Vice-Mayor Castro noted we need .to do a better job of communicating.

The Division's activity is currently in its final phase, which is focused on Meadowbrook Lakes Condominiums South. The initiative started when Code Compliance responded to a written complaint on work being done without permits on several units. The offending party then pointed out a number of other properties that had done work without permits and Code Compliance was obliged to follow up on those complaints. In the spirit of fairness and to remove any perception of selective enforcement, it was the Code Compliance Manager's decision to inspect each unit in all buildings for work that had been done relating to windows, doors, patio enclosures and shutters. This resulted in a large number of Notices of Violation for work done without permit, some of which posed serious property and/or life safety issues. Since this issue began Code Compliance has worked hard to keep the level of communication high through contact with the building association presidents. Both the Code Compliance and Building Divisions have made every effort to ensure that the permit and regulatory costs were kept to a minimum. While individual circumstances vary, as a rule there have been no penalties (such as double permit fees), and time extensions have been routinely granted. City's Approach to Achieving Compliance The violations being addressed at Meadowbrook Condominiums are primarily related to the Florida Building Code, or in the case of longer standing violations, the South Florida Building Code. These codes establish minimum standards primarily for public health and life safety, and secondarily for protection of property as appropriate. As such, there are no exemptions to, or waivers for past infractions. This means that if violations of the building code exist, it is the responsibility of the owner to have them corrected, without regard to who created the violation or when it originallyoccurred. The Code Compliance P and Building Divisions are aware that some of the code violations being addressed occurred without the owners' knowledge. In some cases it has been determined that owners paid contractors for permit costs and that permits were never obtained by the contractors. Several actions are taking place to ensure the most efficient and painless processing possible for Meadowbrook homeowners. 1. As stated above, the City has made a policy of not assessing penalties and allowing for time extensions, where necessary. Building Division has reviewed its records and discovered two cases that occurred early in the process which received a double-fee penalty. Reimbursements are being prepared for those cases, and if more cases are discovered they will be reimbursed. 2. Building Division inspections utilize the code that was in effect when the work was done, i.e., older cases are not being required to meet current building code standards if the work was done under a previously effective building code. 3. Building Division is inspecting properties and when possible, is making allowances for work as-is or with minor corrections. 4. Building and Code Divisions are working with the Broward County Urban Planning and Redevelopment Department's Contractor Licensing and Enforcement Division to identify and contact those contractors who charged homeowners for permits but did not obtain them from the City. These contractors will be required to pay for the permits in question or will be reported to the Florida Department of Professional Regulation. 5. As most cases involve improvements that are similar (window and door replacement, storm shutters, enclosures), engineering requirements are also similar. The Building Division is utilizing standard engineering drawings and specifications and accepting Hold Harmless Indemnification agreements from individual property owners in lieu of requiring each individual homeowner to provide engineering drawings and specifications. 6. The City does not recommend contractors for any type of work. In the case of Meadowbrook Condominiums, the building association presidents are aware of contractors that have been working to help correct violations. Owners are encouraged to coordinate with their association for information on contractors. Staff will continue to assist in resolution of the code issues at Meadowbrook Condominiums in a manner that is sensitive to the homeowners' individual circumstances. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Information Only— No Commission action is required.
