the fence was there when he purchased the building. A tree from the adjacent property
fell onto the fence. Within one week, his maintenance man will come out to the make the
repairs needed.
Special Magistrate made inquiry of the Code Compliance Officer and Respondent.
The Special Magistrate made her findings, finding that service was properly made. The
fence at the rear of the property fails to meet Minimum Property Standards in that it is in
disrepair and is falling down. Either the fence must be removed, or it may be repaired
without a permit if less than 20% of the fence is repaired/ replaced; or a permit must be
pulled if more than 20% of the fence is to be repaired/ replaced. If a permit is required,
the work must pass all required inspections within 30 days of issuance. Respondents are
to pay Administrative Costs of $ 100. 00 within 30 days of receipt of Final Orders. If
Respondents do not comply by May 10, 2021, Respondents shall pay a fine of$ 20. 00 per
day for each day the violation continues to exist beyond the date set for compliance.
