DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — A dilapidated property in Daytona Beach is back on code enforcement’s radar.
Frank Heckman’s property on South Oleander Avenue first became a problem two years ago.
Channel 9’s Blaine Tolison spoke to Heckman about the complaints. He told Tolison he has a lot to fix on the dilapidated property.

Heckman walked through his rental properties with code enforcement as officials pointed out repairs needed to railings, windows, doors and electrical wiring.
Heckman didn’t deny he has issues with the building.
“With you being in Community Watch, do you think your property should be in better condition?” Tolison asked Heckman.
“I think I should be a prime example, yes, to answer your question,” Heckman said.
Code cnforcement officers slammed Heckman with a list of violations in 2012. Almost three years later, his neighbors are still complaining.
“To put it bluntly, he is a hypocrite, because a Community Watch leader is supposed to look out for the safety of the neighborhood,” said neighbor Darcy Hale. “I don’t feel that he is in the right state of mind to even be running rental property.”
City officials said they’re through giving warnings.
Heckman has less than 60 days to bring his property into compliance.
After that, he’ll be fined $250 a day until the repairs to his properties are made.
