Facts related to the extortion of Hockenjos’ real property and money severely affecting
Hockenjos’ health, finances, reputation, and completely destroying Hockenjos’ life: As per
following the advise of Jesus Christ at Matthew 5:25 and 18:15-20 so please know we are trying
to be in honor by doing this ensuring the facts are in your private awareness so as to offer you
opportunity the same as “Notice to Admit” in a civil proceeding..Note if you fail to dispute these
points or seek resolution within two weeks we will return this agreement to the facts to you
bearing the autographs of 3 witnesses to confirm our private agreement is now public when
posted in the newspaper 3 days post your receipt of the witnessed agreement.
1. It is agreed by your receiving this agreement to the fact that Fifteen years ago in 1997
John and Irina Hockenjos legally purchased and registered real property (Hockenjos’
only home) located at 2368 East 23rd Street, Brooklyn, New York 11229; block 7405, lot
225.
2. It is agreed by you in your private capacity bearing no evidence to the contrary that John and
Irina Hockenjos’, over the time living there unmolested, improved this property significantly
investing a substantial amount of their retirement money and their careful labour in it.
3. It is agreed by you in your private capacity bearing no evidence to the Hockenjos’ paid real
property tax, mortgages, developed, maintained this real property for 15 years.
4. It is agreed by you in your private capacity bearing no evidence to the contrary that
Hockenjos’ property is one of 47 identical properties in the block # 7405 built by one
Developer in 1925.
5. It is agreed by you in your private capacity bearing no evidence to the contrary that All 47
properties (including new Paumere lot 226 bought next to the Hockenjos’ in 2009) have
absolutely the same size 100 feet x 29.17 feet.
6. It is agreed by you in your private capacity bearing no evidence to the contrary that Each
property by deed has (not shared!) but one private driveway.
7. It is agreed by you in your private capacity bearing no evidence to the contrary that It means
each homeowner has its own driveway used by only him or his family as a driveway.
8. It is agreed by you in your private capacity bearing no evidence to the contrary that There are
no restrictions for parking in the deed
9. . It is agreed by you in your private capacity bearing no evidence to the contrary that
it is clear and it is public record that since 1925 when Block 7405 was build, and since
forward for 88 years each real property located on East 23rd, Brooklyn, NY 11229, in
Block 7405 has one private driveway, one private backyard and one detached 2-story
house; each property takes and gives the same size (on Hockenjos’and Paumere’s side of the
street it is 2 feet) driveway easement which runs with the land defined as “forever” by all
property owner’s deeds.
10. . It is agreed by you in your private capacity bearing no evidence to the contrary that
1
Each property owner because of giving and taking the same size driveway easement by
deed forever pays property tax on the land size 100 feet x 29.2 feet.
11. . It is agreed by you in your private capacity bearing no evidence to the contrary that
the deed guarantees that each property stays the same by deed now for almost a century.
There is no such a law exist in US that permits to the new adjoining property owner like
Paumere take against any adjoining owners will any part of the adjoining lot or a
driveway, backyard and expand adjoining property ( Paumere’s) making it double
with two driveways and two backyards and also making adjoining owners (Hockenjos)
lot losing all the land (which came with the deed) without breaking the law! There is no
Civil, legal way to “take over” very expensive property that belongs by deed to the
Hockenjos’ in Paumeres possession, for Paumeres gain! There is no legal Civil way for
Paumers to control of use, occupancy and enjoyment of the Hockenjos’ property
against Hockenjos’ will because Hockenjos’ real property rights coming with the landthere is no Paumeres name in Hockenjos’ deed or survey! Paumeres are not holders in
due course, Paumeres have no standing to claim.. Paumere’s name appears nowhere on
Hockenjos’ Title, Mortgage, Warranty Deed, Deed of Trust on Hockenjos’ real property!
Hockenjos’ have not made any verbal agreement with Argo Paumere or Elen (Eleonora)
Paumere, there are no hidden adhesion contracts with Argo and Elen Paumere and
Hockenjos’ don’t know who this man and who this woman named Argo and Elen Paumere
are… As far as we are concerned Paumeres have brought Fraud, Racketeering, Conspiracy
and Dishonor in commerce upon corrupt court. We are, the Hockenjos’ underlining it
again: there is no law in the Unites States that permits a new adjoining lot owner legally
demand another adjoining owners land, house and money. It is clearly at all times
considered as severe crime under NYS Penal Law, Article 155 and 135 and federal laws
make highly punishable requiring one to spend decades in jail.
Year 2008
In 2007-2008 after being absolutely neglected by her relatives, living alone for several
decades neighbor Mary Masillo at 2372 East 23 Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229, lot 226 (next to
the Hockenjos’) was hospitalized and placed in Nursing Home. Her sister Angela and her
husband - retired Fireman Patrick Fasano were desperately looking for highest price buyer.
Year 2009
1. On June 1, 2009 Precision Survey Company made and certified a detailed property
survey of the House #2372 East 23 Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229, Block 7405, lot 226.
This survey matches adjoining Hockenjos’ property survey of the House #2368, same
block 7405, lot 225 except that Hockenjos’ survey is even more detailed along the
Hockenjos’ fence line build in 1968.
2
2. Several weeks prior Paumere’s official purchase (as the new owners- illegal alien
from Former Soviet Union Argo Paumere and his alleged wife or Elen (Eleonora)
Paumere officially bought lot 226 on July 15,2009) - on or about June 29, 2009
Precision survey of the House 2372 was used by Paumere as important part of
paperwork (by an attorney) demanding without any monetary or any other
compensation land from adjoining owners. Without any explanation why it must
happened innocent homeowners were “preset” to sign their land for private gain of
complete strangers Argo and Elen Paumere . Interesting fact that this Precision survey
was ordered by Paumere’s and was used for only one purpose to gain for free
adjoining owners lands, to defraud adjoining owners and steal their real property
but never was used again by Paumere (like it would not exist) during construction
and multiple submissions of Paumere’s applications to Department of Buildings.
Significant fact that this Precision survey was completely ignored and overlooked
also by NYC DOB even after being submitted by the Hockenjos’ multiple times by
e-mail, by certified mail, by personal delivery to DOB Officials, plan examiner of
Brooklyn DOB during 2009-2012. Instead of Precision survey Paumere and DOB used
and falsely named as “survey” unidentified drawing as simple plain square without
showing any driveways or any other details, without being certified by any licensed
surveyor but illegally stamped by Paumeres Title Company and DOB. This Paumere’s
creation of” stamped Plain Square”, falsely named as survey was used exclusively to
commit fraud with DOB approvals of Paumere’s illegal construction to build a very
special way with “take over” of the most of Hockenjos’ lot 225 against Hockenjos’ will
for illegally expanding, making Paumere’s lot 226 almost double. This made for
stealing –extortion of Hockenjos’ real property purposes unidentified drawing of simple
plain square was also used as “only survey” fully rejecting official, legal Hockenjos’ and
Paumere’s Precision surveys for 4 years harassments by NYPD, DOB,DEP, Fire and
Sanitation Department workers on Paumere’s demand openly stating that Hockenjos’ do
not have any driveway; Hockenjos’ driveway is just unknown space that Paumeres must
use exclusively.
3. On or about June 29, 2009, NYFD Engine # 246 and Patrick Fasano on Paumere’s behalf
approached all 3 adjacent owners to the House #2372 to pressure each adjoining
homeowner (by implied threat of NYFD fire inspections) to sign papers transferring their
land to the House #2372 in a clear grand larceny by extortion (under duress and/or
trick) committed against innocent real property owners using misappropriation of City
time and equipment (NYFD Engine #246).
4. A 93- year old Angelina Sarno (“Sarno”) owner of the real property 2376 East 23rd
Street, Brooklyn, NY was defrauded to sign under duress part her property without any
compensation, without her attorney or relatives representing her as being incapable to
understand what she was signing to Argo and Elen Paumere future owners of the House
#2372 because of her mental health condition (a clear act of elder abuse – financial
asset exploitation of real property). On or about July 8, 2009 new physical markings
appear (presumably by Precision Survey) with a red circle in the street revealing a
shifted property line and enlarged property for House # 2372. Initial DOB applications
by the Developer account for this taking of property by revealing a proposed attached
garage permanently occupying Sarno’s “2 feet” strip of land (formerly a driveway
easement) in Paumere’s driveway. Similar “takings” with legal papers are attempted for
3
the 2 other adjoining property owners that include the Hockenjos’. Clearly Paumere
understand that this is not their property, otherwise, they would not take this step to seize
the property with signed papers under duress and trick. The defense that Paumere thinks
they own this property fails since they are deliberately engaged in preparing legal
documents to take property that is not theirs (to make it look legal).Also Paumere must
know real property ownership rights because Argo Paumere has real estate agent license
#40AR1178126 salesperson (gained illegally because Citizenship requirement for real
estate agent license was clearly defrauded by Argo Paumere).
5. Jenny and Jack Krol at 2371 East 22nd Street are another adjoining owners who being
targeted by Paumeres to sign to Paumeres 5 feet x 37.5 feet of Krol’s lot 235, Block
7405 size 100 feet x 37.5 feet. Interesting fact: Paumeres lot 226 bordering only
partially with Krols lot 235 for about less than a half of size 37.5’, the other more
than a half is bordering Hockenjos’ lot 225 but all the land size 37.5feet x5feet (up
to the point where Krols building wall starts) was demanded by Paumere from
Krol’s expanding Hockenjos’ backyard without Hockenjos’ knowledge and
agreement meaning Paumeres already planned and knew that Paumeres will be
owning Krols and Hockenjos’ backyard (on August 1, 2009 Elen Paumere was trying
to convince Irina Hockenjos’ that Hockenjos’ must demand Krols land with nonsense by
Paumeres pushing for false statement that Hockenjos’ are missing land of 5 feet taken
by Krols among another crazy statement by Paumere that Fire Department in June 2009
was here and changed property lines)! Krol’s learned about Paumeres plans to expand
for free lot 226 by “taking over” Krols adjoining land after Jenny’s mother was
witnessing firsthand the attempt with NYFD Engine 246 to sign Krols property in June
of 2009. Krol’s also revealed that Paumere’s most likely would not take their land
because Krol’s son is an Attorney. Only in November 2009 Jenny and Jack Krol
admitted to the Hockenjos “that huge piece of Hockenjos’ land will be “taken over” by
Paumeres and Hockenjos’ can do nothing about it and nobody, not even the court would
be able to help the Hockenjos’ to protect Hockenjos’ real property from Paumere”.
6. On or about July 7, 2009 Argo Paumere as self-proclaimed unlicensed contractor starts
an illegal full gut renovation throughout the entire building (illegally) without a building
permit at House #2372 (starting construction prior to taking formal ownership). Right
from the start Argo Paumere was trying to park on the Hockenjos’ driveway property
2368 instead of parking on his own driveway belonging property #2372 located on the
other side of the house 2372 about 20 feet away from the Hockenjos’ private driveway.
When Hockenjos’ pointed that “mistake” to the Paumere stating that Hockenjos not
permitting to Paumere’s use Hockenjos’ private driveway by deed for parking Paumeres
cars, construction and Hockenjos’ using Hockenjos’ own driveway actively, parking
there Hockenjos’ own car. Argo and Elen Paumere (very shocking for being “new
neighbors”) yelled abusively, hysterically ordering to the Hockenjos’ to obey Paumeres
because “the Paumere” are becoming soon new owners of adjoining to the Hockenjos’
property #2372. Strangely enough Paumere also started revealing private Hockenjos’
personal information as Paumeres were researching Hockenjos’ records. .
7. On July 15, 2009, Argo and Elen Paumere took actual ownership and closed on the real
property purchase of House #2372. Hockenjos’ learned that Paumere’s both do not work
anywhere and spend most time on illegal construction. This is illegal emigrant Argo
Paumere who came to USA in 1998 is the second investment property in less than 8
4
years; the first being 1708 George Street, Ridgewood, New York 11385 a rental property
in Queens County housing, also Argo and Elen Paumere have several rental apartments
in Manhattan and Brooklyn, NY. On or about this time, Paumeres stated they are in the
business of flipping properties and plan to do the same with House # 2372. Argo
Paumere called house of 2372 his “new project”. Real Estate agent Argo Paumere
former website advertised other properties that Paumeres were developing and flipping
for sale; the fact that Paumere was and is a licensed real estate agent (which is not legal
because license requirement to have US Citizenship, but Paumere has fake SSN, shared
with American woman, no driver license).
8. However, later Hockenjos’ learned about the DARK side of Paumeres business was
mainly organized and operated as an apparent Criminal Enterprise (manipulating
usually legitimate, innocent titles (as required) in defense of their unlawful actions to
present harmless images such as “Neighbor”, “Developer”,” Businessman” “Real
Estate agent” or even “Family Man” who just wants to remodel their home all as a
cover for their deep criminal ambitions because using these titles is very useful and
disguises the true intent to commit severe crime; all organized and arranged by the
Paumeres with the participation of their agents and most importantly corrupt City
officials) fully involved in municipal and political corruption at many levels and some of
the highest levels in City government including but not limited to the Mayor of the City
of New York and his appointed agents (Commissioners – Department of Buildings,
Police Department with great help and participation in stealing –extortion of
Hockenjos’and as we learned othrs real property by NYC Fire Department, Department
of Environmental Protection/Hazardous Materials, Sanitation Department, Department
of Investigation etc.). On many occasions, NYPD supervisors stated that Mr.
Bloomberg overruled the New York State Penal Law and that it no longer applies
to the City of New York even though it sounds almost insane, horrifying and
beyond belief, it is actually true because NYPD does not protect Hockenjos’ or our
property under the State Penal Law and the NYPD clearly permits the Criminal
Enterprise that includes an illegal alien Paumere from and his alleged wife Elen
(Eleonora) to” take over” Hockenjos’ property against Hockenjos’ will clearly
without enforcing the Penal Law (Grand Larceny1) by falsely stating “ it is a Civil,
private Matter” and “private civil dispute”. The fact is the Hockenjos’ never agreed
and not obligated by law to dispute their own (since 1997) real property that Hockenjos’
maintained, developed, paid property tax, mortgages, have legal deed for last 15 years
and Paumeres name not any part of all mention above documents did not stopped
corrupted officials from making fraudulent statements that are unlawful and leading to
the severe crimes being permitted to commit against the Citizens of USA
Hockenjos’.violating Hockenjos’ Constitutional, Civil and basic Human Rights..
State Penal Law Article 155.00 “Grand Larceny” by extortion is a felony includes among other things stealing real
property… under the provisions of the law, even attempted grand larceny is punishable as a criminal offense. The
Criminal Enterprise is repeatedly “Offering False Instruments for Filing” to both the Department of Buildings and
Police Department which is at the very least a misdemeanor and used by the racket, corruption and conspiracy to get
Hockenjos real property without compensation, legal representation and under duress which is a criminal offense of
“Racketeering” while both City agencies actively engage in “Hindering Prosecution against the Criminal Enterprise
– providing and aiding in providing a means of avoiding apprehension or effecting escape by concealing or
destroying evidence (documents and other information) of the crime” and City employees are involved in the
accessory criminal offense(s) by furthering the illicit goals of the Criminal Enterprise.

9. On or about August 1, 2009, Paumere’s started
using Hockenjos driveway exclusively for
Paumere’s construction (like Paumeres would not
have their own driveway) damaging Hockenjos
house and renders Hockenjos driveway unusable
with hazardous demolition debris be dropped on
Hockenjos’ heads. At the same time Paumere ‘s
“the Criminal Enterprise” started mentioning DOB
NYC as real help for delivering to Paumere
Hockenjos’ real property and beginning severely harassing Hockenjos to give up
Hockenjos land. Argo Paumere openly stated that” DOB is in his pocket” and Paumere
“needs bigger land because he will build bigger house and will take Hockenjos’ land by
official DOB approval and it is going to be all legal”. Paumere and Paumere’s friend
Alexander Vassilenko life threatened Hockenjos for giving up Hockenjos’ property and
demanded that Hockenjos’are no longer allowed to use Hockenjos; driveway to park
even though Paumere understands their own rights to park on Paumeres driveway (see
above Photograph of dark car parked in Paumeres driveway and Hockenjos’ gold car
parked in their driveway).Paumeres friend Vassilenko falsely called himself” Vladimir”
in 2009 admitted that he was in Jail, Argo Paumere is a “Big Boss” who took care of him
in Jail and Alexander Vassilenko (Vladimir) will do anything for Argo Paumere
including killing Hockenjos’ if they would not give up Hockenjos’ property.
10. On or about July 29, 2009 Argo Paumere approached Hockenjos’ and stated that several
inspectors of DOB came to him because a neighbor’s complaints about Paumere’s illegal
construction and because DOB inspectors were driving on East 23 street and observed
25-cubic yard capacity dumpster full of structural debris in front of Paumere’s building,
construction in progress and 3-4 DOB inspectors were trying to give Paumere
violation for illegal construction without permits but Argo Paumere just talked to
them and all inspectors left without issuing violations and illegal construction
continued. DOB gave an answer that it is true-inspectors permitted Paumere to build
illegally, no violations were issued. As result of complaint being elevated to DOI after
DOB’s refusal to issue a stop work order (SWO) for the work without a DOB building
permit; after 3-4 prior DOB construction inspectors failed to “observe” a “full gut
renovation in progress throughout the entire building”, and an 8 foot high trash dumpster
filled with demolition debris in front of a vacant and gutted House #2372. Paumers
Criminal Enterprise appeared to be already getting special treatment from DOB officials
to proceed with Paumeres illegal construction. Paumere came very close to finishing the
illegal construction which includes extensive illegal structural, mechanical, electrical and
plumbing modifications without any permits and not to code. The community homes
and businesses become infested with rodents during the illegal demolition that should
have required exterminations which was never done prior to the demolition by the City’s
building code. Paumere’s Criminal Enterprise started showing up its power and
connections to corrupted City Officials and City did not served any violation for the
public health and welfare issue. Finally relatives of Angelina Sarno from the House
2376 noticed DOI special inspector come in a special car and post a violation on
Paumeres buildings without walking in the building as if afraid to confront Paumere.
