A RESOLUTION OF THE MIAMI CITY COMMISSION DIRECTING THE CITY
ADMINISTRATION TO AUTOMATICALLY SEND TO THE CODE ENFORCEMENT
BOARD OR SPECIAL MASTER, IF IT HAS NOT DONE SO ALREADY,
PROPERTIES THAT HAVE RECEIVED THREE (3) OR MORE CODE
ENFORCEMENT TICKETS/CITATIONS FOR THE SAME VIOLATION OF THE CODE
OF THE CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA, AS AMENDED, WITHIN A ONE (1) YEAR
PERIOD.
WHEREAS, certain property owners fail to maintain the facades, premises or structures of
their real property located within the City of Miami ("City"); and
WHEREAS, other residents of the City are negatively impacted by these failures to abide by
the Code of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended ("City Code"), which affects the health, safety and
welfare of the residents of the City; and
WHEREAS, many of these violators are given repeated civil infraction citations and continue
to commit the violations time and time again; and
WHEREAS, under the current City Code, properties that receive repeat citations are not
subject to any greater penalty than those who are first time offenders; and
WHEREAS, the City Administration has the discretion to refer these continually offending
properties to a hearing before the Code Enforcement Board ("Board") or the special master rather
than issue a civil infraction/ ticket; and
WHEREAS, the Board or special master has the ability to assess per diem fines, mandate
stricter compliance, and designate the owners of these properties as repeat violators, thus allowing
for higher penalties; and
WHEREAS, the Code Compliance Department is directed to automatically send violators who
have had three (3) citations for the same violation within a one (1) year period to the Board or special
master for further hearing;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI, FLORIDA:
