In a recent government meeting, the Broward Sheriff's Office addressed ongoing property violations in Cooper City, Florida, specifically focusing on a case involving a deceased estate. Inspector Michael Giordano reported on the condition of a property located at 9460 Southwest 52 Street, which is registered to the estate of Martin Dorena. The property has been noted for its overgrown state, prompting multiple notices of violation.

Giordano detailed the timeline of inspections, stating that a notice was sent on August 2, 2024, but due to mailing issues, the notice went unacknowledged. A follow-up notice was posted on August 7, yet the property remained unkempt as of the last inspection on August 15. Attempts to contact a niece of the deceased owner have been unsuccessful, with no responses received via email or phone.

The inspector presented date-stamped photographs as evidence of the property's condition, confirming their accuracy. Based on the findings, the meeting concluded with a determination that a violation exists, resulting in a fine of $150 per day, with a total administrative fee of $450 imposed. The property owner has until October 4 to rectify the situation, or the daily fines will continue to accrue until compliance is achieved.
