Magistrate orders owner to secure pool, remove debris at vacant Miriam Drive property by Sept. 5
Summary
Magistrate Don Wynn found the vacant property at 3700 Miriam Drive in violation for junk, overgrowth and an unsecured, unsanitary pool and ordered corrections by Sept. 5, 2025; administrative costs of $128.53 were included and fines of $150 per day per violation will apply after the deadline.
A magistrate found the vacant property at 3700 Miriam Drive in violation of multiple code provisions, including junk and debris, overgrowth and unsafe pool enclosure conditions, and ordered the owner to correct the violations by Sept. 5, 2025.
City staff reported that certified mail to the owner was returned and that the residence has been vacant for several years. Inspectors documented overgrown vegetation, scattered debris, a damaged pool enclosure that could not be secured, and several feet of discolored pool water. Staff entered a notice of violation, notice of hearing and a cost-recovery statement of $128.53.
The magistrate found proper notice was provided and that violations of city code (including IPMC subsections on overgrowth and pool enclosures) existed. He ordered the owner to remove junk and debris, mow and trim vegetation, repair the pool enclosure so it prevents unauthorized access, and restore the pool water to sanitary condition by Sept. 5, 2025. The magistrate included the $128.53 city cost in the order and said that if violations are not corrected by Sept. 5, a fine of $150 per day per violation will be imposed until compliance; the order may be recorded in Brevard County public records.
