‘Deplorable’ Property Moves Towards Foreclosure
By John Hayden

“I’m flabbergasted.” Those are the words of Wilton Manors Mayor Scott Newton about a property owner’s request for more time to address code violations.
The embattled Wilton Pointe apartments, which sit in the 2600 block of north Andrews Ave., has a history of major violations and being out of compliance with city code. It’s been cited for mold, drywall issues, ineffective roofing, ventilation and more.
The property has racked up a series of violations over several years, and fines to the city exceed $200,000.
A lawyer for the owner showed up and asked for another month, saying that they may soon have financing for the roof.
Commissioner Chris Caputo pointed out that there are still other major issues even if the roof came into compliance.
“I don’t understand how you can neglect a property for so long and then come to us and say give us another 30 days,” Commissioner Don D’Arminio said.
The process is slow, and real progress isn’t expected until mid-July.
