Summary of Proceedings

Miami Nuisance Abatement Board Meeting - May 27, 2026

The Miami Nuisance Abatement Board convened on May 27, 2026, to address six nuisance abatement cases, including status updates and hearings. The board also elected a chair and vice chair (carried over from the Code Enforcement Board) and heard from city officials and property owners.

Election of Chair and Vice Chair

  • The board nominated and unanimously approved keeping the same chair and vice chair as the Code Enforcement Board.

Case Status Updates (Compliance and Non-Compliance)

  • 1278 NW 58th Terrace (Owner: Raul Cosio): Officer Lawson testified the property is non-compliant and non-communicative since a December 2025 order. The city moved for a $500 fine and a status reset to June 24, 2026. Motion carried.
  • 611 NW 65th Street (Owner: Emmanuel O'BC): Officer Lawson reported full compliance with the December 2025 order, eviction of prior tenants, property repairs, and a new lease. No new complaints. The city moved to terminate the order. Motion carried.
  • 1283 NW 59th Street (Owner: Najib Iqbal): Non-compliant with no contact. The board imposed a $500 fine and reset for June 24, 2026. Motion carried.
  • 1969 NW 2nd Court, Apt. 13 (Owner: Wynwood Apartments LLC): Previously in full compliance, but no update available. The city requested a 30-day reset to June 24, 2026. Motion carried.

Case Hearings

  • 1506 NW 70th Street (Owner: Samuel L. Johnson Jr.): The property was cited for three controlled purchases of fentanyl ($40 each) in February-March 2026, and a search warrant yielded 21 capsules of suspected fentanyl, 31 pills of suspected Xanax, loose rock cocaine, currency, and a digital scale. The owner pleaded guilty. The city recommended conditions: meet with the neighborhood resource officer within one week, remove all landscaping interfering with line of sight within 30 days, execute a trespass affidavit within one week, install no-trespass signs within 30 days, provide adequate lighting, and provide rent rolls with vehicle information and tag numbers. The board found guilt and reset for 60 days to July 22, 2026. Motion carried.
  • 4825 NW 15th Court (Owner: G&J Property Masters, represented by Attorney Arnold Skip Strauss): The property is within 1,000 feet of a school. The attorney reported pre-hearing compliance (security, no-trespass signs). The city requested a 30-day reset to June 24, 2026, to allow further compliance or potential withdrawal. Motion carried.

Key Outcomes

  • Fines of $500 were imposed on two non-compliant properties (1278 NW 58th Terrace and 1283 NW 59th Street).
  • One case (611 NW 65th Street) was closed due to full compliance.
  • Two cases (1506 NW 70th Street and 4825 NW 15th Court) were reset for compliance monitoring.
  • The board acknowledged the city attorney's final hearing (Mr. Foreman transitioning to Ms. Dooley).
  • Next meeting scheduled for June 24, 2026.
