NEWER NEWS FLASH
1) Note how the apartment inspection came after the police went through. After it was ransacked. The police have aided and abetted Leighton's corruption for years... what makes us think they stopped? How can you do an inspection after the apartment has been police contaminated? And do we know that somebody tampered with the alarms to give Leighton the opportunity to condemn?
2) How many other buildings have been condemned for dead batteries in batteries (smoke detectors)? Do you think a Leighton property would be condemned for "chirping" smoke alarms? SO PREPOSTEROUS. Selective enforcement needs to be applied here.
NEWS FLASH (Sat AM) I spoke with the Landlord Adam Peters regarding the shutting down of his apartment.

When the city did inform Peters... Peters asked, "What can I do to help the
situation?" They gave him no answer. This is the complete opposite of what
City solicitor Vinsko stated: "We will work with people."
3)
(From
Times Leader) “The intent is not to penalize landlords, but to increase dialogue,”
said assistant city solicitor William E. Vinsko Jr. Vinsko
stated this yet Peters stated there was no dialogue with whatsoever.
4) (From Times Leader) City Solicitor Vinsko replied that the city
wants to “keep the duty on the occupant,” but that no property will be closed without
due process. Obviously there is no due process here.
Peters, who rents this second floor apt in WB for $650 (hardly a slum lord)… was stunned to learn that his property
was condemned over AA batteries (smoke detectors).
5) “We still have to prove it,” Vinsko said of
evidence required to close a building. So what is the
evidence you are looking for here? Batteries needed for a couple of smoke detectors?
A drug bust? Knowledge of Peters knowing about this activity (which he didn’t)
We
are contacting the ACLU and civil rights attorneys. No Mayor, especially a drug/alcohol addict
himself, should ever have this ridiculous kind of power. CONDEMNING A BUILDING BECAUSE THE SMOKE DETECTORS NEED BATTERIES? INSANITY.
TL: http://www.timesleader.com/news/news/830135/WBs-one-strike-ordinance-enforced
Let us not forget at some of the very sick ironies of the “Strike One” Ordinance:
A) The ordinance is to go after
addicts… yet Leighton and Dessoye are active
addicts themselves. They
suffer from a progressive brain disease. Both refuse to get an evaluation
(which would shut me up if they passed)
B) This apartment was officially condemned because of lack of fresh AA batteries in the smoke detectors. I KID YOU NOT.
C) The landlord was NEVER TOLD ANYTHING which is a main tenant of this illegally designed ordinance.
D) The landlord has been slandered because it is obvious in his comments to the Times Leader that he was a fastidious landlord.
E) Drugs were brought in by people who weren't tenants. Given it was a second floor apartment... how can any landlord reasonably watch over this activity without violating the rights of the tenant? He is not omniscient and omnipresent.
F) Bullets were whizzing at Sherman Hills as Leighton was closing this tiny apt down. Any chance Sherman Hills will be cited (or even inspected?). They've gotten away with murder (literally and figuratively).
G) When was the landlord told that it was the police who had to shut it down (per ordinance)? This is a gaping hole in this case. It sure makes it look like condemning it for smoke detectors is nothing but fraud - a fabrication.

Other notes:
… The city does not have the right to evict people. They are not landlords.
… Landlord/tenant laws are state laws that cities cannot violate.
… You cannot hold a landlord liable for actions of tenant.
… Since when did it become a property owner’s
obligation to do police work?
… A landlord can only use the courts to evict someone.
… The “word of the police” can have a tenant
evicted? How is this documented?
… Bill Vinsko said the city would work with the
landlord… OK – how was that accomplished here?
Is this just a big ruse for WB
attorneys (Leighton cronies) to collect more money?
This make no legal sense… which is how
WB attorneys can enrich themselves.
Leighton has a brain disease (alcoholism) that is progressive and
impedes one's faculties and judgments.
Someone need to get him out of there.
