AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES & COUNTERCLAIMS
11. Upon Information and Belief, The Organization also known as Kenmore
Associates a.k.a. Housing Services Incorporated aka Kenmore Housing Corp. aka
Kenmore Housing Development Corp. and Norris Mclaughlin & Marcus is/are a
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) as defined by the Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, Title 18, Chapter 96, United States Code,
§1961-§1968. Petitioner (hereon in referred to as the Rico or petitioner) claims to
have stolen (without consideration (Nudum Pactum) to taxpayers) a $100,000,000
building by fraud, bribery, unlawful past, and future implied and actual considerations
to Politicians and Public Servants and/or Blackmail and Forgery in order to swindle
taxpayers of one of their most valuable properties. Innumerable Predicate Felonies
as qualified under said RICO act were, are and will be committed by the RICO in and
on an ongoing basis. These Predicate Felonies include, but are not limited to,
Medicaid (not even a licensed provider), Section 8 and virtually every other State,
Federal, City and Private Program, Fraud. As Predicate Felonies, the RICO is
violating the State and Federal Constitutional and Civil Rights of Lawful Tenants in
the building referred to as Kenmore Hall. Tenants (including respondent) are treated
as Chattel Slaves in violation of Amend. XIII to the Constitution of the United States.
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a
punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly
convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject
to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by
appropriate legislation.
Petitioners treating of Tenants as Chattel does not in any way extend to any
responsibility for or interest in their Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness, Mental or
Physical Health, Quiet Use and Enjoyment, etc, but merely as Objects necessary to
loot innumerable Government and other "programs" (or pograms). As Predicate
Felonies, the RICO, through Blackmail, Intimidation, and Strong Arm Tactics, forces
vulnerable, elderly, differently abled, and/or health compromised Tenants into
Fraudulent Medical Experiments, (see Josef Mengele (Nazi SS-Hauptsturmführer)),
to create unlawful revenues for petitioner, these "experiments" conducted in full
view of other Tenants and the Public in the lobby of said building in order to Harass
and successfully create fear in Tenants and to show that they can. The RICO staffs
the building exclusively, except for two ex detectives, with Violent and Drug Felons
and ex-cons, for obvious reasons. The alleged landlord/managing agent, Lawrence
Oaks is a convicted Drug Trafficker and Amir Elhadide (Building Superintendent)
was convicted of Attempted Murder on a woman. As Predicate Felonies, the RICO
Terrorizes and commits Acts of Terrorism and War on Tenants in violation of
International Law, and Federal, State and City Laws, Regulations, and Rules via
"mysterious deaths" a.k.a. Human Sacrifice/Capitol Murder which are never
autopsied or investigated, but instead covered up. The Attempted Murder/Home
Invasion and Coverup of Chake Baghtedjian, a petit elderly immigrant, in her
former apartment, 5F, on July 12, 2004, by staff Felons, occurred minutes after
Lilian Mateo/Linda McAndrews admitted to ordering Serial Home Invasions on
tape, in possession of respondent, and on their orders. Ms. Baghtedjian was taken
by ambulance by petitioner to one of their facilities in the Bronx, apparently in
coma, Illegally Evicted and kept incommunicado (Kidnaping (Federal Crime)) to
this day except for her Niece, unaware of the Proximate Cause of her Aunt's
Trauma. Admittedly Ms. Baghtedjian made a complaint to HPD resulting in still
open violation #4090511 and refused to participate in the RICO's Criminal
Pograms on Tenants. Nevertheless, to the respondent, this does not seem to reach
the legal threshold to commit said acts on a Lawful Tenant. A FOIL request for
information on this was denied by the NYPD on appeal (#06PL100336).
12. Perhaps, to the respondent, as the grandson of a former Police Captain and
currently employed as a Civil Servant, the most egregious and abominable act(s)
of (Predicate Felony) corruption involves the usurpation and "pimping out" of the
brave and hardworking employees of the New York City Police Department a.k.a.
New York's Finest a.k.a. NYPD. Through deliberate and malicious misinformation
and considerations, past, present, and ongoing, the RICO has thwarted
investigations of crimes committed against Tenants by the RICO and even their
reporting thereof. On June 6, 2005 at 11AM, after respondent arrived home at 7AM
after working at 14 hour day, a fact known to petitioner, Linda McAndrews and
others attempted a Home Invasion/Burglary/Constructive Eviction/Unlawful Entry
without notice, agreement, or legal cause, of respondent's residence. This was
prevented by respondent, though understandably sound asleep and sans apparel,
with the help of metal gates held against the door for that purpose and counterforce
Amendment IV: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses,
papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be
violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath
or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the
persons or things to be seized.
