SIGTARP and HUD need to stop the unchecked corruption at the Cuyahoga County Land Bank - the Treasury department is already aware that the set up is ripe for fraud and corruption. This land deal is the epitome of unchecked misuse of public funds.
Please provide the details of the proposed YMCA 3881 West 25th St. Rezoning Proposal and Timeline. Not everyone can make tonight's meeting at Southwest Citizens and just a handful of compliant people do not give you the right to push Jeff Ramsey's CDC kickback scheme to exploit OHFA and HUD monies in our neighborhood over real economic development.
The rezoning for the area around the old YMCA will be presented to the Southwest Citizens meeting tomorrow night, October 6 at 7 pm at Gino's Cento Anno, 1314 Denison, Cleveland.
The Cleveland Planning Commission hearing about the rezoning is Friday, Oct. 7, followed by the
Oct. 19 City Council Committee meeting for Development, Planning and Sustainability Committee. Second reading of the rezoning is scheduled for Oct. 24 and final reading of legislation is Nov. 7.
RE: YMCA property at 3881 West 25th St:
I have several unanswered emails to Brian Cummins - ironically, he wants to pretend that he is transparent and a proponent of open govt. Not so - BTW - I archived this information:http://realneo.us/system/files/images/te...
Detroit Shoreway made close to a million dollars on the Templin low-income tax credit project. So, do the math on the PSH project and what they expect to get in return.
Also - I sent this to Dane Reich : at 30.08 secs into this Ideastream interview - Akram Boutros admits he has fielded a request for a hotel and grocery store in the Metrohealth service area. Obviously, he did not follow the Ramsey-Cummins script because these two said there has been absolutely NO interest in a hotel or grocery store on W. 25th. So, who is lying??http://wcpn.ideastream.org/programs/soun... I don't think the good doctor is lying - but he probably knows that WRLC that has former Old Brooklyn councilman Jim Rokakis on their special West 25th Corridor Thriving Communities payroll to the tune of $129K salary -and Rokakis is also pushing development on the Henninger property (former dump south of Big Creek) owned by ...you guessed it WRLC - and guess who is on the board of WRLC and Metrohealth!! Mitch Schneider.
I am requesting an excel file listing of every property parcel sold in the recent October 2016 tax lien sale through Cuyahoga County.
I am also calling to your attention the selective prosecution of a property adjacent to the planned CHN-Eden land deal brokered through the Land Bank, CDC and Cleveland City Council reps - at 3873 and 3881 Pearl/West 25th. A person by the name of Lloyd Glover owns a number of properties along Selzer Ave and also some tax delinquent in other parts of Cuyahoga County. County Prosecutor Tim McGinty selectively prosecuted the Selzer property adjacent to the proposed CHN-Eden Permanent Supportive Housing BR 011406—Treasurer of Cuyahoga County, Ohio vs. Lloyd Glover, a.k.a. etc., et al. - but has not prosecuted the Land Bank demolition contractor Ginmark aka Mark Brookins for the tax lien at 3804 West 25th St. - now with over 40k in back taxes owed.
For information regarding a tax certificate sold in October 2016, please call TAX EASE OHIO, LLC at: 1-866-907-2626. Customer Service representatives are available
Monday – Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. EST. If your parcel was subject to the 2016 tax certificate sale, you may mail payments to Tax Ease Ohio, LLC at the following address:

Demolition Fund now open for applications
from Cuyahoga County communities
1/5/2015 2:00:00 PM The Department of Development is now accepting applications from all Cuyahoga County cities, villages, and townships for up to $1 million to demolish vacant, abandoned, blighted or nuisance structures. Under the program guidelines set by County Council, each community seeking funding is asked to identify one or more target areas with a demonstrable need for demolition, identify a plan to redevelop the vacant land resulting from demolitions, and show that its proposed demolitions will improve housing quality or strengthen its housing market. Isolated vacant properties with significant demolition needs can also be considered on a “spot” basis.
Communities may choose to manage their own demolitions, or make arrangements for the County Land Bank to manage some or all of their funded demolitions. For more information and application forms, communities may email demofund [at] cuyahogacounty [dot] us or call Paul Herdeg, Development Administrator, at (216) 443-7257.
DSCDO has structured no-compete option to transfer 3881 West 25th (with 118K of back taxes wited out) to Cleveland Housing Network. How does CHN operate? :
