2267 West 30th Street, Cleveland, Ohio 

 The above property, located at 2267 West 30th Street, was a "gift' from the Cuyahoga County Land Bank to North West Mechanical Inc.

On January 11, 2013, the county's land bank "gave" the property to NW Mechanical .

On January 22, 2013, NW Mechanical sold the property to out-of-state investor MSB Compliance Solution- located in Nevada- for $27,900. (County Fiscal Office records show that the sale was attempted to be marked as "gift)

18801 Rockland Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio
 

 

 

On February 7, 2012, the Cuyahoga County Land Bank gave the property located at 18801 Rockland Avenue to Northwest Mechanical.

On February 7, 2012 (same date) , North West Mechanical sold the property for $64,400.

Despite the following complaint filed with the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office mentioning the sale price of $5,000 per house, no record of this sale price was found in the county fiscal office.  The sale price from the Cuyahoga County Land Bank is marked $0. http://nwmechanicalscrewjob.com/

Where did the money go that was wired as deposits for the property?   " Jeramy states to Ms. Whitacker that the two $5000 deposits will be wired from him the next day."

On September 11, 2012 (same date), Northwest Mechanical sold the property for $17,000.

******************************************************************************************

The incorporators/agents for Northwest Mechanical Inc are Theodore and Jeramy Ennis.   The Secretary of Ohio has their address listed as 3001 Monroe Avenue, Cleveland,  Ohio.

The property owned by Theodore Ennis is property tax delinquent in the amount of $9,603.94.  Despite specific rules prohibiting the sale of land bank property to those that are tax delinquent, county land bank rules were broken and Theodore and Jeramy Ennis received several properties from the county land bank.

According to the Cuyahoga County Land Bank rules, purchasers of county land bank property are NOT ALLOWED TO PURCHASE -OR RECEIVE FOR FREE -PROPERTY FROM THE COUNTY LAND BANK WHEN THEY ARE TAX DELINQUENT:

Property Transfer Policy and Rehabilitation Program

In order to buy a house to renovate from the Cuyahoga Land Bank, the purchaser must:

  1. Not own any real property that is in material violation of state and/or local codes or has a history of code violations
  2. Not own any real property that has a history of being a site for criminal activity during the purchaser’s ownership
  3. Not own any real property that is tax delinquent
  4. Not have lost any title or had any foreclosure filings against any properties within the past three years
  5. Use property consistent with current zoning requirements of the respective municipality
  6. Comply with all fair housing and market regulations
  7. Reside in Cuyahoga County or designate a local agent authorized to accept notice on behalf of the purchaser if non-Cuyahoga resident

 

Northwest Mechanical also uses the address of 1904 West 65th Street. 

1904 West 65, Cleveland, Ohio

The above property looks like hell and has looked this way for many years.  I have always wondered what kind of shady business goes on in that building.

The owner of this property - which NorthWest Mechanical uses as their address- is Cleveland Bricks LLC.

Cleveland Bricks is another main beneficiary of taxpayer's property via the county land bank and community development corporations:

Regah Real Estate is Cleveland Bricks connection

Submitted by Caught1 on Sun, 02/24/2013 - 18:11.

Regah Real Estate has been wheeling and dealing with Cuyahoga County property for awhile now.

Lots of HUD, Land Bank, Slavic Village property transfers to Regah Real Estate from 2008 to present.

Property transfered from land bank, HUD, etc., to Regah Real Estate and then transferred to Cleveland Bricks.

Avery Hager is the Chairman for the Regah Group.  Obviously related to Jason Hager of Cleveland Bricks.

Why the preferential treatment to Regah Real Estate and Cleveland Bricks with county taxpayer property?

Why is the county land bank , HUD, and community development groups basically giving away property to these people and excluding others?

045_crop.jpg
 

Jason Hager, Regah Real Estate, and Cleveland Bricks are all part of the same connected group.

Their flipping website here http://www.clevelandbricks.com/AllProperties.aspx

 

Northwest Mechanical also has ties to Two Aces LLC:

Another LLC that is getting lots of property.    Two Aces LLC has the same incorporator as Two Aces Re Management LLC- Jason Brooks.

