Pembroke Park magistrate partially abates fees, confirms compliance for multiple Warehouse 1800 bay cases

Pembroke Park’s special magistrate on July 16 approved mitigation and confirmed compliance in several cases tied to Warehouse 1800 at 2401 John P Lyons Lane, reducing one consolidated fine to $2,562.50 and closing others as complied.

Code compliance officer Jeffrey Lewis told the hearing that case 8825 had accrued $15,950 in fines; the town recommended an 85% mitigation because the owner brought the cited bay into compliance. The special master accepted the recommendation and mitigated the fines to $2,562.50, which includes administrative costs.

Tia Benson and Amanda Rainbo, speaking for the respondent, submitted documentation and disputed some interim calculation points about extensions and inspection dates; the magistrate reviewed the case history and the record. The magistrate granted a payment extension: the reduced amount must be paid within 120 days, with a warning that the original total would resume if the reduced payment is not made.

Other Warehouse 1800 matters heard that day included cases where compliance was confirmed (case 8826 for Bays 19–22) and one case where the town agreed to adjust a compliance date by 30 days because of a short timing discrepancy; administrative costs from earlier final orders may remain due. The magistrate noted remaining administrative fees where applicable and instructed respondents to check with town staff on any unpaid administrative charges.

The hearing record included emails and printouts the respondents offered as defense exhibits; the magistrate admitted the documents for the record and resolved the mitigation based on the town’s calculation of the accrual period and the documented compliance date.

The magistrate’s orders require payment of mitigated amounts by the stated deadlines or risk reinstatement of the original accruals.
