BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:

Catherine Heasley Fine Reduction Request:

This Fine Reduction Stipulation and Agreed Recommended Order involves a parcel located at 1464 NE CROTON STREET, JENSEN BEACH, FL 34957, Martin County, Florida.

On October 17, 2018, an Order Finding Violation was issued by the Code Enforcement Magistrate to HEASLEY, CATHERINE, for the following violation(s): Section 21.115 - Roofs General Ordinances, Martin County Code.

Compliance was required by November 30, 2018. On February 24, 2020, an Affidavit of Transition & Accrued Fines and costs was issued reflecting an outstanding fine of $36,700.00 plus costs in the amount of $ 575.00.

Staff has determined that a lien reduction is warranted. The Respondent's Estate was responsible for the violation; however, the County placed the property under condemnation, the Estate did bring it into compliance, and have offered to pay $3,727.50 to resolve the outstanding fines which have accrued.
