Hi Renee,
Hope all is well on your end. I am requesting all of the code violations for the past 3 months for Gulf Stream,
not a specific address but all of the addresses that have received a violation, or have an open violation. I have
tried to locate the information online to no avail unfortunately.
I am doing some research for a college project where I need to study the relationship between demographics
and code violations.
In accordance with the Freedom of Information Act to obtain records from Florida public governmental bodies
I am requesting a list of all property addresses who have received or have active open status code violations
and order to vacate for the past 3 months beginning October 1st, 2023.
Please include any and all available information for the most recent account holder as well. Please let me
know who I can reach out to in regards to this matter. Thank you for your time and help, I truly appreciate it.
