Racism practiced by Hi Point 1522 LLC

Complaint against Judge James Chalfant

https://lahousingpermitsandrentadjustmentcommission.com/complaint-against-judge-james-chalfant/

(and racism practiced by the city Los Angeles Housing and Community Investment, rent stabilization, code enforcement departments, REAP, etc.)

(All about racism practiced by Hi Point 1522 LLC. This page shall be used to post copies of communications to property owner Hi Point 1522 LLC about property at 1522 S. Hi Point St 90035. Power Property Management Inc is the management company for Hi Point 1522 LLC. As this is a rent controlled building, many of these communications will be copied to the emails of city employees and officials. Editor note: the previous owner of the property was Hi Point Apts LLC. The new owner as of July 2021 is Hi Point 1522 LLC. The management company pretty much for years is Power Property Management Inc. We will keep posting here until the housing services requested are supplied, or until hell freezes over, whichever occurs first. The property owner can be reached at 520 Pacific Street #5, Santa Monica, California 90405 and email: meghan@boldpartnersre.com. Phone 818-219-1587. Editor note: IMO a good neighbor lady said to me once that housing discrimination is hard to prove. I disagree because I think it is easy to prove: the really really hard part is getting someone (agency, court etc.) to enforce the discrimination laws. In the housing law arena, they use a version of the McDonnell Douglas burden shifting rule: the claimant alleges they are a protected category, the respondent alleges they have a “legitimate business reason” for their actions. The burden shifts to the claimant to prove the “legitimate”reason offered is an excuse. The final decision will be in the eyes of the one who decides. If the “legitimate” reason is shown to be not legitimate, “racism” will likely be ruled in favor of the claimant. Tricky, is it not? You can see from this web blog that it could take one person to award the services requested, but if that one person does not do so, then it will take many to systematically perpetuate housing discrimination. This page is about a rental agreement, and the other laws that may entitle a tenant to an award of financial damages. This page is about the necessity for an intercom system in a multifamily dwelling, and the offering of tandem parking in same building. Does a “murderous” judge maintain that it is a tenant’s fault when a working intercom or extra parking is not supplied? And the Judge keeps the bribe in her pocket. Why does a Judge not want Black tenants to have an intercom? Why does a Judge not want Black tenants to have tandem parking? Why would a Judge not want Black tenants to have secured parking? Why would a Judge not want Black tenants to have health and safety? Reference: https://www.justia.com/trials-litigation/docs/caci/3000/3060/ ).

Communications with city employees Los Angeles

Intercom and Keypad Replaced but Not Working * Tenants Cannot Get Mail or Deliveries* Is this retaliation because Blacks Complained? No Mail Received for Six Days. Mayor and Housing Department Informed.

Health and Safety

What is the intercom used for ?

An intercom system is a device that enables two-way communication between people. Intercom systems also allow building tenants to grant property access to visitors by opening a door or gate remotely. Intercom systems have taken many forms throughout history. (Source: Google)

What is tandem parking?

Tandem parking means that while you are assigned two parking spaces, they are configured like a single spot that’s double in size. Technically, you have space for two cars. (Source: Google)

What is secured parking?

Secured Parking should be interpreted by most as either being enclosed within walls and locked – or having security guards on permanent surveillance to protect the vehicles in an enclosed area. Secured parking means that there are measures in place to create a safe environment. (Source: Google)

POWER PROPERTY MANAGEMENT INC./HI POINT 1522 LLC:

Your email indicates that the kitchen sink faucet was repaired yesterday. You claim there are no open work orders. You admit that maintenance workers were in the unit 9 but refused to repair the intercom as requested.

I am attaching the documents forwarded to yourself and the owner from the city LAHD. The city has the authority to make the repairs to the intercom system and assign the tandem parking as requested, and bill the owner 50% over the cost of the repairs.

You should have an open work order for the intercom repair or replacement unit 9 and for the extension of unit 9 striping to make parking stall #8 a tandem stall since I have been complaining to you since 2014 thru numerous emails, numerous code violations complaints, and numerous court cases. Your conduct is biased and OUTRAGEOUS.

Housing services in this unit are conditioned in the rent agreement upon the rent agreement which requires me to report to you conditions that need to be addressed. Your letter is intentionally, outrageously, and racially ignoring the rent agreement and my request for repairs to the intercom and extending the striping to stall number 8 which is currently a single car stall. Your letter is unreasonable and not in good faith. The rent agreement does not give you the authority to ignore my requests for housing services or continue to harass me because I have complained.

The documents from the city LAHD (12-13-23 and 12-28-23 case CE273371) indicate that your refusing to process a work order for the intercom and parking requested, amounts to harassment and a further violation of the city decision in this matter. I am forwarding your refusal to the LAHD as well as the DFEH complaints in this matter.

You have had ample “opportunity” to comply with my requests and you have refused to do so. I remind you that in a recent court case, the court awarded me $585 or so in damages regarding these issues and proving the violations that have occurred and proving that there was a reduction in housing services.

I consider your email to be unresponsive to my complaints herein. The rent agreement does not entitle you to place limitations on the repairs requested stated herein. I remind you that the County of Los Angeles public health department ordered you to repair or replace the intercom in 2015 and you refused.

If not for racism and retaliation, what is your reason for not having a work order for the intercom repair and parking stall striping?

Thomas Khammar as agent for Hi Point 1522 LLC; Hi Point 1522 LLC, Meghan Hayner (COO).

