Property Owner Frederick Brugge says he will clear violations at 2038 Ballpark Road

A Bay County property at 2038 Ballpark Road remains in violation of local codes, despite efforts by the owner to address issues. During a recent Code Magistrate Hearing, officials reported that inspections on July 28 and August 11 revealed ongoing problems, including junk accumulation and overgrowth.

The property owner, Frederick Brugge, acknowledged the violations but stated he was actively working to clean up the site. He mentioned plans to remove a trailer filled with debris and clear additional junk from the property. However, the timeline for compliance has been a concern, as the property was initially given 15 days to rectify the issues following a July 10 hearing.

Despite some progress, the property has not yet met the required standards, leading to its scheduled tax deed sale on September 30, 2025. The situation highlights ongoing challenges in maintaining property standards in Bay County, as officials continue to monitor compliance efforts.
