"i find this all very interesting that the judge in this case is "outraged" by the conditions of the cemetery and how the owner better comply or face jail time. i realize it's a bit of an apples and oranges comparison but really, in the picture, isn't it funny that the only time things move forward is when people are "watching"....ridiculous

I wish Judge Dominguez would be as outraged as this Judge. Perhaps if he saw some of the house of the cases he dismissed, he wouldn't.
Why do you think code enforcement is such a joke. You have Bill, Curtis and Harold running the department. They do absolutely nothing until someone make a threat. The worst part is, the Mayor will not have the courage to do anything either.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the situation is bound to get worse in the next few years. Speculators bought houses in Seminole Heights and Tampa Heights with the intent to flip them. Now that the market is declining and interest is going up, they're abandoning the properties altogether. There are five abandoned houses within two blocks of my house in N. Seminole Heights. All have code enforcement actions pending, some are in foreclosure because the "flippers" abandoned them, and the city won't or can't do anything. The abandoned buildings have attracted more drugs and prostitution into the area, so we're going backwards. Somehow I don't think the Mayor would permit this to happen in Palma Ceia.
