Summary

The Board waived late-registration fees for two property owners who missed notices—Adrienne Coney (7107 Alexander Ave.) and Ronald Sutton (3335 175th Place)—after explanations about missed notices and bereavement; the board also imposed late fees for a list of 12 other properties.

The Board considered multiple rehearings on late rental and business registrations. Adrienne Coney (speaker 7), owner of 7107 Alexander Avenue, said she did not receive mailed notice and missed a hearing because she was dealing with a bereavement; the board agreed to waive the late fee this time but warned future lateness will be assessed. ‘‘I didn't receive a notice in the mail,’’ Coney said.

Ronald Sutton (speaker 4) told the board his property at 3335 175th Place was vacant after tenants left in March and said previous tenants ‘‘destroyed my house’’ and caused about $10,000 in damage; staff told him he can register now for $5 and that if the property remains vacant after October 1 a $300 vacant-property fee would apply. The board waived the late fee for Sutton as well.

A representative for Rich's Roofing (speaker 11) requested waiver of late fees after confusion about licenses; the board recommended waiving the fees. Separately, the clerk presented 12 properties with late rental registrations; the board recommended applying late fees for those properties and will handle appeals if owners request rehearings.

The board's actions were recorded as recommendations and concurrences in the transcript; no roll-call vote tallies were recorded for these rehearings.
