If she did it in Winter Park instead of Longwood she would have been arrested already. She is definitely not a native to central Fl and is about to find out how the legal system works there 😂😂😂
Drainage-system was there more than 30 years ago before the time the house was even built, & she definitely isn't even the first owner, having only purchased the property recently!
She was trying to act like the mafia and collect "dues" on water running through public drains. She threated her neighbors with property damage from her actions and followed through when they didnt pay her extortion fees. Seminole county isnt a poor area and she is definately losing her home and everything of financial value with the upcoming lawsuitS (plural). She is definately not a native to the area and thought she could bully an entire neighborhood.
To be clear this is not really about a drainage pipe. It is more about the access point that was added after the existing pipe was below the ground for many years. The additional access point was added as a common flood mitigation practice. Since the pipe was there for as long as it has been, I'm pretty sure easement law and city code allows for future modifications. I think this lady has no case. If it turns out she does not, it's only a matter of time before neighbors start looking into filing lawsuits against her. It's a can of worms all around if you ask me. But seriously flooding is a problem and has things heat up in the future it will continue to be a problem.

Central florida is built on swamp. Every neighborhood has been built with drainage for rain to prevent flooding. Yearly Hurricane threats mean that Florida in general has strict laws when it comes to building/construction. There are a LOT of regulations in Fl that people in other states have never dealt with. She created a public safety and health danger and the gov is definitely going to hold her feet to the fire. The road is a private road so the county is not responsible for repair which means they are going a different route with the fines. If hurricane season starts before she fixes this there is probably going to be criminal charges because this puts rescue and law enforcement in danger. Right now this has been flooding due to regular rain but hurricanes dump a lot of water in an area and the situation is gonna be really really bad with sewage/mosquitos/debris/snakes/gators and downed power lines in the water.
She already bankrupted herself and lost her house, all this is just legal technicalities. The county she did this is not a poor county and florida has serval gov agencies that strictly oversee stormwater/rain runoff and land use.

There's a 40' wide easement (20' each side of property line). The city/county could come in and repair the damage (not a low cost option). Then place a lien on her property for the repair cost. Give her 90 days to come up with the money (home equity loan) to pay the lien or face foreclosure. She could be held accountable for collateral flood damage caused by her actions. This flooding is not a natural disaster.
@@danburch9989 It's a private road so the county is going by a diff route but the outcome will be the same, she's lost her house and destroyed her finances. The fines have already started. If this was a public road she would have probably been arrested and she might still get arrested if this isnt fixed by the start of hurricane season which will make her actions a legitimate threat to public health and safety. Water and land is strictly regulated by a few different agencies in florida and this includes stormwater/rain, she is definitely in more trouble than she realizes.
She seems like a piece of work just putting everyone through all that even worse the cars that go through that water what would happen if it was winter very unsafe for cars and people around even house its an accident waiting to happen
How would she get that out? She gets to hire a company, and the neighbors get to listen to the wonderful sound of jackhammers! I think it would have been easier for her to mitigate the water issue that caused this by putting in, I don't know, a rock scape or something. Surely there's got to be water-loving plants in Florida, right? Something that loves wet areas?
Exactly. She created a threat to public heath and safety. Hurricane season approaching is gonna move this up fast on county/state/gov issues to resolve
"...she hired a crew" to fill-in the drain? WHO? I think there's a culpability here... She is in the wrong, -but SHE 'hired a crew' to do this? The CREW are also to blame...
The reason the concrete crew did this is because Shadow Bay is a weird black hole. No regulatory agency has jurisdiction here. Not the state, not St John’s River Water Management District, not US Army Corp of Engineers. The company had no reason to fear fining or any other penalties. Seminole County Watershed Quality team was watching them pour the concrete and stone aggregate into the manholes on April 23, 2024. Anyone can submit a FOIA to the county and get those pictures.
It definitely will because hurricane season is approaching which will make this a legitimate danger to public health and safety. The county has to go a different route because its a private road. So they are starting with the $300 daily fines next week. There is probably criminal charges in the future if she keeps dragging her feet to repair it.