6
That was the first and last time (and only time) when DOI did anything to stop
Paumeres illegal construction. Due to DOB top officials severe corruption DOI, IAD
became completely blocked and start working on tax payers money against innocent
homeowners, the victims of corruption intimidating, abusing, falsely accusing , pushing
for extortion of very expensive real properties in NYC to be accomplished for Paumeres
criminally gained private profit. DOI, IAD not only permitting illegal and dangerous
construction but permitted and helped extortion-stealing adjoining property belong to the
Hockenjos’. Later all of almost hundreds complaints asking and begging DOI and IAD
for help against severe crimes of real property extortion-stealing by DOB illegal
approvals to build taking over Hocknjos’ property, by none stop harassments of DOB
inspectors, supervisors demanding openly Hockenjos’ land to be given to Paumere “as a
gift” against Hockenjos’ will. DOB inspectors and supervisors on multiple occasions
promised to the Hockenjos’ that Supreme Court NYS will grant to Paumere Hockenjos’
property and decisions known upfront, DOB is discussing with Paumeres court
decisions.
11. Paumeres start repeatedly stating nonsenses but very scary threats(to stop Hockenjos’
right to park in their own driveway):
1) “the NYFD changed the property lines and you (Hockenjos) can no longer
use your driveway and you will have to park elsewhere; somewhere in the
street.” Hockenjos has a handicapped member in the family and his driveway is
vital to unfettered accessible to their home. Question is: How did Paumere’s know
NYFD was misappropriated for the purpose of taking adjoining private properties
way back in June 2009 (before they owned the property) unless the Criminal
Enterprise hatched such a plan themselves to be direct beneficiaries of illegal taking
of land for their new construction?
2) “I will get your property by official Department of Buildings permit and it
will be all legal.” Paumere also states “the plans already done and you will love it.”
Question is: How does the Criminal Enterprise know before filing for any building
permit; who actually assures him that he will get the Hockenjos property by DOB
approval way before it happens or applications are filed?
3) “Because Paumeres are building bigger house, they need double size lot to sell a
new building with real profits and Paumeres will expand their land by taking
Hockenjos’ driveway and back yard”;
4) “DOB is in Paumeres pocket and will do what Paumeres want including
permitting illegal construction on Hockenjos’ property and Hockenjos’ must forever
park Hockenjos’ car somewhere else but not use Hockenjos’ own private driveway
anymore - - even though Hockenjos’ are handicapped”;
5) “Paumeres friend Alexander Vassilenko approaches Hockenjos’ falsely stating
that his name is Vladimir, he explains that he was serving Jail time and Argo
Paumere very powerful man, who helped release Vassilenko from the Prison and
helped organize Vassilenko’s life and now Vassilenko will do about anything for
Paumere including killing the Hockenjos’ if Hockenjos would not participate with
Paumeres demand to give up Hockenjos’ property for Paumeres gain on Paumeres
demand;
7
6) “Paumeres will break Hockenjos’ fence leading to Hockenjos’ backyard and will
use Hockenjos’ backyard for Paumeres construction and take it over against
Hockenjos’ will when the construction is complete”;
7) Including other threats, if Hockenjos’ will not give up Hockenjos’ property
Paumere “will kill Hockenjos’ making it look like an accident” and other threats, and
unlawful demands to take Hockenjos’ property…
8) Elen Paumere demonstrated her experience of professionally harassing innocent
homeowners by pretending to be on the phone and walking forth and back next to
Hockenjos’ driveway, complaining out loud that Hockenjos’ must not be on their
own driveway, should not use it and she will be calling the police about it. We called
911 asking for help to explain Paumere that they cannot deprive Hockenjos’ to use,
enjoy and occupy Hockenjos’ own property, cannot harass, threatened people and
using police for forcing Hockenjos’ out of their own property- police never came.
On August 10,2009 first NYPD police report was made by the Hockenjos’
using other Precinct then #61 but #65 after Police Officer Boys from P-t 61
refused to take police against Argo and Elen Paumere. Significant that Irina
Hockenjos’ called to the Precinct 61, talked to Police Officer Boys – he stated that if
Hockenjos’ property is demanded – it is harassment, if Hockenjos’ fence will be
broken – it will be criminal mischief and Hockenjos’ must come to the Precinct 61 to
make at this time at least harassment police report. When Hockenjos’ came to p-t
61 P/O Boys was on duty and admitted that he already spoken to Hockenjos’ on
the phone and was ready to take police report, started writing it and asking the
questions from the Hockenjos’- suddenly after P/O Boys heard the name of
Argo Paumere he stops writing, get noticeably upset and refused to take police
report angrily explaining that Hockenjos’ real property demand by Paumere is
nothing but just annoyance and if Paumeres does break Hockenjos’ fence and
occupy Hockenjos’ backyard – it will be just an accident. On the question of
Hockenjos’ how it could be an accident if it was planned (premeditated) and
Paumeres told Hockenjos it would be done, accidents cannot be premeditated-P/O
Boys did not answer but instead made himself extremely angry and yelled that no
police report will be ever taken for the Hockenjos and Hockenjos’ must live the
Precinct immediately..Hockenjos’ were shocked and but easily made police report
in Precinct 65 which did not know Paumeres name .Precinct 65 explained to the
Hockenjos’ that report must be sent by rules to Precinct 61 and only there could
be assigned to detective but it never happened. Precinct 61 ignored all reports
and Hockenjos’ asking for help to stop Paumeres crime and attempts to stealextort Hockenjos’ property. For 4 years a lot of police reports were refused by
Precinct 61 and never any detective was assigned to the Hockenjos’ case.
12. On or about October 7, 2009, Hockenjos finds his roof car window smashed parked in
their driveway. After confronting Argo Paumere – he states “you cannot prove (that I
did) it (therefore I will escape any charge or prosecution)”.
13. On or about October 10, 2009, Hockenjos installs a home surveillance system to protect
his family, home, vehicle and property from further attacks after the criminal mischief
(and vandalism to the Hockenjos vehicle).
14. On October 13, 2009, Paumeres filing a DOB application that falsely states among
other things there are no restrictions over Paumere’s property thereby knowingly
8
omitting Hockenjos legal driveway and driveway easement granted by both parties
deeds and shown on both parties (certified) property surveys. Note: Paumere clearly
shows his own driveway and driveway easement, and avoids building on these deeded
property land assets to provide a required clear path to a mandated parking space in the
rear.
15. On or about October 20, 2009, Hockenjos procures a property survey to establish
Hockenjos’ property boundaries (House #2368) and easements in preparation to defend
and protect their land from this Paumere - the Criminal Enterprise’s stated intention to
“take” Hockenjos property, deny Hockenjos parking (and later Paumere Court demands
take Hockenjos’ only home and on the top Hockenjos’ property” Paumeres damages(!)”
demand judgments up to $ 1.5 Million).
16. On October 27,2009 Hockenjos’ were planning (after calling about a week to DOB) to
attend homeowners night in Brooklyn DOB and meet Chief of Plan Examiners Neil
Adler who personally and very friendly invited Hockenjos’to bring deed, survey for
“correcting” Paumeres false application to prevent Hockenjos’ land being lost. But
received telephone call stating that Hockenjos’ must not to come to DOB because DOB
will issue all the permits Paumere need and Mr. Adler would not meet with Hockenjos’.
But Hockenjos’ came and Plan Examiner Frank Dioduardi personally was waiting for
the Hockenjos’ to announce that Hockenjos’ must give to Paumere “as a gift”
Hockenjos’ driveway and sell Hockenjos’ house without a land. Hockenjos’ were trying
to explain that improved the porperty, were planning to retire there but Mr. Dioduardi as
P/O Boys (in P-t 61) made himself very angry and pointed to the door.
17. Same day October 27,2009 Hockenjos’ attended meeting in Community Board 15 where
meet Ken Lazar Intergovernmental, Community Affairs representative from DOB,had
very friendly, nice conversation. Mr. Lazar give his business card with promiss to solve
completely Hockenjos’ situation with DOB and demanding of Hockenjos’ property.
Alsoin the same meeting Hockenjos’ meet DA Assistant Alex Gurevich who also invited
to call him, was very friendly.
18. Several days later Hockenjos’ called Mr. Lazar and got shocking respond after Mr. Lazar
checked Paumeres address, name –he immediately starting rudely very loudly yelling
that Paumere did not get Hockenjos’ land yet and was not yet approved. Since that magic
changes happened to everyone contacted by Hockenjos’ for help. Public, Government
Officials, law enforcement after contacting DOB Ken Lazar became abusive and told
Hockenjos’ that nothing could be done, suggesting going to Civil Court to protect
Hockenjos’ property. Hockenjos’ were informed (including Borrow President Office)
that Ken Lazar falsely accusing Hockenjos’of yelling, attacking when in reality Ken
Lazar was yelling and attacking stopping any attempt to complain about Paumere.
19. Same “magic” happened with DA Assistant Alex Gurevich who after verifying
Paumeres name with Ken Lazar became very abusive and never took any complaints
from Hockenjos’, on many occasions yelled on Hockenjos’ right away preventing any
possibility to speak to him. In May, 2010 when Hockenjos’ were already in Court and
Attorneys started taking huge amounts of money and live without any services renderedAlex Gurevich not only yelled at the top of his lungs after first several words from
Hockenjos’ call but threatened to arrest Hockenjos’ if they would call again in DA
Office.
9
20. On October 29, 2009, John Hockenjos prepares an e-mail alerting DOB Chief Plan
Examiner, Neil Adler, alerting the Department of false statements and other
significant issues with Paumere’s filed application. DOB Chief Plan Examiner takes
no substantive action to question and correct Paumere’s architect and acts of at least
bad faith and likely fraud.
21. On or about November 25, 2009, Hockenjos’ start a petition of the entire block
against the Paumere’s bad faith (falsified) DOB building application and challenges
to the adjoining property owners properties. Hockenjos receives 60 signatures for 47
properties on the block voicing concerns about the irregularities displayed by DOB
and Paumeres Criminal Enterprise. State Senator Carl Kruger (now serving 7-years
in federal prison) sent the community petition to DOB Brooklyn Borough
Commissioner to correct issues with the application/plans. Reply was received by
Senators Office only 8 month later stating that nothing is wrong but never was sent to
petitioners. Nothing ever happens except later Senator Carl Kruger’s office begins a
campaign of abuse against the Hockenjos’ (in favor of Paumere).
Year 2010
22. On or about January 25, 2010, John and Irina Hockenjos, convinced about NYC
official corruption actively working together with the Paumere - Criminal Enterprise
(against the Hockenjos’ real property interests), Hockenjos is forced to procure the
services of an civil attorney to legally protect their real property [title and other
interests] from inter alia the official emergent campaign, mens rea, to “take” their
property without their permission, and destroy and pillage the Hockenjos’ belongings
by official Department of Buildings permits just as promised by Paumere in August
2009 with the absolute material support of numerous NYC Departments and officials.
Attorney reminds us he is a civil attorney unable to handle the criminal aspects of this
land “taking” and extortion.
23. On January 25, 2010, John and Irina Hockenjos hire Alexander Karasik paying up
front retainer $ 10,500. As stated in the contact this was fee to the end of the trial. Mr.
Karasik promises to file for temporary restraining order and injunction in 3-days but
two months pass and nothing is filed with the court. We decide to fire Mr. Karask but
at the last moment he creates the case and sends it to us at 2 am in the morning for
filing the same day. Mr. Karasik did not inform the opposition about the ex parte
filing and the instant restraining order was denied on the technicalities, not the merits.
Instead of informing the opposition and coming back to court to get a restraining
order for us, Mr. Karasik refuses and tells us to call the police if the opposition (the
Criminal Enterprise - Paumeres) starts building on our property according to DOB
approved plans that officially permit violations of our real property. The Hockenjos
reminds Mr. Karasik that police do not take police reports and will not investigate
Paumeres criminal acts that is one reason we were filing with the court to protect our
property with a restraining order. Mr. Karasik also gets from Hockenjos copies of
the DOB approved plans to build on our property. Hockenjos’ asks Mr. Karasik to
amend our complaint adding the DOB approved drawings to highlight the urgency
and actual irreparable harm within 20 days but Mr. Karasik refuses to do so. On or
about April 14, 2010, Paumeres came to court with an attorney but stated they had no
attorney and needed more time to find one.
10
24. On or about March 25, 2010 DOB approves Paumere ‘s Criminal Enterprise Developer’s plan that “takes” Hockenjos’ property (just as promised), omits
easements, and adds fire exit, landscape planter and door swing that encroach onto
and over Hockenjos’ real property rendering Hockenjos’ driveway (one-third of their
property) completely useless and reducing it to nothing more than an narrow alleyway
and Paumeres nearly exclusive use. The Criminal Enterprise - Developer’s approved
Alteration Type 1 - vertical and horizontal building enlargement practically doubles
the size of the building while increasing the number of dwelling units; by building
code requires full code compliance of the entire building is required. The
construction is independently valued (all in) by Hockenjos between $ 0.7 – 1.0
million dollars but is grossly understated by Paumere’s official DOB documents as a
mere $ 133,000 in an attempt among other things to hide the full scale building
enlargement and required funding thereby attempting to skirt the full building code
compliance requirements throughout the entire building. But better yet, the
understated DOB official construction budget conceals from the Federal, State and
Local government [sic unreported] taxable income used to fund the actual sized
construction and advance Paumere’s illegal design and construction that later is
deemed to violate the zoning code by an extensive DOB Notice of Objections dated
October 12, 2011 in addition to building and construction codes for the building
alteration which is illegally occupied without a valid Certificate of Occupancy (work
not complete or signed off). Not including income used to “take” Hockenjos’ real
property [sic deeded] rights to maliciously sue Hockenjos for up to $ 1.5 Million in
Civil Supreme Court and “taking” property thereby violating Hockenjos’ State Civil
Rights by intimidating Hockenjos family from publicly opposing Paumeres’s
permitted construction application issued by a government body with among other
things the actual goal of ruining Hockenjos’ well-being and running them financially
dry in a Strategic Lawsuit against Public Participation (SLAPP). All Paumere’s
hidden income is leading to avoidance of State sales taxes, employee withholding
taxes such as Social Security taxes, workers compensation, etc. of undocumented
workers used for a majority of Paumer’s construction nearly $ 1 Million improvement
through their licensed contractor among other things. As a result, lost tax revenue to
the government is estimated at about $ 200,000.
25. Being a vigilant property owner, Mr. Hockenjos, orders and pays for copies of the
approved plans2 from the Department of Buildings and finds just as suspected inter
alia the drawings along with application falsify the existence of 2368 East 23rd
Street’s (Hockenjos’) easements and as a result unequivocal property and even goes
as far as to physically deny House #2368 their driveway [by deed] with a new planter
and fire exit in the driveway that blocks the Hockenjos driveway for most of its entire
length and encroaches on the Hockenjos sovereign, absolute and exclusive property3
2
As normal practice official plans are withheld from the public until approved by the Department of Buildings
Special note: the easement and driveway for the Developer (House #2372) on the same approved drawing is shown
and continues (unobstructed) open and clear for the full 100-feet to a City zoning code required off-street accessory
parking space in the very rear of the premises while Hockenjos driveway is for practical purposes reduced to a
narrow alleyway with no ability to use it for Hockenjos’ vehicles in exchange for House # 2372’s sole benefit as a
fire exit from a 2-bedroom apartment and landscape planter.
3
11
practically reducing Hockenjos’ 100 foot long driveway property to an unusable
narrow alleyway and “taking” Hockenjos’ property by approved DOB permit.
26. On or about March 26, 2010 (Hockenjos’ file a lawsuit to defend their title interests),
Hockenjos’, now realize the serious consequences to acquiesce these official DOB
approved plans that violate Hockenjos’ real property title where the adjoining owner
(House #2372) by stealth is being officially granted by a government body, the DOB, to
make de facto claims on adjoining properties by granting House #2372 official approval
to construct upon, use and enjoy adjoining owner’s properties (albeit, under false
pretenses) and attacking Mr. Hockenjos’ title to real property owned since October 23,
1997 and that if he knowingly stands by without raising objections to the infringement
on title, Mr. Hockenjos consequently risks losing any ability to make counterclaims
against the infringer (the Developer) if allowing the violations of property to proceed
freely. Thereby giving the adjoining owner implied permission by silence or
passiveness; therefore, Mr. Hockenjos is left with no remedy or choice but to file a
lawsuit to defend his title from these official DOB permissions for Paumere- to attack
Hockenjos’ title by approved construction on Mr. Hockenjos property “as insured by
Hockenjos title insurance company”. Hockenjos’ emergency injunction fails on
procedural technicalities (failure to contact the other side) and Hockenjos’ attorney
refuses to resubmit newly acquired information – falsified drawings approved by
DOB (as evidence) that the Developer is deliberately building upon Hockenjos real
property and as a result “taking” their property; emergency relief is warranted to cease
“takings” based on false pretenses.
