DEADY, P.A. +'�* +Of Connsei MEMORANDUM , TO: Mayor Brennan; Vice Mayor Arena; Council Members D'Ambra, Okun and � Paterno; and Village Manager Couz ' FROM: Village Attorney Keith W. Davis, Esq.' DATE: February 3, 2015 RE; Fareclosure of Code Gompliance Lien; 414 Cypress Drive #D, Case No. 2012-79 On December 18, 2014, the Code Compliance Special Magistrate entered an Order , Authc�rizing Foreclosure of the code cornpliance lien recorded against the above referenced � property in the Village. The entry of this Order is a ministerial act and a statutvey eondition precedent ta the Village filing suit to foreclose its existing code compliance lien. The Village's lien amounts to $6,244.22. The Village previously abated the health, safety, welfare violations � which brought the property into technical eompliance with minimum property standard code regulations. The owners of the property do not reside in the unit {or even in Florida, to our knowledge). The urut has neither electricity nor runr�ing water. From time to time, there have , been occupants in the unit despite its condition. The occupants have claimed to be in the unit ; with the owners' permission, however, this cannot be verified. The fact that there has be�n � occupancy despite the presence 4f electricity and running water has been reported to the health ; department, whieh has declined to act. There have been complaints from residents of ; neighboring units regarding the presence of the occupants. { � The presence of superior liens on the praperty is in question. A cursory review af the ? public records reveals two mortgages an the subject property, both of wluch appear to have been ( � � 1 � � t I sa#isfied. If it turns out that there is a superior mortgage, foreclosure would be subj�ct to that ` i superior debt. There also appear to be outstanding POA dues. This all will need to be verifzed ; through a formal title search prior to filing any foreclosure actian, should that be the direction the , Council desires tt� move in. , Outward appearances are that the owners have abandoned their interest in the property. ; If this is the case, they may not challenge a fQrectosure action, in which case tl�e process will be relatively brief and will be much Iess costly than a challenged foreclosure. In the event that the ° Council directs fareclosure to be commenced, and the Village is suceessfut in its lawsuit, we � would be entitled to recover the full value of our lien, plus fees and costs associated with the foreclosure itself. Recovery wcrutd oceur via judicial sale of the property. Council approval to commence a formal title search andlor foreclosure proceedings is sought in this case. ; f i 2 � ; i �1-29-' 15 16:15 FR4M- T-286 P0002{0(M?3 F-177 ; . .. .,� � , , .� � i '� ' ' j I . t M�RE�Y C�RTtFY 1'H� ABQVE ANC � � F�1t7' �Q{S�I�It� IS A TRUE A�E�3 tiOF�'fi�t:'f i COPY APP�ARI�IG FR�M TH� RECORD; i IN THE VtlLAGE CI.�RK'5 ��iG� Vt1.LAQE 1 ..
