Special Magistrate gives Space Shuttle Renovations trailers until Aug. 6 to remove unpermitted shipping containers
Summary
Space Shuttle Renovations LLC told the magistrate shipping containers used as material storage were on two parcels while the company pursues building permits; the magistrate ordered removal of the unpermitted trailers by Aug. 6 or face fines up to $1,000 per day.
The Special Magistrate ordered Space Shuttle Renovations LLC to remove unpermitted shipping containers (Connex trailers) from two parcels or provide a permit pathway, and set an extended compliance date of Aug. 6, 2025, after hearing that the companys principal had a medical emergency that delayed work.
Why it matters: Unpermitted accessory structures and on‑site storage create visible code and public‑safety issues; the magistrate gave a specific extended deadline but declined to grant the yearlong accommodation the respondent requested.
Respondent representative Kimberly Perez said the company had applied for building permits to build six condos and that construction materials were stored in shipping containers when the principal became ill. Perez said applications are on file but the owners unexpected medical emergency and family obligations slowed progress. The magistrate noted the trailers must be relocated and granted additional time, saying, “Ill give you till August 6 to figure it out.” The magistrate added the trailers can be returned when the owner is ready to commence work on a permitted project.
Clarifying details: The city opened the case in 2024; the magistrate noted trailers are on both parcels and that a trailer must be emptied before a removal truck can relocate it due to weight. The magistrate set Aug. 6, 2025, as the final compliance date and said failure to comply could result in fines of up to $1,000 per day thereafter.
Ending: The magistrate advised the respondent to find legal storage for the trailers or present building permits and warned that indefinite on‑lot storage was not acceptable; the case will return if compliance is not achieved by Aug. 6.