This has nothing to do with the HOA, or rules. This is a person, who put concrete in a drain. What rule are you talking about that relates to an HOA? Why are people agreeing with you? This is baffling to me.
@@user-ln7of9gs4s I just replied to the comment which brought up HOA. I didn't bring up HOA. Also notice, that what I'm saying is hypothetical. I don't know any details of the HOA. All I'm saying, that in this special case if there's an HOA it could be actually useful, because it can (notice again the hypothetical: "can") be an extra layer of push to correct the situation. Going by the city / county enforcement can take longer. That's all.
it’s a private property/roadway, so the county isn’t responsible for funding the repairs required to fix the problem. With hurricane season and the real danger this causes to public safety and health, the county is gonna start moving faster now. There is no way she is gonna find a legal contractor that can pull permits to do the job before the $300 a day fines start without having to pay an arm and a leg. She lost her home and destroyed her finances. On top of all the lawyers fees she will be responsible for.
Fix it? No. She made it clear in her letter to us in the community that she wants water damage to her property so she can sue us (the HOA) for damages. 🙄
The road is private so the county has to go a slightly different route with fines first. With hurricane season approaching and with that neighborhood already flooding with normal rainfall, the gov is definitely going to be on her azz to fix it quick. There might be criminal charges in the future because this will not only put residents and their property in danger, this puts law enforcement, rescue workers and emergency workers in danger. Seminole county isnt a poor county.
The easement might be on the county map but is the easement still listed on her deed. This might be more of a title company screw up also She's claiming the pipe was causing erosion damage to her property. So I'm curious as to when the last maintenance was done on that pipe and who is responsible for maintenance. Either way she should have spoken with her real estate broker and gone to a lawyer. Also having a giant banner over the map is really annoying.bad producer bad must have worked at CNN
This is the owner's screw up alone. Everybody knows the old saying CAVEAT EMPTOR : Buyer beware. If she wasn't aware of the drain pipe on the property before she bought the property, that's her fault, not the neighbor's fault, because she did not due her due diligence. The drainage pipe being there is certainly not the fault of the rest of the neighbors who are now suffering with flooded roadways and the area has not even been drenched yet by rains from a hurricane. Every single member of the Board in that Seminole County should ALSO BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE NEXT ELECTION as completely incompetent.
@@jannibal9273 I disagree. If a pipe was there but no drain on the easement she has a case. And if the easement was not on her deed But on the plans. then she also has a case against the title company and the insurance. Plans are plans .but if the easement was never filled or recorded on her deed then the home builders are at fault. Either way she should have spoken with her broker and an attorney before she filled in the hole. But she still might have a counterclaim for damages if the pipe was never maintained and caused erosion
The road is private so county is not responsible for repairs and are using a different legal route with fines first. There is likely criminal charges in the future with hurricane season if she doesn't get this repaired soon. The neighborhood is already flooding with normal rainfall which means with hurricane season the situation will become very dangerous for residents, law enforcement, ambulances and rescue and emergency workers. Fl has much stricter laws than what u people in other states are used to. Hurricanes make this a very dangerous public safety and health threat. That womann already lost her house and destroyed her finances, she just doesnt know it yet cause she is definitely not local.
@@kittenkat5244 I'm just wondering who's supposed to maintain it. If it's the HOA then where are the receipts. She's claiming erosion damage. Like I said she should have talked to a broker and a lawyer first.
@@Lee-yc1if Pretty sure she is legally responsible according to Fl law: the owner of the land covered by the easement must maintain it. Also FL law says: Any person who willfully obstructs any public canal, drain, ditch, or watercourse or damages or destroys any public drainage works constructed in or maintained by any district shall be liable to any person injured thereby for the full amount of the injury occasioned to any land or crops or other property by reason ... Stormwater in Fl which includes rain has different agencies overseeing it and regulations. Like the Florida department of environmental protection. She is in a lot of very expensive trouble that's just getting started.
What sort of private company would even sign off on that job? That is clearly city infrastructure. They are going to get sued by the local government for the damage they caused as well I hope.
