The Deposition that was just a bullying session...

I arrived at the law office for the court ordered deposition. Both lawyers wanted to settle so they started asking where are you going with this case; that all the judges were against me in this case. I told them that's not likely because this case has gone on for a year and a half. They misconstrued everything. They said I lost the last motions. Actually I was told I could renew the motions without prejudice. I was called on procedural items. Imagine a pro se, never told to get a lawyer from the get go, forced to do a formal pleading in 30 days and provided discovery and answer discovery in the next 30 days and now expected to know the tiny details that paralegals working for 35 years in the system don't know. Then top that off with the lawyers be allowed 60 days for discovery and 120 days to answer discovery and they did not answer discovery and were not on time.

It is clear that fraud was live and well in the court and so it appeared at the deposition with the court reporter very involved in the whole thing.

The most important thing to remember is that the overtenant who always never had money to do habitable requirements and upon one complaint cried out she was having a nervous breakdown, struck again. She said she didn't have any money for settlement and that this case had caused a separation in her marriage. No surprise to me.

I was told to remember how nice she had been to let me stay in her apartment when this flea bag that I'm dealing with now said the apartment wasn't ready at the last minute. She charged me twice the amount that I rented it per day and she took it out of the deposit. She paid half of the interest she was required to. She also paid the deposit back 30 days late. When I first moved in to her place it was found uninhabitable, everything they covered and painted over was quickly uncovered. It took them two weeks to fix it and that is in quotes. I lived exactly two days in the apartment and they charged me $300. I think these people were really nice to me, right.

The landlord's attorney said that all those uninhabitable conditions were not their responsibility but the overtenants. I told them talk to the overtenant because she says those conditions are yours. That is the reason you are in court for negligence. He was disconcerned, put his head down, all out of vindication and went into his office. When I battled the other law firm back they told me to leave, later they told me the deposition wasn't theirs and they would call me in for theirs on another day and they would file a summary judgment on me. I said you have no grounds and you would be way too late. That I have grounds for a motion for mistrial and I'll file that on Monday. He said that now the judge sees that I settled with the Landlord for $2,000 I'll never get anything. I said now the Landlord is out of the way I'll have just you to focus on and I'll really get on your case. The judge asked both of you to have a deposiiton by a certain date as they were a joined party, his date is up. He said all that joined stuff isn't valid. And the judge was so fond of him, after we had submitted and stood up from the table he said oh by the way that he had not submitted his answer to the summary judgment. She grandmotherly spoke don't worry I'm not going to grant it anyway. That statement is entirely fraudulent, the summary judgment was legit. He lost right then and there.

He was losing ground by the half-second. But I pitied him. Get this the overtenant had not paid him, she didn't have any money. He had done much of the work for free. Wow! and I could not get one single person to help me. The help I got I paid $350 for and it was an interview. They said I had a good case but they feared I would end up paying their fees. Lets see their fees would be 1 million and it was unlikely that kind of money would come out of the case. I did not hire them. I asked them how to get out of the case; I was sick of it and it was too much with going blind and not being able to even see the papers, the bed bugs, the broken toilet, the constant smoke in my room, too too much. So he said get the overtenant's lawyer to draw up a release and ask for $5,000. What I gave them was $1500 to be paid to me over six months, because honestly I don't think they'll even do that. They even gave themselves 5 days to cure. The Landlord would pay me $2000 and that would cover HUD and civil court. That was really generous of me, because their response to HUD was strictly up caca creek once I submit an answer. They lied like a silly goose, they mislead HUD, they were facing more than just some dufus physican pawing all over everything but my lungs.

All that money they have offered on the record has already been spent on the copying, the missing days of work to be in court ordered meetings and filing. The point is that its very troublesome that these people got away with this; that I did not make a dent in their breaches. My work was quite good and thorough; the judges were bought; its clear to anyone reading their paper. Doesn't make sense that the judge would state you can renew the summary judgement as you haven't proven anything. I had the 3m filtrettes photographed in stages and tested in a lab and their was nicotine and the colors were characteristic of second smoke. I had the air measured and recorded by computers on a consistent and fair basis without any traffic, away from closed windows.

I had pictures of the inhabitable conditions and all the correspondences that proved I had taken every legitimate step to cure the condition with the overtenant, the city, HUD, government representatives. I had incredible circumstantial evidence to cover the loss of job and the loss of property was self evident. The evidence for negligence was overwhelming. I have the same sort of evidence for the city and I think that would be worth pursuing.

There is no reason why I should have had to do a formal pleading except for a judge who saw one paper and said I order it and all the judges who did not read but listened only to the lawyers and stated I ordered it. Every single cite that attorney used was just slapped on and I found them irrelevant and was prepared to argue. The judge did not even ask me a question.

Like I said don't take your business to civil court in New York City unless you want it trounced upon. You are their customer and you don't have to take anything to them.

Their pro se office constantly gave me bad direction. I brought my complaint to them several times and they never once stated that I could take it to housing court as a condition of habitability. That is exactly what they should have done. Instead they said my complaint form was the only thing allowed to file the suit. That was entirely wrong.

They are to give procedural information and directions to the proper court and they did not do that correctly.

