There were three code warnings and two code violations issued within the gated community this
week. The warnings consisted of two warnings for maintenance and appearance of residential
landscaping. The third warning was issued for a palm tree obstructing a stop sign. The first violation

an inspector responded and issued a stop work order. The final violation within the gated
community was issued to a construction site for its maintenance and appearance.
Additionally, there was one code warning and three code violations issued to beachfront properties
this week. The code warning was issued to the Bal Harbour 101 after investigating a complaint of
a dumpster being picked up before the permitted work hours. In conjunction with the Building
Department, the St. Regis property was issued a code violation and stop work order after
unpermitted construction work was discovered. The Plaza property was issued a code violation for
a repeat offense of working without the proper dust mitigation safeguards. A stop work order was
issued to the Plaza management and a Building Department Inspector responded to the location.

An elderly Bal Harbour resident received a call from a man who identified himself as the victim's
godson advising that he had been involved in an accident and was being held for suspicion of
Driving Under the Influence. The caller directed the victim to contact a third party, an attorney, who
instructed the victim to wire transfer money in order to bail the godson out of jail. The victim
transferred 1,700 dollars as instructed. The victim later realized that she had been defrauded and
contacted Western Union, she was able to cancel the transaction and receive a refund. A Bal
Harbour officer escorted the victim to the Publix (Western Union) in Surfside in order to ensure that
she received her refund successfully. II
