DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On November 12, 2014, a Code Enforcement Board (CEB) lien was recorded against Joyce M Lockridge, Est. for having an accumulation of junk on the 0.38-acre property located at 3090 NE 163rd Place, Citra. In November 2018, a Certification and Claim of Lien was recorded for an unsafe structure and junk abatement conducted on the property that has been accruing interest. In October 2018, Florida Land Asset Management, LLC purchased the property via a tax deed sale. Bedford Greene submitted two requests for reduction/rescission of the liens in February 2025 and paid $500 application fees.
On May 14, 2025, Mr. Greene’s request for a reduction/rescission of the CEB lien came before the Code Enforcement Board. The Code Board moved to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve a rescission of the CEB lien upon payment of the administrative/case costs. The CEB does not make recommendations for abatement liens. Interest on the abatement lien is shown below, calculated at the varying rate and four (4) percent.