I asked the judge for an injunction and he told me they don't do that there. Wrong, the injunction is done in the same court as the case is submitted. I asked him about poor person's relief and he said just do the best you can. No provisions were ever made, no liberal or leniency whatsoever. A friend told me that if you were a pro se the judge had to be a lawyer. I so LMAO. I straightened her out on that one. The judge gave advice and suggestions to the attorneys but to me she said get a lawyer. A year and a half of being in court and never told that and now you tell me. Last election I voted for anyone running against these guys; however most of them were running without an opponent. Pretty fishy system; hardly a democracy.

Today I settled my civil court case...

It was getting too too slimey. One of the law firms wanted me to get a medical with one of his paid doctors, he wanted to disprove my disability.

Already I have to go through slimey judges, then slimey doctors? I can win this case that's not the problem. They consume my time at their whim and its cost me way more than what I settled on, all the filing of papers and copying and the cost of proving the oppressive cigarette smoke, the personal sacrifice.

I have a best seller about how New York City is so not smoke free so I'm sure I'll eventually get the damages that way but really, its more to change things that I wrote it. Would you want people who are hundreds time less intelligent than you trying to criminalize you? No you would not.

When I told everyone what that judge wrote and said they said unanimously that she should be removed. Its the ick factor of it all, the creepiness. I just couldn't take it anymore with this new addition of bed bug infestation slime landlord. I wrote him 30 days ago that he must do something. Well he did something he wrote instructions that would entirely ignore my circumstances. Now he is trying to set me up. He made an appointment twice to exterminate. Both times I was in the apartment all day waiting and there was no show. Then the company waits a few days and then writes a letter that I was not home and a) they are going to drill a hole in the door and charge me and now b) that I haven't cooperated with them by providing access to their exterminator so I am in breach of their lease. I'm just waiting for their eviction notice. Can't wait to see the greasy judge evict me. Let's see I pay my rent every month, I was here to let these guys in (though not required to by the lease), I have never changed the locks and I am not responsible for these bed bugs (they were here before I moved in by every neighbors witness statement). This is what the City of New York is, a big bunch of crooks. You can't call 911, or 311 or any of the junk you read on Yahoo!. That's why they call it Yahoo! answers, because its for Yahoos! All they do in New York City is keep a bunch of data, if they like it they print it if they don't they don't print. End of story. You can't even have a meal a day here anymore, groceries cost as much as eating out. The taxes are almost 9%. Its shocking when you see for everything you buy that once tax is applied you can't afford it. Food stamps? Are you kidding that is only for those making $9,000 and less and then only if you have children.

I know all about New York City I've been here for all of its financial crises. Something is uncomfortably wrong about the last eight years. At times the stores and vendors have suddenly doubled the prices and kept doing so and they are allowed. The quality of food is horrendous. Here on the upper east side its just big blobs of food on a plate, nothing refined, the price quire inflated and the tax. The homeless are just sleeping on the concrete on every street. When I arrived in New York City in 1972 old people were going through garbage cans to eat. I think its worse than that now.

If New York City was really smoke free, you would not have to be on your death bed before they said yeah will help you with the 100 smokers surrounding your apartment and in the public areas.

That is why it won't be long before I'll leave this Hell Hole City that I've lived in for 35 years. Yeah if you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere, right. I was already made when I came to New York, I gave to New York, not the other way around. What BS it is. I've lived in every major city in the world and made it, so what. If you are slimey people who cares, I don't want to live with you.

So I just have to take care of this last flea bag for where I live.

Then I am out. I am so happy about it, feeling so much free, soon I'll never have to think about the garbage bag city that tried to destroy me.

I am going far far away. I disown entirely this city, I spit in its face~!

oh yes, and there will be a book, nothing stops me now. I will reveal every slimey law firm, every slimey New York City department and councilmen, all the non-profits that would not help. All their phoney reasons. How it is to be a pro se in civil court and what you really need to know and do. Yes it will be a best seller, because its real and it happened to me.

I think of all the people I helped in this city, all their causes and they never lifted a finger for me, their number is up, because I'm not helping them anymore.

Bill Clinton now knows about bed bugs

http://bedbugger.com/2009/08/23/bill-clintons-offices-have-bed-bugs-according-to-new-york-daily-news/

The only thing missing from the above link is that the #1 way bed bugs are being spread is at the laundromats.

The temperatures are not high enough to get rid of them.

I see these third world guys put their dirty laundry in the clean laundry baskets and sort them before they go into the washing machine and they aren't even using heavily soiled setting. I saw another guy bring in his wet laundry from who knows where and put it in a laundromat dryer.

The #1 place you can cut down on bed bugs is the friendly neighborhood laundry. So much could be done there but duh! what are they doing? Answer: nothing.

My landlords said every building on the street was infested with bed bugs as if the bed bugs just crawled into the building. No my friends, it takes a dog or a laundry bag to bring them in at the very least. I looked on bedbugger and there were no other buildings on this street listed with bed bugs.

Maybe Bill Clinton will start a Bed Bug grant very profitable, almost like Africa.

p.s. Also on second hand smoke:

People also smoke outside the laundromat's door, cigars and cigarettes, they sit in open door cars and on the provided benches. The laundry personnel huff and puff when I ask them to close the door, then when I am not looking they open it again.

