Code board orders Twitty Properties to clean or repair roof; gives deadline and warns of fines
The Town of Lake Clarke Shores Code Enforcement Board found Twitty Properties LLC in violation in case number 25-0676 and ordered the property to be brought into compliance by Dec. 4, 2025, or face fines.

Code enforcement officer Eric Rich Wagon presented photographs showing plant growth on the roof, debris and what he described as visible damage. Wagon said he spoke with the owner, who asked for a 30-to-60-day extension because she has an insurance claim and believes the roof may need full replacement; Wagon told the board the owner had not provided an update after the notice of hearing was posted.

The board voted to find Twitty Properties in violation of section 34-19-9(c) of the Town Code of Ordinances, ordering compliance by Dec. 4, 2025. The motion included a potential fine of up to $25 per day and provision for a fine-assessment hearing on Dec. 4 if necessary. Several board members noted the condition could be more than dirt — they observed structural damage and an unsecured second-floor door that opens onto the roof without a railing — and directed staff to consider whether a separate citation for repair would be appropriate at a later time.

Wagon told the board the property had two prior violations: a driveway-related violation in 2023 and the current roof matter in 2025. Board members discussed that insurance claims can take time but emphasized the town cannot wait indefinitely if a dangerous condition exists. Wagon said he would consult with the building official and provide the board with an update at the next meeting.

The motion passed by voice vote. The board asked staff to request the owner’s presence and documentation of insurance or contractor activity at the Dec. 4 meeting and to investigate additional code sections that might apply if repairs — rather than cleaning — are required.
