PRICEMARK, by posting at said property and the City on September 10, 2025.
CEO Brana gave the following testimony: This property has been cited for trash and debris three
times this year. Each time the property has come into compliance and then a new violation
occurs. There are boxes, trash, and debris outside by the dumpster at the cited property. The
property is unsightly and the trash itself harbors rodents. The property is now in compliance but
after the Notice of Hearing was issued. The City has put a trespass notice on file in the event
vagrants loiter around and sort through the dumpster.
The Respondent Property Owner gave the following testimony: Marquise Frasier spoke on behalf
of the Property Manager and testified that the landlord and property manager are consistently
working with the tenant to remain in compliance. He remains in contact with the tenant. They
sent the tenant a certified letter that these violations violate the lease. The tenant now has a
second dumpster and is cleaning up. The property manager is hoping the tenant will obtain a
compactor for the boxes. Rory Williams, the owner of the property management company,
visited the property after the City met with the interested parties. The tenant says the vagrants
take the boxes out of the dumpster and leave them all around.
The Code Enforcement Special Magistrate made inquiry of the CEO and the Respondents.
The Code Enforcement Special Magistrate determined the following pertinent facts exist: A
nuisance existed at the cited property, located within 100 feet of improved property within the
City of Longwood. The nuisance existed due to the accumulation of trash, cardboard, and other
debris past the date set for compliance. The condition of the property is so unsightly, it may affect

may cause the area to become infested by rodents. The property came into compliance after the
Notice of Hearing was issued.
