Magistrate orders 30 days for compliance after unpermitted water-heater work at South Ocean Boulevard property
Summary
A Town of Highland Beach special magistrate found 105 A LLC in violation for replacing a hot-water heater without a permit at 3212 South Ocean Boulevard, unit 105 A, and gave 30 days to comply or face fines of up to $250 per day; prosecution costs of $250 were also assessed. A separate case was pulled after a permit was issued Nov. 7, 2025.
A special magistrate for the Town of Highland Beach ordered property owner 105 A LLC to correct an unpermitted hot-water heater installation at 3212 South Ocean Boulevard, unit 105 A, within 30 days or face fines of up to $250 per day, and assessed $250 in prosecution costs. The magistrate set a compliance date of Dec. 12, 2025.
Adam Mosowski, the town’s code compliance officer, testified under oath that he inspected the property on Sept. 15, 2025, after the condo maintenance department notified the building manager and the manager contacted the town. Mosowski said the violation cited on the agenda was “30 Dash 1 22 a” — a hot-water heater changed out without a valid permit — and that he rechecked building records on Nov. 10, 2025, and found the violation still existed. “The violation continues to exist,” Mosowski said.
Mosowski told the magistrate that the permit application for the work was first reviewed the morning of the hearing and had been returned to the applicant with comments. He said the town served notice by certified mail and posted the notice of hearing; the certified-mail green card was returned Nov. 3, 2025. Mosowski said the town was seeking 30 days for compliance or a $250-per-day fine thereafter, and asked the magistrate to assess $250 in prosecution costs.
The magistrate questioned Mosowski about how the town learned of the work and whether 30 days was reasonable. Mosowski said the contractor told him 30 days would be sufficient. The magistrate then announced findings of law and fact, found the property and owner in violation as alleged on the agenda, ordered 30 days to achieve compliance or allow fines to begin, assessed prosecution costs of $250, and set Dec. 12, 2025, as the date by which compliance and payment must be completed.
In a separate matter, Mosowski reported that Case CC25388 was being pulled because the permit for that case had been issued on Nov. 7, 2025. The magistrate acknowledged the compliance report and indicated no further action was necessary on that file.
The hearing record in the provided transcript ends shortly after those items.