27. Since Paumere explained to the Hockenjos’ that Hockenjos’ land will be taken over,
started trespassing Hockenjos’ driveway as much as Paumere wants till March 28, 2010
Hockenjos rent their driveway to several individuals, one of them Roman Vaynerchuk,
to park his vehicle(s). After Paumere writes each plate number down each tenant leaves
indicating they were contacted by the adjoining owner (a punishable interference with a
contractual relationship). It is clear that Paumere “ran” the license plates with the goal to
deprive Hockenjos of the economic benefits (family income) of using their sovereign
and exclusive property in a contractual relationship thereby forcibly denying the
Hockenjos’ the full use, occupancy and enjoyment of their unequivocal and sovereign
driveway property.
28. On March 29, 2010, John Hockenjos, authorizes that an urgent 12-page letter from his
attorney be sent to the Department of Buildings requesting denial of Paumere’s
approved plans based on the architect’s failure to disclose House #2368’s driveway
easement and property, that with deprived indifference encroaches on House #2368’s
exclusive property. A response on April 22, 2010, from Neil Adler, DOB Chief Plan
Examiner states the proposed drawing “implies a driveway easement exists” and “there
is no proposed encroachment on to the adjacent (Hockenjos’) property or into the
easements”. All of which, ignores the direct evidence annexed to the March 29, 2010
letter and blatant omission of Hockenjos’ driveway easement and other property (by
deed and survey). On April 23, 2010, DOB General Counsel writes that the
“Department is unable to grant our request.. [given] the easement granted by deed is a
private agreement. If the proposed construction documents comply with Code and
Zoning, and the proposed construction does not pose any threat to public safety, the
Department has no basis to disapprove these plans” DOB simply ignored Hockenjos’
12
letter complaint and allowed Paumere to violate Building and Zoning Code by allowing
an illegal fire (life safety) exit in Hockenjos’ driveway (to a two bedroom apartment)
while ignoring Hockenjos’ explicit right to a driveway easement (shown on Paumere’s
survey and deed). No material preemptive corrective action is taken by DOB given a
concerned homeowner’s reasonable request to stop a blatant disregard for the law by
Paumere.
29. Hockenjos’ have two family house and were renting the apartment for years mostly
successfully to nice individuals for decade except ones when in 2005-2006 Hockenjos’
were forced to take tenant to Court for nonpayment. When Paumere arrived Hockenjos’
had very nice tenant Aleksey who later suddenly became very upset and angry, decided
to rent elsewhere and wanted to bit up John Hockenjos for unknown reason. In April
2009 suddenly tenant Aleksey invited Hockenjos’ to talk and explained that he was
mistaken and somebody told Aleksey that Hockenjos’ renting to him for too high price
but then learned that it is not true. Aleksey still was leaving but wanted to apologize and
as part of apology wants to hug John Hockenjos. Several days later, about April 13, 2009
when drunk Paumere’s came very aggressively on Hockenjos’ porch, brock Hockenjos’
gates, suddenly very same way as Hockenjos’ tenant Aleksey Argo Paumere offered to
John Hockenjos’ to hug as an agreement that John Hockenjos’ agree to give to Paumere
Hockenjos’ driveway “as a gift”! Hockenjos’ refused but Paumere was continue to
offering it for some time. Aleksey was last tenant Hockenjos’ had after Paumeres bought
next to the Hockenjos’. Hockenjos’ never were able to rent successfully again, strange
scary things started happening as rejection to advertise from Hockenjos’ source of
advertisement Hockenjos’ used for years and where tenant Aleksey came from, strange
people came to see Hockenjos’ apartment when two of them turned to admit that they are
police officers from P-t 61.
After Hockenjos’ false arrest, imprisonment in February of 2012 shocking situation
related to Hockenjos’ tenants was created several times by Argo Paumere. Argo
Paumere found tenant Alexander Milman who was sued for nonpayment by the
Hockenjos’ in 2005. Milman start “passing” Hockenjos’ house every day, was standing
on the street and waiting till Hockenjos’ will come out of the house. On one of the
occasions Milman was hiding behind the commercial buildings on Ave X and attacked
Irina Hockenjos yelling that Argo Paumere promised to him $5,000.00 for “finishing “
Hockenjos’ in Court. “We will be finishing your husband”. Then Milman attacked Irina
trying to hit her, than take a picture of Irina crying. Hockenjos’ Attorney suggested not
to call the police at the time and ignore Milman who Attorney believed was “preset” to
interfere with possibility to dismiss fabricated criminal case against Hockenjos’ in
February of 2012. Hockenjos’ need the money and later were trying again to rent trough
Russian advertisement but got woman who was incapable financially to rent coming
with her luggage trying to get in to Hockenjos’ house, but Hockenjos’ never agree, never
had any contract with her and did not open the door. Tired violently hit Hockenjos’
doors woman called the police and get police arrive in several minutes, had friendly
conversation with them constantly pointing that she just lost a lot of time for nothing.
After that incident Hockenjos’ did not have any long term tenant ever again afraid to let
any tenant in.
30. On or about April 13, 2010 drunk Argo and Elen Paumere started a large uncontained
fire just outside the rear wall of their empty gutted building and Hockenjos calls NYFD
13
due to the real risk of rapid fire spread of an empty house (to other houses) with dry
timber (unprotected) inside and no fire resistive construction applied to interior/exterior
beams and structural supports. To Hockenjos’ utter shock, NYPD eventually arrives to
allow a clearly drunken both Paumere’s to get into their motor vehicle and drive from the
scene intoxicated while NYFD does not cite Paumere’s for a serious fire hazard at an
open “demolition/construction” of a large (2-story) wooden structure (this is why all
construction sites must have signs posted prohibiting smoking or open fires – see the
Deutsche Bank demolition fire that killed several firefighters). Paumere’s went uninvited
on Hockenjos’ porch by breaking Hockenjos’ gates. Both Paumere’s were loudly yelling
about Hockenjos’ private information demonstrating that paumere’s can do anything to
Hockenjos’ as Paumeres want. Elen Paumere hit Irina Hockenjos’ face with Paumeres
cell phone camera, trying to make pictures right to Hockenjos’ face. Hockenjos’
complaint to the police that finally after 2 hours of Paumeres harassments came but left
no reports taken for broken gates, face hit. Later Elen Paumere freely continue trust
camera, cell phone in Irina’s face but put in Court case complaint that Irina Hockenjos’
does it to Elen Paumere and must be restrain to do so. Hockenjos’ have proof that Elen
Paumere done this to Irina Hockenjos’ but evidence not needed , it is enough Paumeres
word for Court decisions to be made. Hockenjos’ not allowed to speak in Court and
present evidence, Paumeres and Paumeres attorney can falsely accuse, blame, demand
anything from Court and immediately it will be granted.
31. On or about May 19, 2010 (the date the contractor is issued permission to begin
construction), John Hockenjos, finds the official permission that authorizes a licensed
contractor to begin an unlawful construction on House #2368’s real property in
accordance with the DOB approved drawings. However, the contractor is stopped
since the approved drawings are suspended pending a completed audit by the DOB
Borough office. Later the Developer in lieu of the contractor mobilizes and directs
his own construction forces and reveals his construction crew in situ consists almost
entirely of the Developer (himself) and several hired [illegal] undocumented
immigrates (clearly paid in cash) to begin to act on approved (under false pretenses)
construction drawings, actus reus.
32. On May 20, 2010, John Hockenjos, faxes to the Department of Buildings Borough
Commissioner’s office a formal Construction Code Determination (objection)
stamped by a licensed architect citing public (fire) safety concerns, and serious illegal
property encroachments and building code violations on Paumere’s DOB approved
plans of March 25, 2010.
33. At 9:34 AM, on May 21, 2010, John Hockenjos meets with Neil Adler (DOB Chief
Plan Examiner) and Nashat Atalla (DOB Audit reviewer) about the illegal fire exit
(meeting minutes prepared by Hockenjos). Mr. Adler indicates “his decision is final
and the application is approved by audit review, therefore, it will proceed to
construction, and nothing more will be discussed..” Essentially, approving an illegal
and dangerous fire exit in violation of the building code that also encroaches on
Hockenjos property. His last professional remark to me is chilling and threatening to
me “Do what you got to do..” Mr. Adler refuses to review the building (fire safety)
code or Developer’s drawings and ends our meeting rudely and abruptly, and asks
that I leave his office after just 2-3 minutes of discussion. In later discussions, the
Department asks that I address those concerns with Paumere’s architect because he is
14
responsible entity for the drawings and it is his license that is on the line if something
is wrong. These instructions are followed but then the Supreme Court (without any
direct proof of cause) restrains Hockenjos from speaking to the architect based on
falsified affidavits by Paumere. Further, although the architect agrees verbally to
correct the drawings, he lies and continues to ignore his professional duty and due
diligence to correct subsequent filed drawings based on our real property concerns.
34. Hockenjos’ attorney Mr. Karasik stops answering the phone and e-mails and
Hockenjos’ are forced to fire him and hire instead hired a famous Manhattan law firm
known for their contacts to the Department of Buildings, Davidoff, Malito and
Huchter. Mr. Huchter took $ 7,500.00 promised to send letters to the Department of
Buildings, contractor and Developer - Paumere asking to refrain from violating
Hockenjos real property rights which were never sent. On May 24, 2010 3:30 PM,
Mr. Huchter informs Hockenjos that he is not going to represent the Hockenjos at a
9:30 AM scheduled hearing the next morning and states he sent a fax to the judge and
was released. Mr. Hutcher never submitted the promised reply to the opposition and
never told Hockenjos that Paumeres never submitted any answer but only a reply
which are grounds for a default judgment in Hockenjos’ favor. Mr. Huchter failed
explain to the Hockenjos’ that the Paumeres were and had been in default all this time
and Hockenjos’ should win their preliminary injunction. Mr. Huchter was planning to
withdraw the original case and submit a new case stating it “was not aggressive
enough”. Mr. Huchter started the new case but never finished it and never submitted
it prior to the hearing date since his May 4 hiring date. Mr. Hutcher never adjourned
the case for the Hockenjos since it was impossible Hockenjos to find an attorney in a
couple of hours. $ 7,500 given to Hutcher was never returned to the Hockenjos,
nothing was ever filed or mailed to DOB and no attendance in court was ever made
for that money.
35. On May 25, 2010 Hockenjos came to the court without an attorney and tried to
adjourn the case but law clerk and secretary of the court stated that Hockenjos must
find an attorney within an hour or Hockenjos case will be dismissed. Hockenjos
found an attorney, Ira Bierman, and court secretary and clerk demanded his cell
phone number for the opposition attorney to contact him immediately. Mr. Biermam
who was not familiar with Hockenjos’ case, never submitted one court paper on
Hockenjos’ behalf but knew about the DOB approved construction on Hockenjos
property based on false pretenses was never formally presented to the court. With 35years’ experience this attorney rather than adjourn, went to the judge’s chambers to
make oral arguments on the merits of a preliminary injunction (to restrain the
Developer – Paumere from building on Hockenjos property) and without a court
reporter to record minutes of the arguments, the case was declared fully submitted (no
further pleadings permitted). Hockenjos was completely mislead and had no record
of what happened. Mr. Beirman did not explain to the Hockenjos that he could not
discuss the court documents he never submitted or reviewed. But that is what
happened. Mr. Bierman did not ask the judge permission to submit the approved
construction plans “taking” Hockenjos’ property prior to any judicial decision but
opposite Mr. Bierman agreed that the case be declared fully submitted for the judge to
decide based on oral arguments in a hearing that lasted no more than 15 minutes.
After the hearing, Mr. Bierman suggests dropping our case in favor of suing the DOB.
15
After questioning this attorney about his conduct, Hockenjos’ never sees Mr. Bierman
again.
36. On May 25, 2010, Mr. Paumere calls from court a false 311 DOB complaint that later
results in a false violation from a DOB zoning inspector prohibiting Hockenjos to
park in their driveway despite all neighbors on the block parking in their driveway
without violations including Paumere. Hockenjos records on surveillance video that
Paumere lied about the relevant facts in his complaint. These lies are later presented
to DOB and the court. The same camera system later saves Hockenjos’ again on
February 5, 2012 from a false arrest and malicious prosecution by NYPD where Argo
Paumere is a witness for the prosecutor’s office based on court documents Hockenjos’
reckless endangering the lives of City (NYPD) officers, and facing a felony 7-year
prison sentence as punishment. All of this ends the very same way as the falsified
DOB complaint; the video proves beyond a reasonable doubt that everything stated by
Paumere is a lie where City employees are knowingly participated in violating
Hockenjos’ rights. In the end, Hockenjos are later fully exonerated by authorities on
all counts. DOB admits the violation was wrong and our parking is legal (nonconforming) grandfathered under the 1962 Zoning Code.
37. At 5:04 PM, June 6, 2010
Elen and Argo Paumere
started demanding our
property by criminal trespass
and vandalism (graffiti) on
our property, placed obscene
language on a building (a
large sign “F-- OFF FROM
US” in red paint in this
peaceful community for which no DOB sign permit was
3 feet, 2 inches
issued) putting fear in Hockenjos that neither NYPD nor
Department of Buildings would stop Paumeres from the
extorting or damaging Hockenjos’ property. The top and
photograph to the right sends the disturbing message that
Paumeres feel free to take among other things three feet of
Hockenjos’ property (property line (PL) = 2 feet, 3 inches; not 3 feet, 2 inches –
Photograph to the right) and commit extortion of Hockenjos’ property that will succeed
without some form of intervention. Further, they will not be punished for criminal acts
against the Hockenjos’ and Hockenjos’ property. Other neighbors are in shock call
NYPD, however, Elen Paumere is arrested (Photograph to
the right) not for damage done to Hockenjos’ property but
only damage done to public property as if Hockenjos’
property does not matter. Elen Paumere is almost
immediately released after Argo Paumere shows up at 61
Precinct and the arrest amazingly disappears from police
records without a trace Elen Paumere was ever arrested.
16
38. June 7, 2010 the DOB previously approved plan is withdrawn (after Hockenjos’ strong
DOB objections) and new plan is approved by DOB (in record time – less than one
day!). This approval contains a greatly enlarged door swing that clearly encroaches over
Hockenjos’ property and is not permitted by either parties’ deeds or basic real property
law.
39. On April 20, 2010, May 25, 2010, May 31, 2010, September 3, 2010, October 19,
2010 311 complaints are received by the Department of Buildings regarding
Hockenjos - House #2368’s off-street parking in their driveway with the May 25,
2010 complaint resulting false violation on June 18, 2010 by a DOB inspector
specializing in Zoning Code who enters the Paumere’s house (for no legitimate
reason) prior to issuing his false violation that makes Hockenjos’ off-street parking
and driveway illegal. Hockenjos begins to speak to local officials about alternatives
such as reserving a handicap parking space on the street in front of their home for
required ADA (American Disabilities Act) access to their only home in case
Hockenjos loses their driveway and property to this false DOB violation. On July 21,
2010, Hockenjos’ meets with DOB Borough Commissioner to protest the false
violation, and submit codes and evidence. On August 4, 2010, Department of
Buildings marks the false violation “WIE” withdrawn - issued in error. In this
meetings, Hockenjos’ contend that there is no way a zoning code specialist would not
understand that this violation was issued in error therefore he should be fired or
severely punished.. DOB and/or DOI take no action but simply cover-up the obvious
misconduct. On September 30, 2010, ALJ rules the conditions did not warrant a
violation based on a “legal non-conforming use” to park in the driveway that preexisted the adoption of the Zoning Resolution of December 15, 1961 since Hockenjos
home and driveway was built in 1925. It should be noted Hockenjos surveillance
video clip suggests this inspector was paid a bribe by Paumere before issuing
Hockenjos a false violation.
40. Hockenjos’ new attorney hired on June 6, 2010 Robert Sikorski stated that
Hockenjos’ case is simple and he will win it easily and will submit additional
information on the Title Insurance claim submitted by the Hockenjos’ earlier. Mr.
Sikorski took from the Hockehjos’about $8,500. Mr. Sikorski filed Default Judgment
against Paumeres for not filing an Answer. Judge Betsy Barros signs a restraining
order against Paumere to protect Hockenjos’ property from interference and
construction, because Mr. Sikorski presented pictures of Elen Paumere being arrested
after putting red paint with obscene language on a building, and Hockenjos’ and
public property. For unknown reasons without any prove and formal requests
Paumeres add that the parties must not to harass each other. Subsequently,
Hockenjos’ are harassed, life threatened, assaulted and battered by Paumeres to give
up Hockenjos’ real property (and home) but start to be falsely accused Hockenjos in
Supreme Court of the same harassment Paumere is actually inflicting on Hockenjos’
(thrusting cameras in the face, for example) and for which Hockenjos has video
showing these acts against them, Paumere actually menacing Hockenjos’ in this way.
Unfortunately, Paumeres fabricated statements are prejudicial against Hockenjos
despite being completely made-up. Mr. Sikorski went to a hearing about default
judgment in Judge Larry Martin’s chambers without the Hockenjos or a court reporter
and spent two hours after that he stated to Hockenjos that Paumere’s answer of two
17
pages was submitted and the Judge denied Hockenjos ability of submit a reply to
Paumere’s answer which was incredibly prejudicial against Hockenjos given the DOB
approvals to build on Hockenjos’ property were still not sumitted to the court.