The new owner is Hi Point 1522 LLC, managed by Hi Point 1522 Managers LLC, managed by Hi Point 1522 Managers LLC, managed by Hi Point 1522 Managers Holdco LLC, managed by Todd Jacobs, associated with Hi Point 1522 TJ Entity LLC, managed by Anthony Jaffe. The property management company for this site is Power Property Management which is at the same address as the other 1522 Hi Point LLC entities above.

Power Property Management as quoted in court papers sued by a tenant who was an attorney

The question is, why didn’t Power do the work in a timely manner.
That evening, Power sent plaintiff an email that sent a confusing message as to the status and repairs of the elevator.
(Power said) Tenants are not entitled to anything relating to the elevator.

Even if the property managers claim to have independently acted in good faith, which is untrue, the knowledge of the defendant is imputed to each property manager, and therefore, after the first purported mistake, subsequent mistakes would not be reasonable. This is true, especially due to Power being the third of three property managers who were committing the same wrongs.
Alleged, power obtained money through extortion from defendant on four occasions.

The defendant and Power, knew or must’ve known, the process would not being used in good faith, because Power was told by a former property manager it was wrong, and the defendant had actual and imputed knowledge, based on the actions of two previous property managers, who had essentially badgered plaintive with the same kind of wrongs.
Power then collected more funds, paid by plaintive under duress on the first day of the next month February. Power again deposit the funds by cash, and to check, even though they were clearly marked as paid under duress.

Power was wrongfully, submitting a tactic and bad faith to implement a raise of rent without following the proper procedure, but instead used a wrongful process to inflict pain and suffering and to cause stress on the plaintive.
Power was notified of certain significant problems with the elevator in the properties, call box (intercom) , as well as other lesser problems with the building. (Los Angeles Superior Court Case 19STCV18302. Nelson v. Fox Hills Drive. Filed May 26, 2019.)

There is an abandoned vehicle at parking stall #4. It has been there in the same shape since before 2014. Of course the tenant is white and that is the white privilege afforded to him as a white tenant, courtesy of the biased Power Property management Inc. Nisi Walton, where the white tenant is not subjected to the racist, murderous* conduct for having storage or misc items on the property (abandoned vehicle).

This shall be my further response to the email of Thomas Khammar of November 28, 2022 at 10:29:50 AM PST (see below copy):

I consider the email of Thomas Khammar to constitute a threat of physical violence against myself, my roommate, my friends, quests, relatives, delivery persons, and all those who support tenant rights. Power Property Management, Inc. and its employees, should not have a real estate broker license to make such threats.

Me and my kind (myself, my roommate, my friends, quests, relatives, delivery persons, and all those who support tenant rights) have the God given right to take efforts such as this email in order to protect our health and safety from the monstrous Power Property Management Inc.

My repeated code violation complaints, requests for housing services,
discrimination complaints as stated herein are not frivolous, not without merit, and are for legitimate purposes. The rent agreement provides for maintenance and parking, thus proof my complaints are valid and not frivolous. The address property has 18 units and parking for 27 vehicles. In a court case, Walter Barratt previous owner, told the court I was not entitled to repairs or parking, violations of the rent agreement. However, under the current owner and yourself as management company, you (Khammar) told the court that the intercom repairs would be made when the building is rewired (IMO a fabrication on your part) and that tenants unit 9 already have a tandem parking stall (another fabrication since stall 8 is a single stall). In these court statements, you did not indicate that I was not “entitled” to such services nor does your statements to the court indicate my requests are frivolous or without merit. You have accepted rent payment for December 2022 which clearly indicates on the check that payment is made under duress and for repairs intercom and tandem parking. White tenants on this property have the privilege of parking and the privilege of a working intercom.

In response to my emails, you could have simply said that the intercom will be repaired within 30 days and the parking will be provided within 30 days, but instead you make threats of physical violence; this is not acceptable. Your real estate broker license and city business license do not authorize you to make physical threats, or act in a racist manner.

Under civil code section 1940.4, tenants are allowed to post political signs on their window or door under certain circumstances. I am certain you are not complaining/retaliating about such rights.

There is a sign on my car (see attached photo) that is protected activity. I don’t imagine you are complaining about that? I am told by Google that such sign and others like it have gotten over 1 million views on the worldwide web and Google Maps, and I did not tell Google to circulate such photos worldwide. Are you mad at Google Maps? This is what the sign says:

Power Property Mgmt. Inc
and Skylight Properties

Deny housing services to Blacks

Google “Racism Hi Point Apts”
Says Walter Barratt

Finally, please allow me fair and reasonable opportunity to respond to your attacks on my right to engage in protected activity. For every sentence, for every word of your email below Nov. 28, please specify who, what, when, why, where, dates and times, each act occurred and how was it brought to my immediate attention and what was my response. Names of tenants or others should be included. If I do not hear from you in a reasonable time, I will conclude that your claims are bogus and for purposes of further racism and retaliation. I remind you that complaints to government agencies are not considered harassment, and such complaints are protected activity.

This will be posted to the city clerk Public Records site and from there to the worldwide web.

Dear Power Property Management and property owner Meghan Hayner at Bold Partners:

Your email is vague and lacking in specificity as to make it unintelligible.

