Special Magistrate Meeting 08-06-2026 01:30 PM

The City of Delray Beach held a Special Magistrate Meeting on August 6, 2026, focusing primarily on code enforcement violations related to property maintenance and unpermitted activities. Key procurement-related discussions included the assessment of fines and compliance deadlines for property owners who failed to obtain required permits for structures or special events. For example, a tiki hut was installed without a permit at 870 Bon Way, with the city granting a 60-day compliance period before daily fines could be imposed. Multiple violations at 341 Southeast 2nd Avenue involved unpermitted special events causing safety and traffic concerns; the magistrate imposed a total fine of $3,000, payable over six months. Another case at 601 East Atlantic Avenue involved building maintenance issues, with a 60-day compliance deadline and potential daily fines of $150 thereafter. The meeting included discussions on permit application processes, enforcement policies, and payment arrangements for fines, emphasizing the city's intent to ensure compliance and public safety while allowing reasonable timeframes for remediation.