Paumeres answer intentionally distorted Hockenjos/Paumere deed and stated that
Paumeres do not now claim Hockenjos’ title. Mr. Sikorski secretly sent the Title
Company this particular pleading to the Title Company and in turn received from the
Title Company a denial of Hockenjos’ claim and withheld this information from the
Hockenjos almost to the last day of the 30 day expiration to appeal the Title
Company’s decision. Since then for the first time Title Company became abusive and
rude to the Hockenjos and prejudicial to protecting Hockenjos property. Mr. Skorski
for eight months being on the case never submitted Paumeres approved construction
plans “taking” Hockenjos property despite Hockenjos begging for it almost every day.
On August 16, 2010, Mr. Sikorski finally submitted a Contempt to Punish motion on
behalf of the Hockenjos because Paumere started construction against a standing
restraining order and included contempt for assaults and life threats on Hockenjos to
pressure Hockenjos to give up their property, vandalism and painting on Hockenjos
property and a blocked access to Hockenjos driveway for 8 months. Paumere also
used tremendous influence and the appearance of a bribe (captured on camera) to pay
off a DOB inspector to issue Hockenjos a false violation for using Hockenjos own
property to park. On June 18, 2010 Paumere even put a NO PARKING sign on
Hockenjos driveway which was ordered removed by Police only October 2011. Mr.
Sikorski agreed secretly without Hockenjos knowledge to adjourn the contempt
motion for 4 months, December 2010 but many years later the judge’s decision
remains pending with no decision. On October 28, 2010 Mr. Sikorski sent an email
to the Hockenjos stating that he found on e-courts the judge’s decision dated
September 30, 2010, for unknown reasons denying Hockenjos preliminary injunction
ignoring all the relief asking to protect the Hockenjos fence and real property from
unlawful demolition/construction, trespassing and encroachments on Hockenjos
property. Mr. Sikorski also filed a motion to withdraw from the case based on
irreconcilable differences without revealing the differences and Mr. Sikorski failed to
address why he knowingly withheld crucial information about Paumeres approved
construction on Hockenjos property. Three times at this point DOB approved plans
were overturned and revoked at the insistence of Hockenjos’ persistent administrative
DOB objections, each time approved again with the same goal to get Hockenjos
property through Department of Buildings approvals for the Paumeres sole windfall
gain without Hockenjos permission or authority to do so. Without permitting
Hockenjos to speak, on December 14, 2010 Judge Larry D. Martin released Mr.
Sikorski when another attorney already retained by the Hockenjos, hired on
November 11, 2010. Mr. Sikorski never advised Hockenjos to file an appeal for the
denial of the preliminary injunction but informed Hockenjos by e-mail on November
11, 2010 that Paumeres were filing a new case (attempting to conceal the original
case) against Hockenjos containing money and real property claims some of which
were already a matter in the same court in Hockenjos the underlying case. Mr.
Sikorski never objected or pointed out that Paumeres should not be permitted to open
another case about the same issue that already exists in the same court. Mr. Sikorski
18
never pointed out to the Hockenjos that judge should make a decision without hearing
Hockenjos contempt motion to punish first that was already filed and judge knew it.
41. On June 7, 2010, John Hockenjos, learns almost the first time in history (for
Department of Buildings) Paumere’s architect, Igor Zaslavskiy receives a very special
gift from the Department by filing revised drawings for approval (where Department
waves its standard 3-6 week plan review process) so that for only this Developer the
very same day drawings are received, the ENTIRE submission is reviewed and
stamped approved by the Department of Buildings giving no legitimate reason why
this special exception is granted! Except it serves as a great reward from the Borough
office for all of the tremendous grief this Developer caused Hockenjos, and
negligence and misconduct, and falsified drawings that put the public’s safety in peril
by violating the most basic of fire codes, the means of egress (fire exit) from a
building while blatantly violating and encroaching on Mr. Hockenjos property in the
process.
42. Starting June of 2010 for 8 month Paumere purposely placed huge 25 feet dumpster
for demolition and excavation debris with open door and set up operation on
Hockenjos’ driveway instead of using Paumeres own driveway. For 8 month
Hockenjos not only were blocked by Paumere to use their own driveway but Paumere
was willing to pay more to his illegal workers to carry debris and soil 30 feet farther
to get in front of the Hockenjos driveway instead of shorter way to Paumeres own
driveway. Hockenjos driveway being blocked by Paumere established full control by
Paumere for use of Hockenjos’ property as Paumere demanded. But it was not enough
and Paumere placed on Hockenjos’ driveway “NO PARKING” sign which was kept
there by Paumere till in November of 2011 when Police Officer who refused to obey
Paumere’s demands ordered to Paumere remove this sign from Hockenjos’ driveway.
Hockenjos’ on multiple occasions called NYPD, Sanitation Department, DOT about
dumpster but any inspector coming was taken by Paumere inside Paumeres
demolished Buildings and after that abused Hockenjos’ and left dumpster “as is”
claiming that Paumere proven to him that Paumere own Hockenjos’ driveway.
Dumpster Company explained to the Hockenjos’ that they would put dumpster only
the way Paumere wants. Paumere changed dumpsters almost every week but all
dumpsters were placed the same way to block the Hockenjos’ driveway. Paumeres
attorney presented to Court picture where Hockenjos’ were blocked by Paumere to
use their own driveway explaining that Hockenjos’ interfering with Paumeres
construction and must be restrain to use Hockenjos’ driveway. Hockenjos’ attorney
knew the problem but was silent. Judge was about satisfy Paumeres demand with
expressing anger against Hockenjos’ when Irina Hockenjos’ simply stated that
Paumeres have their own driveway - Judge was surprised and did not issued
restraining order Paumeres asked for. On Fall of 2011 on Hockenjos complaints DOT
sent Supervisor who did not see any problem for Paumere to turn dumpster to his own
driveway but after long debates with Paumere he was ordered by DOT to turn
dumpster open to face Paumeres own driveway and DOT Supervisor warn
Hockenjos’ because noticed that Paumere is dangerous individual.
43. On or about June 21, 2010, John Hockenjos, concerned about the adjoining owner’s
extra deep excavation – undermining Hockenjos’ adjacent building calls 311 to
complain to no avail – no DOB action is taken; so Mr. Hockenjos desperately calls
19
the Federal government (OHSA) to seek safety and protection. OHSA forces the
project stopped immediately and finally forces the Department of Buildings –
Construction Division to recognize the imminent danger of collapse requiring the
Developer’s work to be stopped immediately, stabilizing the dangerous conditions
and issuing the Developer’s contractor fines as punishment for the undeniable proof
presented by Hockenjos. At the time, the Developer’s licensed architect, Igor
Zaslavskiy had signed DOB technical review papers claiming (on October 16, 2009)
responsibility [to inspect] the “excavation – sheeting, shoring and bracing”, clearly
understanding this item was required for the project yet failed to design or ensure
such protection was in place, knowing full well that extra deep foundations could not
be safely placed without such protection and would risk adjacent buildings/structures.
Mr. Zaslavskiy was negligent by failing prepare or ensure earthwork protection
drawings were submitted to Department of Buildings for approval and permits prior
to the construction to protect among other things Mr. Hockenjos’ property and/or
inspect such excavation to check them for safety during the construction. The
contractor (in reality the Developer himself) was also liable for not stopping the
dangerous conditions from progressing as he knew or should have known full well the
strict rules and regulations governing extra deep excavations and “shear cuts”. As a
result, Mr. Hockenjos suffered damages from their collective willful neglect.
44. On August 4 and 5, 2010, in two separate incidents, Mrs. Hockenjos is assaulted and
battered by the Elen Paumere when Hockenjos was takes photographs to document
construction on Hockenjos property. 911 was called by Russian Police Officer
Klebanov came to Elen Paumere and start laughing with her and act as he would be
Paumeres friend. When he finally came to the hockenjos’ instead of taken police
reports for assault PO Klebanov started showing to Hockenjos paperwork provided by
Paumeres demanding that Hockenjos’ stop using their own driveway and let Paumere
acsess to Hockenjos’ backyard. No police reports were taken and PO on duty
demanded Hockenjos’ property calling Hockenjos’ abusive names. Yelling at the top
of their lungs. Hockenjos’ complaints to CCRB and IAB but instead of punishment
Hockenjos’ were informed that about 6 month later PO Klebanov was promoted and
start working for WWC. The incidents are captured on video but 61 Precinct refuses
to review or investigate or assign a detective to the crime. As a result, Hockenjos is
denied a right to seek a Court order for (personal) safety and protection since such
order requires a police report and/or arrest. At the September 15, 2010 Precinct 61
Community Council meeting, the Precinct Commander promises to have his
immediate staff investigate and follow up. There is no follow up, despite repeated
reminders from Hockenjos to the Commander’s staff reminding them of our
agreement with the Commander. Commander’s staff never even calls back.
45. August16, 2010 prior approved plan is withdrawn (after strong objections by
Hockenjos of encroachments) and new plan is approval by DOB with a new
encroachment of new brick cladding on Hockenjos’ property that does not comply
with zoning code 54-31 “to not increase the degree of non-compliance (of a noncomplying side yard)” that also presents an impermissible encroachment on
Hockenjos’ driveway and easement. On or about this time a required Fire sprinkler
drawing for all four levels of the building is approved for construction by DOB as
required by building code.
20
46. On or about August 27, 2010, John Hockenjos, orders stamped certified copies of
their driveway easement through the NYC Department of Finance.
47. On September 15, 2010 John and Irina Hockenjos attend a 61st Precinct Community
Council meeting to report misconduct and call for action by NYPD Police
Commander now former Deputy Inspector Georgios Mastrokostas to resolve repeated
refusals by police to take action of any kind and arrest and investigate and review
electronic evidence (a video) of an assault and battery committed against Irina
Hockenjos on August 4-5, 2010 by Elen Paumere. Mr. Mastrokostas assigns his
immediate chief of staff Sgt. Kerry Carty and other attendees to investigate and get
back to Hockenjos. Sgt. Carty promises the Deputy Inspector and us to follow-up,
took our contact information written in small note book but in fact Sgt. Kerry Carty
just ignores the criminal act against us. Repeated calls over the next several months
to reach out and speak to Sergeant Carty are ignored, as well. During this meeting a
group of police staff that includes Police Officer Cafaro point us out as if we were
being marked or labeled in a very intimidating way but never talk to us. Ned Berke
from Sheepshead Bites a local blog and news publication films our attendance in a
greatly viewed internet video (Google: “Sept 15 Precinct”) as we explain to Ned the
reason for our attendance: to officially report a crime - assault and battery, and police
misconduct; Ned introduces us to Commander Mastrokostas. Due to the lack of any
disciplinary action to restore integrity and trust in the NYPD, Hockenjos home
becomes vulnerable to further “attacks” by NYPD police officers, sergeants and
others who feel free to engage in official misconduct and/or even criminal acts.
48. On September 21, 2010 was scheduled a Contempt Motion hearing filed by the
Hockenjos’ on August 16,2010 about Paumeres disobeying Restraining order and
building on Hockenjos’ property but it was secretly adjourned for 4 month without
Hockenjos’ knowledge and agreement when Hockenjos’ attorney just stated that
Elen Paumere is very busy on September 21, 2010. Elen Paumere was truly busy
because she ordered from DOB Inspector Hines that came to her meeting on
Hockenjos’ driveway demanded by Paumere to repeat false violation from June
18,2010 that Hockenjos’ dismissed and give to the Hockenjos’ new violation about
same issue –forbid to Hockenjos use their own driveway by deed! DOB inspector
Hines with Paumere’s “supervising” attempt again to issue another false violation that
is thwarted by Mr. Hockenjos’ wife by recording the attempted illegal act; in the
conversation this DOB inspector is taped as stating to Paumere after talking to his
Construction Division office that “you [Paumere] will get [Hockenjos’ property]
through the court [Supreme Court] as we discussed. Inspector Hines came on the
mission that he definitely would of give the Hockenjos’ false violation because he
stated “what the Hell , I will just say in the violation that Paumeres side door was
blocked”. Irina Hockenjos’ answered to inspector Hines stating: “ I am making
picture of you standing on our Hockenjos’ driveway and Paumeres door clearly is not
blocked” . Inspector Hines, got upset and called his Supervisor to verify what to do,
how to satisfy Elen Paumere but get instructions promising to Paumere that even
inspector Hines cannot get Hockenjos’ on the length or with of Hockenjos’ drivewayhe will see what else could be done to get Hockenjos’ driveway any other way. It is
amazing how DOB openly delivering Hockenjos’ real property to Paumere like DOB
considering organized crime and MOB activity is DOB duty on tax payers money and
21
extorting –stealing expensive real property would be not a crime that must be
punished for decades in Jail as NYS Penal law requires..
49. On September 22, 2010, John Hockenjos, witnesses in horror completely helpless as
Paumere with a large crew of illegal workers begins construction upon Mr.
Hockenjos’ driveway in direct violation of a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO)
pendent lite (to the end of the trial) decided on June 14, 2010 against Paumere.
50. In October of 2010 Hockenjos’ after contacting State law enforcement and did not get
any resolution contacted FBI. FBI Special Agent Robert Silveri stated after receiving
Hockenjos’ complainst that IT IS NOT ANY PROPERTY CIVIL DISPUTE BUT
PROPERTY STEALING AND IS FBI CASE, ALSO THAT HOCKENJOS’ MUST
NOT GO TO CIVIL COURT WITH THIS ISSUE, IF JUDGE WILL MAKE
WRONG DECISION BY BREAKING THE LAW FBI HAVE RIGHTS TO
OVERTURN IT. After R. Silvery started taking Hockenjos’ address he realized that
Hockenjos are not in his area and called Federal Plaza. FBI came to the Hockenjos’
picked all the documents, but never invited Hockenjos’ for the interview as promised
but soon Brian Nadeau the Supervisor by phone informed Hockenjos’ that he did not
read their case, does not know it but he knows that it is not FBI case. Soon Paumere
filed their case against Hockenjos’ demanding Hockenjos’ being restrained from their
own property forever for Paumeres use , occupancy and enjoyment. Falsely accused
Hockenjos’ demanding damages and stated that Paumeres afraid of the Hockenjos’
demanding Hockenjos’ would not live in Hockenjos’’ home being retrained from
Paumeres construction for 25 feet which is Hockenjos’ driveway, home. Hockenjos’
restrained to speak, take pictures, security cameras must be removed, Hockenjos’
must be restrained to complaine to any law enforcements and Hockenjos’ property
must be declared as Paumeres perpetual easement! FBI meet Hockenjos’ ones more
on Federal Plaza. Scanning Hockenjos’ computer, cell phone and stating that they feel
sorry for the Hockenjos’but cannot help. Like FBI duty is feeling sorry for extortion
and crime under color of law victims!
51. New attorney from Hockenjos pre-paid legal plan, Aaron DePass was hired by
Hockenjos on November 11, 2010 for filing reconsideration and renew of Hockenjos’
preliminary injunction denial. All the information from our Architects affidavit was
presented to Aaron DePass. When Paumeres filed a new case against the Hockenjos
on November 12, 2010, Mr. DePass did not object or reply in opposition to Paumere
filing a new case about the same issue that already existed in the same court. Mr.
DePass does not ask judge for any time to study Paumeres’ case; to speak to his new
clients Hockenjos to gain insight and information related to Paumeres case. He did
not object that without any proof Hockenjos did anything wrong, the judge ordered
restraint that enjoins Hockenjos in essence from protecting or using their own
property. From this ex parte hearing, Hockenjos was restrained to speak and take
pictures; two things Hockenjos had to do to document the damage caused or prevent
imminent damage by Paumere. In the meantime, Paumere was assaulting, thrusting
cameras, yelling, harassing, vandalizing and demanding Hockenjos’ property, and
intentionally misrepresenting facts and misleading the court so as to order Hockenjos
to cease things vitally important them like contacting law/DOB enforcement, and
documenting reckless and dangerous acts against Hockenjos. These papers continued
to demand Hockenjos property on a larger scale right in the court without any applied
22
law or facts to entitle Paumere to gain Hockenjos’ real property. On the top of it, the
papers demanded Hockenjos money for alleged damages of $ 1.5 million dollars.
Demanding Hockenjos not to speak, not take pictures, be restrained from talking to
any law enforcement and remove Hockenjos security cameras. Mr. DePass never
addressed these unconstitutional and unlawful demands and refused to file any answer
to the dangerous allegations and relief requested in this case. Mr. DePass did not
answer telephone calls and never filed any papers in court on Hockenjos behalf but
kept all Hockenjos money and was released on December 14, 2010 generously by
Judge Martin without filing any papers asking for such relief on the same day that Mr.
Sikorski was released. Hockenjos was never permitted to explain the situation with
Mr. DePass or ask for a return of money but Judge Larry Martin just granted DePass’
withdrawal. As a result, Hockenjos was force to file an answer and summary
judgment as Pro se litigants because of the lack of time to find another attorney on the
Paumeres new case against Hockenjos (case no. 27786-2010) as well as renew and
reconsideration motions on the preliminary injunction denial on Hockenjos own case
no. 7712-2010. Hockenjos complained to the legal service plan and asked for help
because Aaron De Pass committed malpractice against Hockenjos. But legal plan
instead of help responded by cancelling our service and discount legal rates in effect
targeting us so our possibility to hire affordable attorneys to continue our litigation
would not be possible.
