Thanks for posting - a good way for ordinary citizens to make a difference is to post violations like this!

Thanks Dawn.. I posted these photos to get feedback from anyone who knows what steps we residents need to take to get something done about this mess!When you enter the beach at the access up from the creamery it is the first thing one sees. It’s insulting to the rest of Blue Mountain Beach!

Thanks leeboy...I have said the same thing. The “code enforcers” ride up and down the beach every day passing by that house for YEARS. They’re a joke

And wouldn't it be great to know what happens after a complaint is filed? Does anyone know if the county has a closed loop process for handling these situations?

It was posted on another thread that the property is for sale.

The current owner of that property is responsible for the code compliance of the property. The county should add fines every day. Fines become a lien on the property and it can't be sold until the lien is paid.

The info should be available, at least to the one who filed the complaint. and probably for all under freedom of information act - sunshine laws.

Hey everyone… I just filed a complaint with the CODE ENFORCEMENT via the Geoform and also submitted all of the photos. Please everyone who is able to file the same report please do so we really need to become proactive get action on some of these issues that are not being addressed.

Unusual first post yes, but you’ve got to start somewhere right? I was recently acquainted with this forum which I discovered while searching for information regarding the beach access controversy (I felt obliged to educate myself on the matter by reading what the residents in the area were saying). Long story short, here I am. My wife and I own a condominium at Sanctuary At Redfish. I’ve seen the property shown in the pics first hand and agree that the condition of the beach area is...shall we say “out of place” with the rest of the Blue Mountain beach front...to put it nicely. It appears there’s a lot of skepticism about the local ordinances being enforced so I thought I’d offer a possible avenue for residents to express their concerns directly to the homeowners. I know if I received several letters regarding the condition of property I own, I would be compelled to rectify the situation.
Thanks to everyone on this forum. I’ve been reading various threads and I’ve learned a lot. My wife and I absolutely love Blue Mountain Beach and the area. It’s our intention to retire to the area. We’re encouraged to see good people taking an active role in their community.

Damn those pictures look really saddening given how much beauty there is around the area. I'm not even sure that it will work but I'm definitely filing a report as well! Hope for the best

We called the doctors house “The Pepto House”

We rented this house about 1991. It had the same owner then who used to be an IBM rep. Since we were there, they added a second story.

I believe this is near Huckabee's house. Curiously, we witnessed an incident similar to the one Mr Huckabee described in the Pensacola paper, but this time without a Yolo board.

Have you seen this house in the last ten years? It’s shameful!