It is apparent that you and those aligned with you do not understand English. I am again asking you to repair the non-working intercom of which yourself and others said —and you said to the courts—that we are entitled to repairs since you said the building needs to be rewired. You also said in court that we are entitled to a tandem parking stall or parking for two cars because you told the Judge that we already have a tandem parking stall, which stall #8 is not a tandem parking stall. You have not raised any legitimate excuse for why our intercom is not repaired and why the parking for two cars has not been provided. The real reason why these housing services are not provided is because Power Property Management, Inc, and the property owner, and those aligned with you, are Racist, in violation of the state Unruh Act, and you are engaged in unlawful retaliation. Your email is evidence of the retaliation and can be used in evidence if you attempt an unlawful eviction of myself. Your email is an unlawful threat.

Your email is evidence of your retaliation that violates the local housing laws as well as state discrimination laws.

The courts have actually ruled on my favor on a number of occasions. In some instances where there was a “dismissal without prejudice”, that means that the court did not rule on the merits of the case. In addition, a month to month rental agreement, when renewed by the payment of rent, renews the contractual agreement of the parties. You have no problem taking my rent money each month but refuse to provide the services requested.

You alleged that you, Brent, and Meghan, have not made “racist” statements, but you do not deny that your denial of housing services to me is indeed “racist”.

I am only complying with my duties on the rent agreement to act in a reasonable and good faith manner and report the need for housing services, as the rent agreement authorizes me to do so. Maybe because of the country you come from, you do not recognize the legal rights of Americans.

You allege:

“You have made it your business to interfere with the rights of others to quiet enjoyment, to interfere with the ability of the lessor to rent units at the building, and, as I write above, to defame ownership and management. All of the rights of ownership and management with respect to your nuisance, your lies, and your defamatory false allegations are reserved. This is the only warning you will receive regarding these defaming lies.”

Your allegations lack specificity as to what you feel has happened and what corrections you expect to be made. I have not received any complaints of any specific nature from any person or tenant. You remember that ownership made similar allegations in court on two occasions and the court refused to award the owner and PPM any damages. Remember?

Please detail how I have interfered with your ability to rent units, how I have defamed ownership and management, what are the nuisance, lies, and defamatory false statements you allege? These are similar allegations you made to the courts before for $25,000 dollars in damages and $10,000 in damages against me, and the court rejected you damages twice. Remember? Please provide the contact information and names of any persons who have complained and date, time, place when it was brought to my attention.

I can use this email chain and get this matter before the court in about two hours; will you have any objection?

The city clerk has published to the internet a number of documents about your illegal activities. Will you go after the city clerk also?

Dear Mr. Johnson:
I saw that you are at it again, deliberately spreading defaming lies.

For the record, your lies are both blatant and despicable; moreover, they are calculated and deliberate, with full knowledge of their falsity, and yet you go ahead and utter them anyhow to all and sundry.
Neither Brent nor I has ever made any such racist statements, nor would we ever do so.

You have made it your business to interfere with the rights of others to quiet enjoyment, to interfere with the ability of the lessor to rent units at the building, and, as I write above, to defame ownership and management.

You have lost every single small claims action on your meritless and, as the Court has found, wholly unfounded claims.

I note that there was no attempt by maintenance to extend the striping to make parking stall #8 into a tandem stall and there was no attempt to repair or replace the non-working intercom in unit 9. The noise of repairs in unit 18 violates my right to quiet enjoyment, and did disturb my quiet enjoyment.

The curb in front of the building also needs repair, as reported numerous times to code enforcement.

New discrimination complaints have been filed against you regarding denial of housing services intercom repair and tandem parking at this address.

The CRD/DFEH case number is 202211-18897616.

Today between 3:00 and 5:00 pm. I believe the home sharing tenant above, who has rented out unit 18 to another home sharing person, was engaged in acting like the apartment is a gym.

Could you please advise the home sharing occupant that it damages our peaceful enjoyment of our unit when the person uses unit 18 to run track, jump up and down, bounce balls, exercise, or otherwise use the unit for activities that should be done outside or in a gym. Today due to the actions of the person in unit 18, my peaceful and enjoyment was disturbed.

Also, maintenance crews were on the site today working in unit 1. No attempt was made to repair the non – working intercom in unit 9, nor was there are news telling unit 9 what tandem parking stall we are assigned to.

Attention:

Hi Point 1522 LLC, Meghan Hayner (COO):

I am a Black, male entitled to all the housing privileges as listed under the state Unruh Act. By your actions, I am being denied the housing services working intercom, maintenance to the intercom, parking tandem/two cars.

2. That a motivating reason for Hi Point 1522 LLC and Power Property Management Inc.’s conduct was GEARY J. JOHNSON’s race, Black, and sex, male.

3. That GEARY J. JOHNSON was harmed; and

4. That Hi Point 1522 LLC and Power Property Management Inc.’s conduct was a substantial factor in causing GEARY J. JOHNSON’s harm.

On or around September 11, 2022, the USPS attempted to deliver a package to me but because the intercom does not work, they could not alert me and the package was not delivered. As a result on September 12, 2022, I spent eight hours at home waiting for the package to be delivered and waited outside for the delivery. USPS was finally able to get in the building but the package was damaged and open. Damages to me are 8 hours x $20/hour = $160. Please remit payment to the address below. All rights reserved.

I remind you that recently on this matter that the owner’s agent Thomas Khammar said that my roommate and I are entitled to maintenance to the intercom and entitled to the tandem/2 car secured parking, as part of the rental agreement and housing services provided.

FYI: this unit is cable ready, which means there is already a wall installed pre-wired coaxial hookup for cable, which to me means permission by the owner. What is this owner tripping on?

Geary, if you do NOT have a satellite dish on the roof, then you can ignore it. It was sent as a building wide communication. If you do, and it is attached to the building, you need to remove it. End of story.

The statute of limitations on breach of the agreement is four years, generally.
So you are limited in claiming damages that occurred as far back as four years.
If I can gather evidence that proves we did not have satellite disk (or equivalent) within the last five years, you do not have grounds to claim damages for its removal since there is no proof it was put there by us in unit 9.
In other other words, you do not claim to have any proof that the alleged satellite disk was put there by tenants unit 9 within the last five years.
What you are alleging is akin to saying something occurred 20 years ago, and today you are going to claim damages. I don’t think the law works that way.
That is besides the fact you have no proof we put it there (or the previous owner put it there) and you have no proof that the previous owner did not give us permission at some point to have satellite disk. All right reserved. Geary J. Johnson Phone ( )

“(Re Emmett Till). Several nights after the incident in the store, Bryant’s husband Roy and his half- brother J.W. Milam were armed when they went to Till’s great-uncle’s house and abducted Emmett. They took him away and beat and mutilated him, before shooting him in the head and sinking his body in the Tallahatchie River. Three days later, Till’s body was discovered and retrieved from the river.”

“There was some kind of scuffle two hundred yards down the street, again strangely noiseless, and a huddled knot of men opened up to reveal two brawlers being separated and pulled away from their fight. What I saw next gave me a fright: in the farther distance, beyond the listless crowd, the body of a lynched man dangling from a tree. The body was slender, dressed from head to toe in black, reflecting no light. It soon resolved itself, however, into a less ominous thing: dark canvas sheeting on a construction scaffold, twirling in the wind.”

― Teju Cole, Open City

Dear Hi Point 1522 LLC et al:

There has been no response from you as to the non-working intercom system in unit 9, and the request for tandem parking. Besides Ku Klux Klan racism on your part, what is your reason for the lack of response? Below I list many of my email communications since August 2021 on these issues, to show that I have made you aware. (This does not include faxes, post cards, and other forms of communications).

The owner has installed in some units (presumably without city permits) mini-ductless air conditioning units but has not offered such housing service to unit 9 tenants as Black Americans; we have also not been offered the keyless door entry system some tenants have, another discriminatory act prohibited by the state Unruh Act.

I have received your letter dated 9/7/22 “Re: Satellite Dish/Storage/Misc Items”. (attached).

I am mystified for numerous reasons:

* You claim there are satellite dishes on the property. Unless you will supply a picture or more specific info, I am not aware of any satellite dishes, or where they are located or how to get to them.

* You allege that the dishes are our equipment, but you provide no proof of that such as any satellite dish agreement. Perhaps you are speaking of satellite dishes that were there before we moved into this building.

* You allege you will “charge (us) for the removal” but you do not cite any specific authority in the rent agreement for you to do so.

* You refer to the FCC and State of California guidelines but you seem to be too ignorant to provide a copy of those guidelines or any section thereof.

* You allege attaching a Satellite Dish Addendum, but none is attached.

* You also have not quoted any specific section of the rent agreement which says we have to remove such equipment or have to reimburse you for such removal, nor do you mention any rent stabilization rules which entitled you to treat us tenants in such a harassing manner.

* You also have not provided any evidence that the previous owner did not agree (prior agreement with the owner previous to Hi Point Apts LLC) which very well may have permitted tenants to install a satellite system. I have seen past workers removed what looked like satellite disks and tenants were not charged for the removal.

* You maintain we must have the alleged satellite disk removed. As ignorant as ever, you are ignoring the fact the rent agreement does not allow us to make any repairs or alterations to the property unless we get the owner permission and use the owner’s repair personnel; thus we are not allowed to remove any alleged satellite disk nor does the rent agreement say we will be held financially liable for such removal. In this instance, your harassing letter violates the rent agreement.

Letter to the Editor Published by Random Lengths News- published September 1, 2022, page 9

What a financial waste to mail out election ballots to about six million registered voters and get a 30% return. RLN Aug. 18: “Which Way LA”. Backwards or Forwards”. Has either candidate for Mayor attended a council meeting in the three years before the start of their campaign?

Los Angeles government is at a standstill, spinning its wheels and the Public sees the shell game. This city and its politicians face: government sponsored systemic pattern and practice housing discrimination; racist millionaire landlords; the need for criminal penalties for violating the tenant anti-harassment ordinance and the home sharing ordinance; racist and unethical practices of the planning, zoning, rent control, city clerk, neighborhood empowerment, and code enforcement departments; anti-diversity gentrification that is ridding this city of the middle, affordable, and low income residents; the need for a moratorium on market rate apartments; the need for an election nominating process that is strictly online; election and contribution limits capped at $5,000 per candidate; the dollars , unaccountable to the public, spent by the Metro and the Mayor’s Fund; denial of constitutional rights; the need for more training of Police on civil rights and the state Unruh Act; the need for housing that is “full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges or services of every kind” (CC 51); slavery reparations to Black citizens; a solution for increased traffic and parking congestion.

That is what I think about when I realize we face the election of the lessor of two evils for Mayor.

