If you choose to admit to the violation, the Code Enforcement & Nuisance Abatement Board has authorized the enforcement staff to enter into consent orders regarding these violations. This would give you an opportunity to negotiate the time for compliance and the amount of fine for the violation, subject to approval by the Code Enforcement & Nuisance Abatement Board. If you wish to enter into a consent order, please call (407) 742-0400 to schedule an appointment with the Code Enforcement Officer who issued the violation. You have until 3:00 p.m. the Friday before the hearing to do this.
If you do not enter into a consent order, come prepared to have your case heard by the Code Enforcement & Nuisance Abatement Board on the above-mentioned date. Should you be found to be in violation, also be prepared to present evidence concerning the amount of time necessary to correct the violation. In the event the Code Enforcement & Nuisance Abatement Board finds you in violation, they have the power by law to levy fines of up to $250.00 per day for a first violation, and up to $500.00 per day for a repeat violation, against you and your property for every day that any violation continues beyond the compliance date set in an order issued by the Board.
Should you desire, you have the right to obtain an attorney, at your own expense, to represent you before the Board. You will also have the opportunity to present witnesses as well as question the witnesses against you prior to the Board making a determination. If the violation is corrected and then recurs, the case shall be presented to the Code Enforcement & Nuisance Abatement Board even if the violation has been corrected prior to the hearing.
If you choose to have someone represent you other than an attorney, you must provide a letter of authorization which contains the name of the individual who will be representing your interest. Additionally, in order for the Code Enforcement & Nuisance Abatement Board to consider the testimony of the individual, the letter must be signed by you and notarized.
Respectfully,
Vanessa Roman