Why aren't these drains installed on the inside of the CURB were pretty much ALL drains are installed? The City should have to MOVE THE DRAINS to the inside of the curb where they are best installed to drain the streets. The MEDIA is LYING and not telling the WHOLE TRUTH....SHOCKER. smh I WILL NEVER TRUST THE MEDIA AGAIN AFTER ALL THE LIES THEY'VE TOLD IN THE PAST 10 YEARS. THEY ARE PROPAGANDA PUSHERS FOR THE MOST PART. JUST DISGRACEFUL AND DISGUSTING FOR OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
She is definitely not a local and she tried to extort mafia style fees from the neighborhood. She is in so much trouble especially if this isnt fixed by the start of hurricane season. She is definitely losing her home
I wonder if all that constant flooding any time it rains increases the risk of sinkholes and homes collapsing. I wonder how she feels every time her house floods and her car gets water damage. Concrete is a perminent "solution" so was she just going to be content with having a flooded home for years and years? Honestly she is just shooting herself in the knee by doing this.
@@patriot101101 - There's a HOA where I live, but joining is not required. The law here says so. I get letters from them regularly - "Hi, we don't know who you are and we'd really like to get to know you".
What it comes down to, is she's a bully, with no consideration for anybody else. This has been the state of affairs for months, and now they're getting into hurricane season, and people's homes could be flooded and destroyed. Any legal process could take years. Maybe vigilante is the only answer.
Black woman lives there now , yet pipe was there before her and she thinks neighbors installed it behind her back as another form of systemic racisms… They can make anything into an issue. I don’t want anything to do with anything they’re involved with.

It's a private road so the city has to take a different legal route. That's why they're doing the $300 daily fines next week. She is gonna pay an arm and a leg to find a ( legal )crew to do the work on short notice and pull the permits on top of paying the daily fines. Not to mention the law suits and lawyer fees she's gonna pay for property damage. U can bet the county is gonna take serious legal and probably criminal actions if this isnt fixed by the start of hurricane season. Cause then it's gonna cause a real safety and health threat to the public like law enforcement, ambulances, rescue and emergency workers in top of residents.
@@susanrand512 Fl is a whole different monster when it comes to land ownership. The laws are stricter and there are more of them. There are different agencies that oversee and gives fines on top of that like I know one agency that oversee stormwater and rainwater is the Florida department of environmental protection which is probably gonna fine her too. She is probably gonna face criminal charges for created a legitimate danger to public safety and health when hurricane season starts. If the street floods this bad during normal rain it will become dangerous during a hurricane. She has lost her house and bankrupted herself. The county she did this is not a poor county.
@@kittenkat5244 The state has declined jurisdiction. We tried that. So has SJRWMD. They didn’t do any permitting in the 70’s and 80’s in our area so they basically told me, “Wow how awful for you but we can’t help.”
its not the fine you should be worried about, its how much is it going to cost to repair? thousands upon thousands of dollars, plus the fines she'll stock up the longer it takes to fix
@@1jidion Yup. She is gonna have a hard time finding a legitimate crew to fix this before next week before the fines start. The same county that issues the fines is the same county that issues the permits to allow them to work on and fix the problem 😂. They are probably gonna drag their feet giving her permits to work on the drain and are probably gonna drag it out longer by being slow to inspect the repair and being nit picky during the repair.
So apparently the internet has figured out the drainage was installed in 1981. The house was built in 93 and she purchased the house in 2012. She tried to extort money from her neighbors but she's going to be the one paying up.
it's been their for like 30 years before the bought it. they are at fault for not checking the property before buying it. also i'm pretty sure that they are just trying to remove the reason the property was cheaper than the rest of the neighborhood to increase the value and make a profit.
Well its like this if it is her property and there is not easement on it, then she had every right to poor concrete into the drain and the city can do nothing to her. So check the deed on this property, then take legal action against the city in Federal Court with a lawsuit.
I think you'll find that every state has easements that allow drainage to be installed. You also can't do things to your property that cause drainage problems on other properties, easement or not. We're trying to have a society here. Btw, you don't go to Federal Court to sue a city.
