TITUSVILLE, Fla. — Magistrate Don Wynn on Nov. 7 heard a full docket of code‑enforcement cases for the City of Titusville, finding several properties returned to compliance while imposing administrative costs or daily fines on properties that remained out of compliance.
Officer May, presenting several continued Massey cases, told the hearing that a storage container at 2655 Ollie Byrd Drive had been removed and the property was now in compliance. Don Wynn ruled, “I find based on the evidence and testimony presented that notice was properly provided to the respondent and the respondent did appear. The evidence demonstrates that the property located at 2655 Ollie Byrd Drive ... is no longer in violation,” but ordered the respondent to pay $146.14 in administrative costs.
In a compliance case involving Walmart Stores East LP at 3175 Cheney Highway, city staff reported that a retention‑pond aerator had been installed and final inspections were complete; the magistrate found the property in compliance and confirmed administrative fees had been paid.
A trustee for the Shwerensky Trust at 1635 Bahama Street told staff she had restored running water via an irrigation meter. Code staff verified interior hot and cold water and asked the magistrate to find the property in compliance. Don Wynn found the property in compliance but imposed administrative costs of $312.38.
Not all cases ended without further action. At 302 Willow Street, code staff presented photos showing discarded appliances remained, reporting no contact with the owner. The magistrate found a continuing violation of the cited IPMC provision and imposed a $250‑per‑day fine beginning Nov. 8, 2025, and administrative costs of $241.94; the order will be recorded as a lien if unpaid.
At 412 Mendel Lane, staff reported inoperable vehicles remained after earlier orders and the respondents did not appear. Don Wynn found a continuing violation, imposed $136.28 in administrative costs and a $100‑per‑day fine beginning Nov. 8, 2025, and directed that the certified order could be recorded as a lien if costs were not paid.
An initial hearing at 218 Ojibwe Avenue raised a timing question after city staff learned the property had been foreclosed and the certificate of title had issued to the bank on Oct. 9. City staff said the mortgage company (Sunwest Property Investments LLC) told inspectors it would not repair violations while the property remained occupied. Don Wynn said the city had provided required notice consistent with the tax‑appraiser list and ordered respondents to correct the fence and install a proper pool enclosure by noon on Dec. 5, 2025; a $100‑per‑day fine will begin on Dec. 6 for any continuing violations. Administrative costs of $189.11 were listed for the matter.
For properties found in violation, the magistrate repeatedly instructed respondents to notify code enforcement once corrections were made so staff could reinspect. Where administrative costs remain unpaid, certified copies of orders will be recorded in public records and constitute liens on the subject properties.
The hearing concluded with no items in the manager’s report; the magistrate adjourned the session at 1:36 p.m.
