CIVIL DIVISION
Case No. L -/I/3d.
CONIGSA CORPORATION, a Florida
profit corporation
Plaintiff,
v.
THE CITY OF MIAMI, a Municipal
Corporation of the State of Florida
Defendant.
COMPLAINT

undersigned counsel, and files this Complaint against Defendant, THE CITY OF MIAMI (the
"City"), and in support thereof state as follows:
PARTIES, JURISDICTION & VENUE
1. Plaintiff, CONIGSA CORPORATION, is a Florida profit corporation with its
principal place of business in Miami -Dade County, Florida.
2. Defendant, THE CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA, is a Municipal Corporation of the
State of Florida.
3. This is an action for Declaratory Judgment and supplemental relief pursuant to
Section 86.011 of the Florida Statute with respect to property rights valued in excess of Fifty
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) in Miami -Dade County, Florida.
1
4, Plaintiff is the owner of the commercial property located at 2210 NW 14th Street,
Miami, Florida, 33125 (the "Property"), which is within the city limits of the City. The Property
bears folio number 01-3134-092-0010 and has the following legal description:
Tract A, Mautner's Subdivision, according to the plat thereof as recorded in Plat
Book 109, Page 30, Public Records of Miami -Dade County, Florida.
5. Venue is proper in Miami -Dade as the Property is located within Miami -Dade
County and the actions as further described herein otherwise took place in Miami -Dade County.
GENERAL ALLEGATIONS COMMON TO ALL CLAIMS
6. On July 1, 2001, Plaintiff purchased and acquired title to the Property pursuant to
a Warranty Deed.
7. On or about August 9, 2023, Plaintiff entered into a Commercial Contract to sell
the Property to a prospective buyer (the "Sale Contract")
8. On or about August 23, 2023, Plaintiff was provided a lien search report for the
Property (the "Lien Search Report") as part of the sale process.
9. The open code violation from the City bears case number CB2021010653 (the
"Violation") and is Plaintiff's tenants' failure to obtain a valid Certificate of Use and failure to
obtain a valid Business Tax Receipt.
10. Prior to receiving the Lien Search Report, Plaintiff was unaware of any violations
or liens against the Property and Plaintiff did not receive any notices regarding any violations
against the Property.
11, Since becoming aware of the Violation, on numerous occasions and including
specifically on September 5, 2023, and September 6, 2023, Plaintiff, though the undersigned law
firm, made multiple requests for information regarding the Violation to the City,
2
12. On September 6, 2023, Plaintiff's counsel spoke with a City code compliance
employee regarding the Violation and was told that to date, the Violation remained open and that
daily fines had been accruing for 765 consecutive days, resulting in a total amount of $363,000.00
in fines.
13. In September 2023, the undersigned firm had submit a public records request from
the City directly for the Violation, due to the lack of responses from the City employees regarding
the specifics of the Violation and a willful refusal to provide copies of the Violation.
14. Plaintiff's counsel sent additional emails to the City on October 5, 2023, October
27, 2023, and October 30, 2023, in an attempt to get further details about the Violation in an effort
to resolve same.
15. On October 27, 2023, Plaintiff finally received the public records request report
(the "Public Records Request Report") from the City and was able to review the details of the
Violation.
16. The Violation was comprised of the following specific violations:
a. Violation #2151 against Plaintiff's tenant Reddy to GO LLC for failure to obtain a
Business Tax Receipt for the type of business being conducted.
b. Violation #2111 against Plaintiff's tenant Reddy to GO LLC for failure to obtain
Certificate of Use for the type of business being conducted.
c. Violation #2110 against Plaintiff's tenant Correa Kahil Import and Export L for
failure to obtain a Certificate of Use for the type of business being conducted.
d. Violation #2278 against Plaintiff's tenant Correa Kahil Import and Export L for
failure to have a valid Business Tax Receipt
3
17. The violations against Correa Kahil Import and Export L were complied with on
August 24, 2021, while the violations against Reddy to Go LLC were still open.
18. The Public Records Request Report also showed that a Notice of Violation
Potential Property Lien for the Violation was issued on May 28, 2021 (the "Notice"). See the
Notice attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
19. Since August 23, 2023, Plaintiff and undersigned firm has been working diligently
on obtaining compliance for the Violation.
20. On or about November 13, 2023, Reddy To Go LLC submitted its certificate of use
application to the City.
21. Due to complications with the application process coupled with unresponsiveness
from the City, Reddy To Go LLC did not obtain its certificate of use and subsequently its business
tax receipt until June 11, 2024, ahnost a full nine months after the initial application was submitted,
which caused the total fine balance to increase by over $135,000.00 during that span.
22. On July 3, 2024, Jason Mignott, City code inspector ("Inspector Mignott'),
confirmed that the Violation is in compliance but still open due to the outstanding balance owed
from the per diem fines.
