Respondent admits Eaton Street violations; magistrate sets Dec. 1 compliance date

AJ Davila, appearing for the respondent in the Eaton Street Land Trust matter, elected not to contest two code counts (sections referenced as 14‑37 and 14‑40) and the magistrate treated that as an admission. City director Chris Council asked for a finding and for administrative costs; the magistrate accepted the admission and set a compliance deadline.

The magistrate ordered an administrative cost (announced in court as $2.50) and set a compliance date of Dec. 1, 2026, at noon. He said per‑day fines would apply if the respondent failed to comply by that date and allowed city counsel to accept notices of appeal if filed. Respondent counsel asked for a more realistic timeline given pending planning and potential Board of Adjustment and HARC processes; the magistrate said he would entertain a motion to continue the compliance date if substantial progress was shown.