Actually just take the benches away, the trash can away (that's where they drop off their dog's poop and take some puffs), no parking anytime signs installed and a huge sign -- no smoking within 10 feet of this sign. The problem should be solved, you would think, give it a try, why don't you, duh.

Their rights? How about my rights to clean and sanitary clothes and fresh air. Imagine you walk to work and the peeps in front of you are smoking and waving their cigarettes all the way up, no fun at all, no fresh air, no rights for the innocent.

The laundromat's dryers smell like stale cigarette smoke and this is a new laundromat the best in the area. Many other people complain but I am the only one who asks them to shut the door.

So how are the coop shareholders when bed bugs or crowds of law breaking smokers strike?

Yeah, good question?

They are all for one and one for all until they suddenly realize their foot is stuck in their mouth and it probably puts them into court as a witness or even worse yet, breach of lease or in the case of the first sordid landlord no more nice rent at $300 a month for one bedroom. Suddenly they dissolve like the molting nymphs when sprayed with 91% rubbing alcohol. I took tons of pictures of that, amazing!!!!

As to the civil court case for second hand smoke that has now meandered for a year and four months:

They like to blame it on me, however giving a pro se a formal pleading to do in 30 days and then 45 days later you expect her to have read two law firms answers as well as their discovery and answer and create your own discovery is the cause and you know that's fraud on their part. They victimized an already victimized plaintiff pro se and then they proceeded to criminalize her. Welcome to the no justice system of New York City.

I was going to bring it up in court in front of a hostile and pre-prejudiced (only in new york) judge. Hmm I didn't want to get the peeps in trouble though they too have fat ugly greedy souls. Yes I could have subpoenaed them. One came to my apartment as I was moving out and I gave her my Breakfast at Tiffany's canvas I had made (because who needs a smoker in the house anyway) and she loved it. She finally told me, the landlord gave her notice to buy her place or move out. She asked again about buying the 2 room apartment I was vacating. She knew of the problems, she was the one who said an apartment like this needed a lot of work before it could be inhabited. You don't see problems like this when you are interviewing for the apartment, you look but you are never good enough for it all. Anything you mention the coop board president disguised as a broker and agent tells you its just a little spot, that's why the 2 room apartment in the ghetto famous for rapes is only $1200 (though he wanted $1350, I said no way). Later the little spot is huge, its been painted over, everything painted over, there are holes in the tub and the overtenant says to the landlord's super, just fix it up the best you can I can't afford to replace it. He tells her she has to replace it. When I left he said he just loved me. I hardly saw him, maybe that's why. The few times I saw him the apartment was having its own huge crises.

The other person, residing below me, told me after a year and a few months of saying she would be an anonymous witness, that she was delivering a child and she would try to get the statement notarized before then. I have that on tape, however I did not use it.

I figure my civil case is so incredibly strong that despite that I know nothing about law and most likely will botch up every painstaking effort, that the judge is prejudiced, that the defendants are entirely uncooperative and that time keeps slipping away, I'll win this case and I'll have made new law. Then I will let the world know how the entire city and state government, not even the federal government, not one single non-profit agency and a couple of law firms would help me with the case. That I was entirely alone in doing it and much of the time I had a full time job and did I mention the smoke was oppressive so you could hardly do anything but faint and wake up the next morning. The saddest thing, the dearest thing to my heart, is that I was not able to go to my dad because I had to show up at court on December 15, 2008. It was another abusive encounter and when it was over I did just barely make it in time to be with him his last two weeks. So that is what is at stake for me all the sacrifices, my art projects, my time with friends and family, my soul, all damaged. I want the world to know that forced eviction happens on a daily basis in New York City. I want the world to do something about it.

As to the bed bugged townhouse on the upper east side in the 80s (yorkville):

The tenants are all about telling you about the bugs and how they think they got there and how they are neglected in the landlord's efforts. Bring up the state attorney general and fort tryon apartments corp. case and they say oh no. Bring up that you had a valid tenant action and they won't get involved in that. Bring up that you are bitten no less than 100 times a day and they say oh well, bed bugs are in this entire building.

As to the smoke and poor ventilation problems and the fact that the apartment was left filthy for my arrival one of the tenants who is on the board said I thought a person had a right to smoke in their apartment after being told his next door neighbor was one of the worst offenders. I said we aren't talking about what rights they have in their apartment, we are talking about their trespass and battery rights in my apartment. He blushed and said no more. Hmm conscience or protecting their rights to let this go on.

Well that just about covers it, don't move into a coop apartment, and if you do or must be sure you are a sizable shareholder and on the board. The judge in civil court told this shareholder about the lack of upkeep in the coop over the years, this case isn't a winner. She boasted she had many coop cases, when you buy into a coop you've bought into a village and your major shareholder (the landlord and developer most likely) are the chief. You got to do what the chief says. The unit owner protested, she said not a winner. He was out sized by the bald headed board of members. I was thinking at the time, wow hell is going to be a funny place, this judge and these bald haired guys regretting their deceit to the citizens of New York City.

