Everybody here tonight is here for the first time to have their case adjudicated. There are two folks here that are here for mitigation, and there's one here for status. When your case is called up, please come to the podium and state your name, the address, and whether the property is guilty or not guilty. If you plead the property guilty, the city will put on a short synopsis of what the violation was and the nature of the violation. The board will determine how many days you need to comply and will determine the per diem amount. If it is a residential property, it's up to 250. If it is a non-residential commercial property, it's up to a thousand dollars. If you're a repeat violator, the board can issue a fine of up to 500 for residential and $5,000 for non-residential commercial property. If you plead not guilty, the city will put on its case, you will be afforded an opportunity to put on your defense. So long as you request additional time before the amount of days to to comply has expired, there will be no per diem violation against the property. But if you miss that and you don't ask for an extension of time before your time to comply has expired, that's when your daily fines will start running. So make sure you take that piece of paper and request additional time. Case number CE201 801 8603. Property address 1644 Northwest Eighth Terrace. The minimum is $7500 for this.
