Take a little time? It has been 28 years total and 10 years of the
owner’s complete disregard of community standards and citizenship.
Hiding behind “not be at liberty to discuss” is a misuse of the public
trust. In 2016 the property was dropped from Homestead and you weren’t
paying attention enough to do anything. Now the Homestead is dropped
again and the city’s sloth speed movement will provide the owner an
opportunity to provide another block to resolving this issue. I want the
CO pulled to ensure the city has to inspect the inside. I want the city
to take action to clean up the yard. The roof has had holes in it for 10
years, there are raccoons in the attic, rats and mice in the yard. The
smell is horrible and I suspect mold. The front and rear porch are not
structurally sound and in danger of collapse land have visible mold. The
city website quotes from the Building Code on part of CO

A9-DBD30C495D79&Type=B_BASIC> , but let’s look at it all. I have
positive responses from two local news agencies that after reading my
file are now interested in my story. Monday morning I will be contacting
the Central District EPA Office, Brevard County Health Department and
the Federal Housing and Urban Development. I have endured this abuse by
city management long enough.

Good morning Mr. Campbell. The following is in response to your email
from September 25, 2018 (shown below) wherein you request the status of
305 Surf and 8497 Ridgewood.
In correspondence dated September 16, 2018, an answer to the status of
305 Surf was provided to you by the City Attorney. Below is a portion of
that correspondence that I think is important for all of us to keep in
mind:
“As you know, the City Manager has directed a comprehensive staff and
legal review of this situation. We are fully engaged in a comprehensive
review which will obviously take a little time. My office is assisting
and will advise the City Manager accordingly about possible legal
remedies including, but not limited to, bringing one or more actions in
a court of competent jurisdiction. Going forward, I know you appreciate
that my office and City officials will not be at liberty to discuss or
disclose attorney-client privilege information regarding this pending
review and possible future legal action. I also know you realize that
we are devoting significant resources to this task. Because you are
most affected by the conditions at 305 Surf Drive, we intend to
generally keep you apprised of our progress and we appreciate your
assistance when the opportunity for your assistance is needed like the
inspection from your property this week.”
Regarding 8497 Ridgewood, on May 17, 2018, the Code Enforcement Board
imposed a $75 per day fine on the property until the violations are
corrected. For your information, I have attached the Notice of Violation
which lists the violations. Total fines to date are approximately
$10,100.00.
Regarding your question “Has the Certificate of Occupancy been
revoked?” for these two properties; a CO is issued when a structure is
built and it is determined that it meets applicable codes and can be
occupied. Revoking a CO is not the mechanism used to designate a
building that cannot be occupied. The City has posted 8497 Ridgewood as
uninhabitable (which means that it cannot be occupied) and required that
it be secured. Regarding 305 Surf, as indicated above, the City is
evaluating its options to include possible legal remedies.
Have a good weekend.
Dave

Please tell me the status on these two abandoned and unlivable
properties. Has the Certificate of Occupancy been revoked? Neither have
Homestead and neither can be occupied.
