Special Magistrate 06-04-2026 01:30 PM

The City of Delray Beach held a Special Magistrate code enforcement hearing on June 4, 2026, addressing multiple property violations primarily related to building permits, maintenance of historic properties, business tax receipts, and vehicle encroachments. Several cases involved property owners who failed to obtain required permits for construction or alterations, with fines proposed at $50 to $250 per day if compliance was not met by specified deadlines, typically around July 4, 2026. The magistrate approved agreements granting additional time for compliance in some cases and imposed liens or daily fines in others. Notably, a historic property at 226 South Ocean Boulevard was found to be deteriorating, with a $100 daily fine proposed if repairs were not completed by July 4. Business operations without proper tax receipts were also addressed, with fines set and compliance deadlines given. One case involved a property owner starting the permit process after an addition was built without permits, resulting in a $4,500 lien and a stay on further fines pending compliance. The meeting also included a status update on a complex case involving bankruptcy and eviction, with no new orders issued. Overall, the hearing focused on enforcing city codes through fines and compliance deadlines to ensure property maintenance and legal business operations.
