It came into compliance on June 1, 2007, when the new owners purchased the home. Fine amount is $11,600. Nelson Silva, property owner, stated they purchased the house on May 31, 2007, through Orange County Courthouse foreclosure. He stated that usually a title takes about 2-3 weeks to get and the judge and lawyers handling the foreclosure process neglected to include the lien that the City had recorded in their disclosure form so he was not aware of the lien on the home. Attorney Sneed stated the lien was recorded with Orange County on December 7, 2006. Member Hopper inquired if Mr. Silva had done a title search since liens do appear during title searches. Mr. Silva stated a title search was done after the property was purchased. Member Hopper further stated this is a usual story with the Code Board; howt?ver, investors know when they purchase property in foreclosure that there are many problems associated with it. He stated it is unfortunate that he was not disclosed the information on the lien prior to purchase, but that is not the fault of the City. His issue should be with the attorney and not the City. Vice Chair Chancey stated he agrees with Mr. Hopper but it is the City's benefit that someone has purchased the home and corrected the situation. Member Stanley inquired if there were other liens and did they pay the other liens. Chairman Godek inquired as to what was the amount he would like the fine reduced too. Mr. Silva stated that is why he is before the board. Member Stanley inquired as to how much time/money the City had put into this case. Officer Loeffler stated it is minimal (paperwork and digital pictures).
