Bluford Avenue ▪ Ocoee, Florida 34761 Phone: (407) 905-3100 ▪ www.ocoee.org STAFF REPORT Meeting Date: July 21, 2026 Item #: 10 Contact Name: Vincent Ogburn Department Director: Vincent Ogburn Contact Number: Ext. 3038 City Manager: Craig Shadrix Subject: Approval of Demolition of 611 N. Lakewood Ave. (Police Chief Ogburn) Background Summary: The property located at 611 N. Lakewood Avenue, owned by Rental Home Holdings LLC, has been the subject of ongoing code enforcement proceedings regarding unsafe structural conditions and the accumulation of junk and debris. The violations were cited pursuant to Section 108-35 of the City Code, which addresses nuisance conditions or hazards impacting structures to the extent that repair, removal, securing, or demolition is necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare. On June 24, 2025, the Code Enforcement Board heard Case No. 2025-01222 regarding the unsafe structure and associated debris conditions at the property. During the hearing, Code Enforcement Officer Rodriguez advised the Board that the property remained noncompliant and requested an Order of Compliance requiring corrective action by August 23, 2025, or the imposition of a $100.00 per-day-per-violation fine thereafter. Additionally, the City indicated that if the property became vacant and remained non-compliant, it could proceed with abatement by demolition. At that hearing, the owner’s representative, real estate broker Eric Spivey, informed the Board that contractors had been hired to address the violations and requested additional time to bring the property into compliance. Following the discussion, the Code Enforcement Board unanimously found the property in violation as of April 23, 2025, ordered compliance by August 23, 2025, imposed daily fines for continued noncompliance, and authorized the City to abate the property and assess the associated costs if it became vacant. The property was subsequently brought back before the Code Enforcement Board on March 19, 2026. During that hearing, Code Enforcement Officer Loeffler advised the Board that the property remained non-compliant and continued to be an unsafe structure, with junk and debris littering the site. The Code Board and Staff are requesting authorization from the Commission to demolish the structure due to ongoing unsafe conditions and the property owner's failure to achieve compliance. Following presentation of the case, the Code Enforcement Board unanimously approved a motion finding the property located at 611 N. Lakewood Avenue, Ocoee, Florida, to be in violation and authorizing the City to abate the property through demolition, with the costs of abatement to be assessed against the property. Staff is seeking authorization to demolish the structure at 611 N. Lakewood Avenue, Ocoee, FL 34761. The cost of the demolition and the asbestos survey is expected to be less than $20,000. The property has remained in substantial non-compliance despite prior orders, extensions, and opportunities provided to the owner to correct the violations. The continued existence of the unsafe structure and associated debris presents an ongoing threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the surrounding community. City of Ocoee ▪ 1 N. Bluford Avenue ▪ Ocoee, Florida 34761 Phone: (407) 905-3100 ▪ www.ocoee.org Issue: Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commission authorize the city to proceed with the demolition and abatement of the unsafe structure located at 611 N.
