a varying degree, discolored, covered in mold,
deteriorated, suffering from wet rot and of
questionable structural integrity. Potential
exists for collapse of a large portion of the roof
system. Back patio main beam has
substantial structural deterioration which has
reduced the mid -span dimension of the beam
to half of the original dimension making the
back porch unsafe and in a state of imminent
collapse. Numerous holes or collapsed

Numerous containers of rain water exist in the
dwelling unit which appear to be attempting to
capture rain water falling through the roof and
ceiling. A screw -jack is holding up a portion of
the interior ceiling and is possibly supporting a
deteriorated main truss. Hoarding of
excessive quantities of objects, material, junk
and trash is occurring at the property and
many parts of the interior of the dwelling unit
are inaccessible and can no longer be used for
intended purposes. Substantial damage exists
to interiorwalls, floors, ceilings, doors, light
fixtures, trim, baseboards, etc. Most of the
interior and portions of the exterior are infested
with visible toxic and other mold. Extensive
mold is visible on furniture, carpet and carpet
pads, draperies, insulation, bedding items and
other content throughout the interior of the
dwelling. Kitchen cabinets have fallen off the
wall. Potable water has been turned off or is
not being consumed for extensive periods of
time at the property. The interior of the
dwelling is a breeding ground and refuge for
vermin, rodents and other pests. The single-
family dwelling is unsanitary, uninhabitable
and unfit for human occupancy, and the single-
family dwelling and two accessory structures
constitute an unsafe building and public
nuisance as defined in Paragraphs 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, and 10. Specifically, the condition of
the property violates:
Any building or structure that has any of the

property or safety of its occupants or the
general public are endangered:
3. The building, structure or portion thereof,
due to all imposed loads including dead load
exceeds the stresses allowed in the Florida

structural integrity of the building or structure is
less than it was prior to the damage and is less
than the minimum requirement established by
the Florida Building Code for new building.
5. Any exterior appendage or portion of the
building or structure is not securely fastened,
attached or anchored such that it is capable of
resisting wind, seismic or similar loads as
required by the Florida Building Code for new
buildings.