23. The lien balance on the Violation show that the violation was open for a total of
1,028 days and has a total fine balance of $514,000.00. See Lien Balance documents attached
hereto as Exhibit "B."
IMPROPER SERVICE
24. Plaintiff denies ever receiving notice of violation CE2021010653, denies receiving
a notice for the Code Enforcement hearing date, and also denies receiving the final Administrative
Enforcement Notice.
4
25, The Notice dated May 28, 2021 listed the incorrect address for the Plaintiff, which
was a prior mailing address and not the mailing address which appeared on Sunbiz in 2021. See
Exhibit "A" and Sunbiz Records attached hereto as Composite Exhibit "C."
26. The Public Records Request Report also included an unsigned affidavit of posting
and mailing from Inspector Mignott dated August 24, 2021, which states that on May 28, 2021,
Mr, Mignott posted a copy of the Notice on the Property and sent a copy by first class mail. See
Affidavit of Posting and Mailing attached hereto as Exhibit "D."
27. However, Chapter 2, Article X Section 2-819(a) of the Code of the City of Miami,
requires that all notices shall be furnished by certified mail, return receipt requested, or hand
delivered by the sheriff or other law enforcement officer, code inspector, or designated agent acting
by and through the code inspector and left with any person residing therein who is 15 years of age
or older and informing that person of its contents. If the violator is a corporation, the notice can be
delivered to the registered agent.
28. Inspector Mignott's August 21, 2021 affidavit of posting and mailing the May 28,
2021 Notice does not specify where the Notice was mailed to, does not state that it was done via
certified mail with return receipt requested, and states that it was posted on the property, which is
not a proper form of notice under Chapter 2, Article X Section 2-819(a) of the Code of the City of
Miami.
29. On August 21, 2021, a Notice of Violation Summons to Appear in front of the Code
Enforcement Board on September 08, 2021 was issued against Plaintiff and again listed Plaintiff's
prior mailing address and not the mailing address which appeared on Sunbiz in 2021. See Notice
of Violation Summons attached hereto as Exhibit "E"
5
30. Similar to the scenario above, the Public Records Request Report included an
unsigned affidavit of posting and mailing from Inspector Mignott dated August 26, 2021, which
states that on August 26, 2021, Inspector Mignott posted a copy of a document (not named) on the
Property and sent a copy by first class mail. See Affidavit of Posting and Mailing attached hereto
as Exhibit "F."
31. Inspector Mignott's, August 26, 2021, affidavit of posting and mailing does not
specify which documents were posted and mailed, where the documents were mailed to, does not
state that it was done via certified mail with return receipt requested, and states that the documents
was posted on the property, which is not a proper form of notice under Chapter 2, Article X Section
2-819(a) of the Code of the City of Miami.
32. On September 8, 2021, the City Code Enforcement Board issued a Final
Administrative Enforcement Order (the "Final Order") and found Plaintiff guilty of the Violation
due to Plaintiff's failure to appear at the Code Enforcement Board hearing.
33. The Final Order ordered Plaintiff to correct the Violation by September 9, 2021, or
thereafter be fined $500.00 a day until the Violation was corrected. See The Final Order attached
hereto as Exhibit "G."
34. The Final Order that was issued listed Plaintiff's prior mailing address, not the
mailing address which appeared on Sunbiz in 2021. See Exhibit "G."
35. The Public Record Request Report documents do not include any documents which
prove that the Final Order was ever mailed to or properly served on Plaintiff.
36. On September 9, 2021, Inspector Mignott issued affidavits of non-compliance, all
of which listed Plaintiff's prior mailing address and not the mailing address which appeared on
Sunbiz in 2021.
6
37. Since September 9, 2021, the Property has been accruing daily fines of $500.00.
38. For the reasons stated above, Plaintiff challenges whether there was ever proper
service, pursuant to Chapter 2, Article X Section 2-819(a) of the Code of the City of Miami, of the
notices of violation, the summons to appear to the violation hearing, the Final Order, and the
affidavits of non-compliance.
39. Moreover, to the extent the notices and other documents were ever mailed, Plaintiff
denies ever actually receiving such documents.
40. Chapter 2, Article X Section 2-819(c) of the Code of the City of Miami, states:
evidence that an attempt has been made to hand deliver or mail notice
as provided in subsection (a), together with proof of publication or
posting as provided in paragraphs (2) and (3) of subsection (b) hereof,
shall be sufficient to show that the notice requirements of this article
have been met, without regard to whether or not the alleged violator
actually received such notice.
41. As stated throughout, Plaintiff denies ever receiving the Notice, the summons to
appear to the violation hearing, the Final Order or the affidavit of noncompliance. There is no
evidence of hand delivery or proper mailing of the Notice and other documents and there is no
evidence that the Notice and other documents were served by publication or posting following the
requirements of Chapter 2, Article X Section 2-819(b) of the Code of the City of Miami. As such,
the City has not sufficiently shown that the notice requirements have been met, without regard to
whether or not the Plaintiff actually received such notice.