See I told you so underreported and undermanaged by the City that does sleep -- Bed Bugs

The bedbug epidemic has smacked around New York City for the past five years or so, a seemingly unstoppable scourge flourishing in the absence of a coordinated city effort to control it. The City Council created a bedbug advisory board in March, but has not yet announced its members. Complaints to the 311 hot line shot up by 19 percent for the fiscal year that ended in June, on top of a 33 percent increase the year before, according to the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

These figures probably underreport the problem: Co-op and condo owners, who control about a third of the city’s housing stock, may not always call the city for help because, unlike renters, they can address building infestations themselves. Nor are renters with less-than-legitimate claims on a lease or citizenship phoning in their distress.--Buying and Selling in Bed Bug City

Additional notes from real experience: we won't call in these bedbugs because we have already experienced the uselessness and fakery of it all; wastes incredible time, frustrating and no result

Also you can go for about three months before your body starts becoming allergic to all these bites. Alot of people never inspect their bottom too. Because...the stupid media reports just a few places and that these bugs operate at night -- that's false as soon as they feel you are not moving and smell the air, you are on target.

I sprayed 91% alcohol on the floor where there were white spots, these white spots formed a pattern where my feet were rested while working on my projects (after testing a non-suspect spot on the same floor and seeing no damage, I sprayed the white spots. All this molting appeared and formed a more informative pattern of how these bugs were feeding off me as I worked quietly and then came with me onto the leather sofa bed. The patterns came from the radiator, the cracks and holes in the floor itself and, as I stated before when they had some sort of fumigation (unwarned or notified) above the bedbugs came crawling out of the ceiling and towards me.

I had put a plastic cover on my bed as best I could and one night there were about 50 bedbugs crawling toward me. They would wake me up with their sharp bites into my muscle, almost paralyzing me for days. I fainted once and my skin was very white.

The eye problem worsened.

Its a serious matter, and probably since this used to be the problem of the very poor or traveller who did not belong to the city, of course it was never reported or medicaid doctors did their duty only look for things the hospital will get funding for, can't find them, create them.

The most offensive aspect of this bed bug problem

That once again landlords are boldly discriminating against a disability.

Their own information states that those with respiratory problems must be away from the fumigated premises for 48 hours after fumigation.

So they ignore my requests.

They know that I must sleep on the item that is infested, they know it is a sofa bed, a leather one, and they ignore it.

One more person to visit on 125th street on Monday. They already know about the beginning discrimination for this new landlord.

what they won't tell you about bed bugs

If you are using a city laundromat the heavily soiled cycle of 20 minutes won't cut it; nor will the34 minutes of high heat cycle. Its not hot enough. The bugs come out biting. Its a health problem you don't hear the city addressing. They are too busy dictating how many days your landlord can hogwash the matter.

That's $2.50 for the heavily soiled cycle and $1.25 for the 34 minutes.

Think about it I have to wash all my clothes about twice a week, several loads.

That's because I have to change out my bed sheets several times a day as well as my clothes.

These guys are putting me through hell, ruining my health and taking the little money I have at poverty level.

I'm adding the enzymatic Oxypowder (another $11.00 with NYC tax) to my next wash in hopes that might take care of it.

My life is not mean't to be doing all this. I'm researching how to start a legal fund for the problems that New York City has created upon me; to start tomorrow. That gold toilet lawyer said their retainer is $10,000 and they bill $100,000 a month. They took $350 for the interview; knowing full well that I lived at the poverty level. They said they don't do any of that help stuff; they are there to make money; they are the best lawyers in the city, they say.

I'm working it all the time

Ever since I started having all these problems with landlords I've been working it.

I've contacted every city and state official.

I saw Mark Green on the street and said we would like to have a public advocate who actually does something, will you be the one? He replied we try to do the best we can.

Well that isn't going to work. Just trying to put up a law against tenant blacklisting isn't going to help the people who are being harassed and threatened everyday, not only by eviction and breach of lease, but by oppressive amounts of cigarette smoke and bed bugs. 30 days is a sociopath's remedy, when you are getting 100 to 500 bites a day and you are doing all you can to prevent it, please let's get real here.

I was in Invite Health store because my eyes started flashing ever since the first pesticide guy came, grey to black film covers them and these sort of bug like things in my vision. I looked it up and 50 years and up get them, sign of disease or damage.

The guy gives me a new york state senator that might help me. That's good because I had not contacted her. My own two city councilpeople ignored and lipserviced me respectively. They do it to everyone, they do not do anything for people who are not showing their largesse at campaign time (which is all the time).

I already listed these landlords on bedbugger site. I have to check if there address was taken down. I'll keep putting it up.

If anyone wants the names of these landlords and their phone numbers and addressses just comment to this post. They will be going up on Twitter on the hour sometime next week. I've already posted it on facebook; the response was glad we don't live in NYC and that would really piss them off. Someone said oh New York City is doing things, I set them straight on that, that's talk, they just talk their silly heads off and do nothing.

A tenant talked to the exterminators, their plan is to steam just the baseboards and seams of the apartment. So if those places have cracks and holes in them then what is the point? That they will use pesticides all over the apartment. They expect us to keep buying pesticides and steri-fabs (hello my couch is leather) and canister vacuum bags and glue kits. They expect us to do all the work. That's not going to happen, sorry. I did not create this situation and I am a rental tenant. I have been living with all my things in plastic boxes for well over a month, all of my belongings elsewise are in plastic garbage bags. My little tiny $1100 a month apartment looks not better than the homeless ghetto on 87th and 2nd.

