Titusville orders C Cube Strip LLC to repair water leak, erosion and collapsed sidewalk; $234.19 costs assessed
Summary
The city ordered C Cube Strip LLC to repair a water supply leak, fix a collapsed sidewalk and erosion at 5155 South Washington Ave., obtain permits, and pay $234.19 in administrative costs; failure to comply by a May 2025 deadline will trigger $100-per-day fines.
A Titusville magistrate on March 10 ordered C Cube Strip LLC to repair a water supply leak that has undermined a sidewalk and eroded a stormwater retention bank at 5155 South Washington Avenue and to obtain any required permits by the compliance deadline.
The order matters because city staff documented a water-supply leak that caused sidewalks to collapse and erosion under a check valve assembly and the retention pond bank; the city assessed administrative costs of $234.19 and warned that a $100-per-day fine will begin if repairs are not completed by the deadline.
City staff testified the initial inspection occurred March 7, 2024, and that no plumbing permits had been pulled to repair the leak. The notice of violation and subsequent certified mail attempts were returned unclaimed; the city posted the notice at the property. Staff recommended the respondent complete water-line repairs, repair the collapsed sidewalk and eroded bank, obtain all required permits, and pay administrative costs of $234.19.
Tuan Lee, the registered agent for C Cube Strip LLC, testified under oath that Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) equipment and vehicle activity had damaged a meter and the sidewalk area; he said he had opened a claim with FPL and had tenant witness statements and photographs. Lee said a main supply meter serving the building remained in service but that an older meter assembly (from when the site was a gas station) was no longer used.
City staff requested that the order require a licensed plumber’s report confirming whether the out-of-service line is disconnected or describing required repairs. The magistrate found violations of city code section 6-109 and International Property Maintenance Code section 505.3 (water supply), granted the city’s requested remedies, and ordered repairs to be completed by May 9, 2025. The city’s written order listed administrative costs of $234.19 and imposed a $100-per-day fine for noncompliance after the deadline.
At the close of the hearing the magistrate additionally referenced May 25, 2025, in the course of speaking to the registered agent; the record therefore contains both May 9 (stated in the order) and a later mention of May 25. Respondent must notify code enforcement for reinspection once repairs and permits are complete.