Date: Thursday, September 1, 2022 at 01:23 PM PDT Dear Hi Point 1522 LLC, et al:

As a proximate result of your actions and omissions, I continue to suffer damages financial and otherwise due to your lack of repair/replacement of the intercom system and denial of tandem parking stall. I also suffer new damages due to your breach of the rental agreement.

You have failed to provide any legitimate business reasons for your actions in this regard. State law is that 35 days is a reasonable time period for repairs to be addressed.

You have stated that in order to repair the intercom you need to do a complete rewire of the entire building; city employee(s) have written me that in order to repair the intercom unit 9, there is no need for a complete rewire of the building. Therefore your words regarding intercom repair are a false/fraud statement. As you know, the breaker box that controls the intercom is in the hallway, not in the unit.

My rent agreement section 18 states, “Designation of parties: the term ‘owner’ includes a ‘manager’, ‘agent of the owner’, ‘management company’, ‘Trustee of a Trust’, or any other person or entity acting on behalf of the owner as the Lessor of the premises entitled to rent the premises, collect the rent of the premises, and prosecute eviction actions.” “Renter shall (redacted) …properly use and operate all electrical, gas, and plumbing fixtures”…advise owner immediately of any equipment malfunction…..renter shall not repair any damage…except thru licensed, insured professionals approved by the owner in advance in writing.” I am not able to operate the electrical intercom system because it does not work.

The agreement specifies that the owner may enter and inspect the premises without renter’s presence, but with (proper and) reasonable notice “for any lawful purpose.” Thus, owner cannot require the renter to be present for any entrance into the unit.

Evidence of renter’s good faith shall be “written proof of owner’s knowledge and opportunity to repair any claimed housing deficiency….”. Service of documents by the LA County Sheriff document, and the owner agent’s appearance at recent court hearings, are written proof of owner’s knowledge and opportunity to repair.

New Damages

1. Rent prorated amount for housing services not provided
2. PCH contest notification only occurs when PCH contacts tenant by use of intercom. Loss $5,000 to $10,000 per week since intercom not useable.
3. Auto damages due to parking outside of secured gated parking: paint damage costing $100 to repair monthly, due to construction vehicles in the neighborhood.
4. Stamps and envelopes 8/22/22. $17.80.
5. Copy paper. CVS. 8/23/22. $12.43.
6. Post cards blanks. 8/23/22. Cost $19.95
7. Post cards mailed postage and cards. 8/23/22. $6.36.
8. Lyft costs ride-share due to not moving car for street sweeping. July 18, 2022. $5.55. July 19, 2022. $21.70.
9. Post cards mailed 6/26/22. $25.60.
10. Intercom part. Amazon. 7/3/22. $25.88.
11. Priority mail to Power Property management. $7.75.
12. Fax costs monthly. $7.00 per month.
13. Labor trying to figure how to repair intercom since no response from your maintenance crew. 6 hours x $20/hour = $120 from 8:30 to 2:30 pm. 8/15/22.
14. Researching intercom repair on internet. One x $20/hour. 6:30 am-7:30 am. 8/16/22.

Lack of Integrity of the Judicial System

Murderous racist Judge and the murderous racist landlord

MONTH-TO-MONTH AGREEMENTS

A month-to-month agreement is a 30-day contract. Each time you pay rent, you renew the contract for another 30 days. https://dcba.lacounty.gov/portfolio/rental-agreements-and-leases/

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN/ HI POINT 1522 LLC:

I have read the court decision of June 30, 2022 for Superior Court Case 21STSC04819. The decision is neither factual nor is it in compliance with the law. The decision does not affect the rights and duties under the rent agreement and applicable laws.

For the month of July 2022, and thus far August 2022, I continue to be financially and otherwise damaged by your actions of not repairing the intercom system and not providing the entitled secured tandem parking stall. I bought a new intercom unit for the apt and office stationery items for which I will be sending you a bill shortly.

Unless this matter can be resolved rather quickly, I anticipate filing another court action against you.

To whom it may concern Hi Point 1522 LLC:

Amen pest control was here about 12:45 pm. Not termites but pantry and carpet bugs. He found two more in cabinet. He said they don’t eat food wastes but come from boxes like all the boxes and activity upstairs, or from Amazon boxes, i.e shipping containers. He said they have to do pest control treatment.

My opinion further is that the bugs are coming primarily from upstairs and since there is illegal home sharing, there is a frequent movement of personal belongings from people moving in and out on a monthly basis. I distinctly remember some scruffy looking types moving in with bags and bags of items and perhaps they brought the bugs in with them. There is also an indication the bugs could be coming from the crawlspace underneath the building and openings in the walls that lead into our kitchen from the parking lot and particularly from the kitchen ceiling. If such openings coming the from the unit above, the health department will have to be notified, i.e holes in window screens etc. We are a witness to any home sharing activity occurring in the unit 18 above us.

We have lived here over 10 years and only now do we see such bugs, which are caused by the activity of the home sharing units and guests.

Dear Power Property Management Inc dba Hi Point 1522 LLC:

About 3:00 pm. I received your “Notice to Enter Premises” (Attached).
Below I quote CC section 1950.5(f) as that is checked off in your notice.
Your notice is a false statement and abuse of section 1950.5 CC and harassment of me.

Since your notice is false, therefore it is inadequate to allow entry under those circumstances. No waiver of the right to sue you for fraud and false statements is waived if you are allowed to enter the unit.