This city is junk, I've lived here for 35 years and it has never been like this, where every bit of housing is a coop managed by inept sociopathic monsters. Sociopathic? Yes my last landlady said she was there to just show up, she said I just want you to be happy all the time and then she said because I complained about the cigarette smoke several times that I had caused her to have a breakdown. Her sister had made big profits as a slumlord housing more than five people in the apartment (they were addicts supported by city) and she profited. So at $1200 a month she wasn't making enough and she said she was paying my rent. She threatened me in a letter that she submitted to the landlord as exhibit in the federally filed HUD case. There is no lie she won't tell. She signed a waiver on the New York Taxation coop form for fire alarms stating she installed one. She did not. I checked with the taxation department and they have no enforcing arm and yes, she did not submit any proof that she had installed. See how they work it? She submitted a letter to me in a u.s. postal service envelope turned inside out and used with fedex service and her company's postage. Get it, nothing she won't do.

Did anyone think that a person has a life and tons to do, that we do not rent an apartment so we can live with the Devil. We rent it so we can have a peaceful place to go to, a place to sleep. Not a place to face the holocaust. They tortured me just as if for two years. The city lost a great artist who was teaching underprivileged children, they lost great works and they lost a productive citizen. Basically the City just shitted me out into the toilet, had I done anything wrong, no sirree, the city just decided that if you report more than $0 a year or make less than $200,000 a year it just plain didn't want you. You know no announcements, warnings, they just started their purge on behalf of the ugly greedy citizens who had the dough. Yes the same ones who give to Africa over and over again while torturing the human beings who live in their city. The sleep at night after taking addictive sleeping pills, poor, poor souls.

These bugs are not nocturnal and they are very agressive its not just the feet or shoulders, they go for your eyes, your face, your neck and your privates. Its a misery that no human being or animal should go through. I am certain that I am going through a severe case of infestation because of the actions that my landlord took or did not take. They lied about bed bugs 4 months ago, then after the pesticide guy came and scattered further they withheld the info from us. Only three weeks later warning people not to use insecticide bombs in their apartments. Then ignoring my request to do something immediately. The letter followed 4 days of silence from them after their bed bug beagle report of my unit found infested. They took another 7 days and ignored my letter and stated I had bed bug beagles in my apartment and I had to spend a whole lot of money to get rid of them. Then 4 days later they sent a flyer giving an appointment less than 2 days later. I replied instantly that they had obligations to meet before doing their project. They acknowledged and ignored it. There fumigator did not show up. Then more than a week followed and they send me an email stating that they will force entry and charge me for it. I immediately let them know that they have keys to this place and I was here for the appointment, any damage they do they will charge themselves. They ignore my letter. Then another week later they email me, put a flyer on my door stating they have an appointment on the 27th at 10am and failure to provide entry will be a breach of the lease. I immediately email them about the two issues that are supported by New York City law and they ignore. I receive a letter form of their flyer in the mail.

Like I said come Monday these guys have reaped a living hell for themselves as well as those slugs hopelessly sucking their clients in a civil court case they have no chance of winning no matter how many judges they own. Fun is over guys.

Stay away from coops

I've written something like this before. In New York City don't rent from a coop.

The civil pro se office claims they told me that back when.

What I noticed about New York City is that if you rent from a private owner of any kind, an owner who has bought the civil court judges campaigns or believes they somehow own them, you are going to have a tough time if anything in the apartment is not right.

The last rental was from a shareholder of a coop that had a gruesomely pathetic legal record. However what the hey so the attorney general says no coop conversions, they just got themselves a new partner and name and went back to doing the same thing, announcing it to the media quite liberally right under the attorney general's nose while he was valiantly fighting facebook for the privileged class of teenagers in New York City.

Now out of desperation I took an apartment that was a sponsor unit. Even before I moved in there were problems created by the rental agent. He withheld information and wasted my time so that I had to take any apartment. That's right. This new landlord took a $150 application fee and two months deposit for a specific apartment and then turned around and stated that they would choose the appropriate apartment for me. They gave me the apartment that had bed bugs and had never been cleaned. They made modifications on the apartment and didn't tell me until a day before move in that the apartment would be ready a day late. Actually it was two days late and still not ready. Then the landlord partner came to the apartment to bully me and saw that I probably could ice them silly. He said the apartment isn't ready, you shouldn't have moved in. Then he shrugged. Uh, they had two months deposit and the rent and their lease said that if I did not move into the apartment within 10 days I would lose all of that.

These guys are the slime of all slime. Once I cleaned that apartment it was superior to my last apartment and the area was too. However, trust me this is grunge city, so add it all up. These places are hell's garbage can.

When I told them I wanted them to reimburse me for the cleaning, they just said thank you. A couple of days later they sent a rider to the lease itemizing cleaning for the apartment. That means when I move out they will charge me for things that weren't cleaned. Not so fast Charlie. I took every minute picture of this place several times before moving in and every single thing I cleaned I took the most minute picture.

