📋 Organized Citation Log (Sample Extract)
| Date | Case Number | Type | Violation Summary | Address | Phase | Status |
| 10/01/2008 | CE08-03180 | Building Enforcement | Electrical work without permit – site lighting entire development | 1713 NW 72 Ave | Phase 3 | Closed |
| 03/01/2013 | CE13-00431 | Code Enforcement | All buildings/residences not being maintained | 1713 NW 72 Ave | Phase 3 | Closed |

Note: Full citation matrix includes 45+ confirmed entries with phase tagging, date, type, and outcome.
🔥 Strategic Implications:
- Phase 1 now confirmed with 14+ citations, disproving prior assumptions of zero enforcement.
- Phase 2 shows a recurring pattern of heavy enforcement, often during or following whistleblower activity.
- Phase 3 had citations, but no fines were issued, even when structural violations were involved.
- Phase 4 shows moderate citation frequency, with key records often resolved quietly.
- The 2013 citation targeting all buildings/residences illustrates systemic neglect long before cosmetic renovations were initiated.
⚠️ 2008 Disparity in Fines:
- In 2008, at least four citations for unpermitted structural work were issued to addresses now confirmed to be in Phase 4 (e.g., 1712, 1720, 1724 NW 71 Ave).
- Despite this, only Phase 2 was fined and burdened with enforcement follow-up and record escalation.
- Phase 1 citations were closed or resolved quietly, and Phase 3 received no fines at all despite being named in the site-wide electrical citation (CE08-03180).
- This supports the theory of targeted enforcement — where citations in Phases 1 and 4 were closed or quietly resolved, but Phase 2 owners were financially penalized, potentially to suppress dissent or protect city-aligned contractor interests.
Historical Oversight Failure (2008–2009)
- In 2008–2009, City of Plantation Building Inspector Adam Attah allegedly issued citations to contractors Gould Roofing and Vincent Pagan for unlicensed or substandard work performed on Phase 2 of Omega Villas. These violations were documented by the whistleblower in direct emails to DBPR and the City. Notably, no enforcement action was documented against similar work conducted on Phases 1, 3, or 4, raising concerns of selective enforcement.
- The Board’s legal counsel at the time — Frank Weinberg Black — allegedly informed residents that their law firm would “be addressing the City,” leading some residents to question whether informal communications may have influenced enforcement outcomes. No proof has emerged confirming that the remaining phases were inspected or cited.
- These events reinforce a long-standing concern: that selective enforcement, contractor favoritism, and legal shielding were already embedded into Omega Villas’ structural management culture well before the current remodeling crisis began.
📊 Narrative Chart Comparison: Enforcement History Across Omega Villas (2006–2025)
Phase 1 – The Quiet Corridor
- 14 total citations, mostly low-severity (“work without permit,” “demo work,” “uninhabitable”) spread over 18 years.
- Activity clusters in 2006–2008 and 2021–2024, but fines were minimal.
- Despite identical 40-Year Recertification requirements as other phases, no significant fines or public hearings were recorded.
🟩 Pattern: Intermittent enforcement with administrative closures — little financial pressure.
Phase 2 – The Epicenter of Enforcement
- 21 total citations and nearly all major fines ($993 K → $1.3 M) originate here.
- Repeated “non-compliance of 40-Year Program” citations between 2021–2025.
- City pursued cumulative enforcement even as other phases showed similar defects.
🟥 Pattern: Continuous, escalating enforcement — targeted and punitive.
Phase 3 – Minimal Oversight
- 6 citations across 18 years, many minor (rooster, weeds, garbage).
- Only one structural citation (2025 – Building Safety Program) despite shared construction.
🟦 Pattern: Sparse enforcement — possible selective non-action.
Phase 4 – The Early Violator, Later Protected
- 11 citations, most in 2008–2010 for unpermitted patio, roof, and stucco work.
- Received three new citations (2021–2024) during recertification, yet no fines comparable to Phase 2.
🟨 Pattern: Heavy early enforcement quietly closed; leniency in recent cycles.
📈 Aggregate View (2006–2025)
| Phase | Citations | Dominant Years | Dominant Type | Enforcement Character |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 14 | 2006–08 & 2021–24 | Building Enforcement | Low-impact routine citations |
| Phase 2 | 21 | 2008 & 2021–25 | Building Enforcement | High-intensity targeted enforcement |
| Phase 3 | 6 | 2007–25 | Code Enforcement | Minimal oversight |
| Phase 4 | 11 | 2008–10 & 2021–24 | Building Enforcement | Early violations closed quietly |
| Phase | Total Fines to Date (2025) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | $93,000 | Routine citations, no sustained enforcement follow-up |
| Phase 2 | $993,000 – $1.3 million | Continuous City enforcement, multiple active 40-Year recertification fines |
| Phase 3 | $93,000 | Occasional code or maintenance citations only |
| Phase 4 | $93,000 | Early unpermitted work, later closed quietly |
This means Phase 2 carries over 75 % of the community’s total penalties, even though violations were community-wide.
🔍 Narrative Summary
From 2006 to 2025, Phase 2 consistently drew the majority of structural citations and fines, even though similar violations were documented in the other phases.
This selective focus created a financial imbalance where one subset of homeowners carried the burden for community-wide defects — reinforcing the case for unequal enforcement and potential administrative bias.
💰 But the Fine Weight Is the Difference
Phase 2’s citations became enforcement cases that accumulated fines approaching $1 million +, whereas:
- Phase 1 and 4 cases were “closed/complied.”
- Phase 3 electrical and roof issues were never fined.
📎 Supporting Evidence for:
- DBPR enforcement inaction
- City of Plantation regulatory inconsistency
- Apparent coordination or overlapping relationships between HOA vendors and City enforcement decisions
- Potential elements of organized, retaliatory control via code enforcement
- Cross-reference Exhibit S (Historic Neglect), S-3 (Electrical CE08-03180), and T (Furring Strips).
Exhibit V compiles public records from the City of Plantation showing a fifteen-year pattern of inconsistent enforcement and maintenance oversight at Omega Villas. These records illustrate how long-term neglect and uneven code enforcement contributed to current construction and financial disputes.