52. On November 28, 2010 (14-page), February 10, 2011, March 29, 2011 (68-page),
Hockenjos files formal complaint to the NYS Education Department, Office of
Professions regarding Paumere’s architect’s reckless and blatant disregard for public
fire/life safety rules and building codes, and encroachments to irreparably harm
Hockenjos property granted by Deed. Office of Professions fails to punish the
Paumere’s architect for his outrageous conduct and takes no action despite
overwhelming direct evidence to the contrary. The message here is clear: the
Paumere’s architect can do anything to put the public and human life in danger, and
encroach on neighboring properties as much as they wish. With the Department of
Buildings and Office of Professions not punishing Developer or the Paumere’s
architect, both are free to break the law in the future and put millions of homeowners
at risk to repeat the same illegal acts over and over again.
Year 2011
53. On April 12, 2011 a new engineer arrived on Paumeres DOB documents with wrong
spelling of his name. Engineer has different name and was punished for 2 years for
giving his name, license and not checking what construction is done under him.
Structural, sprinklers, plumbing was not up to the codes anymore and DOB approved
everything without any objections while the August 16, 2010 approved drawings are
withdrawn.
54. Hockenjos hires attorneys Arkady Bukh $ 3,000 and Oscar Michilin $ 4,000 both take
money from the Hockenjos, never file or do anything on Hockenjos’ behalf except
keep the money. Howard Drieffus $ 2,500 another attorney never submits any paper
work to the court but shows up several times in the court but ran away without seeing
the Judge because clerk of the court yelled at the top of her lungs acting as if
23
Paumeres attorney adjourning the hearing for the Paumeres without a stipulation
when Paumeres attorney did not show up in the court. Title Company ignored
existence of Mr. Drieffus but Mr. Drieffus never objected to the conduct of the Title
Company. Hockenjos could not find Mr. Drieffus for months but was finally able to
find him through the NYC Police Department. Mr. Drieffus sent by e-mail with an
apology and signed that he knows he was fired by the Hockenjos but then suddenly
without warning showed up in the court again to be released asking Hockenjos’
signature for it.
55. Title Company attorney Mr. Nelson from March to May of 2011 instead of asking
court to dismiss the baseless and unlawful claims by Paumere to preserve Hockenjos
deed and title, Hockenjos was pressured and harassed to sign a stipulation that the
Developer – Paumere gains rights to control Hockenjos unequivocal property which
materially over-rides and re-writes Hockenjos deed essentially giving Paumere rights
they never had before the stipulation while Hockenjos loses their property. When
Hockenjos asked for more time to discuss with others, bank, architect or discuss other
options, Mr. Nelson and Title Company abruptly cancelled Hockenjos Title policy
and Mr. Nelson was released by Judge Larry Martin against Hockenjos protest.
56. On May 2011 Hockenjos hired new attorney Steven Zaliewski (around $15,000) who
promised to the Hockenjos to amend motions and answers filed Pro se but never did
it. Mr. Zaleiwski promised to argue himself on all motions filed by this office but
never showed up at one court hearing claiming that he is a criminal attorney and too
busying. His junior attorney Dustin Bowman went to Judge’s chambers without
Hockenjos and without being on record lost Hockenjos new motion to stop Paumeres
unlawful construction on Hockenjos property despite takeover and falsely accusing
Hockenjos of harassment and attacks on Paumeres when it was clear Paumeres are
doing it to get Hockenjos property. Judge permitted Paumeres air rights encroachment
over Hockenjos property and denied Hockenjos to repair the fence vandalized by
Paumeres. On February 3, 2012 Mr. Bowman had attempt to reargue same motion
but came absolutely unprepared, forgot exhibits with pictures, drawings and surveys
of the construction site and lost again. Judge made a statement that by only Irina
Hockenjos statement he learned for the first time that Paumere and Hockenjos do not
share the driveway but have by deed two separate private driveways for each owner
separated by Paumeres house. Week prior to Hockenjos false arrest Irina Hockenjos’
paid her American Express legal membership for year ahead and called , looking for
criminal attorney who can submit to law enforcement “the civil case” of Paumere
demanding Hockenjos’ property in Court. It was done because several Attorneys
refused to take Hockenjos’ Civil case based on the fact that it is not civil and it is not
real estate issue but criminal. Accidently Hockenjos’ were transferred to partner of
Mr. Zalewski and get reply that Hockenjos’ membership is cancelled just like legal
services after Paumere found out about it from Attorney Aaron Depass.American
Express could not find who cancelled Legal services Irina had for decade. But Irina
Hockenjos’ received letter that for her own interest legal services were cancelled and
money paid ahead for a year returned. In 5 days Hockenjos’ were falsely arrested.
After Mr. Hockenjos was falsely arrested on February 5, 2012 Irina Hockenjos was
helplessly for 18 hours trying to contact Mr. Zaliewski (a criminal attorney) and his
bond company.. with no success. On September 2012, Hockenjos were informed that
24
Judge made a decision on November 22, 2011 about Hockenjos’ renew and
reconsideration, and preliminary injunction denials and Mr. Bowman just learned it
over the internet. He refused to give a copy of the decision to the Hockenjos but then
Hockenjos learned that decision stated that is was based on oral agruments which
never happened because on November 22, 2011 it was a young attorney Micheal
Stevens from Zaliewski office who did not know Hockenjos case who was with Irina
Hockenjos in court for a briefing schedule only.. he did not have opposition’s answer
and was not familiar with the case. Mr. Zaliewski committed fraud upon the court
together with the Judge. Paumere on November 22, sent by FAX the answer and
motions a year later and continued demanding Hockenjos property and even filed
summary judgment against Hockenjos original case to protect Hockenjos property by
deed by calling it baseless and continued demanding the Hockenjos property in their
own case to be granted to the Paumeres
57. On June 20, 2011, Hockenjos meets with Department of Investigation - Inspector
General and Department of Buildings executive staff to present evidence of
corruption, conspiracy and extortion by Department of Buildings and other City
officials, the licensed designer and the Developer. The meeting does not result in any
material change of Department of Buildings practices, oversight and unlawful
“business as usual” but the opposite, the attacks against Hockenjos now in intensifies.
The following harm continues unabated and in some cases accelerates:
a. Property easement information from the property deed running with the land
is still omitted;
b. Allowing continued construction upon unlawful “as-built” conditions that
violate numerous major zoning code provisions while missing over 30
inspection sign-offs and a valid Certificate of Occupancy making the building
dangerous for use and occupancy ;
c. Submited plans clearly attempting to mislead building officials and violate
zoning, building and construction codes;
d. Construction progress in blatant violation of DOB issued stop work orders
(SWO);
e. Work advanced under expired building permits;
f. False certification statements by Developer/licensed designer (punishable by
criminal misdemeanors) but accepted by DOB despite direct evidence to the
contrary submitted to them;
g. DOB construction inspections deliberately intended to mislead, deceive and
trick the public into thinking real DOB investigations and reporting are
happening when in reality the whole thing is a ruse to create the impression
inspections are happening with paper trail comments stating “no violation
warranted at the time of inspection” - - tending to leave one thinking the
original 311 public complaint was almost fabricated or an harassment. Real
investigation/inspection is discouraged and replaced with selective
enforcement as a matter of broad public policy to “protect” this
Developer/Contractor from enforcement actions even when public safety risk
is seriously compromised;
h. Construction inspections that fail to enforce Commissioner’s written orders or
fail to enforce with legitimate zoning, administrative or building codes; or just
25
plain cover-up and intentionally fail to address legitimate 311 complaints even
when public safety is involved.
i. Woefully inadequate and intentional acts to ensure the Developer is not
punished at the Environmental Control Board (ECB) hearings despite having
direct evidence and knowledge of the presentation of false statements by the
Developer, all preset to receive a favorable ECB decision (albeit, under false
pretenses).
j. Unfinished construction illegally occupied by the Developer and not signed
off (over 30 sign-offs and certifications missing). Virtually every building
system is lacking any DOB required safety inspection i.e. gas, electric,
plumbing, etc. making its occupancy completely dangerous to the public
including a missing required for an ‘as-built’ and tested fire sprinkler
throughout the entire building.
k. A persistent and very disturbing pattern of bullying and mobbing in
particular by DOB Construction Division of any homeowners who raise
legitimate concerns about the Developer’s construction and public safety;
Instead of addressing these issues DOI and DOB work together to promote the
unlawful conduct by the Developer, licensed designers, contractors and public
officials. So bad is the situation, on two occasions Hockenjos has to call the
Federal government (OHSA) for help since DOB patently refuses to enforce or
protect the Hockenjos or the Public against imminent danger. Clearly the
relationship between Paumere and local public officials is a very cozy one to
blatantly ignore public safety issues. Only when Federal agents from OHSA got
involved on-site was the DOB Construction Division forced to act to protect and
serve the public.
58. Another example of how NYC public officials deliberately sabotage homeowners
(Hockenjos), DOI Special Investigator Miller exposed Hockenjos’ sources and
evidence to the point that he materially interfered with any DOB corruption
investigation and hindered prosecution while at the same time materially interfered
with Hockenjos’ lawful DOB administrative appeals that led Hockenjos’ legal
representation on June 24, 2011 to withdraw representation effective immediately.
Hockenjos’ appeal was greatly delayed; in the end this appeal uncovered massive
fraud and violations of the City’s zoning code with the assistance of DOB’s Technical
Affairs Bureau (Manhattan) that prepared a detailed Notice of Objections (NOO)
dated October 12, 2012. If DOI had not interfered, these violations could have been
addressed earlier and more easily. However, the result is along with other unpunished
DOB violations and false statements from Paumere, the Department of Buildings
basically made sure the entire building would violate building, zoning and
construction codes and ensure Paumere would never have to comply with the City’s
zoning and building codes ever again by allowing Paumere to illegal occupy (based
on false statements provided by Paumere and his licensed designer) this unfinished
building (“tree fort”) with no (safety) sign-offs of any kind or fire sprinklers as
required throughout by building code, making the entire building forever unsafe
and dangerous. DOI together with DOB allowed this illegal construction to continue
many more months and due to their delays and interference, and to this day say
26
Hockenjos’ issue is best handled as a “civil dispute”. Clearly, DOB and DOI are
using the “civil dispute” or a “separate Department issue (ECB)” as a complete smoke
screen distraction and cover-up of their own Departments’ failings and integrity
issues. If DOI did not materially interfere with Hockenjos’ lawful appeal, compliance
with the zoning code could have been possible many months earlier and this illegal
building could have easily been corrected and safely occupied. Hockenjos asked that
Special Investigator Miller be punished for all the damage he did but that did not
happen; rather than that it is business as usual in both Departments. In essences
Department of Buildings allowed Paumere to continue to build an illegal house for
practically ONE year from July 2011 to June 2012 and beyond, despite over 80 – call
311 complaints of such illegal activity. Hockenjos fully documented these facts in
surveillance video and in volumes of direct correspondence to upper levels of
DOB/DOI from August 2011 to November 2012. DOB/DOI is fully aware of these
punishable and criminal acts by Paumere but continue to refuse to investigate or
enforce the City’s administrative codes and even go as far as to allow the Developer’s
construction to continue. Ironically, Special Investigator Miller’s conduct only
benefited the illegal acts by Paumere and corrupt licensed designers, contractor and
DOB officials.
59. Mid-2011 Hockenjos learns that Mr. LaMandri was appointed to the Department of
Buildings Commissioner on August 15, 2008 right after Michael Bloomberg had the
City Council change the requirement on August 14, 2008 that an appointed
commissioner must be a licensed engineer or architect. By granting this change Mr.
LaMandri became the first commissioner without a NYS license to practice or have a
full professional working knowledge of NYC’s Safety, Building, Zoning and
Construction Codes, hence, opening the flood gates to unsafe buildings being built all
over the City endangering the public like that currently occupied by the Developer, a
building that is illegal in every sense of the word and continues to present a fire and
human health safety hazard to the public but remains occupied with no DOB intention
to enforce the Codes or protect the public (since LiMandri is not licensed and has no
obligation to uphold the code’s laws) or protect NYC citizens from the incomplete
work that is not signed off. Over 30 building system sign-offs missing from the web
based Building Information System (BIS) as direct evidence that DOB is willfully,
intentionally and knowingly with reckless, negligent and remiss conduct failing
to protect the public while the Department of Investigation (DOI) participates rather
than investigate the corruption that allows an unsafe building on this scale to be
occupied without a valid Certificate of Occupancy. Hockenjos worries greatly since:
a. the building has at least one newly installed fireplace in the unfinished and
unsigned-off illegally expanded (zoning violation) portion of the building that
is used regularly but the entire building is missing code required fire sprinkler
systems on all 4-levels,
b. missing or non-existent official DOB sign-offs/inspections of any kind to
certify overall public safety all a known risk reported to DOB/DOI October
2012 as missing resulting in a condition that has existed since the building was
illegally occupied June 6, 2012.
27
c. adjoining properties flood due to non-existent (and non-code compliant) storm
water drainage systems of any kind over the Developer’s entire property
which
i. in the spring-summer: attracts West Nile Virus carrying mosquitos
ii. in the fall-winter:
1. at the roof level (3.5 stories high) creates dangerous (large)
icicle formations that dangerously crash to the ground
2. at ground level create slip-fall hazards and sheets of ice that
make stopping a car almost impossible; a complete outrage
given the public health safety laws willfully violated by this
Commissioner due to his refusal to enforce building codes;
correct illegal building conditions and zoning laws. Emissions
at ground level of apparently dangerous carbon monoxide gas
spewing from uncertified service equipment which DOB/DOI
knows about and allows to continue putting human lives in
potential peril. Fuel gas tests and fuel gas authorizations
unrecorded by the DOB Building Information System (BIS)
that if remains untested the City having no knowledge of the
gas leak status of the new gas feeder line. The list goes on and
on while the DOB/DOI knows all about it but refuses to
enforce building safety codes or vacate the building until on
life safety and major zoning violations are corrected.
60. By October, 2011, a pattern of criminal activities begins to ramp up after Brooklyn
Borough Buildings Commissioner September 30, 2011 orders a 15-day intent to revoke
House #2372’s (Paumere’s) building permits (as a result of a Notice of Objections
(NOO) citing major zoning code violations and other matters) initiated by Hockenjos.
61. On Sunday, October 2, 2011 a delivery person to our home is ruthlessly assaulted,
battered and robbed as soon as he leaves Hockenjos front steps by a gang of 3-5
members. One of the gang members uses a wireless key fob to unlock a vehicle across
the street. All material is captured on video but Hockenjos has reservations about
sharing the video with the NYPD Precinct 61 given the history of this Precinct failing to
investigate crimes and distrust on how the police will use the security tape at Hockenjos
residence and the fear that Paumere is “working closely” with certain individuals at
Precinct 61 to harm and act against Hockenjos. So bad is the 61 Precinct that Hockenjos
is forced to make criminal complaints at other police Precincts in Brooklyn/Queens
that they can trust such as the 65, 68 and 104 Precincts.
62. On Friday, October 7, 2011, a large wooden slab falls 3.5 stories and does serious
damage to Hockenjos vehicle. Police refuse to take a report but after a sergeant is called
to the scene, a criminal mischief report is taken. No investigation or questioning of the
Developer’s suspects at the scene is initiated. Sergeant later attempts to assert a
FALSE violation against Hockenjos completely contrary to any wrong-doing in
archived surveillance video at Hockenjos’ home at the scene.
63. On Saturday, October 8, 2011, Developer takes pictures through all 3 driver side window
panels similar to Monday, October 3, 2011 when the Developer takes pictures through
the rear window of Hockenjos gold 4-door sedan. On Sunday, October 9, 2011, at 5:09
am an unknown person commits a crime, unlocks Hockenjos vehicle with a wireless key
28
fob, trespasses Hockenjos’ property, gains unauthorized access to our vehicle and
removes contents while spending some time inside the vehicle doing other things
(potentially planting things inside, etc).
64. On October 10, 2011, a NYCDEP inspector arrives to place a $ 10,000 per day violation
notice on our house. On October 12, 2011, two NYCDEP Hazardous Material
inspectors state “you will be very busy, we will get a search warrant and we will make
your life miserable”. The same day, the Developer’s design engineer submits plans to
address (NOO) objections that are later disapproved by DOB over a year later on
November 29, 2012. On October 13, 2011, the same NYCDEP inspector on October 10,
2011, writes another $ 10,000 per day violation notice using Mrs. Hockenjos’ maiden
name (the Developer is one of a few that know Mrs. Hockenjos’ maiden name). When
the inspector is questioned, he states he only writes four of these violations a month but
his supervisor ordered he write two of them for us in less than week despite no evidence
of such violations. On October 14, 2011, Hockenjos is denied protection of their
property in Kings County Supreme Court by Judge Larry D. Martin. On October 15,
2011, Developer receives a DOB full stop work order (SWO) on their property. On
October 16, 2011, Hockenjos takes a photo of Developer intentionally trespassing
Hockenjos property; that picture strongly suggests that the Developer has raised the
stakes and is now not only targeting all Hockenjos’ land but Hockenjos’ only home.
