During a recent government meeting, city inspectors presented multiple cases of property violations, primarily concerning the unauthorized use of properties as vacation rentals without the necessary compliance certificates.

In one notable case, a property inspected on September 30, 2024, was found to be operating as a vacation rental without the required certification. Following additional inspections, including one on October 14, 2024, it was confirmed that the advertisement for the rental had been removed. The city requested a formal finding that the violation had occurred, but no fines were imposed for future infractions.

Another case involved a property owned by Maya and Alexi Bicob, which was similarly found to be operating as a vacation rental without compliance. The city again sought a finding of fact regarding the violation, which was granted.

The meeting also addressed cases with significant accrued fines. For instance, a property owned by New Global Holdings Inc. had accumulated $3,200 in fines due to non-compliance with city regulations, with the city requesting the full amount. Similarly, the Southeastern Conference Association of 7th Day Adventist Inc. faced fines totaling $8,800 for ongoing violations, with the city seeking the full payment and noting that fines would continue to accrue.

In another case, a property owned by 510 Southeast 9th Street, LLC, had complied with some sections, leading the city to request no fines. Conversely, a property owned by ML New River Village 3 LLC accrued $3,300 in fines, with the city requesting the full amount.

The meeting underscored the city's commitment to enforcing compliance with property regulations, particularly regarding vacation rentals, and highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by property owners in adhering to city codes.
