Heir granted 30 days to address staining and roof issues on probate property in Fort Pierce

Duval (spelled Duval/Duvall in the transcript) Terry appeared as an heir for a probate property that the city cited under IPMC 304.2 for staining and protective-treatment deficiencies. Terry said the house needs roofing and drainage work; Fernandez and other city staff described available grant programs administered by the Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency (FPRA) and the city's grants department that may provide pressure‑washing and paint support if the property is in an eligible district.

Magistrate Jamie Barrow said he was concerned about public health and welfare and extended the city's 15‑day remediation recommendation to 30 days to allow Terry to pursue grant contacts and contractor pricing. Barrow instructed staff to provide FPRA and grants‑department contact information before Terry left the hearing and invited Terry to call code enforcement if extra time or assistance was needed.

The magistrate's order gives the property 30 days to pressure wash and paint or face fines of $100 per day, and Terry was told the city would consider further accommodation if he could demonstrate active progress toward compliance.
