Hello Mayor Young Hope this email finds you well I am writing on behalf of my friend Dr Tony Abbassi a Vero Beach Property Owner who was unfortunately mixed up unbeknownst to him in a city fine issue because his property manager was not aware of the citys rental policy As Dr Abbassi and his wife are very busy running the Primary Care Practice they hired a Property Management Company to rent the property and they inappropriately rented the property through Short term rentals Dr Abbassi was not aware and furthermore the notices kept going to a property they no longer owned Therefore the notices were not received and the fines kept increasing
We have been in communication with the City Manager Mr Falls and in his email that I am attaching below he said to send an offer to reduce the fine to be considered in the next City Council Meeting Attached please find said offer As time is of the essence and with a storm looming we would like for you to have the offer as well and hope that you consider this case to be heard at the next City Council Meeting on August 18
Dr Abbassi is a pillar of the community and has never turned away from anyone in their time of need Hopefully the City of Vero Beach will do the same during these difficult times
We look forward to hearing from you to make this happen
Best

Re Dr Tony and Lorangel Abbassi CASE 17-CE-7330 I 1034M Case 18-CE-8775 1508M - Request for Amendment of Penalty for Violations at 3766 Ocean Drive Vero Beach Florida 32963
Dear City Manager Falls
Pursuant to your email instructions of July 22 2020 we respectfully request that the City Council consider an amendment to the amount due of approximately $428000 as established by the Code Enforcement Board As you can see in your files we have already paid the fine for the lighting 1470M18-CE-8702
As context under Section 775 083 ofthe Florida Statutes if a criminal is convicted ofa life felony (such as murder) the fine imposed is $15000 If a criminal is convicted of a first-degree felony (such as rape) the fine is $10000 If there is a pecuniary gain from the offense the maximum penalty that is to be imposed is double the pecuniary gain derived from the offense
As you can see from the attached statement from Global Retreats the management company that was supposed to manage the property in accordance with the law the property derived total rental income of $74300 for the years 2017-20 I 8 and beginning 2019 This is the relevant time period of the offense
Using the double the pecuniary gain derived from the offense standard articulated by the Florida Statutes and the Florida Constitution based on the gain it would be unfair and manifestly unjust to impose a fine upon us of any more than $150000 I cite this statute not to say that the council acted unlawfully but to provide you with some perspective as to how unfair it is that my fine is more than twice and larger than if I committed a crime and in this case it was a civil infraction
We had a mortgage of $18 million on the property and when we sold the house we had an insurmountable debt due to the mortgage payments utilities maintenance taxes and insurance When the house was sold we had to borrow additional money to pay for the closing commission and back-payments for utilities We are now in a dire financial situation when taking into consideration the mortgage and all of the expenses associated with the house (including the fine)
In addition for the last 5 months our primary care practice has been completely disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and we have been concentrating solely on treating patients in hospitals stricken with COVID-19 at far less revenue to our medical practice
We are respectfully requesting the imposition of a reasonable adjustment to the fine imposed by the City Council that is consistent with the letter and the spirit of the Florida Statutes and the Florida Constitution We are very reputable individuals who simply never received the Citys notices Had the notices gone directly to our residence there is zero doubt that we would have taken care of the problem that the Property Management company caused We gave them the house to rent and unbeknownst to us the property manager was renting the property in an unauthorized manner
During this whole time we were very busy with our medical practice and we hired the property management company to take care of the rental property and trusted them to do the right thing We are law-abiding citizens with a spotless record (absent this fine) and a very well-respected medical practice that is beloved by our patients who we treat as our family members
As stated earlier this Vero Beach property had a great amount of debt that still has to be paid off
CONCLUSION
In sum we are offering to pay back double the pecuniary gain derived from the offense as contemplated by the Florida Statutes which in this case would be a $150000 settlement In addition I will gladly donate the remainder of the fine via donation of my time to the Treasure Coast Community Health Center in Vero Beach FL I am willing to work and provide 50 hours of medical consultations each year for the next 2 years at the Community Health Center to provide free high quality medical care to the people of Vero Beach FL who lack financial resources to receive this assistance
We believe we have put forward a good faith settlement that is fair and will have far more of a positive impact for the City of Vero Beach We respectfully ask that you exercise your discretion in an act of grace and forgiveness and grant an amendment to this fine and that you work with us to help us stay afloat during these very difficult times
Please let us know if you have any questions we can be reached at (305 )322-5944 We are also prepared to attend the August I 8th City Council meeting and would appreciate the opportunity to speak to the Council and answer any questions
Sincerely
Dr Tony Abbassi and Mrs Lorange Abbassi

