Code Enforcement Special Magistrate Hearing - 7/13/2026 - 1:00 p.m.

The City of Titusville held a Code Enforcement Special Magistrate Hearing on July 13, 2026, addressing multiple property code violations across several cases. Key procurement-related discussions involved the Applewood Apartments LLC (Kennedy Point Marina) case, where extensive structural repairs requiring licensed contractors and permits were underway. The respondent detailed contracts with ESJ Construction Group and licensed electrical and plumbing contractors, with permits submitted but not yet approved. The magistrate granted a 90-day extension to complete corrections before fines would be imposed. Other cases involved violations such as overgrowth, junk and debris, and unpermitted structures, with administrative fees and daily fines proposed if compliance deadlines were missed. A significant lean reduction request was also discussed for a property with outstanding fines, resulting in a substantial reduction of daily fines from over $154,000 to $1,000 plus city costs, considering the owner's financial hardship and corrective actions. The hearing emphasized enforcement of city codes, timelines for compliance, and the necessity of proper permits and licensed contractors for repairs, impacting future procurement and contracting activities within the city.
