Case #: ENV26-0072 (RM)  
Chief Code Official Dale Hollingsworth presented the case stated that the original case  
was presented and prosecuted by the Special Magistrate on March 25, 2026 during that  
time it was discussed about the frequency of the clean up and maintenance of the  
property. The property has continued to be non compliant. Mr. Hollingsworth stated that  
the reason for the hearing now is to stay with the previous order that was prosecuted as a  
repeat violator due to the lack of the up keep of the property, fines are still accruing as of  
today and the property remains non compliant. Mr. Hollingsworth asked the board to  
agree and pose that fines continue to run as a repeat violator.  
Nidal Bourghannam Po box 358627 Gainesville, Fl. 32635 appeared as the property  
owner. Mr. Bourghannam testified that every time they received a notice they sent  
someone out to clean the property and sent pictures to the inspector and that by the time  
the inspector would get to the property there would be more trash. Mr. Bourghannam  
state that since a month ago they have hired a janitorial and her job is to pick up trash  
every day and a landscaping company goes out 3 times a week to cut the lawn, change  
out garbage cans and pick up trash. Mr. Bourghannam stated that they are not ignoring  
the problem they take action and when the problem is taking care of they send pictures to  
code enforcement. He stated that he is not sure of what else he can do, because the  
property is being taken care of. Inspector Robert Moore stated that the pictres that are  
sent to him he does look at but he has to use the pictures he take because they are date  
stamped and have the city logo on them. Mr. Boughannam asked inspector Moore can  
you see when you go out that the problem has been taken care of, Mr. Moore stated that  
the property has definitely gotten better. Mr. Bourghannam stated again to the board that  
he has hired a girl to pick up the trash and they are doing every thing they can to solve  
the problem.