The civil court is corrupt. When I told a knowledgeable person what this last judge said to me they said she needs to be removed. Then when I told the gold toilet lawyer he said you mean that really fat judge that lost alot of weight. She's intelligent. When I told him the things she said in court to criminalize me and that was her track record to do this with anyone who had the least bit of intelligence he was quiet. He had no explanation. Apparently he's won many a case with her. His advice to me about these people was no good, sorry. Oh well it was just an interview. He failed. sorry. Now I know just because you have alot of media coverage doesn't mean you are any good.

I have a plan that will cook all of these landlords goose....Moll Monday, can't wait!

Sometimes the city cuts through my sarcasm

I never thought much of gonyc and about.com hitching up.

However, geek boy is coming in to see me tomorrow and we will go to Jackson Hole and the scottish bar next door (I want to scope out the employment scene disguised as a customer).

Geekboy wants to buy chocolates for his folks so I googled (I know, I should have binged) and the first thing interesting up on the engine was gonyc and about.com. I found their reference to be pretty good reminders.

So cheers! don't let me down with fake bananas, alright.

Save it for the rich

This week is a LMAO off week as far as jobs.

I'm signed up with about six agencies who actually write me every week (some about four times a week) asking about what my work schedule is. You got to know these agencies know me very well I've been working with them for six years or more, ever since I decided that software development had become a joke about the Clinton administration. Yeah we know each other so well that I won a labor department hearing against them (they started it, not me) and they still call like crazy. You have to ride with your thieving enemies in this economy. You are our most talented employee they say. Ha!

Yet nothing. I've been in dire poverty for six or more years, living off my solo 401k, geek boy says I really know my high finance. Most of the time the government owed me help but did not give it to me until I slapped them around a couple of times and then it was too late.

This week one such headhunter whatever agency asked me if she should put me on the inactive list. Hello, I just asked her two weeks ago if getting an ITG grant for paralegal training would get me a job. The answer was no, they are hiring "recent" college grads and they make far less than me. It would be moving down and I would not be qualified, all the other agencies conferred that I had already above and beyond skills than that. This was not helping my ITG grant research at all.

WorkForce1 was a dream because all of the three ITG grants that I wanted to do were nixed by them; i.e., commercial real estate appraiser, litigation analyst (paralegal) and computer network certification. Each and everyone of those dreams was nixed by the WorkForce1 people who say they know, they say you don't need that to get a job. Ha! One of these highly skilled counselors said I could take medical billing training. I LMAO in front of him. I had just got through telling him I went in person to every hospital's employment office and they explained their rejection. Did he listen? There are so many people in the field who are layed off, they take them first. The resume writing teacher at WorkForce1 said the same thing, you don't get into medical billing unless you have the network or have been one already. And actually when she was explaining this to the class, I provided the word network for her. So anyway did I say I ever wanted to do that job and why would I?

I'm going to submit the above three ITG grants' paperwork anyway tomorrow, Saturday. If WorkForce1 refuses any one of these grant requests they have to find me a job; the key word "have" to. Because I've done everyone of their classes and now, come on, tell me what the real reason is. The reason is very simple, come on, be bar owner brave, its called discrimination in three different flavors. That's right, I've taken all of their clinics and honestly, there was not one thing that I did not already practice all these years. Dudes you are late this crisis started with Clinton.

I get work at law firms when they need high-end help, ie. crucial points in bankruptcies. Its so cute the whole of the firm knows me and some of the employees will go to the hiring manager and say you should really hire her she is awesome. The hiring manager will say yes I know she is incredibly talented. Ha!

A year back one of the attorneys I was working for read my blog and said I should work for Bloomberg, I thought that was hilarious. I believe in working smart, not hard. I believe that a computer game on a break is a great idea, I believe women should be allowed to have children and work at the same time, men do so... And if any male employee gave me a hard time, you don't even want to know what I have done in the past to cure them of their inferiority complex. Yes, I LMAO. I would however gladly make a competitive business against Bloomberg, now that is worth it and as soon as this bloody h civil court case is over....If I had one eighth of his money I would beat him, I have way more campaign finesse than he does and my ancestor were mayors, governors etc, i.e. leadership that benefits society is in my genes, not his; such leadership I've proven over and over in my somewhat long life.

I got my bartending license back in 2004 but after each hiring and submittal of paperwork they looked shocked and said you are too old, you are hot!!! but you won't be able to do the work. Did I give up? No I just go every year and take the course again. I think the last time got interrupted because my dad was passing away. I will go again this coming week. The other students were saying I want to sit at her bar, her drinks rock. I think though whoever my future bartender boss is going to be will not agree, because those drinks will cost them a little money :)

I am now applying for a federal grant to go back to school, its kind of a joke, because the employer will say in the 1.5 year that it will take to get the masters that I'm too old.

That's not why I'm doing it though, I want to be doing something other than look for a job from ignorant and fat greedy souled employers.

If I wasn't in this freakin civil court case I would start my businesses, but there is no way in hell that I will let those criminals suck out the future of those gems.

Yeah I got a silver toilet attorney to interview, talk to you later :P

p.s. sorry for the LMAO but I've been playing Facebook's Mafia Wars for over 40 days now, it is such a social statement, what a blast!

