Code Supervisor Nick Faulkner presented the history: an earlier compliance order required roof repair or replacement and pool-enclosure screen repairs within 15 days; re-inspections on June 20 and July 22, 2025 showed the roof remained in disrepair and the pool enclosure still had torn or missing screens. Faulkner documented the case costs as $20.98 (unpaid) plus additional case costs of $31.41 for a total of $52.39.
Mary Fleener appeared and told the board she had contracted for a full roof replacement and expected permitting and contractor work to start shortly; she said she wanted to avoid having roof debris damage newly repaired screens and therefore delayed screen replacement until after roof work. She agreed to put up temporary, more substantial barriers than caution tape (staff suggested orange safety netting with stakes) to reduce the immediate safety risk to the pool area. The board discussed permitting timelines, contractor availability and the importance of addressing the pool-cage safety issue quickly.
Board attorney Daniel Lewis advised that because a compliance order remains in effect and the matter is at the penalty phase, tabling the penalty hearing does not erase the existing order or stop the noncompliance clock; the board may consider the homeowner’s good-faith efforts and any work completed when it next addresses penalties. Board members then voted to continue the hearing until the next code-enforcement meeting (Friday, Aug. 29). Staff asked the homeowner to provide written updates and photographs of progress to Code Supervisor Nick Faulkner before the next hearing. The board noted no fines were being imposed immediately while the matter is continued, but noncompliance remains on the record and may be considered when the board next meets.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Code Enforcement Board 07-23-25","oneSentenceSummary","A penalty-phase hearing for 2817 Sancho Panza Court was continued to the Code Enforcement Board's Aug. 29 meeting after the homeowner said a roof replacement contract was in progress and agreed to temporary pool-cage safety measures; case costs total $52.39.","taxTitle","Punta Gorda City, Charlotte County, Florida","taxId",54477,"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},6152706,"Board orders Larimore-owned Marion Avenue property repaired within 30 days; cites roof, siding and dead palm tree",741,1520000,2261000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5496797-e74b619b58bc15888e3af9f07dc5749a&start=1520&end=2261","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5496797-e74b619b58bc15888e3af9f07dc5749a/thumbnail_1520000.jpg","/articles/6152706/Punta-Gorda-City/Charlotte-County/Florida/Board-orders-Larimore-owned-Marion-Avenue-property-repaired-within-30-days-cites-roof-siding-and-dead-palm-tree","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6152706-a5c67e9629a8a53721822f52045bd8a3/orig.mp4?Expires=1775551711&Signature=Go5vFU-~twnK1nMw7tT4kENQXxBr8MzbvioedQjF4C4RRbU6PrPzfGnFQ-mRzyJ-570olBWVbhw5LdxfWGFZsEdOv7CTxrRWivSzS2ZvuHDTgjh0Cju1SwNnh5AAPM4tg0pAuHqy6zm1WYabm16Kimpdzbk58wYdn-55~DbJEPmBJ5G323n8J7ZSOpeRgRRwmf3DdkPpUzf7EFlMw9wfL6VpvUopTbXeOPayGpA0rEY2JWFu60XfBI~dKM62c8rdgaCC5inzTfDElmY1-5RWYYs3ME~ODZPu8LgOEZYNQhJQlXpzASUGFqeb4ctW~~znphNcaEU5pG6zfMd9l8394Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Punta Gorda Code Enforcement Board found the property at 925 West Marion Avenue in violation of Punta Gorda Code provisions on roof and property maintenance, and ordered the respondents to make repairs within 30 days.
Code Compliance Officer Frank Coppinger (identified in the record as Frank Coppin/Coppinger) submitted 43 photos and described siding and soffit disrepair, torn or missing pool-cage screening and a roof with cracked and peeling surface material observed during an April 25, 2025 inspection. A dead palm tree in the front yard was also cited. The city’s initial notice was returned undeliverable and later posted on the property and at the City Hall Annex; a certified notice of hearing was delivered July 7, 2025.
Staff told the board the property is one of several associated with Larimore entities and is in receivership; investigations indicated an owner may be in federal custody and a foreclosure default hearing was scheduled for August 7, 2025. The board found a prima facie case, ordered the respondents to bring the property into compliance within 30 days of receipt of the order and assessed case costs of $34.31 payable within 30 days. The board warned that failure to comply could result in fines of up to $250 per day plus interest.
Board members discussed mail receipt, the receivership status and the limited success of past efforts to obtain responses from receivers; staff said certified mailing was signed for at an Arizona address on July 7, 2025.
