Magistrate orders repairs, debris removal at 419 Wager Avenue; Sept. 5 compliance deadline set
Summary
Magistrate Don Wynn found multiple violations at 419 Wager Avenue, including junk and debris, damaged fence and roof issues, and ordered the owners to correct them by Sept. 5, 2025; administrative costs of $251.80 were assessed and $100-per-day fines will apply after the deadline.
A magistrate ordered owners Eric Hampton and Catherine Jefferson to remove junk and debris, repair damaged fence sections and correct roof and drainage issues at 419 Wager Avenue by Sept. 5, 2025.
City staff presented photographs from an April inspection and a July follow-up showing debris in the yard, missing fence sections and a tarp on a damaged roof. Staff entered a notice of violation, a notice of hearing and a cost-recovery statement of $251.80 into the record and recommended compliance by Sept. 5, with $100-per-day fines for each violation if the work is not completed.
The magistrate found the notices were properly provided and that the property violated city codes (IPMC 302.7 for exterior property areas, IPMC 304.7 for roof and drainage, and city code 12-23 for junk and debris). He ordered the owners to remove debris or store it indoors, repair or remove damaged fence sections, remove the tarp and make appropriate roof repairs and obtain permits as needed. "Respondent shall be given until September 5 to correct the violations," the magistrate said, and added the $251.80 city cost to the order.
If the owners do not correct the violations by Sept. 5, the magistrate said a fine of $100 per day per violation will be imposed until compliance; the order may be recorded as a lien in Brevard County public records.
