Subject: To amend Chapter 2 entitled "Administration", Article X of the Code of the City of Miami,
entitled "Code Enforcement" to amend Sections 2-817, 2-825 and 2-826
Purpose of Item:
An ordinance to amend Chapter 2 entitled "Administration", Article X of the Code of the City of
Miami, entitled "Code Enforcement" to amend Sections 2-817, 2-825 and 2-826 to provide enhanced
code compliance and for the reduction of fines for cause and timely repayment of fines and liens.
Backeround Information:
The City is seeking to facilitate timely compliance, equitable fines for violators, and provide an
avenue for redress from the Code Enforcement Board or Special Master upon exhausting
administrative remedies.
This ordinance provides reasonable mitigation guidelines for the Code Enforcement Board and
Special Master, including factors of consideration such as ordinances/resolutions from the City of
Miami Commission established to protect "quality of life" criteria or objectives. It further authorizes
the City to grant time extensions for compliance and mitigation when the violator exhibits diligent
efforts toward timely compliance and delineates the violator's rights to an administrative hearing.
It is anticipated that the proposed changes shall reduce our code enforcement processing costs and
increase the City's revenue. The City projects a significant revenue increase to the average monies
collected in FY'07 and FY'08 which totaled $455,015 and $633,863 respectively.
