Clearwater board reduces lien for Douglas Avenue property to administrative costs
Loading...
Summary
The board granted a petition to reduce a code‑enforcement lien for 2080 Douglas Avenue to administrative costs of $1,096.20, payable within 30 days, after the property was brought into compliance and the contractor affirmed future work.
The Municipal Code Enforcement Board approved a lien‑reduction request March 25 for a property at 2080 Douglas Avenue, reducing the lien to the city’s administrative costs of $1,096.20. John Liu, a state‑certified building contractor speaking for the owner, told the board the property has been brought into compliance and asked the lien be mitigated to actual costs. City staff confirmed administrative costs of $1,096.20; the board entered an order reducing the lien to that amount payable within 30 days, or the lien will revert to its original amount.
John Liu said he will perform further work as the contractor and that he had a notarized authorization from the owner. The city inspector attested to repairs including a replaced roof and removal of a deteriorating shed. The order preserves the city’s right to re‑establish the full lien amount if the payment is not made within the ordered period.