On July 11, 2005 respondent, in his Civil Service uniform and on his way to work,
went to the local precinct, Precinct 13, to report the instant crime and was thwarted
by Officer Catherine Weissheier, who apparently has a relationship with and/or
promises and/or conveyance of past, present, and/or future consideration(s) from
Linda McAndrews. This event was reported to the Internal Affairs Bureau of the
NYPD (case #05-16077) and the Civilian Complaint Review Board, who, because
of the egregious nature of the complaint, referred it to the Chief of Department of
the NYPD (case # OCD 200507136) and currently under investigation.
Amendment V: No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous
crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising
in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or
public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in
jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness
against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of
law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
13. False arrests of Tenants and Tenant Leaders occur on an ongoing basis and
are based on the Perjury, deliberate misinformation and Fraudulent Complaints
and for the purpose of denying the Constitutional, Common Law, and Civil Rights
of said Tenants and all Tenants via Unlawful Incarceration and meant to Harass
Oppress, Subjugate and create fear. These False Arrests include, but are in no way
limited to, Tenant Leader Sal Martinez (20i), and Tenants Larry King (17C), Andy
Hall (519), and Xaviere Sinclair (12P), but admittedly not the respondent, as yet,
who has never been arrested. The RICO uses the local Police Precinct (#13) as
their personal private security force, while denying law abiding Tenants any
remedy as to law, especially as to crimes committed by petitioner. The leverage
over the relevant Police Officers and/or Detectives include the promise of and/or
actual hiring of, the promise of and/or delivery of "medals" and/or "awards" by the
RICO and all other possible and actual considerations for these Civil Servants to
do other than their sworn duty. It is well know that the Politicians in the RICO's
pocket, including those, but not limited to, whose names are on the front of said
building, create fear in and performance from said NYPD employees to "do the
right thing" i.e. what the petitioner wants.
14. The subject building was seized lawfully (and is in fact still owned by the
Federal Government) on June 8th 1994 under 21 USC 881 (b) (Asset Forfeiture
Law) due to evidence that then owner Tran Dihn Truong allowed rampant illegal
drug and criminal activity to persist and exist throughout the building. The Main
Case Docket is 94 Civ 4148 of which a copy of the U.S. Marshal's 'Kenmore
directives' is annexed hereto as Exhibit 'A'
15. The Warrant issued for the Lawful Seizure gave all specific details of the
reasoning and causes necessary to support the Government's 'take over',
illustrating numerous actual drug cases and arrests indicative of rampant drug
activity thereat. At the date of the actual Seizure of the Kenmore, eleven (11)
persons were arrested for alleged illegal drug possession/sales, along with a small
cache of drugs and an inoperable gun. Previous to the Seizure there was the tragic
murder of an elderly infirm female Tenant in her apartment, just like with the RICO,
the difference being this case led to justifiable public outrage, the Seizure, and an
arrest. The case of Ms. Baghtedjian was reported to the Authorities (by Tenants)
and is being "investigated" by Detective Reuther of Manhattan South Homicide
Task Force and Lieutenant James Hanvey of Detective Borough Bronx with as yet
no arrest. Harold Williams is the head of "Kenmore Security" and an ex Homicide
Detective with many Detective and/or Homicide Detective Friends, draw your own
conclusions. Former Homicide Detective Williams owns a security company called
Distinguished Gentleman's Investigations (DGI) who's license was revoked by New
York Secretary of State Randy Daniels for reasons including hiring at least six exconvicts
(for crimes including Rape and Assault), 22 who had their applications
rejected by the State, and 47 who never submitted applications. Many of these
individuals worked at Kenmore Hall and it was reported to the New York Post that
DGI agents brazenly used illegal drugs on the job and threatened tenants if they
reported them (see exhibit c). The other ex-Detective working at Kenmore Hall, Dan
Danaher, formerly worked at the local Precinct (13) and continues to visit that
Precinct on an almost daily basis (see exhibit) while on the clock, presumably
performing some value or consideration for the petitioner. There are over one
hundred Precincts.
