Ms. Miller said calling Code Enforcement at 352-629-8309 or an email to her would help the process. Mr. McCullough said 714 or 716 NE 2nd Street has issues with the setbacks and Code Enforcement has placed a sign in front of the house. Ms. Miller said the deck was completed before getting the building permit. Ms. Cosand said there was a single a house on 6th Street that was converted into three Airbnb's.