Mayor Bloomberg and City Council reduced the distance you may smoke in front of hospital buildings, great!

Now can you tell that my support for Bloomberg is a high form of sarcasm ??

Besides banning smoking within 15 feet of hospital entrances and exits, the law also bans smoking within 15 feet of the entrance or exit of a hospital's outdoor grounds. The law will apply to hospitals, health care facilities including diagnostic and treatment centers, and residential health care facilities.

--American Lung Association Press Release

The Law in New York is that you should not smoke within 100 feet of buildings, and is this enforced? No.

A couple of years ago I wrote one of the mayor's commissioners regarding the smoking at bus stops, in the subway and its tunnels and escalators and they said they would give it a think, ha!

So really I think this is just a press release and nothing more. Perhaps if the scuzzy New Yorkers would just stand still in one given place with their cigarette instead of weaving in and out of crowded streets and roads waiving their lit cigarette in our air, hmm, the person entering the hospital would not be doing so.

Thank you tremendously Mayor Bloomberg for all your campaign efforts, after two terms, ha!

No notice, no response, no care

Yep, I have all my stuff in plastic bags just like these landlords noticed for today's extermination. They didn't show up. They never replied to my email.

Nice!

Ever notice how most of these coops in the city are, the unit owners aren't happy and don't have a voice and can't get any action. The coop sponsors victimize renters and avoid the city.

The last coop and this coop just the same way, same unhappiness, same injustice, same lack of city attention.

Today I did another one of those interviews, this time it was with a gold toilet attorney. He said just send a registered letter and call 911, i mean 311 he said.

I LMAO. Basically 311 doesn't know anything, they are just parasites for the city. They register your information so the city can use it. They always look up info in a database as if you can't google yourself already. We don't want database info we want city involvement, therefore 311 is just another piece of junk that the city makes us pay for.

Yes at the poverty line I get no insurance, no food stamps but I do get to pay sizeable city, state and federal taxes because, somebody gets the hummer, obviously not me.

The Neighbors fill in some more of the missing pieces...

One thing for sure in all these apartments I get to know my neighbors.

They always have the scoop and the stories.

Tonight one told me that a guy had bug bombed his apartment after becoming disgusted with a two month plus delay by these landlords in dealing with a bed bug infestation in his apartment. When he did this it scattered the bed bugs throughout the building.

hmmmm

Last week a neighbor told me that the front two apartments on my floor had bed bugs and the occupants moved out as a result. My apartment was vacated because the guy was getting married. I laughed now that girl is getting a piece of work, who would leave an apartment so disgustingly awful filthy! It took me three days to clean, I documented the whole thing. When you move in to an apartment you want to experience joy not disgust. When I saw the apartment I thought the place was just worn and old, the building was built in 1901, but no, that was filth. Honestly I just wanted to get so far away from the ghetto, so I was going to take old if I had to. There are so many things going on when you look at an apartment, ok next time checklist please and a flashlight, and if I need a flashlight, its definitely not the right apartment for me.

Someone told me that if the previous occupant of an apartment leaves to get married that you'll be next. Oh great, that's all I need.

Anyway the real scoop of the day was that the bed bug removal company is not going to steam the whole apartment. No this is the junior package, they will steam the crevices of the floor and walls and ceilings. That is why they need to poison us with this bed bug insecticide.

I watched this video on the web and I think they are right on.

Effectiveness of structural heat treatment

http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1885314

Another effective invention is a bait box that has carbon dioxide and heat, buh bye bed bug but potential harm to the baiter. That's science. The only thing bed bugs are interested in are blood, carbon dioxide and some heat, not too much.

Diatomaceous soil is very good for terminating a bed bug's time on the bug hitlist. Its probably the cheapest and surest and safest solution, so why don't these landlords do it? http://www.bedbugsguide.com/diatomaceous-soil.htm

Figure this one out; beats me

Ok I am a tenant of bed bug mayhemville

These landlords are clueless. Three months ago I moved in and was told by a neighbor that there were bed bugs here. She didn't know how long I would stay (clue as to what goes on in this building) but don't buy any new furniture and don't put anything on the floor. There are holes in all the floors in the building and the bed bugs are coming through them.

I ask the landlords about this matter (as well as the smoking tenants in the public areas and the surrounding apartments (they are liars as well and they put it in writing that they don't have smoke problems and if they did they would take care of it). The landlords response was manipulative and harassing (ok the civil court pro se's office said mild harassment, but show it to the housing judge clerk). Do you consider this mild? "You don't like our building then move out in 24 hours or suffer the penalty. I ask them what is the penalty? Pay us two years rent by tomorrow. They tell me that I am a squatter as they haven't returned my lease but have two months deposit plus rent. When I say that I have received mail here they tell me I am a professional squatter" Ok they are retarded but I think this is more than mild harassment, I was so shocked at what they said. About them delivering a filthy apartment to me, thank you and on and on. Creepos and lameos put this one with the last landlord.

I figure something is wrong with my closet because my clothes are smelling musty and they itch. I take everything out of the closet and steam it and wash my clothes and put them in plastic bags. It took forever to do that.

