It's a situation that now has Seidowsky and Baker waiting for a Cuyahoga County court to decide if their homes, and

dozens of other lease-to-own houses, will be put up for auction on Feb. 10 to make up for city losses due to financial

mismanagement.

 

Both of these women signed lease to purchase agreements and did not pay for their homes after 15 years.  Cleveland New Homes is their landlord. Why are they not just evicted?  Is it because of the money they paid towards equity?

This story has nothing to do with Buckeye Shaker Square and everything to do with Cleveland Housing Network and Famicos.  Both properties in the WEWS story along with 42 others are "owned" by Cleveland New Homes LP which is apparently like NOAH set up by CHN - an LLC for new construction or rehab to market as lease to own.  Cleveland New Homes registered with state under John Anoliefo https://famicos.org/people/john-o-anoliefo. 

My question is why does Cleveland New Homes get to skip on paying the taxes ??  They apparently pay on some of their "rentals."

 

 

Salita Baker 10510 Manor Ave, Cleveland, 44104  > unpaid taxes
$5,124.71

Christine D Seidowsky 2455 W 7th St, Cleveland, 44113 Ohio> unpaid taxes

$7,241.93

 

WHO is selling these homes at auction

Submitted by mabeldog on Sat, 01/06/2024 - 15:03.

So 44 homes that no one aka as no "non profit" appears to own are going up for auction. Have the property taxes been paid on the other 42? Who exactly is in charge of the sales? Who will get the money when they are bought by a developer friend of Justine's. Why aren't they in tax foreclosure? Why is house in Tremont on the Buckeye list? So MANY unanswered questions. It all starts with CHN Crime Partners

Eric J. Brewer: Neighborhood Progress Inc’s closed meetings and non-public records makes the non-profit ineligible to receive or spend federal funds.  Instead of giving them more money council should ask State Auditor David Yost for a special Community Development department compliance audit with an emphasis on what they’ve been calling CDC’s.  He should identify every “Finding” that must be “Recovered.”  The “Findings” must be reported to both the county and federal prosecutors.