The board’s order is administrative and separate from any federal or foreclosure proceedings noted by staff.","Punta Gorda Code Enforcement Board found multiple maintenance violations at 925 West Marion Avenue, ordered compliance within 30 days and assessed $34.31 in case costs; staff reported limited contact with receivers and pending foreclosure actions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6152711,"Board finds violations at Via Formia property; orders 30-day compliance and $16.38 in costs",565,934000,1499000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5496797-e74b619b58bc15888e3af9f07dc5749a&start=934&end=1499","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5496797-e74b619b58bc15888e3af9f07dc5749a/thumbnail_934000.jpg","/articles/6152711/Punta-Gorda-City/Charlotte-County/Florida/Board-finds-violations-at-Via-Formia-property-orders-30-day-compliance-and-1638-in-costs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6152711-b7ae0d2ffc41eaf3da4a772b8075737a/orig.mp4?Expires=1775551711&Signature=We7BXdWTbVlzt10R4y~YZUsLT1KelVBtJcJ-F9ExskI5omOskZRRxyEVlJAAnlk-1wfO5OsYHLVaRYLtLCfqtqI7aejWeQEYVxl9TyAkj-4vxrHePO5b3A0edifoj7mB2Z~OXsPQJNbsTQx0WMxWyQcTL43iKNutIDeYkwz4lnmDH9NJHqPEOSAv45AtFMDsi~E9lZZUmwN7XLboTLKMDgyls3TTMSAWsnqR3IGXmbqfXr-2dKZgcwLVqKYTWw3xxSZzRLej5si3TK-90Renrx9AVr7r95EZd~uCnlDv1ZmI0wE0d2OrwmOS5e5vTnPMTNql9TsIHZllCQNmDUVzgQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Punta Gorda Code Enforcement Board found that the property at 7711 Via Formia violated Punta Gorda Code sections on tall grass, property maintenance and visible trash storage and ordered the respondent to correct the violations within 30 days.
Code Compliance Officer Meredith Achtenberg presented 18 photos taken May 19 and follow-up inspections showing tall grass and weeds in landscaped areas, trash containers visible from the street and outside storage items (roof tiles, plastic containers, metal material) that remained after a certified notice and a subsequent certified notice of hearing. The initial corrective notice was mailed on May 20, 2025 and was received by the respondent via certified mail on May 21, 2025; re-inspections on June 30 and July 22, 2025 found the violations persisted.
The board issued a cease-and-desist order covering Punta Gorda Code ch. 9 §9-2(h), ch. 26 §8.11(e), ch. 26 §3.13(o) and ch. 9 §9-2(a). It ordered compliance within 30 days of receipt of the order and assessed case costs of $16.38 due within 30 days. The board said failure to comply could result in fines up to $250 per day plus interest.
Officers noted there had been some contact from the property owner’s son, who said the owners were out of the country and inquired about corrective steps; the city provided photographs and instructions by email.","Punta Gorda Code Enforcement Board found violations at 7711 Via Formia for tall grass, visible trash containers and outside storage; ordered compliance within 30 days and assessed $16.38 in case costs.",{"_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},6152716,"Code board finds violations at vacant Windward Court home, orders cleanup within 60 days",767,113000,880000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5496797-e74b619b58bc15888e3af9f07dc5749a&start=113&end=880","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5496797-e74b619b58bc15888e3af9f07dc5749a/thumbnail_113000.jpg","/articles/6152716/Punta-Gorda-City/Charlotte-County/Florida/Code-board-finds-violations-at-vacant-Windward-Court-home-orders-cleanup-within-60-days","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6152716-5cfb5425008d0c77b9fc100cfdd5cb76/orig.mp4?Expires=1775551711&Signature=CB0-x0ghtz7KBlDAtCMImN8EVpZc4uP~vUFByLL4OcZ609lFdJQsG-h5mAS1tBgS372xr6kIKF17Y4ALMYODCOwJjvymNz7zcl6U4CEURs5hhm6PypDT~gxZOek7iUr4XH6rZYwYDNNcjutb8R3qSmzl7UiiIH1kSy3VRm8XTnYcXEM9O5TSRlea-GK75dmUq68J3GLtort3porKjmz0XvInqRbWp8pTK7NlyMv7AS1tcbmCaNKQOASTWNKlVYjRv6zbXH0q2vwgCXXL-zLpZbp4wTVL94mzjlC57Oqqe7YOb6NXseChXmulIkJMiEF~z~qMTfI~k-EApvPO-fWaMg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Punta Gorda Code Enforcement Board found that the property at 1239 Windward Court is in violation of multiple sections of the Punta Gorda Code and ordered the respondent to bring the property into compliance within 60 days.
Board members voted that the city established a prima facie case after Code Compliance Officer Meredith Achtenberg presented inspection photos and a timeline showing notices sent and posted in April and June 2025. Achtenberg reported tall grass and/or weeds exceeding 12 inches, stagnant water in the pool and outside storage items remaining on the property during inspections on April 8, June 23 and July 22, 2025.
The board issued a cease-and-desist order for future violations of Punta Gorda Code Chapter 9 §9-2(h), Chapter 26 §8.11(e) and Chapter 9 §9-2(a), ordered the respondent to bring the property into compliance within 60 days of receipt of the order and assessed case costs of $29.22 payable within 60 days. The board warned that failure to comply may lead to fines of up to $250 per day plus interest. The board also instructed staff to continue efforts to locate a responsible party, including checking probate and tax records and working with Code Supervisor Nick Faulkner on follow-up.
The violations and the board’s finding were entered in the record after the city’s notices were shown to have been posted on the property and at City Hall Annex; certified mailings to the owner were returned undeliverable or not returned. The city’s standard distressed-property procedures (posting and a 10-day cure period followed by contractor mowing and liening if not paid) were discussed as the enforcement path if contact with an owner cannot be made.
The board’s action is an administrative compliance order; it does not itself replace any other civil or foreclosure actions that may be pending against the property.","Punta Gorda Code Enforcement Board found code violations at 1239 Windward Court for tall grass, stagnant pool water and outside storage; ordered compliance within 60 days and assessed $29.22 in case costs.","actionData","errors"]
