4 McDougall, Dennis B. Code Compliance Case No Case 1 **UNSAFE STRUCTURE APPEAL** Nature of Violation: Notice of Appeal of the demolition order received from Mr. McDougall on January 17, Code Officer Matt Hampton testified that the property owner requested an appeal of the orders issued to vacate and demolish the structure on January 17, All Safety Evaluation Team (SET) inspectors conducted their inspections on December 2, Anthony Waugaman, Environmental Health, recommended an order to demolish; Jeff Hamm, Building Inspector, recommended an order to demolish; JC Charlton, Code Compliance Officer, recommended an order to vacate; and Paul Gillum, Fire Marshal, recommended an order to secure. All recommendations were submitted to Carl Jones, Certified Building Official, on December 5, The Building Official s order to vacate and demolish by February 6, 2017 was received on December 6, All interested parties were identified according to the official records of Citrus County, Florida and provided notice of the orders to vacate and demolish via certified and first class mail on December 28, Public notice was published in the Citrus County Chronicle on January 1, The property and the Lecanto Government Building were posted with notice on December 28, Anthony Waugaman, Environmental Health Aide, testified that he conducted an inspection on December 2, He conducted a septic tank check and found that the tank is working; however, it is not working properly and there was sewage on the ground. One of the doors was missing and a mattress was in its place. The ceiling inside the structure showed leakage into the walls possibly causing mold. He believes that the cost of the repairs necessary outweigh the value of the home; therefore, he recommended an order to demolish. JC Charlton, Code Compliance Officer, testified that he conducted the initial inspection on December 2, He observed an unkempt property with a missing sliding glass door with a mattress covering the opening and the front door was completely missing from the residence. It appeared that the structure was not livable; therefore, he recommended an order to vacate. Carl Jones, Building Division Director/Official, testified that he reviewed the SET reports and photographs. The report that he gave the most weight to in forming his final order was from Building Inspector, Jeff Hamm. Mr. Hamm indicated that the structure was so damaged, decayed, dilapidated, unsanitary, unsafe, and vermin infested that it created a serious hazard to health and safety of the occupant. When reviewing the photographs, it s very evident there are many places on the home with water intrusion causing deterioration of the building materials. The roof is compromised to the point that the ceiling is missing and the insulation is visible in the attic space. There is mold and mildew growing on the walls and there are many water stains. Mobile homes of this age don t react well to water and almost any water intrusion deteriorates it structurally; however, the extent of water damage and intrusion to this home is very severe. The extent of the damage far exceeds the value of the home. In his opinion, this home is not repairable and it would be remiss to allow someone to live in these conditions. We have an obligation to protect the general 4

5 public from buildings and structures in this condition; therefore, he issued an order to vacate and demolish. Appellant, Dennis B. McDougall, was present and testified that he agrees with the determination that the home needs to be demolished. He has been working with Taylor Made Homes and received an estimate on obtaining a replacement mobile home which will include the demolition of the current structure. He expects to have the funds available within two (2) weeks and he will then have the current structure demolished and a replacement structure on the property. He understands the conditions and is requesting additional time to complete everything necessary to replace the mobile home. Carl Jones, Building Official and Scott McKinney, Code Compliance Director, agreed to extend the demolition date to April 15, 2017 to allow Mr. McDougall the time needed to comply with the order to vacate and demolish. Special Master Order: Based on the definitions as set forth in Citrus County Code of Ordinances, Chapter 20, Nuisances, Article V, Unsafe Structures and/or Conditions, Section for blighted or slum structures or conditions the structure meets those definitions and the criteria were established by the Safety Evaluation Team regarding this property that the structure has defects that are found within Section and Section 20-54; therefore the Building Official s demolition order is upheld. Based on all of the evidence produced at the hearing, the Special Master will uphold the County s demolition order based on criteria for unsafe structures outlined in the Citrus County Code of Ordinances, Chapter 20, Nuisances, Article V, Unsafe Structures and/or Conditions Section and Section Lolley, Marshall A. & Cynthia Code Compliance Case No Case 2 **REPEAT VIOLATION** Nature of Violation: It shall be unlawful for the owner or tenant of any land to permit, cause or have thereon any accumulation of junk, debris, rubbish and vegetative matter except for junk stored in enclosed litter receptacles or completely enclosed buildings; except for junk which will not fit into standard sized litter receptacles and which is set out for no more than 48 hours for pick up and removal; except for recyclable material stored in receptacles provided for recycling such materials; except junk stored in a lawfully established and maintained junkyard, garbage or waste disposal site or sanitary landfill; and except for accumulations of vegetative waste on agricultural lands on the above property, pursuant to Chapter 20, Article III, Section 20-31(a) of the Citrus County Code of Ordinances.
