Owner of Mason–Seabreeze gas station given 60 days to fix pumps, canopy and frontage or face fines

Hamid Gennard, manager and member of 848 Beach LLC, told the special magistrate that the property’s roof and fascia work has been done but that other violations remain, including broken glass, a dilapidated canopy and inoperable fuel dispensers at the gas station on the corner of Mason and Seabreeze Bridge.

Inspectors told the court that the site showed trash, peeling paint, broken windows and fuel‑island equipment in poor condition. The magistrate said the property has been in disrepair for an extended period and ordered the owner to produce a plan and bring the property into full compliance by June 3, 2026. The magistrate left technical choices about the pumps to the owner and the city — repair, replacement or removal and capping are possible paths — but required the property be presented in a “100 percent presentable” condition within the 60‑day window.

"I'm going to require you to be in compliance. Full compliance by June 3, 2026, or be returned to the special magistrate for consideration of a fine of up to $1,000 per day thereafter," the magistrate said.

Gennard told the magistrate he expects to replace glass, repair the canopy and hire contractors to address other items within 60 days; he said replacing fuel pumps may happen when the business reopens and that removal of inoperable pumps is an option if necessary. Inspectors encouraged interim measures such as boarding or securing inoperable equipment but noted that simply boarding pumps may not constitute compliance depending on the long‑term solution.

The magistrate scheduled a follow‑up reinspection and reiterated that fines may be imposed from the date set in the order if work is not completed. The city and owner were directed to coordinate on the technical steps needed to render the fuel islands safe and either operational or properly decommissioned.
