IPMC Sec. 304.10 Stairway,Deck,Porch,Balco
IPMC Sec. 304.2 Protective Treatment
IPMC Sec. 304.4 Structural Members
Code Enforcement Officer John Markee presented the case, stating Mr. Blackard was sent a Notice of Hearing
by first class and certified mail. He stated Mr. Blackard is not present because he is in compliance. Mr. Markee
presented photos of the property, stating the pictures encompass the evolution of the protective treatment and
the back porch area.
Staff recommends the Board find the property owner in violation for the time in violation and now in
compliance.
Discussion ensued. Chair de Luna asked Mr. Markee if Mr. Blackard has complied with all the violations and
Mr. Markee stated yes. Chair de Luna stated while there is more construction to be done, it is not in a violation
context. Mr. Markee stated Mr. Blackard is compliant for the violations he had, but the property currently has a
stop work order from the building department for expired permits. Mr. Markee referred the Board to the case
folder he had provided for them. He directed the Board to the letter dated 1/12/16 from our Building Official,
Dan Arlington. Mr. Markee stated the letter gives Mr. Blackard until 2/1/16 to comply with the conditions of
the letter and permitting. Mr. Markee stated if Mr. Blackard does not comply with the Building Official's
requirements, the case will come back before the Code Enforcement Board,
Mr. Komando asked Mr. Markee if Mr. Blackard was given notice of tonight's hearing, and Mr. Markee stated
yes. Mr. Komando asked Mr. Markee to explain to the Board how he had effectuated notice. Mr. Markee
stated Mr. Blackard asked if he had to be present for the Board and Mr. Markee told him no, due to being in
compliance. Mr. Komando asked if Mr. Blackard was advised this was a violation hearing and he had the
opportunity to be heard, and Mr. Markee stated yes.
Mr. Norman asked Chair de Luna to clarify what the motion would be. Chair de Luna stated the motion he
would like to see is that Mr. Blackard is in compliance with all the listed violations at this time.
Motion: The Board moves to find Mr. Blackard in compliance.
Moved by Norman, Seconded by Lombardi
Discussion ensued. Ms. Coplan asked if they were going to discuss a fine, as she thought Mr. Markee was
asking the Board to consider fining Mr. Blackard for the period he was not in compliance. Mr. Komando stated
he understood the staff recommendation was to find that a violation had occurred and was now in compliance;
not to impose a fine. Chair de Luna stated, as he understands it, there are no fines to the current violations and
no notification to Mr. Blackard of any other violations and (or) proposed fines, correct? Mr. Markee stated that
is correct, not outside of the stop work order and the remediation with the Building Official. Ms. Coplan stated
she would like to have it on record that it had been two years before the property owner came into compliance.
Ms. Coplan asked Mr. Komando what is the longest length of time the Code Enforcement Board can allow
continuances of the violations, or extensions of time to get something fixed. Mr. Komando stated he believes it
is three years, and it is up to the Board.
The motion was approved unanimously.
