Daytona Beach special magistrate orders multiple property owners to fix code violations, sets Nov. 5 compliance cutoff

The City of Daytona Beach special magistrate convened Oct. 14, 2025 and heard a packed docket of property code enforcement cases. The magistrate found many respondents in noncompliance, ordered most to correct violations by the next cutoff (Nov. 5, 2025) or return for consideration of fines of up to $1,000 per day, and imposed or amended deadlines in several cases.

At the start of the session the magistrate reviewed a lien case (Pelican Bay Golf Club LLC) and, by agreement of the parties, reduced the lien and fine to $5,000, payable within 30 days. The magistrate warned the parties that failure to pay within 30 days would leave the lien and fine unchanged.

The magistrate then called a series of cases (case numbers 2–41). In many cases the respondent was not present; city code inspectors presented photographic evidence and inspection histories. Based on inspector testimony and the exhibits, the magistrate repeatedly found respondents in noncompliance and gave a uniform compliance deadline of Nov. 5, 2025 for most properties, with the standard warning that failure to comply could result in fines up to $1,000 per day thereafter.
