FL Residents Warned They\u2019ll Be Ticketed for Hurricane-Damaged Homes<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

(<\/b>ANTIMEDIA<\/b><\/a>)<\/b>\u00a0Miami-Dade County, FL \u2014<\/i>\u00a0At a time when South Floridians rocked by Hurricane Irma were still surveying the damage to their properties, the county of Miami-Dade apparently thought it appropriate to begin handing out safety notices.<\/p>\n

\n

Celso Perez\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0local\u00a0WSVN-TV<\/i>\u00a0that he, his family, and his neighbors were starting to clear fallen trees from the streets after the storm passed through at nine in the morning on Monday. Hours later, in the afternoon, Perez got a visit from the county.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cAnd we thought he was here to help us or offer some type of assistance with the trees, maybe he was going to bring us ice or something,\u201d<\/i>\u00a0Perez told\u00a0WSVN<\/i>. Instead, the official slapped a safety notice on the only part of Perez\u2019s fence still standing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI laughed,\u201d<\/i>\u00a0he said.\u00a0\u201cI thought he was kidding. \u2018You are kidding right? We just had a hurricane six hours ago.\u2019 \u2018No, I\u2019m not kidding. I have to cite you for this.\u2019 I just laughed. OK, whatever; knock yourself out!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

But Perez stopped laughing when the official told him he would be writing up a report and would be back to check on the property. Perez told\u00a0WSVN<\/i>\u00a0that the man said he\u2019d\u00a0\u201chave to write me a fine\u201d<\/i>\u00a0if the fence wasn\u2019t up to code by then.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the time this officer was out here, we didn\u2019t have power, we didn\u2019t have food, we didn\u2019t have ice. He is crazy, ridiculous,\u201d<\/i>\u00a0Perez said, adding that\u00a0\u201cit\u2019s not like I can go to Home Depot\u201d<\/i>\u00a0because all the stores were closed.<\/p>\n

The South Floridian says he understands that there is a lot of work that needs to be done but that the county\u2019s rush to issue warnings was inappropriate:<\/p>\n
