Cooper City is taking a Guardian Estates property owner to court, asking a judge to let the city foreclose on a house at 5130 SW 101 Terrace so it can collect on mounting code-enforcement fines. The civil complaint, filed July 7, names United MYM LLC as the record owner, lists two unknown tenants as defendants, and seeks a court-approved sale of the home to cover the city’s claims. The case is on file in Broward County Circuit Court as CACE-26-011002.
What the complaint alleges
According to the complaint reviewed by Boca Post, the filing pulls together two separate code-enforcement cases that have already gone through the Special Magistrate process and been recorded as liens tied to the property.
The city labels the first as Count I, tied to code-enforcement case no. 240607. The complaint says a violation was found on June 17, 2024, with an order later recorded on Oct. 18, 2024, under Instrument No. 119855807. Count II tracks case no. 230005, which the filing says resulted in a Sept. 18, 2023 finding and an order recorded on Dec. 13, 2023, as Instrument No. 119281852.
In both counts, Cooper City alleges the code-enforcement liens remain unpaid and that daily fines are still accruing, increasing the tab the city now wants to collect through foreclosure.

The memo confirms the house was flagged for lien-foreclosure review after a Special Magistrate hearing and lists an updated fine balance as of April 8, 2026…