You cannot use this section CC 1950.5(f) to lawfully enter the premises unit 9 because:

1. There has been no notice of either party’s intention to terminate the tenancy 2. There has been no notice to tenant of the option to request an initial inspection 3. Tenants have not vacated the premises
4. There has been no 48 hour prior notice of such inspection

I have gone over this with your company numerous times before and you intentionally refuse to comply.

CC section 1950.5(f)
(f) (1) Within a reasonable time after notification of either party’s intention to terminate the tenancy, or before the end of the lease term, the landlord shall notify the tenant in writing of the tenant’s option to request an initial inspection and of the tenant’s right to be present at the inspection. The requirements of this subdivision do not apply when the tenancy is terminated pursuant to subdivision (2), (3), or (4) of Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure. At a reasonable time, but no earlier than two weeks before the termination or the end of lease date, the landlord, or an agent of the landlord, shall, upon the request of the tenant, make an initial inspection of the premises prior to any final inspection the landlord makes after the tenant has vacated the premises. The purpose of the initial inspection shall be to allow the tenant an opportunity to remedy identified deficiencies, in a manner consistent with the rights and obligations of the parties under the rental agreement, in order to avoid deductions from the security. If a tenant chooses not to request an initial inspection, the duties of the landlord under this subdivision are discharged. If an inspection is requested, the parties shall attempt to schedule the inspection at a mutually acceptable date and time. The landlord shall give at least 48 hours’ prior written notice of the date and time of the inspection if either a mutual time is agreed upon, or if a mutually agreed time cannot be scheduled but the tenant still wishes an inspection. The tenant and landlord may agree to forgo the 48-hour prior written notice by both signing a written waiver. The landlord shall proceed with the inspection whether the tenant is present or not, unless the tenant previously withdrew their request for the inspection.

If you feel you have complied with section 1950.5(f), please provide the written documentation TO ME immediately.

24 HOUR NOTICE OF ENTRY IS NOT WAIVED. You are welcome to enter and you will do so at your own peril of giving false and fraudulent notice.

To whom it may concern:

INTERCOM

The intercom this unit remains unusable. The control box on the outside of the building lists unit 9 as having a working intercom. Please repair or replace the intercom today without further delay. Alternatively, without waiving any rights, please have your maintenance people contact me so that I arrange to pay for the repair of your intercom system. That is my option as detailed in the rent agreement.

Power Property Management Inc is the management company contracted with the owner to coordinate maintenance at this building. There is no indication in the rental agreement that the intercom can be legally excluded from repair or replacement.

I have spent over $200 worth of labor (10 hours @ $20 per hour) seeking a solution to the intercom repair by doing research, making inspections, contacting electricians, over the past 3 months. In order to maintain a street parking stall, I have had to incur the expense of doing errands by using ride sharing services instead of my car, money damages that are a proximate result of the owner not supplying us with a tandem/extra parking stall.

The owner of this building has stated that the intercom can be repaired if the entire building is re- wired; city housing employees have written me that the building does not have to be re-wired in order to repair the intercom. The state laws state that 35 days is a reasonable time to make repairs. It has been well over 35 days since the repairs have been requested.

PARKING

Speaking for Hi Point 1522, LLC, Thomas Khammar has said it is the owner’s intent that we unit 9 be assigned to a tandem parking stall, and Khammar said we already have a tandem parking stall. I am again requesting that management provide us with the correct number of the tandem parking stall that we are assigned to. The current parking stall #8 is a single car stall per the CFO of the building.

The rental agreement establishes liability of the parties: (section 18) Designation of parties. The term “owner” includes a “manager”, “agent of the owner”, “management company,” “Trustee” of a Trust, or any other person or entity acting on behalf of the owner as the Lessor of the premises entitled to rent the premises, collect the rent for the premises, and prosecute eviction actions”.

The city records state that code enforcement over the past year have notified the owner at least 11 times of my herein complaints, as well as numerous emails to the management company, and service of documents by the Sheriff’s department on the management company and the owner.

The city RSO, Housing, and REAP departments are being contacted by emails herein.

Certainly city employees are not so unintelligent that they do not know what an intercom and parking stall is, since thousands of residents across the city have them.

TERMITES

In my opinion, due to illegal home sharing occurring in unit 18 above us, and due to other unnecessary maintenance caused by the illegal homes sharing above us, there is either new wood being installed or old wood torn out, or the floor above is constantly being redone/waxed on a monthly basis more or less, such that there is an infestation of termites in our unit. I suggest that the building may have to be tented. Management has for months ignored my legitimate housing requests; if this is not addressed in a few days, I will contact the County Health department. Here is a link of the bugs pictures and video if you can share it with your repair people.

Re: Mailbox lock repair – New damages related to denial of intercom maintenance and denial of tandem parking at 1522 Hi Point St

To whom it may concern Hi Point 1522 LLC and related entities and Power Property Management Inc. thru its email and agent Thomas Khammar:

New evidence as of June 1, 2022 indicates the intercom is still not repaired or replaced and we are still without a tandem or extra parking stall. According to city documents, there are 18 units and 27 parking stalls. Stall #8 is a single car stall. Stalls 13-19 are tandem car stalls.

According to your testimony to the court, and documents you filed with the city, parking is included in the rent and no tenant pays a separate fee for parking.

I anticipate new damages over the next five months for purchase of intercom parts, fuel related charges, post cards and postage, new code violation complaints, auto detailing as a result of my car being damaged by sprinkler systems.

I anticipate a new lawsuit being filed within 6 months.

