The town of Palm Beach, Florida, is reviewing Donald Trump s use of his Mar-a-Lago Club as a residence, even as the former president is set to once again violate a length-of-stay provision he himself agreed to three decades ago.

At 11:32 a.m. Wednesday, Trump will have been at his property for more than seven consecutive days in 2021, having arrived a week earlier , half an hour before his successor, Joe Biden , was sworn in at the U.S. Capitol.

A 1993 special exception use permit that Trump signed , allowing him to convert the mansion into a for-profit social club, stipulated that only 10 guest accommodations were allowed, and that no one would stay there longer than seven days, and not more than three times a year.

Palm Beach Town Manager Kirk Blouin told HuffPost that Trumps apparent decision to live there permanently is being examined by the towns lawyer. This matter is under legal review by our Town Attorney, John Skip Randolph, Blouin said, adding that the matter may come before the town council at its Feb. 8 meeting.

Randolph confirmed that he is reviewing the issue, but said he has not made any preliminary findings.