Soon after, on February 5, 2012, Hockenjos is falsely arrested by NYPD officers for
felony reckless endangerment charges (putting an officer at risk of death) that never
happened. Three people are standing in Hockenjos’ driveway at the time including the
Paumere; and all 3 are reported witnesses to the serious criminal charges against
Hockenjos. Mr. Hockenjos would have lost his job, reputation, his family and only
home as a result of a conviction on these charges. It should be noted that these officers
had no motive to take these powerful actions against Hockenjos, only Paumere stood to
gain from such a serious arrest and conviction, since as a result, Hockenjos would have
been eliminated and would have lost their house in the process.
65. On October 20, 2011, surveyor for Paumere works in Hockenjos driveway; for a full 15
minutes Paumere thrusts a camera in Mrs. Hockenjos’ face, menacing her and only stops
after NYPD police arrive. These acts are all captured on a surveillance video and are the
precise acts Hockenjos is accused of perpetrating against Paumere in civil court papers
that never happened. NYPD officers refuse to take a police report or investigate on the
menacing/harassment by Paumere.
66. On October 24, 2011, a partial SWO is granted to waterproof the side of the house,
repair roof and clean debris outside. Instead of preforming these tasks, the Developer
continues to advance construction of the building inside and outside in complete
violation of the partial SWO.
67. On October 26, 2011, les pendency is filed and Developer is warned by our attorney to
cease tampering with our expert witnesses, or attempt to intimidate or influence their
testimony at trial.
68. Hockenjos’ were complaining to the Mayor’s office for hundreds of times trough 311and
to his Departments and get people very interested but after promised to get back they all
disappeared and did not reply telephone calls. Hockenjos’ went to Mr. Bloomberg’s
Commission on Human Rights and got in two seconds decision stating that it is finalhomeowners do not have Human Rights in NYC, only tenants can complain about
29
Human Rights violations. Rudely Hockenjos’ were told to not complain anymore. Any
attempt to contact Mayor on the radio, through his Office, Business got immediately
addressed very rudely with strong pushing not to complain as Mayor knows what is
happening and approves crimes by DOB and NYPD.
Year 2012
69. Shortly after January 5, 2012, Paumere orders several contractors to demolish [and
discontinue] the existence of Hockenjos concrete driveway. Concerned about property
damage, safety, violations of construction codes (that seem to be largely ignored by
DOB – Construction Division), irreparable harm to Hockenjos driveway, encroachments
and violation of a standing restraining order pendent lite “not to interfere with or
construct upon [Hockenjos] driveway”, Mr. Hockenjos repositions his vehicles to
protect his property. With no prior agreement for an orderly demolition of Hockenjos
driveway, Hockenjos is compelled to protect and enforce the restraining order since
these violating acts are imminent. Paumere at this point was already facing a pending
motion to punish for contempt for violating very the same court order that remained
pending since August 2010!
70. On January 9, 2012, Hockenjos faxes to Police Headquarters an URGENT request to
meet the Police Commissioner, Ray Kelly (after all appeals at Precinct 61 and Internal
Affairs Bureau (IAB) fail). Meanwhile, Hockenjos is quite concerned about the
escalating violence, gang activity and reckless crime, and the lack of investigation and
trust in the NYPD, failure to protect, and police misconduct at the Hockenjos residence
(coincidently after the Developer is issued a major setback in his construction and
approved building permits in October 2011 resulting from Hockenjos’ formal DOB
objections). Adding even more to Hockenjos concern is surveillance video that strongly
suggests a link between the Developer and the criminal acts occurring at Hockenjos’
property. Hockenjos refaxes the same letter January 17, 2012 and contacts police
officials to be sure they receive; Police Headquarters verbally confirms receipt of the
letter for immediate action, however, no official NYPD response is ever received.
71. On January 25, 2012, Hockenjos is forced to file an EMERGENCY defamation lawsuit
due the Developer’s reckless publishing of false material damaging the reputation of
Hockenjos. On January 26, 2012 Hockenjos is granted a restraining order that orders
the Developer to remove all defaming material on the internet. On March 23, 2012,
Hockenjos is forced to file a motion to punish for contempt (of the restraining order)
since the Developer resumes publishing even more damaging material on the internet
after news articles about Hockenjos’ false arrest are published throughout the nation.
Hockenjos at this time files a default judgment since no answer is filed by the Developer;
the Developer at this point is just ignoring these lawsuits. Defaming material against
Hockenjos continues to remain on the internet. All actions are pending court rulings.
Hockenjos at this time is pro se and not represented.
72. On February 5, 2012, after arriving home from grocery shopping (on SuperBowl
Sunday), Mr. and Mrs. Hockenjos are falsely arrested at their home in their driveway.
Mr. Hockenjos’ wife is assaulted and battered. At arraignment more than 24-hours later
Mr. Hockenjos is shocked to learn for the first time he is charged with and facing 7-years
in prison:
 “PL 120.25 Reckless Endangerment in the First Degree” (1 Count – D Felony)
30

“PL 120.20 Reckless Endangerment in the Second Degree” (1 Count – A
Misdemeanor)
 “VT 1212 Reckless Driving” (1 Count – Unclassified Misdemeanor)
Nearly a dozen officers are called to the scene on a distress call, and witness and/or
assist in Mr. Hockenjos’ spontaneous false arrest; all at the scene understanding nothing
apparent ever happened while Mr. Hockenjos removed groceries from his vehicle. Argo
Paumere is an additional witness to a crime that never happened!
73. On February 5-6, 2012 between 6pm to 4am, Irina Hockenjos goes to Precinct 61
checking on Mr. Hockenjos’ well-being and then writes numerous e-mails and calls all
hours of the night desperately seeking help from anyone who will assist her.
74. At Hockenjos arraignment Tuesday, February 6-7, 2012 on or about 1:00 am, Mr.
Hockenjos learns for the first time his charges as read by the Kings County District
Attorney’s office at arraignment before Hon. Judge Charles M. Troia. Mr. Hockenjos
could not forget the unbelievable force of the charges against him and the anger
expressed by Judge Troia when my attorney appealed to the judge for leniency in the
bail. Mrs. Hockenjos witnessed the same display and was in complete shock. KCDA
asked for $ 10,000 bail (clearly out of reach for Mr. and Mrs. Hockenjos) but the Judge
ordered $ 3,500 bail, still the highest bail surveyed by Mr. Hockenjos of anyone
incarcerated that night at criminal court.
75. On Tuesday, February 7, 2012, Mr. Hockenjos was transferred from Central Booking
downtown Brooklyn to Rikers Island, Queens; City of New York’s main jail complex.
With no money, a free phone became available for Mr. Hockenjos to make his only call
to his wife to tell her that he was now being transferred to Rikers Island. During the
entire trip shockingly prisoners freely smoked pot on the bus the whole trip
approximately for 45 minutes long to Queens, New York – Rikers Island.
76. Once at Rikers all possessions were taken from Mr. Hockenjos including his wallet. Mr.
Hockenjos was ordered to strip and cavity search conducted. Naked with no clothes or
shoes 5 or more prisoners were lined up in front of open doors with the cold winter air
blowing off Flushing Bay and each prisoner was checked one at a time. At this point
one of the guards took Mr. Hockenjos voucher for his wallet without Hockenjos’
knowledge and swapped it for protective heel cups (foot appliances) in Mr. Hockenjos
shoes.
77. On Tuesday, February 7, 2012 Irina Hockenjos took MTA public transportation alone at
night on a cold early February morning to Rikers Island terrified the whole way and at
5:25 am posted bail at the City’s main jail complex to ensure the quickest possible
release of Mr. Hockenjos that would have otherwise been as much as another two days
longer. Mrs Hockenjos strongly believed that once Mr. Hockenjos reached the general
prison population he would be killed. While at Rikers Irina Hockenjos observes an
officer from the 61 Precinct conducting certain business about the same time at the
prison.
78. Once released Mr. Hockenjos on Tuesday, February 7, 2013 attempts to retrieve the
surveillance video from his camera system. Upon entering and attempting to view the
video on his left screen, Mr. Hockenjos observes for the first time in over 2 years that the
system shows no viewable video suggesting all recordings on the hard drive (memory)
has been completely wiped clean. Amazingly, no retrievable video was available, it was
all erased and/or disappeared clearly suggesting some type of remote tampering of the
31
camera system. Mr. Hockenjos became immediately terrified since this was his most
reliable bank of cameras for him, so Mr. Hockenjos attempted to enter the right screen
(the “back-up” system) and after a very long delay the system held up and video data and
viewing was possible. As soon as the segment of tape was identified, this electronic
material was downloaded onto a flash drive and additional copies transferred to CD
discs. The next day, February 8, 2013 we presented the video to our new attorney Craig
Newman who legally confirmed the blatant wrongful arrest of Mr. and Mrs. Hockenjos.
79. The same night on Wednesday, February 8, 2012 on or about 12 Midnight, John and
Irina Hockenjos arrived at IAB headquarters on 315 Hudson Street, New York, New
York. Two plain clothes officers came to the lobby to meet us and before we could get a
word out they immediately stated “They had seen all the reports and you [Hockenjos]
were without question guilty as charged by the officer, and there was at least one
(independent) witness to corroborate the officers criminal allegations therefore there is
no reason for IAB to take your complaint since this will not change your being found
guilty on all charges by NYPD officers. You [Hockenjos] are chronic complainers and
IAB will not waste their time taking your complaint against these officers, the complaint
will have no bearing on your guilt and will be a waste of time for IAB. This is a rock
solid case against you (Hockenjos) because there is an independent eye witness that said
you did these things, IAB is completely satisfied that there was no need to look at any
further evidence in this case”. When we stated we had brought our laptop computer and
a disc of the video showing the police officers lied, they ordered us to leave and mail that
evidence to them and they would look at it when they got the chance and would get back
to us. Looking very satisfied they stated “They were more than satisfied that there was
finally plenty of evidence against us to prove we were guilty and that there was no need
to investigate this matter or any police misconduct any further. Just send the evidence,
put it in the mail and we will review it when we have more time and get back to you if
we find any reason to discuss this matter further we will contact you”. We indicated we
would not leave until someone viewed the tape at IAB because we were already there
and these were serious felony charges against us, we wanted to be absolutely sure that
IAB would get the evidence, view the evidence with us if they had any questions and act
accordingly to protect us and investigate and arrest the police officer sooner than later.
IAB very reluctantly escorted us into the building to an interrogation room. We spent
with IAB until 3-4 am being questioned about the video, ensuring their systems could
finally read the video (due to several technical problems downloading and viewing it in
their computer systems) and they said they were calling Commissioner Ray Kelly’s
office immediately to report this officers apparent criminal acts.
80. Based on information and belief, on Thursday, February 9, 2012 an indictment was
handed down against Mr. John Hockenjos from Grand Jury testimony given by PO
Diego Palacios.
81. On Thursday, February 9, 2012, the video was handed to the assigned ADA as damming
evidence that the officer lied and would be prejudicial to their case against Mr.
Hockenjos and the Grand Jury indictment and any testimony by PO Diego Palacios.
This ADA was reminded twice that day to view that tape as soon as possible before
bring any indictment to court the next day.
32
82. On February 28, 2012 the charges against Mr. John Hockenjos and April 14, 2012, the
charge of disorderly conduct against Mrs. Hockenjos are completely dismissed and
sealed by an order of the court.
83. On March 14, 2012, Mr. Hockenjos attends the 61 Precinct Community Council meeting
to ask the Police Commander why there were no checks and balances in place to prevent
Mr. Hockenjos’ false arrest and wondering had the Commander been more accessible
and taken preemptive steps to address a community problem with both the police and
vicious criminal acts against Hockenjos’ maybe the False Arrest could have been
stopped before it got started. The Commander tried to turn the events into a “neighborly
dispute” or “civil action” where the police have no jurisdiction but Hockenjos reminded
the Commander of our request that he intercede in an assault and battery against my wife
by Mrs. Paumere over a year earlier and a badly needed court order of protection being
sought that required a police investigation on his part for which he himself never
responded despite our repeated calls for action. Partially because this was not resolved
violent gang and other crime activities against the Hockenjos’ (presumably ordered by
the Paumeres) escalated coming to our home when in fifteen (15) years not one single
crime took place at our home before these incidents.
84. After the Dismissal of all criminal charges on February 28, 2012, Mr. Hockenjos was
asked to fully cooperate with the criminal investigation of the police officer in a series of
meetings with the KCDA’s Rackets Division Civil Rights and Police Integrity Bureau
ADA Elizabeth Moehle and Unit Chief Charles Guria while Mrs. Hockenjos was asked
by IAB to identify the officers responsible for her assault and battery. These meetings
ranged from 3-4 hours long on February 17, 2012, March 15, 2012, April 3, 2012 and
April 26, 2012 and included Mr. Hockenjos’ sworn testimony before a Grand Jury that
indicts Police Officer Diego Palacios. Mrs. Hockenjos agrees to participate in a photo
lineup administered by Interanl Affairs Bureau (“the IAB”) that seems more designed
for failure and covers up the offending officers. The photo lineup included black and
white photos with officer’s pictures years earlier from police academy, shaven heads
(hair color indistinguishable) and no clear indications of their height. The offending
officer had red curling hair, was very short in stature, perhaps 5 foot, 6-7 inches, with a
small-medium build and his partner had thick bushy dark straight hair standing up,
perhaps 5 foot, 9 inches, medium build. Given the photo lineup was so poorly
conducted (possibly intentionally), Mrs. Hockenjos fails to the identity of the offending
officers. Mrs. Hockenjos is traumatized once again by the improper conduct of IAB and
their photo lineup that seemed to protect the offending officers more than seek the truth
about the officers who did this to her and have those officers punished. IAB fails once
again to conduct an unbiased, impartial investigation knowing full well it would be
practically impossible for Mrs. Hockenjos to identify the guilty officers from the black
and white photo lineup presented to her, literally giving those officers a free pass to
commit more official misconduct remarkably even after a felony was already committed
by Officer Palacios at the scene. IAB abruptly close the alleged assault and battery of
Irina Hockenjos by police officers at the scene on February 5, 2012 and no one is
punished.
85. Hockenjos’ came personally to Attorney General Office and were rudely sent away
after false arrest as well as Public Advocate Office.Intake of Attorney Genaral stated :”I
do not care what is happening to you, it is all civil”.
33
86. During all publications about Hockenjos’ false arrest Paumeres were very active and put
in writing under the articles their opinion that John Hockenjos’ is criminal and commit
crimes. On May 31,2012 after Diego Palacios indictment Hockenjos’ came home and
were interviewed by WPIX Channel 11 reporter Jay Dow when Argo Paumere was
rushing to inform the reporter that Paumere was witnessing that Hockenjos’ came with
high speed, trying to kill police officers and must be in Jail. Paumere insist that Jay dow
will be taking Paumeres telephone and “discuss” with him that John Hockenjos’ is guilty
criminal but Mr. Dow declined. Channel 11 since then was “contacted” and all plans to
speak to “Help me Howard” were stopped. Local Channel One was interesting about
Hockenjos’ story but about the time Hockenjos’ delivered the tape DA Richard Farrell
who recognized Elen Paumere was there and Channel One was never done any report on
the Hockenjos’. DA Office was defending Argo Paumere and covered him up
completely without ant investigation being ever done for 1,5 years. Paumere was the 3rd
witness and sign witness statement about severe crime that Hockenjos’ never committed
which should of make Hockenjos’ criminal record and Jail time for about 7 years for
John and 15 days for Irina. Argo Paumere only one who needs that happened and only
one who had motive but get away also with this crime as part of extortion of Hockenjos’
property, money. Significant that after Hockenjos’ arrest, imprisonment in several days
as February 10 ,2012 was scheduled hearing for paumeres case which demands
Hockenjos’ property, money will be granted to Paumere by Court!
87. On or about May 31, 2012, Police Officer Diego Palacios was arrested and charged with
the following crimes by the Kings County District Attorney’s office:
a. “PL 175.35 Offering a False Instrument for Filing in the First Degree” (2 Counts
– E Felony),
b. “PL 175.10 Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree (2 Counts – E
Felony),
c. “PL 195.00 Official Misconduct” (1 Count – Class A Misdemeanor),
d. “PL 210.05 Perjury in the Third Degree (1 Count – Class A Misdemeanor), and
e. “PL 210.35 Making an Apparently Sworn False Statement in the Second Degree”
(1 Count – Class A Misdemeanor).
88. On July 31, 2012, Argo Paumere (the Developer) states to Mr. Hockenjos “Watch out
tomorrow morning” without explaining what he means. The next day Wednesday,
August 1, 2012, Mr. Hockenjos attempts to drive his green Ford Focus only to find that
the brakes were tampered with and there are, in fact, no brakes on the car. Mr.
Hockenjos almost crashes. This vehicle only passed inspection by a certified
automobile mechanic May 31, 2012 (2 months earlier). We e-mailed KCDA Charles M.
Guria but never got a response. Hockenjos was afraid to call the police on this matter
fearful police might order this vehicle (protecting our property) removed from his
driveway. Hockenjos takes a picture of a puddle of brake fluid on the ground beneath
the driver’s side rear wheel. Hockenjos has been unable to do any further investigation
given his struggles to stop the fraud, corruption and conspiracy, and must continue to
maintain numerous legal cases to protect their property from extortion and their civil
rights.