Apparently you don't know the laws about what the city can do to her property. Ever heard of imminent domain? If she doesn't comply she'll be out on the street.
@@thomasalley4944 Exactly. This happened in central florida in a county that is not poor. She tried to extort money from her neighbors to allow rain water to pass through public drain pipes. She has lost her home and anything of value, the court cases are just a technicality at this point. There are a lot of different environmental agencies and laws overseeing stormwater related issues in Fl. Anyone who has ever owned property in Fl knows u have to tread carefully doing anything to the land. She is learning a once in a lifetime lesson in getting herself bankrupted and possibly getting criminal charges if she keeps this up with hurricane season approaching.
I had the catch basin in my yard and I was fine with it. In fact, it meant that I had good drainage and I rarely had tow after the garden along the catchment.
Good way to piss off literally all of your neighbors
It’s her property and FL loves “freedom”
don't u love the ominous theme music, when she gets found in a drainage ditch no one will be surprised.
The company she hired to do it, should also be held accountable. They knew it was town property, they should have refused.

@@user-ln7of9gs4sIt's always baffling, and disturbing, to see such stupidity on utube.
@@user-ln7of9gs4s I just replied to the comment which brought up HOA. I didn't bring up HOA. Also notice, that what I'm saying is hypothetical. I don't know any details of the HOA. All I'm saying, that in this special case if there's an HOA it could be actually useful, because it can (notice again the hypothetical: "can") be an extra layer of push to correct the situation. Going by the city / county enforcement can take longer. That's all.
Took the county long enough to take action.
it’s a private property/roadway, so the county isn’t responsible for funding the repairs required to fix the problem. With hurricane season and the real danger this causes to public safety and health, the county is gonna start moving faster now. There is no way she is gonna find a legal contractor that can pull permits to do the job before the $300 a day fines start without having to pay an arm and a leg. She lost her home and destroyed her finances. On top of all the lawyers fees she will be responsible for.
She should have to pay for repairs in addition to fines....
Did she do it?
Fix it? No. She made it clear in her letter to us in the community that she wants water damage to her property so she can sue us (the HOA) for damages. 🙄
@@ShadowbayRobin That's crazy.
Why isn't she in jail?
The road is private so the county has to go a slightly different route with fines first. With hurricane season approaching and with that neighborhood already flooding with normal rainfall, the gov is definitely going to be on her azz to fix it quick. There might be criminal charges in the future because this will not only put residents and their property in danger, this puts law enforcement, rescue workers and emergency workers in danger. Seminole county isnt a poor county.
I cannot believe you could hire "a legitimate business" that would fill a city storm drain with concrete. Nope.
The easement might be on the county map but is the easement still listed on her deed. This might be more of a title company screw up also She's claiming the pipe was causing erosion damage to her property. So I'm curious as to when the last maintenance was done on that pipe and
who is responsible for maintenance. Either way she should have spoken with her real estate broker and gone to a lawyer. Also having a giant banner over the map is really annoying.bad producer bad must have worked at CNN
This is the owner's screw up alone. Everybody knows the old saying CAVEAT EMPTOR : Buyer beware. If she wasn't aware of the drain pipe on the property before she bought the property, that's her fault, not the neighbor's fault, because she did not due her due diligence. The drainage pipe being there is certainly not the fault of the rest of the neighbors who are now suffering with flooded roadways and the area has not even been drenched yet by rains from a hurricane. Every single member of the Board in that Seminole County should ALSO BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE NEXT ELECTION as completely incompetent.
@@jannibal9273 I disagree. If a pipe was there but no drain on the easement she has a case. And if the easement was not on her deed But on the plans. then she also has a case against the title company and the insurance. Plans are plans .but if the easement was never filled or recorded on her deed then the home builders are at fault. Either way she should have spoken with her broker and an attorney before she filled in the hole. But she still might have a counterclaim for damages if the pipe was never maintained and caused erosion
The road is private so county is not responsible for repairs and are using a different legal route with fines first. There is likely criminal charges in the future with hurricane season if she doesn't get this repaired soon. The neighborhood is already flooding with normal rainfall which means with hurricane season the situation will become very dangerous for residents, law enforcement, ambulances and rescue and emergency workers. Fl has much stricter laws than what u people in other states are used to. Hurricanes make this a very dangerous public safety and health threat. That womann already lost her house and destroyed her finances, she just doesnt know it yet cause she is definitely not local.
