New permits prohibited, non-homestead properties.
Miami City Code § 2-208
in effectSec. 2-208. - New permits prohibited, non-homestead properties.
Permits may not be issued for a non-homestead property with any outstanding building department violations except that permits required to cure life safety issues, permits which are required to bring outstanding violations into compliance, permits for units within buildings to which such violations or monies owed are not attributable to the permit applicant or permits for any properties owned by a governmental entity are exempted from this prohibition. If a permit required to cure an existing violation has been applied for, with a complete application that is being reviewed by the appropriate department, additional permits may be issued for the property that is the subject of violations or monies owed. Additional permits issued are conditioned to prohibit the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or completion (including temporary or partial certificates of occupancy or completion) until the permit to cure the original outstanding building violation has been finalized and closed and all monies owed, inclusive of costs, to the city are paid. Any exemption listed herein may not be utilized for multi-unit structures wherein the violation has created a life safety issue for either the adjacent units or the structure in its entirety.
