Case highlights from the docket:

- Case 6040 (Nicole and Richard Lavendera, 10130 SW 50 Ct): The magistrate noted the respondents received a citation related to a moving pod and that Sergeant Mosca (the case officer) was not present. The magistrate offered the respondents the option to pay the citation immediately and close the case; alternatively, because proper appeal paperwork had not been filed, Klein reset the matter to the May docket to allow the case officer to be present. The magistrate said, \"If you just pay the fine... come back with the receipt. We'll close the case.\" The court recorded the reset to May if the respondents do not pay at the clerk's window.

- Case 243192 (Orlando Camacho, 4997 SW 95 Ave): Klein found a violation for a rear fence painted a non-natural color and imposed a $50-per-day fine, giving the respondent until March 17 to comply.

- Case 242939 (Claude and Jessica Fillard, 4943 SW 95 Ave): Inspector testimony indicated the owner is working with the inspector and painting was in progress; the magistrate continued the matter to the May docket for follow-up.

- Case 243428 (4 9 8 1 SW 95 Avenue LLC, 4981 SW 95 Ave): The magistrate found the rear wooden fence in disrepair and ordered compliance by March 24. If not cured by that date the magistrate ordered a $50-per-day fine and a $150 administrative fee payable in 30 days.

- Case 5875 (Kosher Homes 5110 Cooper City LLC, 5110 SW 101 Ave): Notice was achieved and the fine had not been paid or appealed; the magistrate certified a $100 fine and additionally ordered the $150 administrative fee be applied.

- Case 5923 (Barcerone Brumayer, 4977 SW 94th Terrace): The magistrate certified a $100 fine for parking on the front lawn; notice was achieved and no appeal was filed.

- Case 242938 (BMS Cooper City LLC Care Department, 9495 Sheridan St): Inspector Reale reported the property was not in compliance on follow-up; the magistrate certified the prior order and administrative fee.

- Cases closed as paid on the record: Case 5842 (Rebecca Alsace and Joseph Miller, paid 02/28) and Case 65856 (Marlon E. Tozzo, paid that day); magistrate closed those dockets.

Klein concluded the code-enforcement docket and announced the building-department violation docket would begin at 9:45 a.m.

The magistrate frequently reiterated procedural requirements: an appeal must be filed to secure a full hearing, the clerk can accept payment to close a certified citation immediately, and certified fines that remain unpaid may be recorded and become liens against property under Florida enforcement procedures.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Cooper City - Special Magistrate Code Enforcement - Mar 05, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Magistrate Scott Klein certified fines, set compliance dates and continued several cases during the March 5 special magistrate docket, including certified fines for overgrowth and parking-on-lawn violations and continuances for fence repairs.","taxTitle","Cooper City, Broward County, Florida","taxId",45148,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6650972,"Magistrate reduces business-tax delinquency order for Shops of Cooper City tenant to $405",235,491000,726000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2501538-f06b9cc14faf36aa57e398c9cb2aa935&start=491&end=726","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2501538-f06b9cc14faf36aa57e398c9cb2aa935/thumbnail_491000.jpg","/articles/6650972/Cooper-City/Broward-County/Florida/Magistrate-reduces-business-tax-delinquency-order-for-Shops-of-Cooper-City-tenant-to-405","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6650972-a8c4c0d9f28855d696f998dedc7f4a3c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176097&Signature=EPWY0lAzsMsLB1rzN-Rq0kS0vRFnp~94v042OHNxWbyHD4RYsM~WY1xJB07vGC-cHRRw1FEfa~d3~EXk-VAIQMFUP1DYxDaxq0ZaEuvAxTRAAhmi5drHzT0IWPKrK5KZ63WIHC11FKhU58UGxj6JNSCCqU0vybcfI4wEJcnIsFZOyAUmsOqmTpWgxmH9R6Niq3CzxoBd4kuxkiRH~rjwtMi2lGUi0ssEndnwZMQqm7x13safj~ZPuR7sUWJ6rpDpH3fAlqz6UBWBYxCtKYC-15R2rq-fl1rNtulK2iV5CaD9ZOER5-sYCdYyhfp5IqHop~78BFAurU~HTU4ysEUY3Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Special Magistrate Scott Klein on March 5 amended a prior order in a business-tax delinquency case involving Shops of Cooper City and reduced the assessed civil penalty for the tenant at 12161 Sheridan Street to $405.

