BACKGROUND:
CASE # 20-1362
This case was brought to the board for a lien reduction on January 18, 2024 and I apologize, I read from an unedited template.
For the record the testimony I gave with dates and amounts were incorrect but the testimonies given by staff and Mrs. Fuller was correct. At this time, I'd like to re-read the correct information on the record.
The Code Enforcement Board held a public hearing on 8/19/2021, at which time the Board found the owner, Harold & Risa Fuller in violation of the following:
* Business Tax Receipt, Sec. 12-1 (a)(b)
* Rental Business Tax, Sec. 6-2003
* Storing Junk or Autos, Sec. 6-902 (b)(1)(2)
The Code Enforcement Board provided the owner sufficient time to correct said violation. Therefore, consistent with the Code Enforcement Board's Order a Non-Compliance Hearing was held on 11/18/2021.
The lien ran at $75.00 per day from 10/16/2021 until compliance was achieved on 11/29/2022. Code records show onsite inspections were conducted by Officer's Pettengill, Buonocore and Myself. The case was closed leaving a fine of $30,665.00.The current owner, Risa R. Fuller, is requesting that the lien be reduced to $0.00.
Staff utilized the following factors in making its recommendation to reduce the lien:
* Whether the current owner owned the property at the time the violation(s) occurred; Yes
* Applicant resides at the property: No, this is a rental property
* The number of violations related to the subject lien; Three
* Number of Inspections performed: 29
* Property Taxes: Taxes are paid through 2023
* Other Liens: Records show no outstanding liens on the property. No water lien...
