Hours after Irma, Miami-Dade issues code warnings

[Chris0nllyn]

Monday morning, Irma had passed and it was clear. At 9 a.m., Celso and his neighbors went outside to get to work.

Later Monday afternoon, as Celso was clearing the tree branches, a car pulled up from Miami-Dade County…

Celso was told he got the warning was because the fence Irma knocked over made it easy to access his pool and he needed to fix that.

After Irma, the county handed out 680 pool barrier safety notices and 177 electrical hazard safety notices to homeowners suffering damage from Irma.

The county stood by their decision to hand out these notices right after Irma.

A building official wrote, “The safety notice is neither a notice of violation warning nor a citation. It is important that we reach residents in the immediate aftermath of the storm, because that is when conditions are most dangerous, and taking steps to protect life is a critical part of the recovery process.”

Sounds to me like they sent one to just about everyone who had a pool whether the fence was down or not. I doubt they had time to look at each one they sent a notice to.