16. Claire Haaga Altman, Putative "owner" of the RICO, an Attorney, performs
separate Tax and Government subsidy scams involving the putative "enterprise"
also known as "Olive Leaf" and is considered by respondent as Part and Parcel of
the Instant RICO. Ms. Altman, whose current and/or former husband committed a
Homicide during an Assault, upon information and belief, is currently under
Investigation and/or Indictment. "Olive Leaf", whose status as a non-profit and/or forprofit
could not be determined (Both?), as well as "Kenmore Associates L.P. and/or
Housing Services Incorporated", upon information and belief, in fact are not duly and/
or properly registered with the appropriate authorities and/or the Internal Revenue
Service as required by Federal, State and City Laws, Rules and Regulations. As
Predicate Felonies, Ms. Altman's "Olive Leaf" occupies prime Commercial Street
Level and other space, including respondent's Lounge, while paying no and/or
radically reduced (subsidy) non-market rents as illegal and Fraudulent transfer of
considerations from non-profit "Kenmore Associates" to privately owned "Olive
Leaf" to the pure and illegal benefit of Ms. Haaga et. al.. This illegal transfer of
considerations, assets, value etc. are not reported to or taxed by the IRS and or
State and City Authorities, as well as innumerable other scams.
Amendment XIV. All persons born or naturalized in the United
States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the
United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall
make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or
immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state
deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process
of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.
17. As additional Predicate Felonies, on an ongoing, continual and constant
basis, the RICO enforces a "Curfew" on Tenants (11PM-7AM) and reserves and
utilizes the absolute and unmitigated and unremediable right to bar any guest,
relative, friend, or Significant Other etc. at any time. This violates Tenants Federal,
State and City Right to Freedom of Association, By various United States Supreme
Court Precedent (available upon request), as well as Federal, State and City Rights
to Privacy and First Amendment Freedom of Assembly and Speech. Amendment I:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech,
or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
This is the perfect method to Harass the Chattel in the most egregious possible
way. The humiliation of attempting to explain to Relatives, Friends etc. this bar on
visits to ones lawful Rent Stabilized Apartment in the "City that Never Sleeps" is the
RICO's vector into destroying Tenants interpersonal relationships to leave Tenants
more vulnerable and potentially in need of petitioners Fraudulent pograms and/or
to abandon apartment (Constructive eviction). These Jailhouse/ Halfway House/
Parolee rules should be applied to the Criminal RICO staff and the Criminals,
Felons, ex-cons and Addicts the petitioner willfully brings into building (an
additional Crime and Tort against Tenants), not law abiding Tenants, including
respondent, and by precedent and construction, all Tenants. Respondent works the
PM (Evening) shift of various hours, but approximately 3-11 or 4-12 and like most
people would tend to have guests, during the work week, after work and is
effectively barred from having visitors at least five days out of the week (respondent
works weekends). As to days off or mornings when respondent usually sleeps, the
RICO reserves the right to deny any guest at any time for any reason, and is
additionally used to Harass and Humiliate and embarrass "uncooperative"
Tenants. Additionally, if through begging, bribery or propitiousness, a particular
guest is potentially given favor for admission through the august RICO's area of
egress a Rube Goldberg gauntlet of requirements, lectures and orders and
violations of privacy ensue. The RICO, in violation of Federal, State and City
Constitution, Laws, Rules, Regulations and/or Charter, not limited to but including
the Interstate Commerce Clause and The Uniform Commercial Code, bars delivery
of packages etc. to Tenants, including but not limited to UPS, Fed Ex etc.. As
recently as June 31, 2006 RICO staff told a UPS deliveryman that respondent had
moved (see exhibit D). For a number of years respondent had to reroute deliveries
to MailBoxes etc. (see exhibit), causing additional delay and expense to
respondent by petitioner, as was their intent. For these and other enumerated and
unenumerated reasons, respondent has withheld "rent" and made various lawful
entreaties in order to seek remedy, and which respondent believes will only occur
with a duly appointed jury of peers.