Hello Mr Falls Thank you and Mr Jeffries for your prompt response We Would like to know if there would be a way that the city council could pass a mitigation of the fine in exchange for services that Dr Abbassi could provide for the city of Vero Beach (perhaps community health center consultations)and or COVID-19 consultations We would like to find closure to this case as this has been very traumatic to Dr Abbassi who has already been under unprecedented stress treating COVID-19 cases at South Florida Hospitals We await your response

Dear City Manager Falls
Hope this message finds you well I am writing on behalf of my friend Dr Tony Abbassi a Vero Beach Property Owner who was unfortunately mixed up unbeknownst to him in a city fine issue because his property manager was not aware of the citys rental policy

Because Dr Abbassi has been working 247 fighting COVID-19 and saving patients in Miami he has not been able to reach out to you However I was wondering if we could please meet with you next week to discuss a reasonable accommodation to this quite unreasonable fine
Dr Abbassi is a pillar of the community and has never turned away from anyone in their time of need Hopefully the City of Vero Beach will do the same during these difficult times
I look forward to hearing from you to make this happen

Re Dr Tony and Lorangel Abbassi CASE 17-CE-7330 I 1034M Case 18-CE-8775 1508M - Request for Amendment of Penalty for Violations at 3766 Ocean Drive Vero Beach Florida 32963
Dear City Manager Falls
Pursuant to your email instructions of July 22 2020 we respectfully request that the City Council consider an amendment to the amount due of approximately $428000 as established by the Code Enforcement Board As you can see in your files we have already paid the fine for the lighting 1470M18-CE-8702
As context under Section 775 083 ofthe Florida Statutes if a criminal is convicted ofa life felony (such as murder) the fine imposed is $15000 If a criminal is convicted of a first-degree felony (such as rape) the fine is $10000 If there is a pecuniary gain from the offense the maximum penalty that is to be imposed is double the pecuniary gain derived from the offense
As you can see from the attached statement from Global Retreats the management company that was supposed to manage the property in accordance with the law the property derived total rental income of $74300 for the years 2017-20 I 8 and beginning 2019 This is the relevant time period of the offense
Using the double the pecuniary gain derived from the offense standard articulated by the Florida Statutes and the Florida Constitution based on the gain it would be unfair and manifestly unjust to impose a fine upon us of any more than $150000 I cite this statute not to say that the council acted unlawfully but to provide you with some perspective as to how unfair it is that my fine is more than twice and larger than if I committed a crime and in this case it was a civil infraction
We had a mortgage of $18 million on the property and when we sold the house we had an insurmountable debt due to the mortgage payments utilities maintenance taxes and insurance When the house was sold we had to borrow additional money to pay for the closing commission and back-payments for utilities We are now in a dire financial situation when taking into consideration the mortgage and all of the expenses associated with the house (including the fine)
In addition for the last 5 months our primary care practice has been completely disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and we have been concentrating solely on treating patients in hospitals stricken with COVID-19 at far less revenue to our medical practice
We are respectfully requesting the imposition of a reasonable adjustment to the fine imposed by the City Council that is consistent with the letter and the spirit of the Florida Statutes and the Florida Constitution We are very reputable individuals who simply never received the Citys notices Had the notices gone directly to our residence there is zero doubt that we would have taken care of the problem that the Property Management company caused We gave them the house to rent and unbeknownst to us the property manager was renting the property in an unauthorized manner
During this whole time we were very busy with our medical practice and we hired the property management company to take care of the rental property and trusted them to do the right thing We are law-abiding citizens with a spotless record (absent this fine) and a very well-respected medical practice that is beloved by our patients who we treat as our family members
As stated earlier this Vero Beach property had a great amount of debt that still has to be paid off
CONCLUSION
In sum we are offering to pay back double the pecuniary gain derived from the offense as contemplated by the Florida Statutes which in this case would be a $150000 settlement In addition I will gladly donate the remainder of the fine via donation of my time to the Treasure Coast Community Health Center in Vero Beach FL I am willing to work and provide 50 hours of medical consultations each year for the next 2 years at the Community Health Center to provide free high quality medical care to the people of Vero Beach FL who lack financial resources to receive this assistance
We believe we have put forward a good faith settlement that is fair and will have far more of a positive impact for the City of Vero Beach We respectfully ask that you exercise your discretion in an act of grace and forgiveness and grant an amendment to this fine and that you work with us to help us stay afloat during these very difficult times
Please let us know if you have any questions we can be reached at (305 )322-5944 We are also prepared to attend the August I 8th City Council meeting and would appreciate the opportunity to speak to the Council and answer any questions
Sincerely
Dr Tony Abbassi and Mrs Lorange Abbassi