According to the county fiscal office records:

1.    610 East 102   transferred from Glenville Development for $ 6000

2.   2212 Natchez  transferred from County Land Bank to Northwest Mechanical on 9/11/12 for $0  then on same date to Two Aces for $17,000

3.   630 East 103 transferred from Glenville Development for $6000

4.   19501 Meredith transferred from County Land Bank for $0

5.   22260 Felch  transferred from County Land Bank for $0

6.  17914 McCracken  transferred from County Land Bank for $0

7.  15803 Delrey  transferred from Harvard Community Service Center for $2000

8.  4101 East 175   transferred from Harvard Community Service Center for $2000

9.  5197 Catherine  transferred from County Land Bank for $0

10.  5212 Catherine    transferred from County Land Bank

 

 

I still want to know where the $10,000 went that was wired as a deposit when county records reflect a $0 sale price.

Why did the upset LLC owner speak to Ms. Whitaker from the county land bank regarding the transfer of $10,000 when the county land bank gave the property to Northwest Mechanical for $0 ?

Where did the money go that was wired for the deposit on both properties?   " Jeramy states to Ms. Whitacker that the two $5000 deposits will be wired from him the next day."

 

"10/21/11 – On behalf of SARTRE, LLC, and Name of Neighborhood Action Partnership, LLC OH,  Peter Brady transfers two $5,000 deposits to Thoroughbred Title Agency for the purchase of 18801 Rockland Ave.Cleveland, OHand 4487 W. 149thCleveland,OH.  These wires are acknowledged by Annette R. Rodriguez and Escrow officer Lynn Wolski of Thoroughbred Title Agency.  Angela Whitaker, Ian Ahern, Jason Brooks and Jeramy Ennis are all cc’d on correspondence."

 

I reviewed the transfer history and the actual recorded deed for 18801 Rockland and 4487 West 119th Street- properties in which the LLC owner details wiring $5000 per house as a deposit.

Records reveal a transfer price of $0 and the deed's consideration is $0 for both properties that transferred from the Cuyahoga County Land Bank.

My Experience With Jeremy Ennis and Northwest Mechanical
Synopsis of Facts:  Jeramy Ennis of Northwest Mechanical, Inc. Cleveland Ohio has breached his contract with SARTRE, LLC (CA) which entitles SARTRE, LLC 88% ownership of two properties located at 18801 Rockland Ave. Cleveland, OH and 4487 W. 149th Cleveland, OH.  These homes originated from the Deed in Escrow program at the Cuyahoga County Land Bank.  Breaching contract, Mr. Ennis has sold 18801 Rockland Ave., keeping SARTRE’s capital investment and profits due SARTRE.  Mr. Ennis has currently stated his intentions NOT to transfer 4487 W. 149th  into the entity Neighborhood Action Partnership, as the contract requires, now placing ALL of SARTRE’s investment principal and profits due SARTRE at risk.  ANY Buyer considering the purchase of either property should immediately contact Peter L.

12/22/11 – Lynn Wolski acknowledges receipt of “The Agreement as the renovation of18801 Rockland Ave.is nearly complete
1/24/12 – Mr. Ennis sends an email to me stating that, “So at this time to all people involved Northwest Mechancial Inc will resusme responsibility for 18801 rocklandave, and 4487 w149th street in clevelandohio. Pete lynn has been instructed to return you wires of 5000.00 for each house, total of 10,000 us dollars back to as soon she can . which should be thursday jan 26, 2012. the addition monies owed to you will come from me.”
1/25/12 – I send an email to ALL Land Bank and Escrow parties stating that SARTRE, LLC has not released Northwest Mechanical from our agreement.
1/25/12 – I receive and email from Escrow Officer Lynn Wolski stating, “I spoke with Jeramy and he was going to get the agreement released and we are just going to put title in to the original company name. Once he bring me funds I will release the $5000.00 on the property. That is on both Properties once funds are replace I will release the funds I have. SO we are going back to the original contract with no agreements.”
1/25/12 – I receive a reply from Greggory A. Anglewicz. the Attorney at Thoroughbred Title stating, “TTA has a contractual obligation with Landbank and Northwest to close this transaction upon completion of the terms dictated in their contract.”
1/26/12 – At a distinct contractual disadvantage with and having no legal way to prevent a sale of 18801 Rockland Ave. AND Mr. Ennis’ intentions of breaching contract clear, I send an email including all accounting of funds to Mr. Ennis stating that, “My investment capita and time are not free,” and that I will concede to a “principal plus interest at 10% per annum” resolution.
1/27/12 – Mr. Ennis replies stating, “Pete can please give me infomation on the sartre pay out for 1746.00 . also please advise me on intrest owed.”

