Request an Extension of Time Hearing for Code Enforcement Case

Are you a property owner with an open Code Enforcement case where the violation is 'not complied' (has not been fully corrected) and would like to request more time from the Code Enforcement Board to correct the violation?  The City of Miami understands that you may need more time to address your code violations. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Extension of time requests are ONLY to be used for property violations that have already been adjudicated before the Code Boards or Special Magistrate. If you need to request a continuance of a case set for an adjudicatory hearing before the Code Board or Special Magistrate, please contact via email or telephone the issuing Inspector at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled hearing date.
