Issue: DS 2014-042. Petitioner Chad Altieri, Esq. of Law Office of Altieri & Associates, seeks Declaratory Statement with regard to homeowners making unpermitted additions, modifications and remodeling to their properties, and thereby making such structures unsafe.

553.775 Interpretations. — Florida Statutes

(e) Local decisions declaring structures to be unsafe and subject to repair or demolition are not subject to review under this subsection and may not be appealed to the commission if the local governing body finds that there is an immediate danger to the health and safety of the public.

Note: The Commission has no authority to address issues with regard to unsafe structures and therefore staff recommends that the said request be dismissed.
