36. Non-Compliance

Code Enforcement Board · 2026-08-13 · agenda_item

A property at 3343 Fowler Street, known as Fowler Shopping Plaza, is under review by the City of Fort Myers Code Enforcement Board. The property owner, Okab Walid Tr for Fowler Shopping Plaza Land Trust, was cited for construction without a required permit. The case was initiated on October 28, 2025, with a notice of violation served on February 25, 2026. The Code Enforcement Board has found the property in violation and ordered abatement by August 10, 2026, with daily fines imposed thereafter if compliance is not met. A subsequent hearing on August 13, 2026, will determine if the violations have been corrected. This situation indicates a need for proper permitting and potentially construction or repair work to bring the property into compliance. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in future work related to permitting, construction, or remediation should monitor this case and consider reaching out to the property owner or relevant city departments to understand potential future needs as the compliance deadline approaches.
