Summary

Following progress checks and staff recommendations at the Jan. 13 hearing, the magistrate issued daily fines for several properties with ongoing violations and amended numerous noncompliance orders, sending many matters to Feb. 10 or March 10 for progress reports or reinspection.

The city presented multiple returning noncompliance cases at the Jan. 13, 2026 special magistrate session; where staff showed no progress the magistrate imposed daily fines and where progress was evident the magistrate amended existing orders to allow more time for remediation.

Notable fines: the magistrate ordered a $250‑per‑day fine (capped at $15,000) for Masonic Lodge No. 36 (case 21) beginning Jan. 13 because the lot remained uncleaned; he entered a similar $250‑per‑day fine for Ola and Victoria Asipchuk (case 22). For some longstanding commercial and residential properties the magistrate authorized higher daily fines: Oregon LLC (case 28) was ordered to pay $500/day (cap $15,000) beginning Jan. 13, 2026; several other property owners were given fines or amended orders with specific daily amounts and caps as reflected in staff recommendations.

Amendments and continuances: when inspectors reported permits had been pulled or active repairs were in progress, the magistrate amended prior noncompliance orders to set new compliance cutoffs (commonly Feb. 4 for compliance or hearings on Feb. 10, or March 4 with hearings on March 10). Properties with active renovation work or pending permits (for example, 594 Belleau Road; Plaza Resort Atlantic Ocean; NDR Pahokee LLC; Sunshine Ventures & Management LLC) were continued for progress checks.

Magistrate Riggio repeatedly directed respondents to coordinate with the assigned inspectors for reinspection and emphasized that inspectors — not the magistrate — make final compliance determinations. He warned that fines would continue to accrue daily until the inspector finds the work complete.