1-31/12 – 02/01/12 – I send another email to Mr. Ennis stating, “Since I wasn’t notified of receiving any funds today, I’ll assume (perhaps incorrectly) that you are not able to take care of all this in a timely manner.  My terms certainly do not have an indefinite time frame. What are your plans?”
Mr. Ennis’ reply to my email states, “Funds will be weird out tomorrow, sorry was clearing up title issues with Lynn and Ian . I will pay additional days of interest also, have added them to wire. Thank you again.”
02/22/12 – I send an email to Mr. Ennis stating, “Jeramy, Your lack of communication and execution on your promises is creating larger problems for you than you might imagine.  Do you care to give me an update and commitment before the proverbial shXX hits your fan?”
02/22/12 – Mr. Ennis’ reply states, “Please advise out of town , will call t.”  No further communication (or promised funds) are received from Mr. Ennis until a reply to a 07/20/12 email.
On 02/07/12 – Without my knowledge and in breach of contract,18801 Rockland Ave.was transferred TWICE, first from the Land Bank to Northwest Mechanical.  Public records indicate that two hours later the property is sold by Northwest Mechanical to Joeseph Rose for $64,400.00 via Quit Claim Deed, without a participating title agency or Purchase Contact of record.  The gross profit is $64,400 – $10,731.55 = $53,668.45.
02/16/12 – I send an email to Lynn Wolski and Ian Ahern stating, “Although Jeramy’s intentions appear to be in good faith, as of this date N.W. Mechanical has not reimbursed my company for our earnest money deposits or renovation expenses.”
02/16/12 – I only receive an email response from Greggory A. Anglewicz stating, ”We have been advised that Sartre, LLC and Neighborhood Action Partnership are no longer part of this transaction by Northwest Mechanical.  Unfortunately due to privacy laws, I can not release any information on these files to third parties without the consent of the principals.”  A reply to Mr. Anglewicz asking for clarification solicits the following response.
02/17/12 – “We do acknowledge that your organization provided Northwest Mechanical the funds it used as its earnest money deposit and Thoroughbred notified you, as the sender, of its receipt.  Thoroughbred’s contractual relationship, and its duty is to the parties to the contract and our escrow agreement.  Neither Sartre nor Neighborhood Action Partnership were ever made party to that contract.  Initially, Northwest Mechanical advised us that they would be working with your organizations and that it intended to name Neighborhood Action as its nominee to take title. Subsequently, Northwest Mechanical instructed Thoroughbred that it was no longer working with your organizations and would close in its own name.  As such, Thoroughbred is no longer able to provide protected information to you under federal privacy laws without the consent of the parties.”
02/21/17 – I send an email to Mr. Anglewicz & Ms. Wolski stating, “This is a formal request to immediately return the $5000.00 wired to you on 10/21/11 by my company for the property address:  4487 W. 149th.Cleveland,OH.”
02/22/12 Mr. Anglewicz replies stating, “Mr. Brady, The $5,000 deposited by wire on 10/21/2011 was paid on behalf of Northwest Mechanical as the earnest money required under the terms of the contract between Northwest and Landbank for the sale of the property located4487 W. 149th St.,Cleveland.  Unfortunately, TTA is not able to release those funds until substitute funds are deposited, the transaction has closed, or both parties to the transaction provide have provided written instruction to do so.  As neither of these three prerequisites have occurred, TTA is unable to comply with your request.”
02/22/12 – Mr. Anglewicz responds stating. “The $5,000 deposited by wire on 10/21/2011 was paid on behalf of Northwest Mechanical as the earnest money required under the terms of the contract between Northwest and Landbank for the sale of the property located4487 W. 149th St.,Cleveland.  Unfortunately, TTA is not able to release those funds until substitute funds are deposited, the transaction has closed, or both parties to the transaction provide have provided written instruction to do so.  As neither of these three prerequisites have occurred, TTA is unable to comply with your request.”
07/20 – 08/03/12 – SARTRE, LLC has requested from the Land Bank that, given the curcumstances, Northwest Mechanical is to transfer the Deed in Escrow contract to SARTRE, LLC.
08/04/12 – Ian Ahern replies stating, “Called you back.  I have not had confirmation from Jeremy that he wanted to rescind the contract.  He currently has a deal in place with us until I hear otherwise from him.  Have a great weekend, let me know if you have any other questions.”
As of August 31st 2012, neither Northwest Mechanical, Inc. or SARTRE, LLC (CA) has changed their position.  SARTRE, LLC obviously has vested interest in both properties, including 4487 W. 149thCleveland,OH, the Deed of which is still held in Escrow at Thoroughbred Title Agency,Cleveland,OH.
Contact: Peter L. Brady; SARTRE, LLC Manager 949-829-5674 for more informmation or supporting documentation.  This dispute and title ownership is in litigation.  All Facts are documented online at:www.nwmechanicalscrewjob.com