@@kittenkat5244 I'm just wondering who's supposed to maintain it. If it's the HOA then where are the receipts. She's claiming erosion damage. Like I said she should have talked to a broker and a lawyer first.
@@Lee-yc1if
Pretty sure she is legally responsible according to Fl law: the owner of the land covered by the easement must maintain it.
Also FL law says: Any person who willfully obstructs any public canal, drain, ditch, or watercourse or damages or destroys any public drainage works constructed in or maintained by any district shall be liable to any person injured thereby for the full amount of the injury occasioned to any land or crops or other property by reason ...
Stormwater in Fl which includes rain has different agencies overseeing it and regulations. Like the Florida department of environmental protection. She is in a lot of very expensive trouble that's just getting started.
Mosquitos will love it!

What sort of private company would even sign off on that job? That is clearly city infrastructure. They are going to get sued by the local government for the damage they caused as well I hope.

Why aren't these drains installed on the inside of the CURB were pretty much ALL drains are installed?
The City should have to MOVE THE DRAINS to the inside of the curb where they are best installed to drain the streets.
The MEDIA is LYING and not telling the WHOLE TRUTH....SHOCKER. smh
I WILL NEVER TRUST THE MEDIA AGAIN AFTER ALL THE LIES THEY'VE TOLD IN THE PAST 10 YEARS. THEY ARE PROPAGANDA PUSHERS FOR THE MOST PART. JUST DISGRACEFUL AND DISGUSTING FOR OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
She is definitely not a local and she tried to extort mafia style fees from the neighborhood. She is in so much trouble especially if this isnt fixed by the start of hurricane season. She is definitely losing her home
Diane Goglas Is a realtor too y’all. How could anyone buy a house from a woman who would do this to her own neighbors?
People are getting SO dumb. All city properties have city easement in our front yards. The city owns the first 30" in from the sidewalk in my city.
I wonder if all that constant flooding any time it rains increases the risk of sinkholes and homes collapsing. I wonder how she feels every time her house floods and her car gets water damage. Concrete is a perminent "solution" so was she just going to be content with having a flooded home for years and years? Honestly she is just shooting herself in the knee by doing this.
Put her in prison
She is delusional in thinking the neighbors snook in a drain on her property.
This is why people love HOA's they would have fixed it.
I would never buy a house in a HOA at all, I do what I want to my properties.
@@patriot101101 - There's a HOA where I live, but joining is not required. The law here says so. I get letters from them regularly - "Hi, we don't know who you are and we'd really like to get to know you".
Amazing!! The Stupid is strong in this one 😂😂😂
Why would they fill them unless it’s bring flood water into there homes
She was trying to exploit the neighborhood and charge them fees
" I would echo that" 😂💀
It's on her property. She has that right. She pays her mortgage and bought her property. The builder is at fault
That drain is a narcissist!
Looks like the city will own a new house there after they file there liens on this property and sell it.
That Karen is willing to pay 300$ every day!
What it comes down to, is she's a bully, with no consideration for anybody else. This has been the state of affairs for months, and now they're getting into hurricane season, and people's homes could be flooded and destroyed. Any legal process could take years. Maybe vigilante is the only answer.
Black woman lives there now , yet pipe was there before her and she thinks neighbors installed it behind her back as another form of systemic racisms…
They can make anything into an issue. I don’t want anything to do with anything they’re involved with.

The black woman in the white top looks very beautiful ❤❤
The other one looks like she's half big foot.
She believed the neighbor installed the drain pipe for the entire street. The city should repair the problem and send her the bill.😊
It's a private road so the city has to take a different legal route. That's why they're doing the $300 daily fines next week. She is gonna pay an arm and a leg to find a ( legal )crew to do the work on short notice and pull the permits on top of paying the daily fines. Not to mention the law suits and lawyer fees she's gonna pay for property damage. U can bet the county is gonna take serious legal and probably criminal actions if this isnt fixed by the start of hurricane season. Cause then it's gonna cause a real safety and health threat to the public like law enforcement, ambulances, rescue and emergency workers in top of residents.
