Board waives lien for 724 Colfax Drive after new management corrects violations
Summary
Daytona Beach staff recommended and the Code Enforcement Board approved waiving a lien on a rental property at 724 Colfax Drive after new property management corrected violations and obtained permits; board voted to reduce the lien to zero.
The Daytona Beach Code Enforcement Board on Feb. 13 accepted staff’s recommendation to reduce a lien to zero for 724 Colfax Drive after new property management remedied code violations and obtained necessary permits. The city’s inspector told the board the owner was overseas and that a newly hired property manager had completed the work and secured required permits and inspections.
“Staff's recommendation is gonna be to waive the entire fine amount,” the city's representative said during the hearing. Blue Palm Property Management representative Steve Cooney told the board he had been retained to manage the property and had coordinated with inspectors to bring the site into compliance.
The board voted to accept staff’s recommendation. The motion to reduce the lien to $0 was made by Mr. Gonzales and seconded by Mr. Harrington; the board recorded the motion as carried.
Why it matters: The board's decision relieves the property of a monetary lien, reflecting staff's finding that conditions were corrected and that further penalties were unnecessary given the owner's circumstances and remediation steps taken by new management.
Context and next steps: Staff said the owner had been unaware of the violations because he was overseas and in the military; new management secured required surveys and permits, passed inspections and requested full waiver. The board directed staff to document the compliance and update records to remove the lien.
