Occupant granted extra time after county finds accumulation of junk remains
Summary
In a nuisance/accumulation case at 4811 NW 234th Ave, county staff found overgrowth abated but that excessive outdoor storage still violated code; occupant William Lloyd asked for extra time and the county agreed to an additional 30 days (90 days total) to come into compliance before fines apply.
In Case 25‑009780, Michael Williams, an Alachua County code officer, told the magistrate that a complaint from Sept. 16, 2025 alleged accumulation of junk and nuisance overgrowth at 4811 NW 234th Avenue. Williams said the property was in compliance for nuisance overgrowth after an inspection but that accumulation of junk and excessive outdoor storage remained a violation; county costs tied to the matter were $280.
William Lloyd, who said he resides at the property and acts as caretaker for his disabled mother, said he had been working to remove items and requested an extra 30 days beyond the county’s 60‑day recommendation to ensure full compliance. Lloyd explained some items had been recently placed on his vehicle for short‑term sorting and said temporary privacy fencing had been used; he also said he runs a small business and has previously worked with county staff.
Williams confirmed prior on‑site meetings and that excessive outdoor storage had been an ongoing issue since August; county staff agreed to grant an additional 30 days for compliance. Magistrate Zinn urged the parties to meet on‑site so the officer could identify the remaining items that must be removed and said the preference was to see the property improved rather than impose fines.
