HE STATED THAT WE ENJOINED HIM FROM CONTINUING WITHOUT A PERMIT AND HAD THE STRUCTURE DECLARED HAZARDOUS AND GAVE HIM 90 DAYS TO EITHER FIX IT UP OR TEAR IT DOWN, AND THE COURT DID ENTER AN ORDER REQUIRING THAT IT BE TORN DOWN. THE ATTORNEY CONTINUED THAT WE HAVE TWO AVENUES OF APPROACH - HAZARDOUS STRUCTURES AND CONTEMPT OF COURT FOR FAILURE TO TEAR THE BUILDING DOWN AS REQUIRED. DR. FENNER CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AND STATED THAT HE HADN'T RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE WITH RESPECT TO THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY WERE IN THE PROCESS ABOUT THE 5TH OF FEBRUARY OF CLEANING UP THE HURRICANE DAMAGE WHEN A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT BROUGHT TO HIS CONTRACTOR S ATTENTION THAT THERE WAS SOME CORRESPONDENCE HE HAD NOT RECEIVED. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT ASKED DR. FENNER IF HE WAS AWARE OF THE COURT ORDER, AND DR. FENNER STATED HE DID NOT KNOW OF THIS. ATTORNEY COLLINS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT DR. FENNER WAS PRESENT AT THE COURT AND DID RECEIVE A NOTICE, AND DR. FENNER STATED THAT IF HE WAS REFERRING TO 1975, HE WAS AWARE OF THAT. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT ASKED IF HE REMEMBERED BEING GIVEN 90 DAYS BY THE COURT TO REMOVE THE STRUCTURE. 52 MAR 51980acF
