The Seminole County Code Enforcement Board on Aug. 28 voted to impose liens for multiple continuing violations at 2054 Sipes Avenue after staff presented photographic histories and inspection timelines documenting recurring noncompliance.

Code Enforcement Officer Shannon Henson (North Region) presented three companion lien cases involving respondents Mabel Hill, Harry Hill, Bernice McKenna Ayer and Cheryl M. Hardy. Henson summarized prior inspections dating to Sept. 2024, noted a code board order issued June 8, 2025, and said follow-up inspections ran through Aug. 27, 2025.

Staff recommended lien amounts based on days of noncompliance and the applicable per-day rates in the county code. The board approved staff recommendations as presented in each matter:
- Uncultivated vegetation (Seminole County Code ch. 95, §95.4 as defined in 95.3(b)): staff requested a lien of $5,600 for 112 days of noncompliance (May 8–Aug. 27, 2025) with accrual at $50 per day thereafter.
- Rubbish (Seminole County Code ch. 95, §95.4 as defined in 95.3(a)): staff requested a lien of $11,200 for 112 days of noncompliance (May 8–Aug. 27, 2025) with accrual at $100 per day thereafter.
- Remains of a structure/rubble (Seminole County Code ch. 95, §95.4 as defined in 95.3(c)): staff requested a lien of $8,100 for 81 days of noncompliance (June 8–Aug. 27, 2025) with accrual at $100 per day thereafter.

Board members asked whether anyone still resided at the property; staff said the property had occupants and had not been condemned. The board moved and seconded the staff recommendations and approved the liens in each case. The orders require respondents to contact the code officer to verify compliance; daily fines continue to accrue until compliance is achieved or further action is taken.

The board recorded the approved liens as administrative enforcement measures based on the findings of fact and conclusions of law in staff materials presented at the hearing.
