The City of Sarasota Code Compliance Hearing on August 21, 2025, addressed two significant cases involving property violations. The hearings were led by city representatives, including Miss Kennedy, who outlined the city's position on the cases.

The first case, numbered 202500875, involved violations related to overgrowth and the accumulation of junk, rubbish, and trash. According to Miss Kennedy, both violations were corrected as of the city's inspection on August 19. The second case, 202500876, also pertained to similar violations on a vacant lot, with overgrowth corrected on August 19 and the accumulation of junk resolved by the morning of the hearing.

During the proceedings, the city recommended a civil fine of $100 and costs of $465 for the first case, while no fines were sought for the second case. The potential civil fine for the first case was initially noted at $7,800, but the city clarified that they were only pursuing a one-day fine of $100 to alleviate the financial burden on taxpayers.

Mister Gamboa, representing Apex Capital, acknowledged the city's recommendations and expressed understanding of the process. The hearing concluded with the imposition of the civil fine and costs, and a reminder to Mister Gamboa about the city's repeat violator provision, which could lead to higher fines for future violations.

The city will send the bill via email to Mister Gamboa, ensuring he is informed of the payment process. The hearing effectively resolved the two cases, emphasizing the city's commitment to maintaining property standards and compliance within Sarasota.
