Code Enforcement Board reduces lien to $5,000 for 615 North Street
Summary
The Daytona Beach Code Enforcement Board voted Feb. 13 to reduce a previously levied fine for 615 North Street to $5,000, payable in 30 days; the property remains subject to further enforcement if payment is not made.
The Daytona Beach Code Enforcement Board on Feb. 13 approved staff’s recommendation to reduce a monetary penalty for 615 North Street to $5,000, payable in 30 days. Inspector Danny Garcia of the city’s code compliance division told the board that staff recommended lowering the fine after the owner brought the property into partial compliance. “Staff’s recommending to reduce the fine down to $5,000,” Garcia said.
The board’s chair called the motion and the board voted to accept the recommendation. The motion was made by Miss Scribe and seconded by Mr. Harrington; the board recorded the motion as carried. The board’s action keeps the original fine amount in reserve if the reduced payment is not made within 30 days.
Why it matters: The board’s decision changes the immediate financial obligation for the property owner while preserving the city’s ability to restore the original assessment if the payment deadline is missed.
Background and next steps: Garcia traced the case history in public remarks: the property had been the subject of repeated notices and reinspections dating back to late 2023; staff reported the most recent inspection found the property substantially improved. The board set the 30-day payment deadline and instructed staff to return the matter to the board if the owner fails to pay.
What the board recorded: The motion to accept the city’s recommendation was moved by Miss Scribe and seconded by Mr. Harrington; members voted to carry the motion. The order reduces the assessed lien to $5,000, payable in 30 days, after which the prior assessment may be reinstated if the reduced payment is not received.
Reporting note: The board debated the matter during the lien review portion of the agenda; the record contains staff’s recommendation and the board vote.