@@kittenkat5244 I see
@@susanrand512
Fl is a whole different monster when it comes to land ownership. The laws are stricter and there are more of them. There are different agencies that oversee and gives fines on top of that like I know one agency that oversee stormwater and rainwater is the Florida department of environmental protection which is probably gonna fine her too. She is probably gonna face criminal charges for created a legitimate danger to public safety and health when hurricane season starts. If the street floods this bad during normal rain it will become dangerous during a hurricane. She has lost her house and bankrupted herself. The county she did this is not a poor county.
@@kittenkat5244 The state has declined jurisdiction. We tried that. So has SJRWMD. They didn’t do any permitting in the 70’s and 80’s in our area so they basically told me, “Wow how awful for you but we can’t help.”
Her first name is Treasure? 0:36
My wife is a treasure, but she doesn’t like me trying to bury her
Hundreds of dollars per day? That's ridiculous.
It should be thousands. Plus three times the amount if any and all damages
its not the fine you should be worried about, its how much is it going to cost to repair? thousands upon thousands of dollars, plus the fines she'll stock up the longer it takes to fix
@@1jidion
Yup. She is gonna have a hard time finding a legitimate crew to fix this before next week before the fines start. The same county that issues the fines is the same county that issues the permits to allow them to work on and fix the problem 😂. They are probably gonna drag their feet giving her permits to work on the drain and are probably gonna drag it out longer by being slow to inspect the repair and being nit picky during the repair.
At least your lawns are getting watered.
What a cow!

Don't put drainage pipe on someone's property
So apparently the internet has figured out the drainage was installed in 1981. The house was built in 93 and she purchased the house in 2012. She tried to extort money from her neighbors but she's going to be the one paying up.
it's been their for like 30 years before the bought it.
they are at fault for not checking the property before buying it.
also i'm pretty sure that they are just trying to remove the reason the property was cheaper than the rest of the neighborhood to increase the value and make a profit.
It was there long before the house was built.
Yes, I understand the neighbors all conspired to put the drainage pipe on her property 6 weeks ago. 🤦♂️
It was there bedire the property was bought and house was built.
Well its like this if it is her property and there is not easement on it, then she had every right to poor concrete into the drain and the city can do nothing to her. So check the deed on this property, then take legal action against the city in Federal Court with a lawsuit.
I think you'll find that every state has easements that allow drainage to be installed. You also can't do things to your property that cause drainage problems on other properties, easement or not. We're trying to have a society here. Btw, you don't go to Federal Court to sue a city.
Apparently you don't know the laws about what the city can do to her property. Ever heard of imminent domain? If she doesn't comply she'll be out on the street.
Storm water system been there years before she even bought land...she is screwed now
@@thomasalley4944
Exactly. This happened in central florida in a county that is not poor. She tried to extort money from her neighbors to allow rain water to pass through public drain pipes. She has lost her home and anything of value, the court cases are just a technicality at this point.
There are a lot of different environmental agencies and laws overseeing stormwater related issues in Fl. Anyone who has ever owned property in Fl knows u have to tread carefully doing anything to the land. She is learning a once in a lifetime lesson in getting herself bankrupted and possibly getting criminal charges if she keeps this up with hurricane season approaching.
No one snapped it’s her property if it was your you would feel the same. Let them put it on your property see if you like it.
According to other reports, the drainage pipe was there for years before she bought the property.
I had the catch basin in my yard and I was fine with it. In fact, it meant that I had good drainage and I rarely had tow after the garden along the catchment.
Glad laws exist for people like you and her. She chose a property “downstream” now she’s complaining about property erosion? MOVE!
Drainage-system was there years before the house was even built, & she isn't even the first owner, having only purchased the property recently!
You're the kind of person to move next to a railroad and complain about the noise
This two two months to figure this out.
