Special Magistrate Hearing - 08/05/2026

The Special Magistrate Hearing for the City of North Miami held on August 5, 2026, primarily addressed code compliance violations related to property permits, unsafe conditions, and business licensing. Several cases involved property owners failing to obtain or renew necessary building permits for fences, windows, decks, and other construction work, resulting in fines and abatement orders. The magistrate granted extensions in some cases, typically 30 days, for property owners to apply for permits or secure their properties, with daily fines imposed for noncompliance. Discussions included coordination with city departments such as building, licensing, and legal counsel, and emphasized securing properties with fencing and boarding within five business days. No new contract awards, RFPs, or procurement decisions were made during this hearing, as the focus was on enforcement of existing code violations and compliance deadlines.
