Most property owners who had active permitting in process received board approval for 56‑day compliance windows or were placed on a pending (Massey) calendar; a smaller group of cases had fines imposed where owners had not advanced required permit applications.

Summary of key outcomes (selected highlights):

- Routine 56‑day compliance orders (owner must come into compliance by March 25, 2025 or face fines): multiple residential and small commercial properties where permitting activity was either in review or recently submitted. Examples: 1315 SW 22nd Terrace (BE 24040142) — 56‑day extension granted; 139 SW 21st Way (BE 2309‑0199) — 56‑day extension granted; 200 S. Birch Rd. #906 (BE 2308‑0198) — 56‑day extension granted; 1227 NW 3rd Ave (BE 2405‑0169) — compliance deadline set (March 25, 2025) with $50/day fine if not met.

- Extensions with fine stoppage: In several cases staff confirmed permits were applied and reviewers recommended pausing fines while the application advanced. Examples: 1301 NW 7th Terrace (BE 23120073) — board stopped fine accrual and approved a 56‑day extension for permit finalization; 1440 SW 30th St. (VE 23080390) — application in review; 56‑day extension and stop fines were approved.

- Massey (administrative return) recommendations: For older cases with minimal new activity the city recommended returning items as a Massey (administrative) matter at a later date; those items remain on the board’s calendar and fines may resume if no progress is shown. Examples include several long‑running commercial files (listed in the hearing record).

- Fines imposed where owners did not pursue permits: The board imposed fines where the city reported no active permit application or lack of progress after repeated notices. Notable: 1312 Northwood 15th Terrace (case VE 23030202) — fines requested by the city and board voted to impose fines (amount recorded in the file); owners may apply for lien amnesty once in compliance.

- High‑profile extension: The long‑running Carlton Tower matter (3000 E. Sunrise Blvd., BE 23080095) received a 175‑day extension after a detailed presentation about FEMA/NFIP appraisal requirements and state sprinkler mandates. (See separate article.)

What this means for property owners and contractors: In most cases, the board favored allowing time for permits and plans to move through the city’s review; many owners were granted 56 days to complete submissions or correct plan review comments. Where no permits were filed or where permit applications were voided for inactivity, the board moved to impose fines or return the case to administrative status.

How to check details: The full transcript and staff case notes for each docket item are maintained by the city’s Code Enforcement office and are the definitive record for motions, recorded votes and fine amounts. Owners whose cases were continued should remain in direct contact with the assigned inspector to confirm the next submittal steps.

Board direction going forward: The board repeatedly encouraged owners to stay in contact with inspectors and to document progress in plan review portals. For cases that returned as Massey, fines may be revisited if no remediation occurs during the next review period.

Sunrise Boulevard.

The association’s president, Robert Dane, told the board the building is an 18‑story condominium that has been negotiating technical requirements with multiple city departments and outside consultants. Dane described repeated delays in obtaining engineering drawings, appraisal documentation and floodplain information and said the association is working with a fire engineer and the fire department on required sprinkler and life‑safety work.

Assistant building official Joe Pasquale told the board that the city’s floodplain and permitting requirements are driven by FEMA audit rules and the National Flood Insurance Program and that those federal requirements can trigger additional documentation — such as an appraisal or elevation certificate — for projects that affect common areas. Pasquale also confirmed the building’s repairs require coordination with the fire department because the state now requires certain sprinkler upgrades for the type of work being done.

Dane said the association has spent money on professional services, including about $18,000 for fire‑safety engineering, and remains stalled by two related issues: a requirement that the work be documented in a way that satisfies FEMA audit rules, and the permitting path (either 40 individual unit permits or a single, larger common‑area permit). He said the association originally tried the single‑permit path as a cost‑saving measure but encountered appraisal hurdles and technical submittal problems.

Board members discussed options with city staff. Pasquale said the city can require individual permits for multiple units (which could avoid the appraisal requirement) or accept a consolidated approach if the required appraisal and floodplain paperwork are supplied. Board members urged the association to coordinate directly with the fire department and with city plan reviewers to clarify outstanding corrections.

After the discussion the board voted to extend the compliance date by 175 days — to July 22, 2025 — to give the association time to complete plans, resolve the appraisal/floodplain questions and coordinate the fire‑safety design. The motion passed with no recorded opposition.

The extension does not eliminate the need to obtain all required permits; the board’s order keeps the case active and requires the association to return if the work is not completed by the new compliance date. Pasquale and other staff told the association to maintain regular contact with city inspectors for progress checks.

The Carlton Tower case was the longest item at the hearing and drew repeated references to federal FEMA audit requirements, the National Flood Insurance Program and the state sprinkler mandates that prompted much of the life‑safety work.

The board and staff emphasized that the extension is intended to enable the association to present a complete package for review; if the association fails to come into compliance by the new date the board may revisit fines or other enforcement options.","The Code Enforcement Board gave the Carlton Tower Condominium Association a 175‑day extension to resolve unpermitted work after a lengthy presentation about FEMA appraisal requirements, floodplain rules and state sprinkler mandates.","actionData","errors"]
