Subject: Code Enforcement Reduction of Fine /Lien for Lourdes I. Rolon- Vazquez & Wilfredo
Vazquez at 1611 Ison Lane, Ocoee FL (District 4 Commissioner Joel Keller)
Background Summary:
This property was cited on February 20, 2009 by Code Officer Edward Loeffler for violation of ordinance 108 -24
D. The property was littered with misc. junk, trash, debris, old appliances, fixtures and furniture. Throughout
the period of non - compliance this department received a constant flow of complaints regarding the observations
listed above. The property had an incomplete white privacy fence which is the subject of an unrelated code
enforcement action. The large incomplete open section of fence was in direct view of several neighbors,
pedestrians and vehicular traffic as this is a corner lot. While portions of the junk and debris remained the same
other portions often changed as the property owners operate a mattress and thrift store. On several occasions,
as code enforcement was present for unrelated permit, fence and thrift store issues, the requirements for
compliance and accruing fines were discussed. Periodic images and supplemental affidavits of non - compliance
were recorded during routine accruing -fine status checks throughout the non - compliance period. On March 24,
2009, the Code Enforcement Board issued an order to comply by April 07, 2009 or be fined $150.00 per day.
On April 28, 2009 the Code Enforcement Board imposed the fine and lien for non - compliance. The location
was routinely checked by Officer Loeffler 14 times October 2009 — January 2012 and documented as non-
compliant with fourteen affidavits. On March 05, 2012 the violation was observed corrected and a affidavit of
compliance was issued. The City spent $1,665.09 on this case.
Issue:
Lourdes I. Rolon Vazquez & Wilfredo Vazquez are requesting the fine /lien amount of $159,300.00 be
eliminated. Lourdes I. Rolon- Vazquez claims that her husband and son were hospitalized and other
family members in college prevented their ability to correct the violation.
Recommendations
The Code Enforcement Board is recommending the fine /lien be reduced to $ 54,765.09, which is the City's cost
of $1,665.09, plus the accrued fine of $53,100.00 ($50.00 per day for each day in violation).
The discussion by the board to reduce the amount was based on testimony from the City and Mrs. Lourdes I.
Rolon- Vazquez. Mr. Wilfredo Vazquez was not present.
