Several respondents said they were working with contractors or insurance companies; in some cases the city noted no permit application appeared in the city system. The magistrate repeatedly ordered owners to contact the assigned code compliance inspector to verify compliance after repairs or permits were completed and said written orders would be mailed to respondents.
The magistrate also admitted evidence files and PowerPoint exhibits for each case and confirmed statutory procedures for notice of hearing were followed. The dangerous-dog matter at 1753 Mayhill Street was handled separately and resulted in a declaration that two dogs are dangerous; that ruling and its conditions are reported in a dedicated article.
