are missed.","Inspectors reported unpermitted interior construction that closed an emergency egress, installed a fryer and multiple electrical receptacles, and removed fire-alarm equipment; the property owner said she did not authorize the work.

Fire safety inspector Jory Bailey described violations including an unpermitted electrical panel installation, open junction boxes without covers, overloaded junction boxes, missing panel schedules, and concerns that some wiring appeared potentially unsafe. Bailey told the magistrate inspections dating back to Oct. 24, 2024, documented new deficiencies and that an electrical permit (electrical 24-0071) had been canceled by the contractor on June 17, 2025.

The magistrate reviewed the nature of the violations (listed as violations A–E in the city's presentation) and noted the owner's statements that prior tenants performed unpermitted electrical work. The magistrate set a compliance date of Sept. 8, 2025, and ordered the respondent to obtain required permits, provide a licensed electrician's evaluation where requested, and call for final inspections. If not corrected by the deadline the magistrate said fines of $50 per day per violation would be imposed (the transcript records the magistrate calculating a 47-day compliance window to Sept. 8).

Why this matters: The ordered repairs include safety-critical electrical and fire-alarm issues that can present immediate hazards to building occupants and first responders.

Details: Bailey described that new panels and receptacles had been installed without permits, at one point prompting fire crews to advise leaving power off until a licensed electrician assessed the system after a power loss call. The owner, Mohammed Asgar, said a prior tenant performed much of the unpermitted work; he stated a new contractor had submitted an application and he expected progress. The magistrate set the Sept. 8 deadline and directed the owner to keep the inspector informed.","The special magistrate ordered 2 Star Investment Inc. to correct multiple electrical and fire-safety violations at 271 Fort Smith Blvd by Sept. 8, 2025, or face $50 per violation per day.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6159216,"Magistrate gives owner until Oct. 21 to fix Providence Boulevard roof; bat season cited as delay",464,1286000,1750000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5456001-b5e4628be13a389cefd6ee4cdced2070&start=1286&end=1750","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5456001-b5e4628be13a389cefd6ee4cdced2070/thumbnail_1286000.jpg","/articles/6159216/Deltona/Volusia-County/Florida/Magistrate-gives-owner-until-Oct-21-to-fix-Providence-Boulevard-roof-bat-season-cited-as-delay","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6159216-b1acc2fa381a559343fa95e54a0cf554/orig.mp4?Expires=1770542684&Signature=X4Jvpib4cb0tDpNcmwD0fqxB4DQbwiA3CB5x1YFSSgN8YiYZjYBTks9UPhkkTpKOjxfLL1gGzxQ7CRuGlidGMXxR8ePTi7Nx5qYbeS7RR9stc0wKdkzC776m6~43o6UkPJnP0atM2zUUAeZEHErc9Ka77gfkv7yJhmmxVIIabxbiwMz2qkw1VJw5HMr98VvV83~U6OQpJs7T0Ag3DgMzHjNChIEjXkReHY8SuGA8TrEjaTBqjBsWo9VNuquOuMRms6eu4W58g1UHeMujMkuazuEHZ8DpkZy1-HdSb~HgAExNGg3XF6cFTFlxh-CMpE1KfquLDbaw0vC1HJCi6xWATA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The special magistrate found the owner of 1229 Providence Boulevard in violation of property-maintenance code on July 23 and ordered repairs to the roof by 4 p.m. on Oct. 21, 2025, or a $25-per-day fine will be imposed.

City code compliance officer Tina Pagan presented photographs and a timeline showing repeated visits and notices after roof tiles became loose. Pagan said earlier inspections identified that loose tiles posed a hazard. \"The roof is in disrepair,\" Pagan said in her presentation.

The owner’s representative, Joel Squatieri, told the magistrate that bats discovered in the roof structure prevent repairs during the bats' protected season and that removal or exclusion typically cannot occur between April 15 and Aug. 15. He said contractors would not relocate bats during that period. Squatieri asked for a time extension; the magistrate extended the compliance window to Oct. 21, 2025 (90 days), and ordered the respondent to contact code compliance when repairs are complete. The city recommended 30 days or a $25-per-day fine, but the magistrate allowed more time to accommodate wildlife-protection constraints.

Why this matters: The case illustrates how state wildlife-protection rules can affect code-enforcement timelines and how magistrates balance safety hazards against lawful species protections.

Details: Pagan recited inspection dates and the posting of notices. Squatieri told the magistrate the property removed loose tiles but that bats occupied the roof and legally cannot be excluded until after Aug. 15. The magistrate acknowledged the biological constraint and set a longer compliance deadline (Oct. 21) with a $25-per-day penalty thereafter.

Next steps: Respondent must notify the inspector when work is completed and may be subject to the daily fine if the October deadline is missed.","The owner of 1229 Providence Blvd was found in violation for a roof in disrepair.

The order followed testimony from city fire safety inspector Jory Bailey, who told the magistrate the city had identified interior construction done without an issued permit and that a permit application (Building 25-15) had been submitted but not issued because the permit had not been picked up. \"The permit is ready to be picked up. So until they pick it up, it's not issued,\" Bailey said during the hearing.

The magistrate admitted the city case file and related photographs into evidence and found statutory notice requirements satisfied. The ruling requires the respondent to notify the code compliance inspector once work is complete so the inspector can verify compliance. The magistrate said fines of $50 per day will be imposed for each day the violations continue past the stated compliance date.

Why this matters: The decision resolves whether Deltona Wellness will be allowed time to formalize its permit after the permit file was prepared by staff but not collected by the contractor. The order preserves the city's authority to impose daily fines for ongoing unpermitted work.

Details: Bailey recited inspection dates and the city's efforts to review submitted plans; inspections on March 11, April 7 and May 8 showed construction without a permit. The city recommended 30 days to obtain the issued permit and complete remaining corrections or a $50-per-day fine thereafter. The property owner's representative said plans had been revised and that the contractor had prepared the permit package; the representative did not object to the 30-day schedule.

Next steps: If the respondent does not comply by 4 p.m. on Aug. 22, 2025, the daily fine begins. The order informs the parties of their appeal rights under Florida Statutes section 162.11.","A special magistrate found Deltona Wellness LP in violation for carrying out interior work without issued permits and ordered the property to pick up an available permit and obtain final inspections within 30 days or face a $50 daily fine.","actionData","errors"]