The respondent, identified in the record as Omer Ahmed, told the magistrate he had applied for a reduction of the fine and that the property manager for the shopping center was Michael Cavalli. Inspector testimony indicated the center owner is ultimately responsible for the tax status of the property but that tenant responsibility under lease terms could apply.

Klein said he would \"enter an amended order reducing the fine to $15 a day, which will afford you basically about a 95% reduction\" and later confirmed the amended total: \"So we're gonna reduce this to $405. You'll get an order in the mail and you'll have 30 days in which to pay it.\" The magistrate added that if the fine is not paid within 30 days it will be certified without further hearing.

The inspector reported the violation lasted 27 days and city staff confirmed the matter was in compliance as of February 2025. The magistrate gave the respondent the option to pay immediately at the clerk's window; staff instructed the respondent to return the paid receipt to the magistrate's clerk to close the file on the docket.

Klein placed the reduced amount and the 30-day payment deadline on the record; the magistrate ordered that, if unpaid after 30 days, the fine will be certified as provided under city procedure.","The magistrate amended a certification to reduce a delinquent business-tax fine relating to 12161 Sheridan Street to $405, gave the respondent 30 days to pay and said the fine will be certified if unpaid.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6650975,"Cooper City magistrate orders homeowner to remove swale pavers; city may abate if not fixed",426,1130000,1556000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2501538-f06b9cc14faf36aa57e398c9cb2aa935&start=1130&end=1556","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2501538-f06b9cc14faf36aa57e398c9cb2aa935/thumbnail_1130000.jpg","/articles/6650975/Cooper-City/Broward-County/Florida/Cooper-City-magistrate-orders-homeowner-to-remove-swale-pavers-city-may-abate-if-not-fixed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6650975-1cc18abb74b8836e9f9b46f555e2f8cd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176097&Signature=dr9cA8YoMD2UC8mX5saXtvdtMFkgEOW3ivXhtpFiItTuiymUbkRtJMpb190L3y0W-~nhxCSY5msCVVCs0kfkEAkcVKLTkvwEAJch3CpnZTMuwaiTjSf-LuoaVrbfZ1P8kelk39opbQAyyvR45KrxblifM2Wxmjm68KiDcdAtfxriP0XhSuNb~fa~2Wu0mGbrBPyUSeV2jsxRQ-SXU88gASZxXNzfxIkz2AMSAy7mT2yxGCDqzUc6M8inpNJM9~5ME1-nfXZs4yn8qrrTp~2F7sKuQWkvMwQ7jPv1R7tj0th2L~h22QT6Jell-kC4Xvd0bxCbvjXhJs6-scNoi5ursw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Special Magistrate Scott Klein found a code violation March 5 against the owner of 8680 Southwest 57th Street for installing pavers and planters in the public swale and ordered the property owner to restore the swale by March 24.

Klein said the work in the swale affects drainage and poses potential hazards for pedestrians and bicyclists and therefore granted the city the option to perform any corrective work and assess the costs to the owner if the violation is not cured. \"I'm further ordering that the city shall have the option and right to take those actions reasonably necessary to cause the violation to be brought into compliance and that the cost incurred by the city, shall be passed on as an additional fine to [the owner],\" Klein said. He also said he made \"a specific finding that there is a health safety welfare issue\" created by the conditions.

Inspector Michael Giordano of the Broward Sheriff's Office in Cooper City testified that city staff first inspected the property on Nov. 6, 2024, and that pavers, concrete planters and landscaping features had been placed in the swale, which is city property. Courtesy notice and subsequent notices were mailed; inspections in December and January showed partial removal but not full compliance. Photographs shown to the magistrate documented the garden and pavers in the swale and the recent work Giordano said the owner had begun.

The magistrate acknowledged the respondent had started removing some material but concluded the front-of-house swale remained substantially noncompliant. Klein set a final compliance date of March 24. He said that if the owner does not cure the violation by that date, the magistrate's order will impose a civil fine of $100 per day and a $150 administrative fee, payable within 30 days, and the city may enter the property to remediate and assess the resulting costs as an additional fine.

The magistrate also explained why the city seeks the remediation option: changes to the swale can alter grading or drainage and could send runoff onto neighboring properties or public walkways, creating safety and drainage problems. The owner had removed some pavers and told staff he had ordered materials to complete the work, but as of the March 5 hearing the work remained incomplete.

Klein closed the matter with the compliance deadline and the abatement authority on the record.","Special Magistrate Scott Klein found a violation at 8680 SW 57th Street for swale landscaping alterations, ordered compliance by March 24 and gave the city authority to correct the condition and bill the owner if it is not fixed.","actionData","errors"]