There is something else in the building which is a need of repair which is causing the owner a considerable expense. I am afraid to report it because I was sued by the owner for $35,000 because I made housing service complaints.

I remind you that some units have received duct (MINI-DUCT) air conditioning units. This is being reported to the DFEH because this violates the fair housing laws as this privilege has not been afforded tenants unit 9. The city REAP department is being notified.

I remind you that around May 14 2022 at our request, maintenance was in the building and repaired the mailbox lock. No attempt was made to repair the unit 9 intercom or provide tandem parking stall. I consider your actions to be malice, oppression, or fraud.

Please supply me with the correct number of the tandem parking stall that owner Hi Point 1522 LLC has assigned us to, and provide a second gate opening clicker.

I also had a recent conversation with PPM employee Cynthia Reynosa where she indicated Hi Point 1522 LLC was interested in offering us a buyout of $50,000 and contingent upon the intercom repair/replacement and assignment to a tandem parking stall. What is the status of that offer from the owner?

Dear Mayor:

Illegal home sharing is occurring at this rent controlled building. Please order the arrest of any persons on this property illegally as this is also a violation of the nuisance laws and trespassing laws. The persons who are conducting illegal home sharing in about 11 units, are also parking in the parking lot illegally. The property address is 1522 Hi Point St 90035. For those who park here illegally, I can supply the license plate numbers.

Ann Sewill, Director, Catherine Taylor-Gomez, Tricia Keane, Mike Feuer:

The filing of a complaint with HCIDLA, RSO, REAP, or code enforcement gives them jurisdiction over all matters in the complaint.

The HCIDLA and others claim they do not have jurisdiction over the intercom system in this building. FALSE. They have jurisdiction by nature of my complaints.

The city claims the Intercom system was not functioning at the time I moved in in 2010. FALSE. I already provided a note to the city which indicates by 2014 the intercom had stopped working. The note — from the owner and management—indicates the intercom was working prior to 2014, because the note says it had stopped working, which means it had to be working in order for it to stop working. This note attached is again provided to the city and the DFEH.

Other than racism and retaliation, the city government departments have not raised a legitimate reasons for their failure to address the intercom and the parking requested. The intercom and 2 car tandem parking were available at the inception of my tenancy.

The intercom control box on the outside of the building show my unit number which is number 9. This box and entry code box was approved by the city government in 2015 (re “capital improvements”) thus the city authorized the installation of the new 2015 intercom system which has my unit number on it. Under the state Unruh act, I am entitled to full and equal housing services, which I am not getting the benefit of such services, a privilege freely afforded to white tenants.

To whom it may concern:

At the Friday, May 14 court hearing on this matter Walter Barratt, employer of Power Property Management Inc., told the court that he was willing to provide us with a tandem parking stall if we paid $50.00. He basically regurgitated this from 2014 because from 2014 to now, he admitted that he negligently had not responded to my inquiries about parking, essentially telling me by his silence that the tandem parking was not available.

Let’s examine the parking problem, for the sake of negotiation. (1) The state housing discrimination laws prohibit a landlord from refusing to rent housing services by telling a tenant the services are not available (tandem parking) and the same laws prohibit a landlord from singling out a tenant for unfair treatment and setting different terms and conditions for such tenant. Walter Barratt has done all these things and thus has violated the fair housing laws. (2) Retaliation because I complained is unlawful. By not assigning our unit 9 an available tandem parking stall with no extra charge, he has continued to unlawfully retaliate against me because I complained. Walter Barratt works with his agent, resident manager Kassandra Harris. (3) The rent agreement shows that the cost of parking is included. There is no indication there will be an extra charge for parking. Therefore, Walter cannot charge $50.00 for parking. (4) Walter has filed with the City rent registry documents that show that for all units at 1522 Hi Point St, parking is included in the rent. There is no indication in these documents that any tenant is being charged a separate fee for parking. Thus, Walter has singled me out for unfair treatment. It is true he could post a sign in the common area that “tandem parking is $50 extra” but that would be incongruous because (1) many tenants already have rent agreements in which they may already have a tandem stall at no extra charge and (2) it would not apply to tenants where tandem parking was available at the inception of their tenancy. But of course, no such sign is posted.

Of course, if I was to pay $50 under these circumstances, I would be infringing upon my right to claim discrimination and I would waive my right under the LAMC: that a landlord can charge an additional fee for housing services only if the service was not available at the inception of the tenancy.

Contrary to what the biased and retaliatory city employees have stated, tandem parking in 2010 was “available” at the inception of unit 9 tenancy. I have pictures of unit 9 parked in tandem stall 14 and another tenant parked at stall 8; the city employees refused to admit that another tenant was assigned to stall 8, proving that unit 9 was assigned to stall 14, the rent agreement being a clerical error.

In summary, the landlord is without authority to charge unit 9 $50 for tandem parking because it would constitute unlawful different terms and conditions; it is not agreed to in our rental agreement, and the landlord is without authority to charge $50 for tandem parking because such fee would violate the LAMC that does not allow an added fee for services that were available at the inception of the tenancy.

I am surprised the owner brought this $50 up last week because I disposed of his argument years ago. Even when sued in federal court 2015, he never filed an “answer” to the complaint and never alleged the $50 fee. Of course, he still does not admit the fee would be unlawful. I told the court on May 14 that unit 9 already pays the $50 because parking is included in the rent.

