A Bay County Code Magistrate Hearing on May 14, 2025, focused on the demolition of a mobile home and accessory structures deemed unsafe and unfit for habitation. The property, located at 3521 East Orlando Road, has been under scrutiny due to ongoing violations, including overgrowth and deteriorating conditions.

During the hearing, it was revealed that the owners, identified as Mr. and Mrs. Boren, requested the demolition of the structures rather than attend the hearing themselves. They expressed their desire for the process to move forward without their presence, which the magistrate acknowledged as a common practice in such cases.

Evidence presented included photographs showing the property's current state, which has not improved since previous inspections. The magistrate confirmed that proper notice had been given to the owners and that they were aware of the proceedings.

The magistrate ruled that the property must be brought into compliance within 30 days. This includes either obtaining a demolition permit to remove the unsafe structures and debris or repairing them to meet safety standards. Additionally, the owners must remove a derelict vehicle still present on the premises.

The next compliance check is scheduled for June 18, 2025, marking a critical deadline for the property owners to address these violations. The outcome of this case highlights ongoing efforts by Bay County to enforce property standards and ensure community safety.
