Summary
Bay County found an unfit single‑wide mobile home on Lot D at 2628 Loria Avenue; the mobile homeowner obtained a demolition permit that later expired and was given 30 days to obtain a new permit or submit repair plans; a compliance hearing is set for Nov. 19, 2025.
The special magistrate found the mobile home on Lot D at 2628 Loria Avenue (Panama City Beach area) to be unfit and unsafe and ordered the mobile homeowner and/or respondent to obtain a demolition permit and remove the unit or submit full building permit documents and an action plan for repairs within 30 days.
Inspector Scott Thorpe and code enforcement staff introduced an inspection history dating to November 2024 and photographs showing severe roof and siding separation, a patched metal roof over portions of the unit, exposed interior sheathing and spliced porch supports that would not meet Florida Building Code continuous load‑path requirements. Staff noted that a demolition permit was obtained in March 2025 but expired in September 2025; the mobile homeowner, Paulina Lopez, said she had attempted to arrange tear‑down help that did not materialize.
The magistrate ordered the homeowner (mobile homeowner) and/or respondent to secure demolition permits or submit manufacturer specifications or engineering plans and a detailed action plan; all work must be inspected and permits finalized to be considered complete. If the respondent fails to comply within 30 days, the magistrate said a $500 fine will be imposed and will become a lien and personal judgment as it relates to the mobile homeowner. The case was scheduled for compliance on Nov. 19, 2025, at 1:00 p.m.
