Property owner given 90 days to re-roof after insurance settlement, magistrate warns fines if delayed
Summary
A Greenacres special magistrate granted 90 days for a property owner to complete roof repairs tied to insurance litigation and HOA approvals, with a $50-per-day fine to follow noncompliance.
Special Magistrate Amity Barnard on Feb. 26 gave a property owner 90 days to complete roof repairs after the city submitted photographs and notices showing the roof remained in disrepair.
Jerry Bernal, City of Greenacres code enforcement officer, presented the case for the property at 027 Island Manor Drive, owned by Mushfiqal Choi and Sanjana Rimu (recorded in the file as respondents). Bernal said the property had been the subject of earlier notices and that a compliance date of July 7, 2024, had passed without repair. He told the magistrate the city's file included proof of ownership, affidavits of posting and photographs.
Sanjana Rimu, who appeared and was sworn, told the magistrate the matter had been under insurance litigation and that settlement had been reached. Rimu said the owner needed HOA approval and expected the roof repair to take up to 60 days after approvals. The magistrate reviewed paperwork offered by Rimu and allowed the respondent time to complete the work.
Barnard entered the city's evidentiary file, found a violation of the relevant code section (noted in the record as section 7-4-3 g s), and ordered compliance within 90 days. She instructed Rimu to call the code officer when work was complete so the officer could reinspect the property. Barnard warned that if the work was not completed by the deadline, a $50-per-day fine would begin to accrue.