Amendment VII In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy
shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved,
and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court
of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
18. As additional Predicate Felonies, upon Information and Belief, the RICO and/or
their staff engage in Massive Identity Theft for the primary purposes of profit,
Harassment, and Leverage. Illegal, Unwarranted, Unnecessary, and Dangerous
amounts of Personal, Private information regarding Tenants and their guests is
accumulated and amassed to be used and distributed and sold to the Tenants
detriment. These distribution points include, but are not limited to, the NYPD (for
additional Considerations) and other Government and/or private agencies, and
Criminal individuals and/or Organizations (other than the instant RICO). On two
occasions Housing Bureau Police (Public Housing), while doing a building wide
warrant sweep, at 6AM awoke respondent looking for a Criminal using
respondents name, but of vastly different appearance and finger prints. The source
of the stolen identity was the RICO and/or staff. Petitioner requires, for those guests
it deigns to allow entrance, a specific type of Government Identification that is
demanded and if produced is held for the duration of the visit, during which the
Personal Information is photocopied and kept for various illegal purposes
(Predicate Felony). The Rico "lost" respondent's brother's Drivers License which
was returned over a month later. During previous visit of respondent by
respondents sister, brother-inlaw and 10 month old nephew, two of whom
respondent was meeting for the first time, the RICO barred the visitors from
accessing respondents apartment, for various purported "reasons" such as an
alleged one visiter at a time "rule" and lack of "correct" Government Identification for
nephew, which admittedly was not in their possession. The fourth floor lounge,
ostensibly provided for this very purpose in Certificate of Occupancy, was locked
and/or occupied by "olive leaf". This left the "Medical Experiment Center"/ Public
Lobby to conduct the Private Visit/Introductions. As the final brutal Harassment of
respondent and his relatives, when Finnian Aengus Church started to spit up, as 10
months old are wont to do, the only bathroom in the lobby and thus potentially
assessable to mother and child was affirmatively barred by the RICO, creating a
potential medical emergency and/or deliberate homicide of said child and
immediately ending visit. To this day, respondent's sister is too afraid of the RICO's
staff's barbarous Harassments/Criminal acts against herself and her son to again
visit respondent at his lawful address despite adjurations on respondents behalf.
19. As Predicate Felonies, the necessary means, and/or "business model", of and
for the RICO's ability to execute various 'scams', as a "Poverty Pimp", requires and
installs Criminals, Violent Felons, Crack and other addicted newcomers, exinmates
from Prison Early Release Programs etc., creating horrific conditions and
crime and maximum Fraudulent Gain to petitioner and maximum loss to Lawful and
Law Abiding Original Tenants and Taxpayers. This Gimmick/Tort/Scheme/
Harassment is likely well know to many or most New Yorkers over preceding
decades as an Unlawful Method for Criminal Landlords to empty a building of Rent
Stabilized or Controlled tenants without Due Process of Law (Innumerable Court
Precedents available upon request). The difference in the instant case is that
petitioner found a modus operandi wherein as their appanage they could and
would and have Fraudulently taxed various pograms for the dubious distinction of
bringing their anointed Criminal and/or Incompetent newcomers to New York's and
the Continent's most expensive neighborhood (Gramercy Park). The amount of
Crime and Crime Rate in the building is higher than when owned by Tran Dinh
Truong due to the hundreds of Criminal, Violent Drug Addicts, Felons, and other
Disorderly Individuals willfully and purposely brought into the building, whereas Tran
was merely indifferent. A FOIL request on this was blocked but recent crimes on
Tenants by other 'new' tenants (not the RICO but often with connivance,
foreknowledge, license,and in the interest of) in the building include, Murder (of
Henry Midgett by drug dealer Richard Williams, employed by petitioner), loan
sharking, Assault, Robbery, Prostitution, and Drug Dealing.