INABILITY TO MITIGATE
42. Despite the improper notices, in an effort to remove the $514,000.00 worth of liens
on the Property so that the Property could be sold, Plaintiff inquired into mitigating the lien
amount.
7
43, However, Chapter 2, Article X Section 2-817(d)(2) of the Code of the City of
Miami was amended making so that fines that are more than 271 days old for non -homestead
property cannot be mitigated. See Chapter 2, Article X Section 2-187(D) of the Code of the City
of Miami attached hereto as Exhibit "H.":
(d) Mitigation of outstanding fine/lien by code enforcement board or special
magistrate.
(2) Mitigation of fine for non -homestead properties. The board or special
magistrate is hereby authorized to mitigate fines with non -homestead violators,
provided that the total amount of the daily fine imposed by the enforcement board
or special magistrate may only be reduced to the percentage stated in the schedule
below (the percentage on the chart below refers to percentage of the lien to be
paid. One hundred percent as reflected in the chart means no mitigation is allowed
and the total lien shall be paid):

44. As such, Plaintiff was unable to request a mitigation hearing on the liens on the
Property.
45. Chapter 2, Article X Section 2-817(d)(2) of the Code of the City of Miami, violates
Plaintiffs due process of law as it does not allow Plaintiff the opportunity to be heard. Further,
without mitigating the liens on the Property, the lien balance constitutes an unjust taking of almost
half of the value of the property. As the Five Hundred Fourteen Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
(514,000.00) worth of liens on the Property would result in a decrease in the Plaintiff value of the
property. With the liens placed on as a result Plaintiff has had a substantial deprivation of use and
economic use of the Properties.
46. Plaintiff has retained counsel and is obligated to pay reasonable costs and fees.
47. All conditions precedent have been met through performance, waiver, excuse, or
otherwise.
COUNT I- DECLARATORY JUDGMENT
THAT THE VIOLATIONS, FINES AND LIENS ARE VOID
48. Plaintiff realleges and incorporates by reference the allegations contained in
paragraphs 1 through 47, as if fully set forth herein.
49. Plaintiff has a bona fide, actual, present practical need for declaration.
50. The declaration concerns a present, ascertained state of facts or present controversy
over the propriety of the violations, fines, and liens against the Property, and the Plaintiff's right
to due process.
51. Plaintiff's rights and privileges to due process before being deprived of the
Property are dependent upon the facts or the law applicable to the facts.
52. The parties have, or reasonably may have, an actual, present, adverse and
antagonistic interest in the violation, fines, and liens on the Property.
9
53. The adverse and antagonistic interest(s) are all before the court by proper
process.
54. The relief sought is not merely advisory, giving of legal advice, or to answer
questions propounded for curiosity.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, CONIGSA CORPORATION, respectfully requests this Court
enter judgment in favor of the Plaintiff, and award Declaratory Judgment and declare that the
violations, fines, and liens on the Property are invalid and void for failure of due process, and
further relief as this Court may deem just and proper.
COUNT II- DECLARATORY JUDGMENT
CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE X SECTION 2-817(D)(2) OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AS APPLIED TO THE PROPERTY.
55. Plaintiff realleges and incorporates by reference the allegations contained in
paragraphs 1 through 46 above, as if fully set forth herein.
56. Article I, Section 9, of the Florida Constitution provides in pertinent part, "[n]o
person shall be deprived of ... property without due process of law." Art. I, § 9, Fla. Const.
57. The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution proved in pertinent part, "[n]o
persons ... shall be deprived of ... property, without due process of law." U.S. Const. amend. V.
58. Plaintiff has a bona fide, actual, present practical need for declaration.
59. The declaration concerns a present, ascertained state of facts or present controversy
over the constitutionality of Chapter 2, Article X Section 2-817(d)(2) of the Code of the City of
Miami as applied to Plaintiff.
60. Without the opportunity to mitigate the liens on the property (which were obtained
without notice to Plaintiff), the Plaintiff is unable to sell the Property and as such Plaintiff has had
a substantial deprivation of economic use of the Property.
10
61, Plaintiff's rights and privileges to due process before being deprived of the
Property are dependent upon the facts or the law applicable to the facts.
62. The parties have, or reasonably may have, an actual, present, adverse and
antagonistic interest in the violation, fines, and liens against the Property.
63. The adverse and antagonistic interest(s) are all before the court by proper process.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff COGNISA CORPORATION, respectfully requests this Court
enter judgement in favor of the Plaintiff, and award Declaratory Judgement and declare that
Chapter 2, Article X Section 2-817(d)(2) of the Code of the City of Miami is unconstitutional as
applied to Plaintiff and as such Plaintiff can mitigate the liens on their property, and grant such
other, and further relief as this Court may deem just and proper.
