The magistrate was scheduled to sort through more than 20 violation cases, from grass parking to an unpermitted downtown mural, and decide who owes fines and who gets liens reduced. Residential cases could mean real money for homeowners on streets like Larry Drive and Plymouth Avenue.

Five cases were scheduled for lien reduction requests, meaning owners asked the magistrate to lower fines already owed. How these are decided affects how much debt stays attached to properties in older cases.

Old business included fine/lien hearings for the hospital property on S. Woodland Blvd and the Duazo property on W. Calvin St, plus compliance orders at 708 Wood St with $25,000 due. Liens attach to the property and can block sales or refinancing.