The Cuyahoga County Land Bank &  Non-Profit Detroit Shoreway is giving For-Profit Cleveland Brick LLC lots of property.

 

Indy County Land Bank is hot news.  Sounds like Indy Land Bank has the same exact issues as Cuyahoga County Land Bank.

Giving away property to the select few and problems with demolishing everything in sight:

 

Reggie Walton, assistant administrator of Department of Metropolitan Development, taken into custody
Feds probe bribery scheme

 

For-profit investors interested in purchasing real estate from the Land Bank must ask the city treasurer to include the property in a sealed-bid auction, and the auction price must meet or exceed a property appraisal, while nonprofit purchasers may bypass the auction process, purchasing real estate for a price between $1,000 and $2,500 per parcel, regardless of the appraised value of the property.

 

"As advocates tried to worth with the Abandoned Housing Initiative/Indy Land Bank to get properties off of the demolition list because we had good reason to believe we had buyers for those properties, what I heard from Reggie Walton was, 'No one wants those properties,'" Zeigler said. "I knew that wasn't true. I sent more than one person who was seriously interested in and capable of purchasing a single property off the list to him and typically what I heard time and time again from those people was that they could not get a returned phone call or email back from him even after leaving several messages, or if they got a response, it was that it was too late to save the property."

Thorough scrubbing of Cuyahoga County Land Bank

Submitted by Gone Fishin on Fri, 05/10/2013 - 06:32.

I spent several months and lots of hours digging thru county land bank records.

I consider myself pretty much up-to-date with my research, so any further research on new land bank transfers of properties only takes a couple minutes.

I check their records several times a week, and I will catch and report every suspicious transfer that I find.  Just like the above land bank property transfer - that I discovered on the SAME DAY in which it transfered.

 It literally takes me about two minutes to perform a search of new property transfers.

Almost all of the LLCs which are receiving county taxpayer's property are ALL CONNECTED to each other.

They use the same agent, same addresses, and meet up in coffee shops discussing their next move.

Taxpayers should not be supporting these Screw Jobs.

I work hard for my money and pay lots of taxes.   I don't want my tax money given to some fucking screw jobs.

Keep it up & I will continue catching you and will expose this issue every single time.

RE: 3905 W 20 and 311 

Thank you for coverage of the dysfunctional 311 service in the City of Cleveland.  I am not surprised that Tony Brancatelli didn't mention that he is the Chair of the County Land Bank charged with demolishing and securing vacant and abandoned properties in Cleveland.  You might ask him what are his priorities?    He and the CDC he funds had no trouble flipping a property in his ward 12 on the WEST side of Cleveland, where there is still a market for rentals.  It was awfully nice of the Land Bank to swoop in on 3905 W. 20 - wite out 13K in taxes and then transfer to Detroit Shoreway Development Corporation, which ON THE SAME DAY transferred to Adrume Yeka.  For some reason, the motives of the Land Bank are not scrutinized or investigated.  This is one story - there is also the dangerous situation presented by the vacant YMCA building.  Please put Tony on camera and ask him to explain these "deals."

  from Eric J Brewer - support his investigation  https://ericjonathanbrewer.com/:  (website updated from 10/2018 to https://ejbnews.com/)

 

 Frank. Here's the difference between me and you. You endorsed Ron O'Leary for housing court judge. I'd have launched an investigation of him. You let him keep a job. I'd have fired him.

