It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission approve the attached resolution, allocating
seven thousand dollars ($7,000.00) towards the City of Miami Commercial Code Compliance
Program, for one (1) business within the Little Haiti target area.
BACKGROUND:
In an effort to promote code compliance within blighted City of Miami neighborhoods, the Code
Compliance Program was implemented, per Resolution No. 95-413, on May 25, 1995, during the 21st
Year of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.
These properties have been cited by the Little Haiti NET Office for electrical and fire violations. The
correction of these violations will result in upgraded living conditions in the affected areas and
increased benefits to the community.
Therefore, it is requested that the City of Miami allocate CDBG funds in the amount of seven
thousand dollars ($7,000.00) to the Pierre Toussaint Haitian Catholic Center, for the implementation
of the Commercial Code Compliance Program for the following properties:
Little Haiti
Libreri Mapou 5919-21 N.E. 2nd Avenue
Each of the aforementioned enterprises would be allocated a maximum of ten thousand dollars
($10,000.00), with the City of Miami contributing 70%, up to seven thousand dollars ($7,000.00),
and the business or property owner contributing 30%, up to three thousand dollars ($3,000.00).
Pierre Toussaint Haitian Catholic Center will assume responsibility for completing all pertinent
documentation, and will forward such information to the City of Miami NET, which will make sure
that the electrical, and fire violations have been corrected.
Therefore, per the aforementioned legislation, it is respectfully recommended that the attached
resolution be adopted.
