Officials from Malbury’s building department and code enforcement presented their annual summaries to the commission on Aug. 18, detailing permit and enforcement activity for the past year.
Code enforcement reported 122 cases with 63 referred to the magistrate. Staff explained the enforcement process and emphasized due process protections for property owners. Building staff said the city issued 314 permits this year, with mechanical/electrical/plumbing (MEP) permits making up roughly 27 percent of that total and 92 inspections conducted; private providers performed about 24 percent of inspection work and the fire marshal conducted a small share.
Staff cited applicable Florida statutes governing private providers and code enforcement and noted the department’s use of a county damage-assessment program used after storms. Building official Brian Wells was referenced by staff as overseeing inspection coordination with private providers. The commission and staff discussed how private providers and code procedures interact with local permitting and post‑disaster reporting processes.