Hello Mr Falls Thank you and Mr Jeffries for your prompt response We Would like to know if there would be a way that the city council could pass a mitigation of the fine in exchange for services that Dr Abbassi could provide for the city of Vero Beach (perhaps community health center consultations)and or COVID-19 consultations We would like to find closure to this case as this has been very traumatic to Dr Abbassi who has already been under unprecedented stress treating COVID-19 cases at South Florida Hospitals We await your response

Dear City Manager Falls
Hope this message finds you well I am writing on behalf of my friend Dr Tony Abbassi a Vero Beach Property Owner who was unfortunately mixed up unbeknownst to him in a city fine issue because his property manager was not aware of the citys rental policy
7
Because Dr Abbassi has been working 247 fighting COVID-19 and saving patients in Miami he has not been able to reach out to you However I was wondering if we could please meet with you next week to discuss a reasonable accommodation to this quite unreasonable fine
Dr Abbassi is a pillar of the community and has never turned away from anyone in their time of need Hopefully the City of Vero Beach will do the same during these difficult times
I look forward to hearing from you to make this happen
Best Regards

We are respectfully requesting the imposition of a reasonable adjustment to the fine imposed by the City Council that is consistent with the letter and the spirit of the Florida Statutes and the Florida Constitution We are very reputable individuals who simply never received the Citys notices Had the notices gone directly to our residence there is zero doubt that we would have taken care of the problem that the Property Management company caused We gave them the house to rent and unbeknownst to us the property manager was renting the property in an unauthorized manner
During this whole time we were very busy with our medical practice and we hired the property management company to take care of the rental property and trusted them to do the right thing We are law-abiding citizens with a spotless record (absent this fine) and a very well-respected medical practice that is beloved by our patients who we treat as our family members
As stated earlier this Vero Beach property had a great amount of debt that still has to be paid off
CONCLUSION
In sum we are offering to pay back double the pecuniary gain derived from the offense as contemplated by the Florida Statutes which in this case would be a $150000 settlement In addition I will gladly donate the remainder of the fine via donation of my time to the Treasure Coast Community Health Center in Vero Beach FL I am willing to work and provide 50 hours of medical consultations each year for the next 2 years at the Community Health Center to provide free high quality medical care to the people of Vero Beach FL who lack financial resources to receive this assistance
We believe we have put forward a good faith settlement that is fair and will have far more of a positive impact for the City of Vero Beach We respectfully ask that you exercise your discretion in an act of grace and forgiveness and grant an amendment to this fine and that you work with us to help us stay afloat during these very difficult times
Please let us know if you have any questions we can be reached at (305 )322-5944 We are also prepared to attend the August I 8th City Council meeting and would appreciate the opportunity to speak to the Council and answer any questions
Sincerely
Dr Tony Abbassi and Mrs Lorange Abbassi

Hello Mr Falls Thank you and Mr Jeffries for your prompt response We Would like to know if there would be a way that the city council could pass a mitigation of the fine in exchange for services that Dr Abbassi could provide for the city of Vero Beach (perhaps community health center consultations)and or COVID-19 consultations We would like to find closure to this case as this has been very traumatic to Dr Abbassi who has already been under unprecedented stress treating COVID-19 cases at South Florida Hospitals We await your response

Dear City Manager Falls
Hope this message finds you well I am writing on behalf of my friend Dr Tony Abbassi a Vero Beach Property Owner who was unfortunately mixed up unbeknownst to him in a city fine issue because his property manager was not aware of the citys rental policy
7
Because Dr Abbassi has been working 247 fighting COVID-19 and saving patients in Miami he has not been able to reach out to you However I was wondering if we could please meet with you next week to discuss a reasonable accommodation to this quite unreasonable fine
Dr Abbassi is a pillar of the community and has never turned away from anyone in their time of need Hopefully the City of Vero Beach will do the same during these difficult times
I look forward to hearing from you to make this happen
Best Regards

Hello Mr Falls Thank you and Mr Jeffries for your prompt response We Would like to know if there would be a way that the city council could pass a mitigation of the fine in exchange for services that Dr Abbassi could provide for the city of Vero Beach (perhaps community health center consultations)and or COVID-19 consultations We would like to find closure to this case as this has been very traumatic to Dr Abbassi who has already been under unprecedented stress treating COVID-19 cases at South Florida Hospitals We await your response

