Pensacola Code Enforcement orders fines, grants continuance and approves one dismissal
Summary
At its Feb. 3 hearing the Code Enforcement Authority ordered daily fines to start for two properties, continued one case to May 5 to allow repairs by a mortgage holder and approved dismissal of a third after reinspection; court costs were assessed in two matters.
The Pensacola Code Enforcement Authority met Feb. 3, 2026, in City Council Chambers and issued orders affecting four properties, including two fine commencements, one continuance for repairs and one dismissal after compliance.
Officer Ron Dalton told the panel the property at 3324 Marcus Drive was found in violation on Jan. 20 for “excessive growth of weeds and maintenance of right of way” but had been reinspected and corrected; the Hearing Officer approved an order documenting compliance while noting that the $200 in court costs remain due.
Officer Ron Boughton presented photos in the case involving 683 Chadwick Street, showing vehicles with flat tires and expired tags. The Hearing Officer found there had been no compliance by Feb. 2 and ordered the $25-per-day fine to commence Feb. 3, 2026, in addition to administrative charges and court costs already assessed in the prior order.
Kevin Smith, a City of Pensacola code enforcement officer, asked the Authority to continue a case involving 7645 Woodstream Drive to May 5, 2026, after the mortgage holder (identified in the hearing as AAMG FC Properties LLC) obtained an order to secure and repair the property; Smith said the mortgage holder’s attorney told staff repairs would be made. The continuance was granted; the Authority noted fines will be assessed if the property is not in compliance by the continuance hearing.
In a separate matter on the 2100 block of Airport Boulevard, Smith presented a series of photographs and certified notices that, he said, showed loose litter and debris in a wooded parcel and evidence that owners had not responded to certified mail. Citing the testimony and composite exhibit of photographs, the Hearing Officer found violations of the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC 308.1) and municipal ordinance 11-4-72, ordered the property brought into compliance by Feb. 16, 2026, assessed $200 in court costs to be paid within 30 days, and ordered a $25-per-day fine to begin Feb. 17, 2026 if the violations are not corrected.
There was no unfinished or new business reported, and the Hearing Officer adjourned the session.
What’s next: the Woodstream Drive matter is continued to May 5, 2026; the Airport Boulevard parcel must be in compliance by Feb. 16 to avoid daily fines beginning Feb. 17. Court costs are due within 30 days in the matters where the Hearing Officer assessed them.