O'Leary told me out of his own mouth that he was cooperating with the feds when I told him I heard the feds were handling Rufus Taylor. It was our first and only "face to face" conversation ... ever. I'd spoken to him and Michael Cosgrove over the phone when I was investigating how they handled a complaint and were fucking with someone in Gordon Square for Matt Zone and Jeff Ramsey at the Detroit Shoreway Corporation over some shit Adam Rosen started. Virginia Barson, who inherited her family's Pioneer Savings & Loan, was involved. Cosgrove is another one who'd be under an "internal" investigation. Notice I'm not shy about naming names. It's all very well-documented.

Now I know O'Leary didn't tell you and you know how I know it. The look on your face when you learned and your own words were confirmation that you didn't know an employee or employees were corrupting your administration's ability to deliver the services the charter, ordinances, state and federal laws required you all to deliver; and that you'd been administered an oath of office to deliver.

I'm a former mayor so you know that shit pisses me off. You're trying to clean up your government and operate with a measure of "legal compliance and efficiency." You've got an employee harassing contractors for extra money to perform the legal duties of the public jobs he holds; and you've got a supervisor who's a lawyer who should know the laws they all needed to obey and enforce. But yet for over a year, maybe longer, the lawyer who knew law managed a law breaking work force.

Proof of O'Leary's management incompetence, complete lack of oversight and inability to ensure he and his employees obey and enforce the city's charter, ordinances, as well as state and federal laws in dealing with demolition funds and contractors, is the fact that his department was and is still being investigated by federal authorities. He operated with "zero" internal controls if Taylor could hound contractors for money to perform duties he and Damian Borowski were withholding from them under his nose. And it wasn't just those two inspectors refusing to perform official acts until they were paid. It was Thomas Vanover, not O'Leary, who disciplined Taylor for not disciplining his duty-refusing subordinates.

The idea of a department head as incompetent as O'Leary now holding elected office as a judge charged with the duties to obey and enforce all laws, when there is evidence he was "derelict" in the performance of mandatory duties in the building department, is offensive. The fact he's an attorney who knew or should have known he had an employee committing crimes against "the organization" is a "disciplinary rule" violation.

O'Leary should have reported Taylor's criminal misconduct to the highest authority in the city with the ability to stop it; instead of mismanaging him in a way that allowed it. The highest authority was you, Frank.

Taylor's conduct, and that of the other derelict employees, hurt the citizens and contractors who used the completely out-of-compliant department O'Leary oversaw. I personally think a complaint should be filed against O'Leary with the Supreme court's disciplinary counsel.

Every employee's email is stored on the city's server. If council investigated anything they should review the email of every employee in the department for the years Taylor was accused of refusing to perform official acts until he was paid extra money. When I published Cleveland Challenger during Jane Campbell's years as mayor. I asked for all she'd sent and received. I still think about the one Chris Ronayne sent to her about her feet. He "fawned" over her.

Email tell a lot and the employees can't delete them. In fact it's unlawful for an employee to delete an email as a public record. Council should review this department's email like Congress reviewed Hillary Clinton's. The email will reveal how the employees are communicating with each other and the public; if at all.

Demolition contractors will tell you when we started doing a lot of demolition work I sat in the bid opening meetings and opened the bids. I asked the contractors in front of the employees if any employee working for me had asked them for a thing of value. I asked the employees if they had been offered a thing of value in exchange for some consideration by a contractor. I told them all that if I learned a thing of value had been exchanged between them, I was going to have their asses arrested and jailed. One contractor told me it was the most fair process he'd ever participated in. This shit is not difficult. The mayor has to set the example.

Frank. Your building, housing and community development departments are a mess. Backlogs in processing permits. Sham processes between employees and property owners who's homes they're taking and demolishing. Side deals between employees and council members. Side deals between council members and developers who use employees. Those departments are criminal enterprises even today. But don't worry. Kevin Kelley will never approve an investigation for a council whose members thinking two nights in a tent is a public duty.

O'Leary called me a liar. Said he never talked to me. Bullshit. But I will retort by calling him an incompetent who shouldn't be an attorney or a judge.

I'm not going away, Ron. I also can't be ignored. Got it?