20. The conditions in Kenmore Hall are so horrendous and egregious as to
constitute additional Predicate Felonies, as well as other violations of Federal,
State, and City Laws, Rules and regulations by petitioner. Literally Hundreds of
open (unfixed) DHPD violations, including eight in respondents apartment
(Violations ID # 4957755, 57, 6205532, 33, 34, & 35, 6224703, 5688584) since May
2004 and remain willfully un-repaired as part of harassment and violation of implied
Warrant of Habitability. In the stipulation in a previous court appearance respondent
agreed to pay, and did in fact pay $3,250, if petitioner would repair violations and
other conditions by Licensed Plumbers & Electricians as required by law (see
exhibits F, G). This stipulation was unperformed by the RICO, who at every
opportunity attempted and did in fact use Unlicensed and Undocumented Staff who
willfully destroyed plaintiff's bathroom (Retaliatory Eviction). Staff, instead of making
repairs, created a large hole in respondents bathroom, which was covered with
plastic and became a vector for vermin, as was their desire. After numerous
importunings and many months, a deliberately inept restoration was undertaken (see
photos), which resulted in a grout or cement substance all over said bathroom and
when respondent at that time requested a repair of the leaking toilet it was instead
damaged to were it continuously flushes. Respondent, in order to stop tremendous
waste of water and noise, keeps toilet float ball raised and flushes toilet with the water
from the tub that will not drain. The same Unlicensed and Undocumented staff, while
snaking a pipe in a different apartment, damaged respondent's bathroom sink drain,
causing a significant leak when used. There is also considerable lead paint and
potentially fatal Toxic Black Mold (allergy) from upstairs leak. The apartment has not
been painted since the Major Capital Improvement of 10 years ago (the law is every 3
years). Upon information and belief, The RICO interferes with landline phone service
by means of Tap/Tampering/Taping. This was reported to respondent by Verizon
Employee Philip Surachi (VID # 682) on December 23, 2003, who said that two jury
rigged illegal taps were on phone line in basement room assessable only to the
RICO staff, causing numerous instances of no dial tone, up to five days at a time.
Respondent neither owns nor possesses a cell phone. During the phone outages of
June 2006 (5 days) (as well as Aug. 07) on June 6 a Verizon Technician (VID # GIG),
visiting said basement room in order to check for tampering, was barred and told he
would need to give at least one days notice and make an appointment in order to
remove illegal devices a priori. No battery operated smoke detectors have ever been
installed in said apartment in violation of NYC Administrative Code §27-2045, 46,
instead a hard wired optical monitoring device running on alternating current was
furnished. During any blackout or electrical interruption to building or apartment has
and will fail and a fire is presumed more likely at at that time due to possible use of
candles matches etc., thus the reason for a battery requirement. Hot water is sporadic
(see exhibits).
21. Respondent moved into said building in 1989 and current apartment in 1992,
without a lease i. e. the Rent Stabilization Laws as a lease. In 1996 respondent
was forced to move to a temporary apartment (the current 4th floor lounge) while a
major capital improvement was performed on apartment and a "temporary
relocation agreement " was signed, with no copy given to respondent. On that
move property was stolen by staff. In 1997, at the MCI completion, respondent was
summoned to a building office wherein petitioner confiscated the temporary
apartment keys (constructive eviction). The RICO said that respondent's property
would be moved by staff only again (Threat) and that a multi page "Housing Rider"
by Housing and Urban Development had to be signed in only five minutes (Duress)
. Respondent was told it was a "Take it or leave it (meaning apartment)
proposition" and to sign or leave the building and become homeless (Retaliatory
and Constructive Eviction) and have property converted and/or stolen and sold
(duress)(see Kenmore V Rispler). Respondent knew that all renewal leases (as
this was/is) must be made on the same terms or better, as well as that the lease
contract was without consideration (Nudum Pactum) and thus null and void, as
respondent was already a Lawful Tenant. In order to prevent additional Looting of
respondent's property respondent signed that contract and was again given no
copy. Respondent considers only the elements and clauses of said contract that
are less restrictive than existing Rent Stabilization Law as being in effect, as a
matter of Law and Precedent.
22. In order to conduct a proper defense, respondent will require the appearance
of all named current and former employees of petitioner at trial, as well as all
named and relevant documents and/or emails, and requests to be informed in reply
as to whether their presence will require subpoena and if so the named individuals
and documents present location.
First Affirmative Defense : Improper service (RPAPL § 735) and defective
(unsigned) Petition and "Affirmation" 22 NYCRR § 130-1.1a, CPLR § 2101, RPAPL
§741.
Second Affirmative Defense : That petitioner has no standing in the instant case to
bring suit as it is not the (proper) owner, but instead the People of the United States
i. e. the Federal government as previously attested to in paragraphs 1, 11 etc.. Also
that petitioner (Kenmore Associates a.k.a.Housing & Services Incorporated) is not
an actual legal entity properly registered with the Federal State and Local
government, including the Tax authorities. Also that petitioner has not paid
$102,000,000 court judgment against it and thus all assets would revert to
Madigril Rispler. Respondent will require as part of defense all relevant
documents, originals notarized and/or certified, as well as chain of custody of said
documents. Petitioner is in violation of any "agreement " with Federal government
(VOID) as well as Nudum Pactum (Naked Contract, no Consideration). All surplus
Federal Property must be put up for lawful, proper advertised Auction. Upon
Information and Belief, Petitioner is a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organization as defined by Federal Law.
