Fort Pierce special magistrate orders repairs, fines and abatement steps across dozens of code-enforcement cases
Summary
A special magistrate found multiple properties in Fort Pierce out of compliance with city codes on Sept. 16, ordering repairs, time-limited compliance and daily fines for continued violations; several lot-clearing and nuisance orders gave owners seven days to comply.
Special Magistrate Heather De Bevec of the City of Fort Pierce on Sept. 16 found multiple properties in violation of local codes and issued orders ranging from short repair deadlines to city abatement and daily fines.
The hearing covered dozens of enforcement items, including parking citations, sign maintenance, vacant-building board-ups and numerous lot‑clearing and nuisance cases. Magistrate De Bevec ordered timelines for compliance (commonly seven or 30 days) and warned that failure to meet deadlines would trigger daily fines or city abatement actions assessed to property owners.
Why this matters: These routine enforcement hearings direct property owners to correct public‑safety and neighborhood‑maintenance problems and establish the city’s authority to abate nuisances and recover costs if owners do not act.