89. On January 3, 2013, Hockenjos in support of a NY Post article the same day “Quinn’s
decision to keep Ray Kelly on as police commissioner if elected mayor” was being
challenged by Public Advocate, Bill De Blasio, in his statement “The people of this City
34
are sick of backroom deals” and accused Bloomberg of “trying to exert influence on the
next administration, trying to continue to have a role that is not one that should continue
after his term is up.” Mr. Hockenjos wrote he was in general agreement and questioned
recent rise in misconduct and abuse of authority at the NYPD (requiring an independent
monitor) leading to an astronomical rise in lawsuits against the City costing City
taxpayers dearly with payouts more than a $ 0.5 Billion a year. That the NYPD should
invest in better unbiased internal (quality) controls (and independent inspector general)
to investigate allegations of NYPD waste and abuse of authority costing taxpayers
billions of dollars a year. Clearly, special controls were not happening under Ray
Kelly’s “old school” thinking and with the advent of “new age” of computers, cell
phones, audio recordings and security cameras serving as effective crime deterrents and
investigative tools in the 20th Century; that resources would be better allocated from
patrolman to more efficient and high quality means of investigation and handling of
electronic evidence leading to “highly reliable” criminal convictions and almost 100%
surety the accused was guilty as opposed to the past where innocent victims were
accused, convicted and sent to jail almost routinely. Case in point, my case as an
example of electronic evidence exonerating an innocent victim (Mr. Hockenjos) of a
crime he did not commit. Further appointing independent overseer away from the
NYPD for unbiased investigations, prosecutions without conflicts of interest and
adequately funded would be in the best interests of the City and civil rights of innocent
citizens. I my short time in the system I witnessed dozens of young people whose lives
were being destroyed by the criminal justice system and NYPD by staged (made-up)
arrests. I was told the system is a big money maker for the City by way of Federal
funding for each prisoner when in fact it really costs the City by the Federal $$
subsidizing the system but with prison populations shrinking that dollar funding of the
prison system should shrink together with it. So the criminal justice system is being
artificially inflated by an incentive to jail innocent citizens. This is wrong.
90. As follow-up on January 11, 2013 Hockenjos visited De Blasio’s office at One Centre
Street, 15th Floor, New York, NY, LaKeshia K. Battle and Alejandra George who were
unable to find electronic email inquiry from Hockenjos to the Public Advocate of
January 3 via: GetHelp@pubadvocate.nyc.gov. As a result Hockenjos recreated this
email and spoke to Alejandra George who was shocked to learn our story and promised
to get back to us. Sadly, De Blassio refused to advocate or intervene for us despite
the tremendous harm these City agencies caused while promoting crime against
simple homeowners. Further, he rejected our suggestions for more effective policing or
independent monitor in New York City that could stem the tide on police misconduct
and abuse of innocent and vulnerable citizens of NYC and reduce the high cost of
policing and cost to society for mostly minority youth. This seemed odd the Public
Advocate refused to advocate and/or investigate our legitimate concerns about this
Developer without giving a reason and our complaints about corruption, misconduct and
extreme waste in City government and apparent cover-ups within several Departments
that harm everyday homeowners and others just like us, and advocate on behalf of us
ensuring City government is responsive and working for the people. He completely
abandoned us and refused to do his job which is advocate for simple citizens.
Further, we knew of other victims of Department of Buildings corruption, favoritism,
abuses, professional misconduct / conflicts of interest left unpunished and DOB
35
Construction Division inspectors all working together to “bully” and “mob” ordinary
homeowners objecting Developers to lose and/or destroy homeowners properties
contiguous to significant real estate developments that illegally benefit Developers. All
Hockenjos’ concerns understandably and reasonably within scope of the Public
Advocate’s duties to serve the public but were completely ignored for Hockenjos, as
they were ignored in the past when we approached the Public Advocate about the same
problem in 2009. We believe that De Blasio fails to perform his job in the public
interest as a matter of routine covers and protects unscrupulous Developers who may
even engage in crimes and destroy simple homeowners; he is unfit to be a Mayor given
his poor track record of performance as Public Advocate, bias, self-serving treatment
against simple homeowners in distress seeking reasonable advocating positions with the
Department of Buildings in opposition of a reckless and calculating Developer who
targets the innocent, vulnerable and takes full advantage of ordinary homeowners using
the Department of Buildings and others.
91. On February 5, 2013, Hockenjos pro se files an anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against
Public Participation) lawsuit under Index 28786-2010 due to blatant violations of
(Hockenjos) New York State Civil Rights Law §§ 70-a, 76-a and N.Y. C.P.L.R. §§
3211(g), 3212(h), that offers protection against SLAPPs brought by entities seeking
permits or applications from a government body (like zoning/building permits) over
efforts of the Defendant (Hockenjos) to report on, comment on, rule on, challenge, or
oppose such application or permission (from Building Department). Action 28786-2010
against Hockenjos under the law constitutes a form of intimidation to irreparably and
financially damage Hockenjos that violates New York State Civil Rights Law as is
alleged in the anti-SLAPP lawsuit .All Hockenjos’ filings as Contempt motion, motion
about Paumeres frivolous case and all answers are ignored by Court and some
disappearing. Paumeres case against the Hockenjos’ moving ahead for res judicata not
living to the Hockenjos’ any hope to survive and save Hockenjos’ home. Clerk Lorry for
Judge Martin told to the Hockenjos’ that Judge is going to grant Hockenjos’ property,
money to Paumere and it is going to be just a bad decision.for the Hockenjos’!..
92. On or about Thursday, February 7, 2013, (about a year after the false arrest of Mr.
Hockenjos) former Police Officer Diego Palacios agrees to a plea deal from the Kings
County District Attorney that includes pleading guilty to a single reduced charge of “PL
210.35 Making an Apparently Sworn False Statement in the Second Degree” (1 Count –
A Misdemeanor) and sentenced to 4-days in prison. Due to a quirk in State law that
requires inmates to be freed on Friday if the scheduled discharge falls on a weekend the
Police Bureau Chief at the New York Post found Mr. Palacios spent only one night in
jail when the innocent victim, Mr. Hockenjos, spent 3 days in jail and faced 7-years in
prison after being released on bail. Mr. Hockenjos was so traumatized by this plea deal
that he made trips to the District Attorney’s office and spoke to ADA Elizabeth Moehle
who stated Mr. Hockenjos agreed to this deal which was false, I would have never have
agreed to this kind of deal when officers for similar false arrests agreed to pleas of up to
5 years in prison. How could the KCDA not see the disparity in the punishment unless a
special deal for this officer was made at the detriment of the victim? Mr. and Mrs.
Hockenjos also visited the Kings County Criminal Court and to our shock found Mr.
Argo Paumere (“the Developer”) in the same criminal court just one day after the plea
deal was finalized by the newly appointed judge unfamiliar with the case.. only further
36
traumatizing Mr. and Mrs. Hockenjos who were left to wonder how far the corruption
extends. Why would Mr. Argo Paumere be in the criminal court only one day after this
shockingly favorable plea deal? Several days after the police officer was released from
jail, on Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 2:47 AM, an unknown person (connected to
the Developer from a previous attack on October 9, 2012 that included October 3, 2012
and October 8, 2012) attempted to gain an unauthorized entry into Hockenjos vehicle
parked in his driveway using a wireless key fob to unlock car doors, but due to
improvised door stops by Hockenjos this unknown person’s attempt was thwarted.
From the video, the experience this person used was uncanny and professional. After
many of these terribly shocking events, Mr. Hockenjos immediately requested from his
employer (“the MTA”) a second Family Medical Leave (FMLA) for a 3-week period
based on his medical service provider’s evaluation in an attempt to medically recovery
from yet another trauma from this outrageous miscarriage of justice and the continued
criminal attacks on their home a year later like that were taking place in October 2011
before Mr. Hockenjos arrest and now occurring right after the guilty officer was released
and given freedom.. clearly someone (likely the Developer) is in control of these
criminal acts that are always timed to coincide with major events... all criminal acts for
which the police at 61 Precinct have refused to investigate since 2010 and likely involve
extortion and Paumere. Just like the Department of Buildings and Department of
Investigation there is a complete refusal to investigate and enforce the law to protect a
citizen, and a general law enforcement policy to brush everything (“the dirt”) under the
rug.
93. On Wednesday, February 13, 2013, at 2:47 AM an unknown person trespasses onto our
property and attempted to gain unauthorized access into our vehicle (either to rob our
vehicle or the contents therein or plant something inside). It is such a coincidence that
fifteen months passed with no incident like this (last time October 9, 2011 shortly
after/before Paumere building permit was revoked and entire building was found in
violation, and October 3, 2011 and October 8, 2011 when Elen Paumere took numerous
pictures inside our vehicle) and this now happens just after the former police officer
Diego Palacios was freed from jail.
94. On February 26, 2013, DOI claims “DOI conducted (at the behest of Hockenjos given
the Developer’s overt attempts to violate the law) ... no misconduct or wrongdoing on
behalf of City employees found”, “DOI findings do not show any wrongdoing of
architects or engineers”, further “alleges LiMandri is “taking” Hockenjos property and
planning on killing Hockenjos” and the conclusions are that “the matter is best handled
in a civil proceeding” which is in fact a complete fallacy. This letter tends to attack
Hockenjos credibility and reputation. Remarkably, there are major disconnects with
DOI’s assessment because there have been nothing but problems with this Developer
and Department of Buildings from the chronology established herein that shows that if
Hockenjos had not taken action to protect themselves, their property would have been
seriously harmed by all the wrongdoing by DOB, architect/engineer and Developer.
Codes of every kind broken by the architect and contractor, and DOB employees
mobbing Hockenjos furthering the Developer’s goals of harming Hockenjos real
property all that can only lead one to the conclusion corruption, conspiracy and
extortion at many levels of government that is broken to reverse its own woeful decline.
This “as-built” building was found to violate so many codes and continues to violate
37
those codes; plans both previous and latest did not correct the issues, false inapplicable
DOB approvals granting impermissible special approvals, false statements under oath by
the Developer and engineer remain intact (with no criminal punishment – inviting even
more false statements in the future) and use of those false statements in ECB court to
further the illegal acts to occupy an unfinished building lacking all construction signoffs. Further, this “as-built” building on the DOB Building Information System (BIS)
was found to be missing over 30 code required sign-offs and certifications making it a
dangerous building that is now currently occupied without a Certificate of Occupancy!
If all of this is not corruption, conspiracy and extortion, what is it? Especially,
when everything is systematically directed to harm and victimize Hockenjos, it is not
Hockenjos’ imagination… these things are really happening to us and there is direct
evidence to prove it.
95. DOI needs to be reminded that Hockenjos false arrest is still under investigation for
precisely the same thing: corruption, conspiracy and extortion. How can DOI
conclude “no wrongdoing” when the pattern of wrongdoing is so direct and so powerful
and so numerous? Something is missing and not right with DOI or their impartiality.
96. Due the major trauma and injury of all these things, Mr. Hockenjos now is so shocked
about the NYPD officer’s lenient punishment (thinking the corruption continues to
target them through ALL City agencies) with the criminal attack afterwards, Mr.
Hockenjos starts Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) on February 25, 2013 and
scheduled to end on March 15, 2013; returning to work March 18, 2013 then extended to
March 20, 2013.
97. On March 20, 2013, after receiving medical clearance to return to work, Mr. Hockenjos,
is told that he no longer works at MTA – Metro-North Railroad; his job for the last 14+
years and prior to that a Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ)
employee for about 7 years - - a total of 20 years of hard work gone due to the harm of
this Developer and City agencies including law enforcement (NYPD). Mr. Hockenjos
goes into a state of even greater shock and loses control of his bladder and bowels, and
is escorted by security from the building; his wife picks him up in the lobby of the MTA
building.
98. On May 20, 2013 at 11:00 EST while making a phone call to Federal Plaza in New York
City, the Hockenjos’ got their first confirmation that their phones where tapped as they
long suspected due to the excessive static, noise and interference so bad that we had to
change carriers. During the phone call someone stated “Holy Crap” and when I asked
the person I was talking if they heard this, they said “No”. Because the phone call was
on speaker phone both Mr. and Mrs. Hockenjos heard and have since changed carriers
but still suspect that this new phone is also tapped. Hockenjos’ submitted complaints to
IAB as earlier submit complaint about surveillance performed by PO from P-t 61 next to
Hockenjos’ residence. Man who claimed he was from P-t 61 sit in the dark car parked
next to Hockenjos’ home for very long time late hours. Hockenjos’ came out to make
pictures of his license plates. Man came out and admits that he is from P-t 61 showing
badge number. None of this complaints were addressed by IAB as usual even after
Hockenjos’ were told by person who took complaint that investigator will be coming to
the Hockenjos’ within the hour.
99. Mr. Hockenjos now unemployed as result of corruption, conspiracy and extortion
courtesy of the Developer, the licensed designers hired by the Developer, attorneys and
38
many, many City agencies and departments providing material support to the Developer
including Department of Buildings, Department of Investigation, New York Fire
Department, Sanitation Department, New York City Department of Environmental
Protection, New York Police Department, Internal Affairs Bureau (IAB), and a judge in
the State Supreme Court that Daily News extensively wrote was admonished by the
Commission on Judicial Conduct in 1999 and 2000 for improper conduct and then again
in 2007 by presiding on a case in an obvious conflict of interest (where the judge’s
attorney defending the 1999 and 2000 judicial conduct represented one of the sides in a
real estate case he presided over). Amazingly this judge still sits on the bench and has
become so embolden that he sued the Daily News for defamation, a lawsuit that he
subsequently lost December 6, 2012. This (corrupt) judge is now our judge in our real
estate case since March 2010 and even more disturbing is that a Department of
Buildings, Construction Division inspector stated September 21, 2011 to the Developer
in Hockenjos’ presence after speaking to his office (all recorded on audio tape) that the
Developer would get Hockenjos property in court while the Developer’s court papers
unlawfully restrain Hockenjos from using or protecting his property (in effect losing
their right of occupy, use and enjoy their own property) so serious are the Developer’s
claims, they have triggered actionable concern by Hockenjos’ Title Insurance Company.
How does the Department of Buildings know about all this stuff (and Hockenjos
being pre-set to lose their unequivocal, sovereign property)? This all looks like
another ugly round of corruption coming Hockenjos’ way but this time through a corrupt
Civil Supreme Court system and Hockenjos is deeply concerned. The fraud, conspiracy
and mobbing endured by Hockenjos and conducted by the City, court and others is
unprecedented and should have been corrected a long time ago with severe punishment
to the Developer who has and continues to be the only person with a motive to do all
of this to VICTIMIZE an innocent homeowner since 1997 (Hockenjos). The City has
in essence empowered Paumere through City officials and others to commit these
crimes. How is Hockenjos supposed to fight the corrupt Paumere, licensed designers,
City agencies and court system all at the same time? The resources being used against
Hockenjos are much more vast than Hockenjos’ limited resources; every agency has its
own administrative, technical, public relations and legal departments to bear on
Hockenjos; as it stands, it is nearly impossible for Hockenjos to protect their property.
Why has the City summoned so many valuable resources to put Hockenjos in this
position basically fighting for their life and being left practically left destitute?
100.
Presently, Hockenjos is on the verge of losing all of their basic human needs, their
safety/security continues to be attacked, their well-being is waning, their access to a job
opportunities due to severe damage to their reputation by the Developer and the police,
and health detriments, and other damages that continues to impoverish them to the point
of losing their ONLY home and shelter they have called home for the past 15 years.
Why were their productive lives taken away from them and completely destroyed
after this Developer and the Department of Buildings/NYPD became involved in
Hockenjos lives? Why doesn’t anyone investigate what is happening to us and others?
Why do the Hockenjos’ have to risk everything to stop the Department of
Buildings/NYPD from invading and damaging Hockenjos’ lives and property? Why are
the Hockenjos’ in the position of foreclosing on their house.. was this by design? Who
exactly is behind this unprovoked attacks that is so well organized that Hockenjos is now
39
in this position? Hockenjos is in immediate threat of further harm. Hockenjos has been
desperately seeking reasonable avenues for resolution and investigation from the
Department of Buildings, Department of Investigation, NYPD, King County District
Attorney, certain other public officials and commissioners and since 2009 while the City
has been on a campaign to silence, dismiss, discredit and damage Hockenjos’ reputation
while empowering the perpetuators to commit more misconduct/crimes so as to give a de
facto license to continue those crimes against Hockenjos and other innocent victims
throughout the City. Hockenjos has felt raped, assaulted and battered, and striped of all
dignity, then lynched and quite figuratively, “killed and left hanging in a tree” as an
example for all to see what happens when you challenge corruption and organized crime
within the City’s government that is designed specifically and effectively to disfranchise
people like Hockenjos and many other innocent citizens with consciously conceived
cover-ups and protection that follows by law enforcement. John and Irina Hockenjos
have been victims of “organized bullying”, misconduct and/or criminal acts by Paumere
and numerous public agencies, government officials, individuals and others whose
business is protecting individual and public special interests, rights and freedoms, as was
most sharply demonstrated by Hockenjos (both husband and wife) being falsely arrested
in their own driveway February 5, 2012 where Paumere had procured the NYPD to be
there and now over a year later Mr. Hockenjos loses his MTA wages, all other income
sources by deliberate interference of business relations (by the Developer), and cutting
off all other income for basic survival due in part to the unreasonable obligations to solve
the wide spread local corruption in the local government all placed on Hockenjos by the
City and the City’s response (instead of investigating) to Hockenjos’ dismay “is the
system works”! Is the definition of the system works, to terrify, menace and throw
simple homeowners out of the City and on the street? This is not City government
but organized mob rule (community mobbing) that intimidates homeowners and is an
embarrassment and completely unacceptable in a modern civilized society. Clearly, the
system does not work when homeowners who are the backbone of the community
become disenfranchised. Why are the Hockenjos’ being persecuted right out of their
own home and property while no one is being thoroughly and justly investigated, found
accountable, prosecuted or punished for their clear involvement in this methodical and
highly coordinated misconduct and criminal act of causing serious harm eventually
leading a homeowner being homeless? Why does it come to the Hockenjos family that
losing everything is the ONLY answer tailored for them when official misconduct and
criminality is openly nurtured and flourishes at some of the highest levels of
government? Hockenjos’ are victims eight million times over and no one has bothered
to open a comprehensive investigation to ask why? Why is there no call to action or
adequate investigation to punish those involved especially when the evidence is so
direct and overwhelming against known individuals and Department of Buildings?
