COOPER CITY, FL — The City of Cooper City has filed a five-count foreclosure lawsuit against the owner of a Sheridan Street property, seeking to enforce municipal code enforcement liens the city says have gone unpaid, according to a complaint filed July 8 in Broward County Circuit Court.
The lawsuit, styled City of Cooper City v. PS Cooper City, LLC, et al., was filed in the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida, under case number CACE-26-011066 and assigned to Division 12. Cooper City is represented in the action by attorneys Jacob Horowitz and Aaron S. Brenker of Goren, Cherof, Doody & Ezrol, P.A., a Fort Lauderdale law firm listed on the complaint as attorneys for the city.
The complaint names PS Cooper City, LLC, formerly known as BMS Cooper City, LLC, along with two unknown tenants the filing says may claim an interest in the property through occupancy. According to the complaint, the defendant owns the property at 9495 Sheridan Street in Cooper City, having acquired title through a special warranty deed recorded on October 20, 2004. The lawsuit alleges the entity underwent a legal name change from BMS Cooper City, LLC to PS Cooper City, LLC on or about October 17, 2005.
The city is asking the court to enter a final judgment of foreclosure on the property covering all five counts, together with interest, costs, expenses, and attorney's fees. The complaint says the Cooper City Commission authorized the foreclosure on April 28, 2026, after more than three months had passed since the liens were recorded in Broward County official records, a step the filing says is required under Chapter 162 of the Florida Statutes.
Each count in the complaint identifies a separate code enforcement case handled by the city's Code Enforcement Special Magistrate over the past several years.
Count I concerns Case No. 242938 and involves alleged violations of Cooper City code sections 25-48(b)(c), addressing landscape installation and maintenance, and 8-38, which addresses excessive undergrowth and the accumulation of junk and trash as a declared public nuisance. The complaint alleges the special magistrate entered a finding of violation on January 15, 2025, and later issued an order imposing a fine and lien on March 14, 2025. The lien, recorded April 29, 2025, is alleged to total $119,054, and the complaint says the fine continues to accrue at $250 per day.
Count II concerns Case No. 211301 and involves an alleged violation of code section 25-48. According to the complaint, the special magistrate entered a finding of violation on February 14, 2022, and a lien order on April 18, 2022. The lien, recorded May 20, 2022, is alleged to total $152,087, and the complaint says the fine continues to accrue at $100 per day.
Count III concerns Case No. 210269 and involves an alleged violation of code section 6-32. The complaint states the finding of violation was entered on July 19, 2021, and the lien order on September 13, 2021. The lien, recorded September 27, 2021, is alleged to total $2,787.
Count IV concerns Case No. 221639 and involves an alleged violation of code section 25-87(r)1-8. The complaint says the finding of violation was entered on February 14, 2023, and the lien order on April 13, 2023. The lien, recorded May 4, 2023, is alleged to total $40,204.
Count V concerns Case No. 250827 and involves an alleged violation of code section 6-32(k), described in an attached final order as relating to mildew on the building at the property. The complaint says the finding of violation was entered on October 9, 2025, and the lien order on November 17, 2025. The lien, recorded December 18, 2025, is alleged to total $2,095.50.
The complaint alleges the amounts due on each lien remain "wholly unpaid" and asks the court to order the property sold at judicial sale if the amounts owed are not paid within a time set by the court. The city is also seeking attorney's fees and costs under Section 162.10 of the Florida Statutes.
