Special magistrate issues compliance orders and fines in brief Sept. 23 hearing

The special magistrate convened a brief session to consider two code-enforcement matters and issued orders in both cases.

For 411 Flagler Avenue, the magistrate found unpermitted interior and exterior work and imposed a $100-per-day fine effective Sept. 23, 2026, until required permits are obtained. For the shopping center at 1998 State Road 44, the magistrate ordered the property to come into compliance by 1 p.m. on Oct. 16, 2026, and warned of $40-per-day fines per violation if conditions are not corrected; that matter returns to the magistrate on Oct. 28 for review and potential fine imposition.

Both items were presented by code compliance staff with photographic evidence and permit-system notes; the contractor for the Flagler Avenue property said a resubmittal was made and that zoning approval had been issued but engineering and building review remained pending. No staff reports followed the two items, and the magistrate adjourned the meeting.