Third Affirmative Defense: That State Civil Court is not the court of Proper
Jurisdiction, due to Federal Ownership, Federal Questions, Federal Issues and
Federal Laws involved with and as defenses in the instant case. Respondent
moves and/or will move court for a MOTION TO DISMISS with prejudice (on
the state court level) and MOVE that the case be transfered to federal court at
petitioners expense or be resubmitted. Respondent asserts that United States
Constitutional Amendments I, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XIII, XIV will be used as
lawful defense. The Uniform Commercial Code, Housing and Urban Development
Rules and Regulations and all applicable governing Federal Laws, Rules and
Regulations will be used.
Fourth Affirmative Defense: Due to enumerated acts of Harassment of respondent
as well as other acts by petitioner and conditions of said apartment and building, a
violation of Warranty of Habitability, respondent owes and would owe no "rent"
under laws including Rent Stabilization Code 2525.5 and Real Property Law §
235-b and §235-d and §235-a and §235-c. Any use of restrictive clauses and/or
covenants in "Housing Rider" would violate RPL §235-c (Unconscionable Lease or
Clause) as well as the principle of Nadum Pactum (Naked Contract, No
Consideration) which is basic contract law, as well as the settled law that a lease
must be renewed on the same terms or better than the original lease, in this case
no lease.
Fifth Affirmative Defense: Due to the petitioner waiting over two years to file case
against respondent, the Doctrine of Laches (estoppel) will be used. This is also
called "stale rent".
Sixth Affirmative Defense: For the reasons previously enumerated (1-22), the
defenses of Constructive Eviction and Retaliatory Eviction as well as Partial
Constructive Eviction as well as Obstruction of Justice will be used.
Seventh Affirmative Defense:That alleged rent amounts are incorrect. Respondents
lawful rent is $215.00 per Month and after building wide Major Capital
Improvement rent was illegally tripled instead of by correct formula. That
$15,000.00 was paid into court for a pending appeal and sum was illegally and
without Due Process converted for petitioners use. That $3,250 paid to petitioner, in
part to effect repairs by Licensed Contractors was also converted for improper use
and should be applied to any amounts owed.
Eighth Affirmative Defense: The Federal Fair Housing Act and Fair Housing
amendments Act (42 U.S. Code § § 3601-3619, 3631) and Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 and §504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and §109 of Title I of
the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 will be used as defenses.
Respondent is (partially (Photophobia)) disabled and over 40.
Ninth Affirmative Defense: Res Judicata (index #52851/06) and Collateral Estoppel
re. any Motion to Strike Jury Demand.
Eleventh Affirmative Defense; Section 8 Fraud and payments (2921 Associates v.
Willis, Title 24 CFR: Ch VII HUD Part 792) and violation of Federal Consent
Judgment Williams v. New York City Hous. Auth., 975 F. Supp. 317, 319 (S.D.N.Y.
1997) (hereinafter the "Williams Consent Judgment').
Twelfth Affirmative Defense: Perjury, Malfeasance, lack of Due Diligence & Barratry
by RICO Counsel/Consiglieri/Party (ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct).
Thirteenth Affirmative Defense: RICO(petitioner)'s violation of Federal Fair Debt
Collections Practices Act (15 U.S.C. § 1692) (Romea v. Heiberger & Assoc., 989
F.Supp. 712 (SDNY 1997). No Validation notice by their debt collector.
Fourteenth Affirmative Defense: Violations of Federal False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. §
3729) & NYSFCA, Article XIII §187-194, NYC Local Law #53/05.
Fifteenth Affirmative Defense: As PREDICATE FELONIES (RICO) petitioners
ongoing violations of § 411 & § 412 Illegal Immigration Reform and Control Act and §
274 Immigration and Nationality Act, Executive Order #12989, 61 Fed. Reg. 6091
(Feb. 15, 1996), 8 U.S.C. § 1324, Federal Acquisition Regulation 9.406-2, 46 U.S.C. §
