The City of Sarasota Code Compliance Hearing on August 21, 2025, addressed several cases concerning building code violations, primarily related to hurricane damage repairs.

During the meeting, the first significant discussion involved the Schumalo Family LLC, which faced two cases (202500266 and 202500264) for repairing hurricane damage without the necessary permits. City representative Miss Kennedy reported that both violations had been corrected, with inspections confirming compliance on July 23 and August 20, respectively. As a result, the city recommended no fines or costs for the Schumalo Family, acknowledging the challenges posed by the hurricane recovery efforts. However, the hearing officer cautioned the family about the potential for future penalties, noting that repeat violations could incur daily fines exceeding $500.

The meeting also included a new case against Schaefer Grama Vincent Incorporated (case number 202500256) for drywall replacement that exceeded the permitted area of 160 square feet. Details regarding the outcome of this case were not discussed in the provided transcript.

Overall, the hearing underscored the city's approach to compliance, balancing enforcement with understanding of the difficulties faced by residents in the aftermath of natural disasters. The next steps for the Schaefer Grama Vincent case remain to be determined as the city continues to address building code violations.
