Too Little Money for Civil Rights

Hello Fran,

On June 30th, after 5 months with zero hot water I had a plumber come to look at it, the same that fixed it after not having more than 2-3 minutes of hot water for the first two years in the apartment.  Upon arriving he went to the basement, then came up to show it was on again.  The whole process took 15 minutes.  Seemingly in response I received a 72 hour notice on the front door dated June 7th.  
Still I have not received the order that seems in violation with the letter of the law in light of apartment conditions and denial of recertification documents after being told I am a better candidate for a homeless shelter than Section 8.  In addition I am being denied the right to have a mailing address; with out a return address sending and receiving mail is impossible.
Still I have not received the polices  to port the grant from you as requested numerous times to allow me to follow the steps as outlined by HUD to move to safe and sanitary housing in line with NYS tenant law.

It cost $1500 paid by Warren Cooke for us to receive the recertification documents you refused to provide, even when I sent a FOIA request.
Once received, according to your email, I filled them out according to yours and HUD satisfaction.  Numerous times, including recently,  I asked to receive the policies, review them and for times inspector is available if inspection is needed when porting.  No response, now I am forced out with no where to go and the resources in place to assist in transition to self sufficiency are causing it.  These actions are against the letter of many laws.

To make impossible dynamics worse, earlier Bruno had two large guys sitting in front of the truck I need to load and when I asked them to move they began video taping me and threatened to call the police, "Bruno owns the building and he said to be here".  Thanks to my neighbor they moved on.
I am afraid I'm am unsafe in the apartment and going outside.
Please advise ASAP what I need to do to for you to allow me to move to a different community and regain safe, secure and sanitary housing void of harassment.

Pat and Charlie,

What is being done to alleviate these dynamics caused by the actions via CCDSS to collect "child support".  It seems clear that I would not need "assistance" if permitted to earn a living and regain self sufficiency.


Thank you,

Michelle Mayer