Then about two months later this guy with a fumigation gun knocks on my door (Saturday morning about an hour after a guy had hammered on my door and asked if I was hammering at 9am in the morning, right). I ask the gun guy what kind of fumigation and before he can answer a neighbor tackles him and drags him to their apartment. I never see the guy again.

All the fumigation smells come in my apartment and bugs start coming up my bathtub pipes. My eyes start flashing on both sides, and those clouds or spider like things pass before them, later there is film going across my eyes. I research it on the internet and it claims this happens to your cornea after 50. Hmm I'm way past 50 and an eye doctor checked my eyes a couple of years ago and said I had excellent vision. Still these signs are serious, while they may go away, they may not be standard dues for age, they may be the sign of eye damage, disease or blindness.

I'm pretty shaken how in the world am I going to afford an eye doctor?

Then it comes to me these bugs and this fumigation have caused this; some of these bugs were aggressively going at my eyes, I recall being pretty shocked at their agressiveness and wondering what happens when I am able to get a few winks of sleep at night. This is a living nightmare and trust me the city will not do anything, they have their pat little protocol that covers normal situations. You have to take your sponsor apartment landlord to housing court and well, since civil court is totally corrupt, why would you do that? You won't, you are just going to have to work on them yourselves, meaning twitter, facebook and this blog.

These bed bugs and whatever have scattered to this apartment. These landlords knew they had a bedbug problem yet they allowed an exterminator to come in and scatter the bedbugs. The bedbugs can go down the halls, they don't need a body. When you use pesticides bedbugs are not affected but they will move onto more pleasant hunting grounds; i.e. meaning my non-fumigated apartment.

I was aggressively and viciously attacked by these bed bugs with over 50 bites on my bottom and inner thighs. They got inside me because they were in a few of my bathroom visits. I was very ill for a few days, I am very white but I was beyond white and fainting. I have no insurance so I must just try to survive. Just like a couple of years ago I was so sick I got jaundice I just had to survive. That's just the way it is. Like the guy on TV said today if you can't afford a hummer well you can't afford it. I did wonder what catastrophic illness coverage would cost, he was so hip on it. I knew he wasn't educated, that's for sure, wow, duh!

These bedbugs attacked my neck and veins at my ankles last night. Fortunately the refurbished vacuum cleaner came today (I borrowed the money from my 401k plan) and I have hopes that using it frequently might help a great deal.

One thing for sure the health department doesn't know what it is talking about again. I did the work and found that the bedbugs will go anywhere on your body where they can get blood. If bedbugs can't find a human being they'll settle for a rat, a pigeon and on and on. They carry over 40 pathogens. Most people don't know what is happening to them, just like cigarette smoke, they never attribute the health problem to these landlord created problems because the sham of a health department puts out propaganda no known cases or we don't do that. Duh! that's because nobody can afford a doctor, a clinic or a hospital.

These pathetic landlords (who by the way brag that they are vastly better than my last beyond pathetic landlords) did nothing and they knew they had a problem after the fumigation. Weeks later they sent a bed bug beagle around and it found bed bugs at the far end of my bed. Great near where my head lies at night or my feet might be sometimes. That explains all the bed bugs in the bathtub, they are falling off my body and my hair. These landlords did not do one single thing.

I wrote them an email about five days later when the infestation was getting even worse and they did not answer. They took 7-8 days to write a letter that had a ton of misinformation and confusion in it. They were going to charge me for a vacuum, for pesticides, for bags, for a bed bug cover my mattress (wait a minute I don't have a mattress I have a duo leather couch sofa bed). They wanted me to do all this work and spend all this money and I live at the poverty line, I don't even have anything to eat but a few pieces of fruit a day. Give me a break, these dodos are way too much.

Then a few days after the letter arrived a flyer was placed under each unit's doors stating that in less than two days there is going to be a fumigation of each unit. I emailed them and said that if you don't close up the cracks and holes first and if you use pesticides in this apartment or in the building while I am in it I will consider such acts negligence. They did not answer (ok a clerk answered that the email was passed on to the higher powers of which have so far ignored me). Yeah, because I saw about 20 of them figuring out how to put the second door to the building back in (a long story but I did think how many lamo landlords does it take to put a door in a building). I would have had that done long time ago, instead they put us through this banging front door 24 hours for several weeks so far. That door bent my key to pieces, good thing I had made a bunch of copies.

I also informed the above lameos that I had a sofa bed and it is infested and I read that you can't do anything with it, its gone. I wanted to know if they are getting rid of it and if they are replacing it. No answer, just ignored.

Obviously they think that since I have no money I have no power. Think again bud. Let's see what they do tomorrow and then if they continue to be the lame-o's they've been so far well, thunderwoman! will appear.

Now There You Go, Fix the MTA, That will get my vote Mayor Bloomberg!

Bloomberg Calls for Free Crosstown Buses

Yeah, because the people getting on for the most part, have monthly passes, the buses aren't going to lose money, they are going to gain money by being faster. People who would take a cab will enter into the MTA system and that will be helping the traffic congestion. Taxi drivers can always get trained at WorkForce1 for CDL ;) and become bus drivers.

If Bloomberg puts some meat on this kind of thinking, he has my vote.
