Very sad situation in Deltona regarding the young boy. On December 1st, the City sent Certified Mail, a Notice of Violation to Mr. Schmitz, property owner at 305 Surf Drive regarding the unsafe conditions related to the swimming pool. The Notice gave Mr. Schmitz until December 21st to remedy the nuisance conditions related to the pool. In other words, the pool is required to be demolished by this date. Mr. Schmitz has until December 31st to file an appeal to the Notice. If an appeal is not filed by this date, the City may take remedial action up to performing/causing the demolition of the pool. Regarding the downed temporary fence, City Staff will be correcting that today. If you have any further question or comments, please let me know.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — A 2-year-old boy in Deltona drowned in a backyard swimming pool on Wednesday, deputies told WESH 2 News. Neighbors said they had been worried about the property on Dalton Avenue for a while. Advertisement Emergency crews received a call shortly after 3 p.m. reporting a toddler had been pulled from a pool and was not breathing. Access to the home was blocked off Wednesday as deputies completed their drowning investigation. According to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, the boy drowned Wednesday afternoon. Rescue crews were not able to revive the child. Detectives remained at the home for several hours. Neighbors, who did not want to talk on camera, said that for years, they have been concerned about the condition of the home where the drowning occurred. One woman said she had called code enforcement to complain about the family's dogs and others said they frequently complained about trash in the yard. Records from the Volusia County Sheriff's Office reveal deputies have been called to the house at least 12 times since since 2015. The reasons for the calls range from threatening calls, to Animal Control and weapons complaints. WESH 2 News is working to find out if code enforcement officials responded to those complaints. 2-year-old boy drowns in backyard pool in Florida Associated Press Authorities have released the identity of the 2-year-old boy who drowned in his family's backyard pool in Florida.
