408 North Haines Street found corrected before hearing; $200 court costs awarded
Summary
A Pensacola property at 408 North Haines Street was found not presently in violation after the owner corrected sanitation-service issues before the hearing; the magistrate ordered $200 in court costs because compliance missed the original notice date.
Special Magistrate Matthew Hargraves found that the property at 408 North Haines Street (Case No. 25-1328) was not presently in violation because the owner corrected sanitation-service deficiencies before the hearing, but he ordered $200 in court costs because the property was not brought into compliance by the notice date.
Tom Lucia, identified in the record as a code enforcement specialist, testified the case opened Feb. 28, 2025, after a sanitation department complaint and that certified mail was sent and postings were made. Lucia told the authority the CIS sanitation account was active and had been paid; the transcript states the property was corrected on March 31, 2025, before the hearing.
Hargraves said he "find[s] that the property is not presently in violation and that it was brought into compliance prior to the hearing date," but he also found the property "was not brought into compliance by the notification period" and awarded $200 in court costs to the city. The hearing record names Cassandra Owens as the property owner; an owner presence or additional testimony beyond the city officer is not detailed in the transcript.
No daily fines were ordered to commence because the violation had been corrected before the hearing date.
