Delray Beach special magistrate orders compliance deadlines, pauses lien accrual in one case after multi‑property hearing

Delray Beach’s special magistrate heard more than a half dozen code‑enforcement cases on Jan. 7, 2026, and issued deadlines, fines, and a temporary pause on lien accrual in a high‑dollar tent case.

The magistrate found that 114 Southwest 9th Ave had undergone bathroom and plumbing work that lacked a required permit and granted the owner 45 days to obtain an approved permit or face fines up to $150 per day. Code Enforcement Officer Reggie Williams introduced four photographs and cited the Florida Building Code (Plumbing, 7th Ed., Section A105.1) and Delray Beach Land Development Regulation 2.4.13(b).

In a separate case involving 200 South Ocean Blvd, Unit B‑133 (Jordan Del Mar condos), Officer Latoya Thompson presented photographs that she said showed demolition of the old dock and installation of a new dock without a permit. Owners and representatives told the magistrate they had discussed the work with property management and believed a permit was unnecessary. Patrick Lyons, a City plan reviewer, testified staff would require a building permit for the scope of work shown in the photos. The magistrate found a violation and ordered 45 days to come into compliance or risk up to $150 per day in fines.
