Corradino Cc: Mitchell Bierman; Yocelyn Galiano (OVM); Mitchell Bierman (OVA); The Honorable Ariel Meyer; The Honorable Jerry Greenberg; sprado@pinecrest-fl.gov; The Honorable Ken Fairman; Barbara Silberman Subject: Re: Code violations and hypocrisy remodels a home completely without permits, fills in a pool without permits and who knows what is in the ground that he filled in when he filled the pool in. He received a permit to bulldoze the house, which he is doing today and he manages to steal thousands of dollars from the city of Pinecrest by not pulling permits and renting the home for a year and half in “unsafe electrical condition” while he was getting the architecture and engineering done so he can now build a “meg-mansion” and sell for considerable profit. You and your staff do nothing about this except sit on your fat lazy asses and collect paychecks pretending to want our city to be lawful and better run than unincorporated Dade County. I needed to put up a fence to keep my dogs in and had to have permits pulled, multiple inspections and you required a certain color and size of the fencing, specific height, self-locking gates and even required a hedge to be planted 24" apart and 36” tall from a list of choices from the City on the inside of the fence, which by the way an inspector came out to measure. The hypocrisy and stink are overwhelming and maybe what should be investigated is who did pay off in your circle to manage this profitable scam? It cost me an additional $5,000 to accommodate your requirements for the fence over and above a standard chain link fence and this creep is going to make several hundred thousand dollars by skating around your system and laughing at everyone. The system is broken and the worst part about it is that you are allowing it to be broken, while conducting your days jobs and walking around with titles of “Honorable” to use as cocktail hour fodder.

It appears that is now bulldozing the home at . His crews are there setting it up for demolition and is this an indicator that nothing happens to those that have influence and skate around the laws and permitting process in the Village of Pinecrest?

It’s not often we receive something with this level of elegance. I can assure you that everyone is treated the same in Pinecrest. Neither ones birth position at a hospital nor ones net worth have anything to do with code enforcement matters. 4 During that period, he violated many of the covenants and obligations of the lease, but those are being handled by attorneys and are not relevant to the city. What is relevant is that he remodeled the house, filled in the pool and all of this without one permit and to make the matters worse she had a licensed electrician come through because there had been some electrical issues towards the end of the lease that had her concerned for her safety and they found that the wiring that was not up to code was also a danger and could have caused a destructive and dangerous fire. is “builder and developer” according to his biography at his place of employment, The Related Group, as President of the HUD division for the community leader and philanthropist Jorge Perez. The village inspector who came for the final inspection of the fence, was told about this and expressed to my girlfriend that with proof this could in turn, become a civil matter for the city and possibly criminal action, if he knowingly put her and the neighborhood in a dangerous spot by intentionally wiring the house with faulty and dangerous electrical. She took pictures and videos of the entire property along with aerial shots of before and after to your city offices and met with code enforcement. This is where the hypocrisy takes full bloom. She was told that he will get, if anything, a small fine and since he is going to bulldoze the home and build a new home for spec there’s nothing the city can do. So, what you are saying is following the rules only applies to those who want to follow the rules and if you choose to not then the city looks the other way! If the president of a HUD division is skating around the laws because, maybe he knows there’s nothing he can get in trouble for, what is he doing with those HUD homes and even worse than that, what if that home she rented burned down and possibly killed her and or the neighbors surrounding it? Isn’t this the purpose of codes and code enforcement, to prevent things like this from happening and punish those who refuse to follow? How many others are doing the exact same thing? The city was so determined to get the 450 feet of fencing just perfect, but does nothing to a man who remodels an entire home in dangerous ways and even fills in a pool with what? Considering there was no inspection, he could have toxic materials hidden in it. This shows not only the hypocrisy, but the danger the city is allowing by looking the other way when people take advantage of the rules for personal financial gain. This is a fixable problem unlike many others that carry far more time and resources to change. This man should be heavily penalized and investigated for his illegal activities, considering he cannot make the claim of being naive like most homeowners do. He cannot say to the city that he didn’t know better as the president of a HUD division for one of Miami’s biggest real estate developers and the previous president of the Latin Builder’s Association. 5 Or maybe the city looks the other way when wealthy entitled individuals cross the lines and the average resident is required to pay triple to meet the codes!
