The address of the violation is 336 Pont de Leon Avenue, Venice, Florida 34285. The zoning is RSF3 Residential Single Family. The owner of record is Richard A. Redmond. On Wednesday, July 15, 2026, I was directed to a code complaint at this address for rats in the neighborhood originated from possibly this residence, which is an un occupied home. I arrived and located the residence with piles of dead vegetative debris. I then responded to Redmond's current residence, which is on Casey Key Road, and spoke with his daughter, Lindsey Red mond. I explained the violation to her, and she asked for 14 days to get the lot cleared of the vegetative debris. I also explained the concern that rats are used in the yard , namely the trees with dead palm fronds in the area and their property for a breeding area. On Friday, July 31, 2026, the piles of dead vegetative debris remained. The grass on the right of way was recently mowed, but the grass on the property appeared to be more than 12 inches tall. While on scene, I spoke with a resident at 344, Ponce de Leon, who advised she could see and hear rats in the trees locate …