SECURITY WARNING This message has originated from an EXTERNAL SOURCE Please show caution when clicking links opening attachments or responding to this email unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe
Dear City Manager Falls
Hope this message finds you well I am writing on behalf of my friend Dr Tony Abbassi a Vero Beach Property Owner who was unfortunately mixed up unbeknownst to him in a city fine issue because his property manager was not aware of the citys rental policy
7
Because Dr Abbassi has been working 247 fighting COVID-19 and saving patients in Miami he has not been able to reach out to you However I was wondering if we could please meet with you next week to discuss a reasonable accommodation to this quite unreasonable fine
Dr Abbassi is a pillar of the community and has never turned away from anyone in their time of need Hopefully the City of Vero Beach will do the same during these difficult times
I look forward to hearing from you to make this happen
Best Regards

Hello Mr Falls Thank you and Mr Jeffries for your prompt response We Would like to know if there would be a way that the city council could pass a mitigation of the fine in exchange for services that Dr Abbassi could provide for the city of Vero Beach (perhaps community health center consultations)and or COVID-19 consultations We would like to find closure to this case as this has been very traumatic to Dr Abbassi who has already been under unprecedented stress treating COVID-19 cases at South Florida Hospitals We await your response

Dear City Manager Falls
Hope this message finds you well I am writing on behalf of my friend Dr Tony Abbassi a Vero Beach Property Owner who was unfortunately mixed up unbeknownst to him in a city fine issue because his property manager was not aware of the citys rental policy
7
Because Dr Abbassi has been working 247 fighting COVID-19 and saving patients in Miami he has not been able to reach out to you However I was wondering if we could please meet with you next week to discuss a reasonable accommodation to this quite unreasonable fine
Dr Abbassi is a pillar of the community and has never turned away from anyone in their time of need Hopefully the City of Vero Beach will do the same during these difficult times
I look forward to hearing from you to make this happen
Best Regards

Hello Mr Falls Thank you and Mr Jeffries for your prompt response We Would like to know if there would be a way that the city council could pass a mitigation of the fine in exchange for services that Dr Abbassi could provide for the city of Vero Beach (perhaps community health center consultations)and or COVID-19 consultations We would like to find closure to this case as this has been very traumatic to Dr Abbassi who has already been under unprecedented stress treating COVID-19 cases at South Florida Hospitals We await your response

Dear City Manager Falls
Hope this message finds you well I am writing on behalf of my friend Dr Tony Abbassi a Vero Beach Property Owner who was unfortunately mixed up unbeknownst to him in a city fine issue because his property manager was not aware of the citys rental policy
7
Because Dr Abbassi has been working 247 fighting COVID-19 and saving patients in Miami he has not been able to reach out to you However I was wondering if we could please meet with you next week to discuss a reasonable accommodation to this quite unreasonable fine
Dr Abbassi is a pillar of the community and has never turned away from anyone in their time of need Hopefully the City of Vero Beach will do the same during these difficult times
I look forward to hearing from you to make this happen
Best Regards

Hello Mr Falls Thank you and Mr Jeffries for your prompt response We Would like to know if there would be a way that the city council could pass a mitigation of the fine in exchange for services that Dr Abbassi could provide for the city of Vero Beach (perhaps community health center consultations)and or COVID-19 consultations We would like to find closure to this case as this has been very traumatic to Dr Abbassi who has already been under unprecedented stress treating COVID-19 cases at South Florida Hospitals We await your response

Dear City Manager Falls
Hope this message finds you well I am writing on behalf of my friend Dr Tony Abbassi a Vero Beach Property Owner who was unfortunately mixed up unbeknownst to him in a city fine issue because his property manager was not aware of the citys rental policy
7
Because Dr Abbassi has been working 247 fighting COVID-19 and saving patients in Miami he has not been able to reach out to you However I was wondering if we could please meet with you next week to discuss a reasonable accommodation to this quite unreasonable fine
Dr Abbassi is a pillar of the community and has never turned away from anyone in their time of need Hopefully the City of Vero Beach will do the same during these difficult times
I look forward to hearing from you to make this happen

Hello Mr Falls Thank you and Mr Jeffries for your prompt response We Would like to know if there would be a way that the city council could pass a mitigation of the fine in exchange for services that Dr Abbassi could provide for the city of Vero Beach (perhaps community health center consultations)and or COVID-19 consultations We would like to find closure to this case as this has been very traumatic to Dr Abbassi who has already been under unprecedented stress treating COVID-19 cases at South Florida Hospitals We await your response

