Manager says contractor will pull permit for unpermitted AC unit; magistrate gives 30 days

Alachua County presented a case alleging the installation of an air‑conditioning unit without permits on a multi‑unit property in Gainesville (parcel 06819-020-093). Code officer Michael Williams said the complaint came from a citizen and that an initial notice set an August compliance date; the county requested a 30‑day compliance period and a $100‑per‑day fine if the respondent failed to obtain permits. County costs of $140 were reported.

Randolph Amaya, the local manager appearing for Gables 2017 Holdings LLC, told the hearing the local manager hired a contractor who had assured them the permits would be handled but later discovered the contractor was unlicensed; he said they would pull the permit and expected it in about a week, adding "30 days is enough." The magistrate accepted a 30‑day compliance period.