Walter at the hearing spent a lot of time saying he felt harassed by reading articles on the internet. He complained about seeing the words “Racism at Hi Point Apts” on the internet and that such sites were directed at him. I have attached a Google page showing that there are numerous apartments with the name or similar “Hi Point Apts” and some are out of state. I also remind the parties that many of the documents that Walter may be reading on the internet are documents published to the internet by the Los Angeles City Clerk’s office. I guess Barratt will now sue the City government for harassment. There is a cause and effect, that Walter seems unable to comprehend, that if he had provided the intercom maintenance and tandem parking in 2015 as requested, I would not have grounds to complain now.

Walter said in court that I, as a tenant (Black) am not entitled to fair housing or housing services. I disagree because the “entitlement” comes from federal, state, and local fair and civil rights housing laws as well as the rental agreement.

(Power Property Management Inc Reviews)

In a few short years, two tenants died in the building. This building has been in newspapers and internet blogs under the title “racism hi point apts.” Numerous lawsuits claim the owner Hi Point 1522 LLC, Power Property Management Inc practice racism as defined by the Unruh Act. One tenant who complained for years about denial of housing services was sued by the owner for $35,000 in retaliation but the court denied the owner damages. Racism complaints are still pending. The owner and management company make false statements all the time and feel tenants do not have legal rights. The hot water goes out on average for a few days 3 to 4 times per year. I am tenant over ten years.The owner frequently breaches the rental agreements. Overpriced. Illegal home sharing. Over 200 code violation filed against this rent controlled property. The FBI has been asked to investigate says sites posted by the Los Angeles city clerk office. The management company is Power Property Management Inc. aided by Skylight Properties and a site called liveboldla.com. Recently the owner told a complaining tenant that their intercom would be repaired after the entire building is rewired and that the tenant already has the requested tandem parking stall. The owner lied because the intercom can be repaired without rewiring the building and the tenant complaining has a single car stall, not a tandem stall. The owner refuses to identify which tandem stall the tenant should be in. Recently tenants were told to remove satellite TV disks or face damages but the owner refused to identify where it says this in the rent agreement, or how they expect tenants to remove satellite discs that may have been on the building for over 10 years and rent agreement says only management contractors can make repairs. The owner installed new intercoms in 15 units in less about two months each but the complaining tenant has been waiting since 2014 for intercom repair. Complaints to the courts, DFEH, and city government housing and rent control have pretty much been useless. The owner has said that tenants are not entitled to any housing rights, except to pay their rent and be quiet. No peaceful enjoyment in this building but plenty of harassment. I sense the owners are from countries where the rights Americans have are not respected. The state should revoke their real estate agent license. HEALTH AND SAFETY. I think an intercom that allows tenants to screen visitors and a gated parking lot is for purposes of health and safety; the owner, management company, and city housing employees do not agree. Not only that, we have a building rear entry door. For years it never closes as intended, tenants let it go and it does not shut or lock by itself. I think the city takes the position that since it is inside a gated area (anyone can jump the four foot gate or wall IMO), then the door is not important. But I still report it every month to the city and owner because I am a tenant who cares about health and safety and having worked in criminal justice, I know someone with criminal intent will make it thru that unlocked door. The owner, management company, resident manager, and I imagine most tenants don’t give a damn. That is the way housing discrimination works, with the cooperation of many. (Posted 9/9/22 B.O.)

Harassment civil code section 527.6(b)(3)

CCC section 1940.2

LAMC section 45.30

CCP section 116.220 part 2 (small claims jurisdiction and equitable relief)

LAMC section Article 5.3, section 45.30 prohibits harassment of tenants

Civil code section 1431.2 (joint and several liability)

Unruh Act CC section 51,52

“Fraud” for purposes of a punitive damages award means “an intentional misrepresentation, deceit, or concealment of a material fact known to the defendant with the intention on the part of the defendant of thereby depriving a person of property or legal rights or otherwise causing injury.” (Civ. Code, § 3294, subd. (c)(3).)

“Oppression” means “despicable conduct that subjects a person to cruel and unjust hardship in conscious disregard of that person’s rights.” (Civ. Code, § 3294, subd.(c)(2).) Although malice requires a showing of willful conscious disregard, “oppression” does not require willful behavior. (Major v. Western Home Insurance Co. (2009) 169 Cal.App.4th 1197, 1225-1226.

“Malice” means “conduct which is intended by the defendant to cause injury to the plaintiff (i.e., intentional tort), or despicable conduct which is carried on by the defendant with a willful and conscious disregard of the rights or safety of others.” (non-intentional tort). (Civil Code, § 3294, subd. (c)(1); College Hospital, Inc. v. Superior Court (1994) 8 Cal.4th 704, 725.) To establish malice plaintiff need not prove an evil mental intent or motive on the part of the defendant. Plaintiff need only establish (by clear and convincing evidence) that the defendant intended the consequences that were substantially certain to occur from his or her wrongful conduct. (Schroeder v. Auto Driveway Co. (1974) 11 Cal.3d 908, 922; George F. Hillenbrand, Inc. v. Insurance Co. of North America (2002) 104 Cal.App.4th 784, 816.)

“Why does a Judge not want Black tenants to have an intercom?

Why does a Judge not want Black tenants to have tandem parking?”

Why would a Judge not want Black tenants to have secured parking?

Certainly city employees are not so unintelligent that they do not know what an intercom and parking stall is, since thousands of residents across the city have them.
