OWNER: Ft. Pierce Petroleum LLC 11621 SW 101st Street Miami, FL 33176

OCCUPIED BY:

Section: 5-1.105.1 Permit Required
Section 16-46, 16-47, 16-48 Nuisance as a Condition
Section 16-46, 16-47, 16-48 Nuisance as an Object

• November 7, 2017 - Special Magistrate found Ft. Pierce Petroleum LLC in violation and ordered that they obtain a permit for the gas station renovation and remove and / or treat standing water to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes.
• June 13, 2013 - Special Magistrate signed an amended order that, in addition to the requirements specified in the November 7, 2017 order, required all conditions of the permit to be complied with and extended the date of compliance to July 31, 2013.

• October 14, 2013 - Due to non-compliance, a daily fine in the amount of $250.00 commenced.
• October 29, 2013 - The Building Official signed a Notice of Unsafe Building, which was filed with the St. Lucie County Clerk of Courts in Book 3577 Page 181.
• January 24, 2014 - An Order Assessing Fine and Imposing Lien was signed by the Special Magistrate and recorded in Book 3599 Page 915.

The criteria of FL S.S. 162.09 allow the Special Magistrate to authorize the local governing body attorney to foreclose on the lien. The City of Fort Pierce Code of Ordinances Sec. 2-247 provides the Special Magistrate to authorize the City Attorney to foreclose on a lien one year after the lien has been filed and remains unpaid.

As both requirements have been met, staff recommends the Special Magistrate to authorize the City Attorney to commence foreclosure proceedings.
