HomeMy WebLinkAboutRe code violations 305 Surf DriveThe environment today precludes prudent citizens from exposing
themselves and family members to potential retribution. We desire the
City to confront this situation, not in private, but in public and in
accordance with the ordinances our City leadership is obligated to
uphold. Canaveral Code Watch was formed to ensure there is a protected
avenue for the citizens to speak to the City. This is not a new concept,
even for our City. At one time there was a method on the City's website
to do what we are asking for now. We expect accurate and timely
information be made available including correct assessment of the
conditions brought forth and violations, actions taken by the City and
solutions be made available to the public. I ask you to reconsider your
reluctance to address this matter.

Mayor, the clip is from an Oct 2015 Code Enforcement minutes.
This property is not in any way compliant with city ordnances. This
property has been an eyesore for over a decade. NOTHING substantial has
been done to correct the most serious violations - rotten and crumbling
roof, swimming pool popped out of the ground and is nothing more than a
large puddle of stagnate mosquito infested water, screen enclosure
falling apart, mold on the outside of the property, trash and junk all
over the back yard, fence falling down, an abandoned boat in the back
yard, an untagged vehicle in the driveway. There is more, but our point
is, calling this property in compliance is just a complete disregard for
the standards set by and expected by the citizens of our city. We also
find a lack of visibility, management and accuracy of the information
provided to the web interface by the building department. Please let us
know via response to this email, what the city plans to do.
