Magistrate gives 60 days for site‑plan and exterior repairs at commercial property on Port St. Lucie Boulevard

Officer Williams presented photographs and a site plan for 207 Southwest Port St. Lucie Boulevard and detailed numerous code violations, including peeling façade and monument signage, window coverings that exceed permitted coverage, faded and missing parking‑lot striping, a missing corral door at the recycling area (open storage), hard‑water staining on barrier walls, and the absence of a stop sign/stop bar required by the site plan.

Officer Williams told the magistrate that none of the listed violations requires a building permit to correct and that many of the conditions (signage, striping, corral door) are straightforward maintenance tasks. He noted the matter had been pending since June 2025 and that the visual conditions have persisted.

Neil Patel, who identified himself for the record, said his father owns the property and that they recently completed a major landscaping project and repairs that cost about $60,000. Patel said some damage (including corral doors) was caused by another party he referred to as “FCC” and that he was awaiting reimbursement, but the city’s position was that repairs should proceed and any reimbursement should be pursued civilly. "We spent, like, 60,000 in repairs right before the first case... Doesn't mean I'm not doing it," Patel said.

Magistrate Davis expressed concern that the case had been active since summer 2025 and set a compliance deadline of May 15, 2026 (close of business) — a roughly 60‑day window — for the respondent to correct the listed site‑plan and exterior issues. The magistrate warned the city could re‑notice the case for further proceedings if compliance is not achieved by that date.

The order focuses on the local code corrections and site‑plan items the city documented; no specific fine amount was imposed at the March 11 hearing so long as the respondent meets the compliance deadline.
