39. Non-Compliance:

Special Magistrate Hearing · 2026-05-29 · agenda_item

A Special Magistrate Hearing for the City of Fort Myers will address a non-compliance case regarding construction at 2220 Towles Street. The property owner, Wilhelm Dawn + Wilhelm Madison, was cited for requiring a construction permit (BLDR-043461-2024) and found in violation. The property owner was ordered to correct all violations by May 20, 2026, with a daily fine of $200.00 imposed thereafter, capped at $10,000.00. A subsequent hearing is scheduled for May 29, 2026, to review compliance. This case involves addressing a past construction permit requirement, which may necessitate obtaining the correct permits, performing necessary construction work, and potentially site cleanup or remediation to meet code. Contractors and suppliers involved in construction, permitting, and code compliance services could find opportunities related to resolving this violation. Engaging early before final site plans or permits are settled could provide an advantage in addressing the property's needs.