Who is blocking such probes that point to conspiracy and criminality with the
Developer? Where do the Hockenjos’ turn when the local government itself is the
source of the corruption? The City of New York should not be in the business of
running ordinary citizens out of town. This is what happened in the Wild, Wild West of
the 1700 and 1800’s, why is it happening to the Hockenjos’ and others in this City in the
21st Century leaving them in 24/7 fear of what is about to happen next? Who ordered all
40
of this to target Hockenjos since 2009 and who is profiting from this and our eventual
demise?
101.
When Hockenjos looks at pictures of the extrajudicial executions and lynchings of
blacks and others or mobbed in the 1800-1900s on Wikipedia, the Hockenjos’ can
identify with the corruption and feelings of isolation, humiliation, loss of dignity,
personal attacks, fear, helplessness and horror of these victims who were singled out just
like us discrediting us and tending to discourage people from believing in the Hockenjos
while supporting the Department of Building’s ruse to wear down and ultimately destroy
Hockenjos as a lesson to never challenge agency corruption. The lack of dignity and
utter shame they (and us) must have felt prior in their demise to have been beaten-up so
badly and then hung from a tree, discarded unceremoniously and abandoned like a
inhumane trophy for all to see what happens when fight to defend yourself from targeted
corruption in society. Hockenjos has begun to lose all hope in the government to protect
its own citizens from an embedded corrupt “government system” and believes the
outcome for Hockenjos may be much the same as common lynchings almost 100 years
ago.
102.
Mr. Hockenjos’ safety and security remains a top priority and issue especially in
light of the fact the other police officer(s), Paumere involved in Hockenjos’ tragic false
arrest are still unpunished, and all gainfully and securely employed (unlike, Hockenjos).
Hockenjos just does not understand where the justice and the protection for his family
stands when all the things happening to them cannot possibly be a coincidence and
should be investigated by law enforcement officials at the many levels as these crimes
took place but are simply not. All of this could easily be conspiracy against Hockenjos’
Federal rights under Title 18 USC Sec. 241 (01/16/96). Now Hockenjos has to be in
fear that Paumere will be granted our property (and our only home) in the Supreme
Court given the judge’s history of being corrupt and Paumere uncanny knack of using
influence within the City’s corrupt “network” that results in surprising approvals in his
favor (under false pretenses) and based on clear fraud on more than one occasion. Now
the Paumere is eyeing Hockenjos home with the stakes having been raised by Paumere
being thwarted so many times and could easily lead to Hockenjos’ home ending up on
the chopping block offered in a fire sale since Hockenjos has no job to pay the
mortgages or even survive, or is simply awarded by this (corrupt) judge to settle a $ 1.5
Million fabricated claim by Paumere based on fraud upon the court and court papers
intended to pervert of the course of justice. All of this has been a systematic
destruction of a simple homeowner clearly being organized and directed by Paumere
who is the only one with the core motives to harm Hockenjos using a civil lawsuit as a
veil to again hide and distort the facts before a presiding judge with a history of
corruption while Hockenjos braces again for being crime victims, a pattern which only
seems to get lost by law enforcement officials. But Paumere civil lawsuit is not only
being used as a veil but also as protection from law enforcement taking action to
investigate his crimes that repeatedly victimize Hockenjos because everything is painted
like a neighborly dispute missed in all of this is that neighborly disputes do not result in:
(1) Four DOB approvals to violate City code and build upon Hockenjos real property,
(2) Unsafe construction by Paumere twice requiring the protection of the Federal
government due to DOB inaction, (3) A serious false DOB violation against Hockenjos
property rights procured by Paumere, (4) Unpunished by DOB “work without a
41
(building) permit”, (5) Unpunished by DOB “work in serious violation of a stop work”
(6) Unpunished by DOB an altered building “occupied without a valid certificate of
occupancy that includes almost all the work not complete or otherwise signed off (and
presents a public fire safety and human health hazard)”, (7) Unpunished by DOB a
knowingly made “false certification statement” by Paumere and his licensed designer
that was material to a favorable ECB decision, (8) Unpunished by the Supreme Court
“Two pending contempt motions to punish [Paumere” for violating (on multiple
occasions) court orders since 2010, (9) Unpunished by NYPD at least 13 criminal acts
and/or official misconducts against Hockenjos that include assaults, batterings,
vandalisms, street gang violence and threats, and criminal mischief (mostly captured on
video), and failures to investigate these crimes at Hockenjos’ home and protect
Hockenjos from crime, (10) Unpunished or not investigated threats or statements to
discredit and sabotage Hockenjos credibility and reputation by NYC officials from
DOB, DOI, NYPD, IAB, DEP, etc. (11) Unpunished or not investigated misconduct
and/or misappropriation of City time and equipment (by NYFD Engine 246 and other
fire companies), (12) Unpunished on at least two occasions circumstantial evidence of
suspected bribery by City inspectors at DOB and Sanitation Department (recorded on
video), (13) On at least one occasion a false DOB stamped approval permitting a
Directive 14 “self-certification” to sign-off the construction by the licensed designer (for
which Paumere is clearly not eligible by changing fire exits in the building), (13)
Unpunished and not investigated Paumere’s acts to interfere with Hockenjos’ business
relationships (tenants) to willfully and economically disenfranchise Hockenjos. (14)
Unpunished witness tampering by Elen Paumere, (15) Unpunished and unprovoked
internet defamation by Paumere on at least two occasions broadcast nationwide, (16)
Unpunished and not investigated but well documented starting on or before September
1, 2012 (Labor Day weekend), 24/7 radio signal interference that has noticeably
intensified starting on or about May 17, 2013 now drowning out 970 AM and other radio
stations (in direct violation of FCC protected public broadcasts (AM/FM) signals)
deliberately aimed and targeting Hockenjos residence with EMF and/or sound wave
signals adversely affecting Hockenjos well-being and health, and appliance electronic
(control) systems; computer systems such as automobile on-board - dash board control
systems; home and cell phone interference with notable incidences of ease dropping (of
unknown persons speaking) on private hard wired communications including persistent
dropped calls; Wi-Fi wireless communication interference and scrambling of the
wireless data signals within our home (leading to persistent Wi-Fi printing command
failures, duplicative and incomplete printing); gaps in DVR recorded security video or
complete failure of DVR recording security equipment (on at least two occasions, most
notably on February 5, 2012 - - Hockenjos’ false arrest) suggesting when DVR
equipment is not protected by a grounded EMF shielding curtain - - all of this is of
special concern since Hockenjos cannot be assured of reliable security video with a
tenacious remote tampering that interferes with the captured crimes committed against
Hockenjos. Further damage continues with failing appliance electronic (control)
systems and systematic illegal ease dropping that invades Hockenjos’ privacy, Supreme
Court orders based on Paumere fabricated statements, and false arrests and malicious
prosecutions bolstered in part on Paumere eyewitness accounts… when presented
together the only conclusion of law enforcement is Hockenjos are victims of
42
racketeering and conspiracy based on a pattern of crimes happening and the cover for
such crimes being labeled as “neighborly disputes” or “a civil matters” (how could
Hockenjos’ intentional (premeditated) felony arrest and prosecution in anyway resemble
a neighborly dispute or civil matter?) when in reality everything is a veiled, cut throat
criminal extortion meant to irreparably harm Hockenjos and draw attention away from
the City agencies providing the material support to commit these organized criminal
ventures that virtually assure Paumere will succeed every time; without the City’s great
support to Paumere none of these criminal acts would have been possible or result in
risk of Hockenjos losing their only home. All Hockenjos has tried to do is protect his
family and only home and real property from repeated attacks by Paumere engaged in
the racketeering and conspiracy with City agencies whose mission is to accomplish
Hockenjos’ demise and loss of their property. Where in the world does Hockenjos’ turn
after losing everything? At this rate Hockenjos’ family is well on their way to going
homeless out of no wrongdoing by Hockenjos themselves except a clear instinct for
them to protect themselves from a very well-financed organized racketeering and
conspiracy initiated by Paumeres and an overt pattern of targeted attacks against
Hockenjos fully supported by the City and the City’s tax dollars. This begs the question
why is the City so interested in illegal alien Argo Paumere and in the “criminal
business” of putting ordinary homeowners on the street, at the unjust benefit of Argo
Paumere leaving Hockenjos homeless and/or practically permanently injure
economically, physically and psychologically?
103.
Numerous times crimes happened when Elen, Argo Paumere were previously
filming inside Hockenjos’ car, standing with some man next to it and then car got
broken in 4 am in the morning. Paumeres told Hockenjos about accident and piece of
wood with nails in it hit Hockenjos’ car falling from the third floor where Paumere was.
Argo Paumere said to John Hockenjos’ watch out next morning and breaks on
Hockenjos car got cut very next morning. Paumeres coming with the gangs that are
threatening Hockenjos’ life’s. Paumeres stated that Hockenjos’ must look out for
Hockenjos health and will became blind, sterile and will get cancer and loud noise
similar to transformer or high voltage lines, interference with all electronic in
Hockenjos’ house happening for years. Hockenjos’ have severe health problem related
to electronic assault (known being used by Russian MOB) but it is impossible to
measure this electronic activity by Government Offices or privately. Private
investigators as the attorneys taking Hockenjos’ money and run.
104.
Banks for credit cards knowing that Hockenjos’ had perfect credit History and
disputed charges that had contracts but did not provided any services were disputed by
Hockenjos’ within 60 days as requited but all money were granted to attorneys ,
investigators who did not provide any services but just stated that they must make some
money for living. Hockenjos’ mortgage paid on time taxes and mortgage payment get
lost by Bank and with great resistance corrected “mistakes” that never happened to the
Hockenjos’ for 15 years of excellent payment and credit History. The way Hockenjos’
Title Company, Banks, Attorneys,Private Investigators, Judges , law enforcement acting
is unbelievable and never known to Citizens till severe corruption and organized crime
made Hockenjos’ a targets, political targets just for Hockenjos’ property, money be
extorted. Hockenjos’ never were politically involved opposing the Government and it is
amazing that simple homeowners life’s, home, life savings could be political criminal
43
favor of corrupted DOB Official. If Hockenjos’ would not be helped –only political
asylum from John Hockenjos’ birth country can save Hockenjos’ life because escape to
other states would obligate Hockenjos’ still come to Supreme Court for delivering to
Paumere Hockenjos’ property, money. No job even in different States would tolerate
several times a month traveling and spending days in Court, no attorney interesting to
portect Hockenjos’ interest for exchange huge amounts of money! For $150,000.00
Hockenjos’ could of have personal law firm working for the Hockenjos’ but it is not
about the money but about DOB obligation to Argo Paumere to deliver to him
Hockenjos’ real property, money for free against Hockenjos’ will. This severe crime,
corruption DOB Commissioner of NYC made his personal priority and using not only
his own Authority but his connections to political world, Courts to fulfill his personal
obligations to Paumere!
105.
ALL DOB APPROVALS WERE WITHDRAWN/REVOKED 4 SEPARATE
TIMES BASED ON HOMEOWNER’S OBJECTIONS. Building does not comply with
numerous zoning codes including floor area ratio, major work was still advanced under
stop work order and expired permits, building remains unfinished without completed
building systems (presenting a fire safety, public health and hygiene risk) that on June 2,
2011 Paumere moved in and occupied a building not complete or signed-off. Paumere
then used a false statement to avoid punishment in ECB court for occupying a building
without a Certificate of Occupancy. Clearly, this building is unsafe, major building
systems are unfinished leaving the building a hazard for the occupants and the public.
Paumere has made no attempts to correct the many Zoning violations. The hazards and
DOB inspector misconduct has been given to both Department of Buildings and
Department of Investigation December 10, 2012 was given all 9 packages of proof that
Paumere lied in written certification that was used to illegally occupy the building.
BUILDING CONTINUES TO BE UNSAFE, UNFINISHED AND UNLAWFULLY
OCCUPIED WITH SIGNIFICANT VIOLATIONS OF ZONING CODE AND NO
REQUIRED BUILDING CODE SIGN-OFFS ON NUMEROUS MAJOR BUILDING
SYSTEMS ON A (TYPE 1) ALTERATION.
106.
March 26, 2010 DOB approves Paumere plan that “takes” Hockenjos’ property
(just as promised by Paumere), omits easements, and adds fire exit, landscape planter
and door swing encroachments onto and over Hockenjos’ property rendering Hockenjos’
driveway useless and reducing it to nothing more than an narrow alley.
107.
On March 27, 2010 Hockenjos files with the Civil Supreme Court an application
for a declaratory judgment and injunction to prevent Paumers overt intentions to take
Hockenjos’ property while protecting Hockenjos’ property from further harm. The
emergency injunction fails on a technicality.
108.
On April 12, 2012 numerous and significant “as-built” and approved plan zoning
code violations are uncovered by administrative appeal by Hockenjos. This approved
plan omits the door swing easement over Hockenjos’ property and the planned swing
encroaches over Hockenjos’ property. Stop work order is issued October 15, 2011.
109.
DEP Notice of Violation and fine of $ 10,000 twice
110.
DEP Haz Mat warnings “we will make your life very difficult”
44
111.
the Hockenjoss of Department of Buildings approvals to build that way to destroy
and take their property. are also simple homeowners that have an illegal commercial
garage owner who now claims toies’ avoid property right with Paumere can be tricks
that are played wrong and sends a message to the vast majority of homeowners who
adjacent to major developments to run and sell your property before major hardships
start. That says we do not need homeowners of moderate means protect their property
112.
Hockenjos is on the verge of losing all of their basic human needs, their
safety/security at home continues to be attacked, their well-being is waning, their access
to a job opportunities are few due to serious damage to their reputation and health
detriments, and other damage that continues to impoverish them to the point of losing
their ONLY home and shelter they have called home for the past 15 years. Why was
their productive lives destroyed after this Developer and the Department of Buildings
became invaded their lives. Sadly, we know others in similar dire straits. Why does no
one investigate the vast depth of what is happening to us and others. Why do the
Hockenjos have to risk everything to stop the Department of Building officials
conspiring with the Developer from invading and destroying the lives of everyday New
York City citizens? Hockenjos has been in immediate threat since June 2009 while it is
Hockenjos that has been desperately seeking reasonable avenues for resolution and
investigation from the Department of Buildings, Department of Investigation, NYPD,
King County District Attorney, certain other public officials and commissioners and for
almost 4-years the City has been on a campaign to silence, dismiss, discredit and
damage Hockenjos’ reputation while empowering the perpetuators into
misconduct/crimes so as to give a free license to continue those crimes against the
Hockenjos and other victims throughout the City. Hockenjos has felt raped, assaulted
and battered, and striped of all dignity, then lynched and quite figuratively, “killed to be
left hanging in a tree” for all to see what happens when you challenge corruption in the
government that is designed specifically and effectively to disfranchise the Hockenjos
and other innocent victims. John and Irina Hockenjos have been victims of mass
“bullying”, misconduct and/or criminal acts by numerous public agencies, government
officials, individuals and others in the business of protecting individual and public
interests and freedoms, as was most sharply demonstrated by Hockenjos (both husband
and wife) being falsely arrested in their own driveway February 5, 2012 where the
Developer had procured the NYPD to be there and now a year later Mr. Hockenjos
losing his MTA wages and income to survive due to the unreasonable obligations to
address government corruption placed on them. This is not a City government but mob
rule that is an embarrassment and completely unacceptable in a modern civilized
society. Why are the Hockenjos’ being persecuted right out of their own home and
property while no one is being thoroughly and justly investigated, prosecuted or
punished for their clear involvement in misconduct and wrongful acts? Why does this
come to the Hockenjos family losing everything they ever had because of official
misconduct and criminality that is nurtured and allowed at some of the highest levels of
government? Hockenjos’ are victims one million times over and one has bothered to
open an comprehensive investigation to ask why? Why is there no adequate
investigation and punishment especially when the evidence is so direct and
overwhelming against known individuals? Where do the Hockenjos turn when the
government itself is major source of the corruption/problem? The City of New York
45
should not be in the business of running ordinary citizens out of town? This is what
happened in the Wild, Wild West, why is it freely happening to the Hockenjos’ in this
day and age.
113.
When the Hockenjos’ look at pictures of the extrajudicial executions and the
lynching of blacks or mass mobbing on wikipedia, the Hockenjos’ can identify with the
loneliness, fear, helplessness and horror of the victims. The lack dignity and utter shame
they must have felt prior to their death to have been beaten so badly and then hung from
a tree just like a trophy. Hockenjos has begun to lose all hope and believes the outcome
for them may be much the same.
