The Cooper City Special Magistrate Code Enforcement meeting held on October 1, 2025, addressed several cases concerning property violations and compliance issues within the city. The meeting began with a review of ongoing cases, focusing on the need for timely compliance with building codes and permit requirements.

One significant case involved a property where electrical work was still pending approval. The contractor had reapplied for a permit on September 26, but while the structural aspects were approved, the electrical components faced disapproval. The magistrate granted a three-week extension for compliance, setting a deadline of October 22, 2025. Failure to comply by this date would result in a daily fine of $250, along with a $150 administrative fee due by October 31.

Another case discussed involved a property at 9445 Southwest 52nd Court, where the owner, Robert Delpina, reported that demolition work was completed, but inspections had not yet been called in. The magistrate rescheduled this case for November 5, 2025, allowing the owner additional time to finalize compliance.

The meeting also addressed a case concerning the construction of a pickleball court at 9621 Northwest 26 Court. The owner, Kevin Tenney, explained that they were awaiting approval from Central Broward to determine if the court could remain in its current location. The magistrate expressed concern over the delays and the need for timely action, noting that fines had been accruing since August 1, 2025. The case was continued to November 5, with the magistrate emphasizing the importance of obtaining necessary permits.

In a separate case regarding a property at 5500 South Flamingo Road, the magistrate noted that required structural and electrical inspection reports had not been submitted since a violation notice was sent on August 19. The magistrate decided to give the property owners until October 31 to comply, with fines set to accrue if compliance was not achieved.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by property owners in Cooper City regarding compliance with building codes and the importance of adhering to permit requirements to avoid accruing fines. The magistrate's decisions reflected a balance between allowing time for compliance and enforcing accountability for violations. The next scheduled hearings for these cases will take place on November 5, 2025.
