Magistrate orders permits or removal: permit deadlines set for pergola, fence and structure cases
Summary
Owners of properties with unpermitted structures, including a pergola and a converted garage, were ordered to obtain permits or remove unpermitted work; magistrate set Aug. 15 or Aug. 16 deadlines for permit issuance and daily fines thereafter.
Magistrate Kleinman found violations in multiple dockets where structures had been installed without required permits and in one case a pergola required removal or a demolition permit. For the property at 5175 SW 87th Avenue the magistrate ordered a $150 administrative fee and gave the owner until Aug. 15 to have permits issued and paid; if permits were not in place by Aug. 16 a $100-per-day fine would begin.
Staff explained the pergola applicant had applied for a permit on June 30 and for a removal permit on July 14, and that follow‑up action from the owner was required. The magistrate repeated the deadlines and fine schedules and said the clerk would mail the order; owners are expected to coordinate with building staff to address any comments so issuance is possible by the stated dates.