Dear City Manager Falls
Hope this message finds you well I am writing on behalf of my friend Dr Tony Abbassi a Vero Beach Property Owner who was unfortunately mixed up unbeknownst to him in a city fine issue because his property manager was not aware of the citys rental policy
7
Because Dr Abbassi has been working 247 fighting COVID-19 and saving patients in Miami he has not been able to reach out to you However I was wondering if we could please meet with you next week to discuss a reasonable accommodation to this quite unreasonable fine
Dr Abbassi is a pillar of the community and has never turned away from anyone in their time of need Hopefully the City of Vero Beach will do the same during these difficult times
I look forward to hearing from you to make this happen
Best Regards

Hello Mr Falls Thank you and Mr Jeffries for your prompt response We Would like to know if there would be a way that the city council could pass a mitigation of the fine in exchange for services that Dr Abbassi could provide for the city of Vero Beach (perhaps community health center consultations)and or COVID-19 consultations We would like to find closure to this case as this has been very traumatic to Dr Abbassi who has already been under unprecedented stress treating COVID-19 cases at South Florida Hospitals We await your response

Dear City Manager Falls
Hope this message finds you well I am writing on behalf of my friend Dr Tony Abbassi a Vero Beach Property Owner who was unfortunately mixed up unbeknownst to him in a city fine issue because his property manager was not aware of the citys rental policy
7
Because Dr Abbassi has been working 247 fighting COVID-19 and saving patients in Miami he has not been able to reach out to you However I was wondering if we could please meet with you next week to discuss a reasonable accommodation to this quite unreasonable fine
Dr Abbassi is a pillar of the community and has never turned away from anyone in their time of need Hopefully the City of Vero Beach will do the same during these difficult times
I look forward to hearing from you to make this happen
Best Regards

Dear City Manager Falls
Hope this message finds you well I am writing on behalf of my friend Dr Tony Abbassi a Vero Beach Property Owner who was unfortunately mixed up unbeknownst to him in a city fine issue because his property manager was not aware of the citys rental policy
7
Because Dr Abbassi has been working 247 fighting COVID-19 and saving patients in Miami he has not been able to reach out to you However I was wondering if we could please meet with you next week to discuss a reasonable accommodation to this quite unreasonable fine
Dr Abbassi is a pillar of the community and has never turned away from anyone in their time of need Hopefully the City of Vero Beach will do the same during these difficult times
I look forward to hearing from you to make this happen
Best Regards

Dear City Manager Falls
Hope this message finds you well I am writing on behalf of my friend Dr Tony Abbassi a Vero Beach Property Owner who was unfortunately mixed up unbeknownst to him in a city fine issue because his property manager was not aware of the citys rental policy
7
Because Dr Abbassi has been working 247 fighting COVID-19 and saving patients in Miami he has not been able to reach out to you However I was wondering if we could please meet with you next week to discuss a reasonable accommodation to this quite unreasonable fine
Dr Abbassi is a pillar of the community and has never turned away from anyone in their time of need Hopefully the City of Vero Beach will do the same during these difficult times
I look forward to hearing from you to make this happen
Best Regards

SECURITY WARNING This message has originated from an EXTERNAL SOURCE Please show caution when clicking links opening attachments or responding to this email unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe
Dear City Manager Falls
Hope this message finds you well I am writing on behalf of my friend Dr Tony Abbassi a Vero Beach Property Owner who was unfortunately mixed up unbeknownst to him in a city fine issue because his property manager was not aware of the citys rental policy
7
Because Dr Abbassi has been working 247 fighting COVID-19 and saving patients in Miami he has not been able to reach out to you However I was wondering if we could please meet with you next week to discuss a reasonable accommodation to this quite unreasonable fine
Dr Abbassi is a pillar of the community and has never turned away from anyone in their time of need Hopefully the City of Vero Beach will do the same during these difficult times
I look forward to hearing from you to make this happen
Best Regards

Because Dr Abbassi has been working 247 fighting COVID-19 and saving patients in Miami he has not been able to reach out to you However I was wondering if we could please meet with you next week to discuss a reasonable accommodation to this quite unreasonable fine
Dr Abbassi is a pillar of the community and has never turned away from anyone in their time of need Hopefully the City of Vero Beach will do the same during these difficult times
I look forward to hearing from you to make this happen
