In a recent code enforcement hearing held by the Village of Wellington, significant discussions centered around property violations and compliance measures. The meeting addressed multiple cases, with a focus on ensuring adherence to local codes and ordinances.

One notable case involved Kenneth V. Frisna, whose property at 14578 Horseshoe Trace was found in violation of several Wellington code sections, including issues related to stained roofs, driveways, and landscaping. Code Compliance Officer D'Angelo Campo reported that despite attempts to communicate with Frisna's family representative, compliance had not been achieved by the stipulated correction date. The hearing concluded with a recommendation for a fine of up to $25 per day for ongoing violations, along with a cease and desist order for five years. A follow-up fine certification hearing is scheduled for October 17, 2024, should compliance not be met.

Desiree Frisna, the personal representative of the estate, addressed the magistrate, expressing her commitment to resolving the violations and requesting leniency due to the rapid progress made in correcting the issues. She highlighted the challenges faced in managing the property during probate and requested a re-inspection to confirm compliance.

Another case discussed involved Linda S. Lussard and Stephan W. Lu, who were found in violation of not having a local business tax receipt. The magistrate ordered the payment of the tax fee along with a $250 penalty and a cease and desist order for five years.

The meeting underscored the village's commitment to maintaining property standards and ensuring compliance through a structured enforcement process. The code compliance division emphasized that the primary goal is not to penalize but to achieve timely compliance with Wellington's codes and ordinances.
