Inspectors and board members repeatedly noted that violations linger when properties are in estates or owners are unavailable.

At one extended exchange, a witness and board counsel discussed a case involving a deceased owner and an unresolved probate filing. Board members repeatedly asked for documentation and for staff to seek clarity from the clerk's office or the parties so the board could identify legally responsible persons. \"It was filed, but it hasn't moved forward,\" one participant said of a will submitted to the court; the board then discussed whether to impose fines or continue the matter while heirs or personal representatives were identified.

Why it matters: When ownership is unclear or probate is pending, municipal authority to force compliance is constrained by the need to give notice and by limits on property transfer; the board frequently allowed additional time when heirs or representatives were working through probate or court-ordered guardianships.

Decisions and direction: In several estate-related matters the board granted continuances to future cutoff dates and directed staff to accept documentation of probate filings or guardian appointments; in one case the board imposed a fine on an estate because the property remained in the deceased owner's name and no personal representative had brought the property into compliance.

Next steps: Staff was asked to follow up with heirs and counsel, to accept authoritative court filings when supplied, and to return cases on the listed cutoff dates with updates on probate or repair progress.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Code Enforcement Board February 13, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Several cases at the Daytona Beach Code Enforcement Board's Feb. 13 meeting involved deceased owners or unsettled estates; board members frequently granted continuances and emphasized need for probate or legal authority before final decisions.","taxTitle","Daytona Beach City, Volusia County, Florida","taxId",4832,"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},6151448,"Meeting technology problems force continuances, board re-notices several Zoom cases",364,299000,663000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5502481-db645182187dd54f92597706f3ece8d6&start=299&end=663","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5502481-db645182187dd54f92597706f3ece8d6/thumbnail_299000.jpg","/articles/6151448/Daytona-Beach-City/Volusia-County/Florida/Meeting-technology-problems-force-continuances-board-re-notices-several-Zoom-cases","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6151448-a619a1e146e4007c788f37bf470862f2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771139798&Signature=L9gO3idn85jBqV8z-FsYlg0qQ~ZyGCTO1nQY0Y1souRMwfj9iiAFd~rr9WOVnCAByZBweg~ekf8I9v9kvMeHGL3SUWToS3EW0QkaRCpiP2b3rXDN4hN6ueZunAcVnvzww~LKZ97NfCTg-UjYRYTy3av8XyOLjAnoE-J1ORlU24ttKjaTHbdcVVQb~y3iRfTw816x1TePm0McRUbCGyZ9yugiouzn85NVGLoERasemUq8y9eWOEpuoXRqUrxHFAtLTY7p3rcjtoz3Jwq8j~FmUB0bASnXw8ZqJ7k1ap~~zshYZZQXjqpTnwf5Nl~c06tXuaJGC4o0BHNBx7FGVNSsDg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Daytona Beach Code Enforcement Board’s Feb. 13 late meeting was hampered by audio problems and inability to connect expected Zoom participants, prompting staff to re-notice several cases and ask the board whether to administratively continue Zoom participants to the next meeting.

Early in the session staff and board members repeatedly said the chamber audio and remote connection were unreliable. “We can’t do Zoom,” a board member said when staff attempted to connect remote participants; IT later informed staff that remote participants would be notified that Zoom was unavailable and their matters would be re-noticed. Deputy City Attorney Anthony Jackson told the board that the board could either continue cases administratively or proceed at the members’ discretion, but emphasized fairness to parties unable to participate remotely.

Why it matters: Several cases listed for remote appearance were re-noticed; parties who had prepared to appear by Zoom were told staff would notify them that the meeting would not accept remote testimony and their hearings would be moved.

What the board directed: Staff said it would re-notice affected participants and proceed with in-person attendees; counsel confirmed the board had authority to administratively continue cases when technology prevents participation. The board proceeded with in-person cases and scheduled re-noticed remote cases for subsequent meetings.

Throughout the meeting, city inspectors described repeated notices and reinspections at properties across the city. For example, the board approved a fine of $250 per day (capped at $10,000) for a property cited for overgrown grass and related safety concerns; in another case the board approved a $100-per-day fine up to $15,000 where staff said the property was occupied but had seen no meaningful progress toward compliance.

“Staff recommends the imposition of a fine of $250 per day to be capped at $10,000,” an inspector told the board in one case; in others, inspectors repeatedly told the board that re‑inspections had found the properties still noncompliant after multiple notices and visits.

Decisions and common outcomes: The board repeatedly granted fines set at daily rates (common amounts in the meeting included $100, $200 and $500 per day) and frequently capped the total at amounts between $10,000 and $15,000; in cases where owners showed evidence of progress or had active permit applications the board sometimes amended previous orders to allow additional time to comply. Where owners were absent or did not respond, the board generally moved to impose fines.

Why it matters: The board’s actions reflect the city's stepped enforcement approach—daily fines for continuing violations and deadlines tied to reinspections—aimed at motivating property owners to complete repairs and reduce blight.

Next steps: For each property the board ordered staff follow-up: reinspections, confirmation of permits and documentation of compliance. Cases will return to the board on stated cutoff dates when staff will report progress or recommend further action.

The city’s inspector told the board the owner was overseas and that a newly hired property manager had completed the work and secured required permits and inspections.

“Staff's recommendation is gonna be to waive the entire fine amount,” the city's representative said during the hearing. Blue Palm Property Management representative Steve Cooney told the board he had been retained to manage the property and had coordinated with inspectors to bring the site into compliance.

The board voted to accept staff’s recommendation. The motion to reduce the lien to $0 was made by Mr. Gonzales and seconded by Mr. Harrington; the board recorded the motion as carried.

Why it matters: The board's decision relieves the property of a monetary lien, reflecting staff's finding that conditions were corrected and that further penalties were unnecessary given the owner's circumstances and remediation steps taken by new management.

Context and next steps: Staff said the owner had been unaware of the violations because he was overseas and in the military; new management secured required surveys and permits, passed inspections and requested full waiver. The board directed staff to document the compliance and update records to remove the lien.

Inspector Danny Garcia of the city’s code compliance division told the board that staff recommended lowering the fine after the owner brought the property into partial compliance. “Staff’s recommending to reduce the fine down to $5,000,” Garcia said.

The board’s chair called the motion and the board voted to accept the recommendation. The motion was made by Miss Scribe and seconded by Mr. Harrington; the board recorded the motion as carried. The board’s action keeps the original fine amount in reserve if the reduced payment is not made within 30 days.

Why it matters: The board’s decision changes the immediate financial obligation for the property owner while preserving the city’s ability to restore the original assessment if the payment deadline is missed.

Background and next steps: Garcia traced the case history in public remarks: the property had been the subject of repeated notices and reinspections dating back to late 2023; staff reported the most recent inspection found the property substantially improved. The board set the 30-day payment deadline and instructed staff to return the matter to the board if the owner fails to pay.

What the board recorded: The motion to accept the city’s recommendation was moved by Miss Scribe and seconded by Mr. Harrington; members voted to carry the motion. The order reduces the assessed lien to $5,000, payable in 30 days, after which the prior assessment may be reinstated if the reduced payment is not received.

Reporting note: The board debated the matter during the lien review portion of the agenda; the record contains staff’s recommendation and the board vote.
