Cocoa Beach advances update to fire‑code penalties and enforcement methods
The Cocoa Beach City Commission took the first step on Ordinance 1722, which updates the city code's fire prevention chapter to add notice‑of‑violation (NOV) as an enforcement method, correct a chapter reference and add a class‑three violation for failing to comply with written notices, orders or directives from the fire official, including nonpayment of inspection fees after an opportunity to cure.

Fire Chief Justin Grimes was listed as the staff representative for the item and recommended adoption on first reading. The motion to adopt on first reading was moved, seconded and met with affirmative votes from commissioners present.

As a first-reading passage, the ordinance will return for a subsequent reading before it becomes effective and codified.
