SLUM LORD OR POLITICAL PAYOFF : Update

USince our last email to the village mayor we have not heard 1 peep from his office.

I am the creator of this blog and I have taken a personal intrest for 2 reasons, 1. I support our military and our vets and 2 because I have a Disabled family member and take it personal.

Please see for yourself in the pictures and leave comments.

We have reason to believe that a Marine Vet lives at 832 W. 79th street. This apartment building was built in 1982.
We believe that it is violation of NFPA  ( National Fire Protection Act ) we also believe it is out of code and that the sprinkler system or suppression system doesn't work. There is 1 hot water tank for the whole building. We also notice the entrances are not in compliance with the American Disabilities Act of 1991.

The wheelchair belongs to a 11 year old girl that lives in the building. When the tenants ask to repair things he says not his problem. The owner is Mark Kardalewski.

A PICTURE SAYS A THOUSAND WORDS

SLUM LORD OR POLITICAL PAYOFF IN JUSTICE: Update

So we heard back from the Mayor's office and this is what he had to say.

Hello

This is the first time that you send me the e-mail. I still don’t understand what the problem is. What are the requests . I am not aware of any issues. Please enlighten me and be specific of what is the nature of problem.And in fact neither you or anyone else reached to me or the office staff.

 

Krzysztof Wasowicz

Mayor, Village of Justice

Funny since this was the 2nd email we sent. We also heard from Christine Radogno's office.

Hi John:

Senator Radogno is out of the office - but I encourage you to reach out to the legislators that represent the area in Justice that this residence falls into.  As this is federal legislation that is being violated, perhaps you should start with Congressman Lipinski's office.  I did forward your message to Rep Zalewski's office, and they share office space with Sen Landek - so they have a heads up already.

Congressman Dan Lipinski / Oak Lawn
708-424-0853

Senator Steve Landek / Burbank
708-430-2510

Representative Mike Zalewski / Riverside
repzalewski@gmail.com
708-442-6500

Sincerely,

Eileen Minahan
District Director
Office of Christine Radogno
State Senator, 41st District
Illinois Senate Republican Leader

Funny part is we called Lipinski's office left a voice mail and got no response so we will try again

SLUM LORD OR POLITICAL PAYOFF IN JUSTICE, ILLINOIS

We are investigating 8317 West 79th Street in Justice Illinois. The owner of the building is Mark Kardalewski.  Mr. Kardalewski has a Disabled Veteran and a child with spinalbifida living at this building address.  We have been informed by the tenants that they have seen him pay off the building inspector. We also were informed they have complained about the snow not being plowed or the salt on the ground or mice not being trapped.

Upon our investigation we noticed the entry ways are at 32 inches with the door opened at 90 degrees. Which brings this building out of code. We also noticed the kitchen area is small and out of code. We even noticed the counters and the bathroom is not up to code.

We spoke with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development they had informed us that under the fair housing act 42 U.S.C. 3604 March 13,1991 [ revised ] clearly states that the entry doors need to be 36 inches with the door opened at 90 degrees, the kitchen needs to have 30 inches x 48 inches clear space clear floor space with a minimum of 40 inches in between opposing cabinets and that the bathroom 30 inches x 48 inches of floor space out side a swinging door as it closes.

So in short this building is not up to the American Disabilities Act nor is it in compliance with the Fair Housing Act of 1991.  We will bring you updates as this story developes.

Uber update

As of January 17, 2016 Uber's support person Victoria has been helpful. However just like drivers who have interviewed with us, it is apparent that Uber just don't give a shit except themselves.

In a unrelated issue several drivers are planing to organize a strike and start a union. Driver's are up set that Uber doesn't listen to who they call a partner. We can see why as we don't work for Uber and we are treated the same way.

Facts we have found out and Uber refuses to acknowledge.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel gets kick backs from his brother who is a supporter of Uber.

Uber drivers filed a federal class action lawsuit against Uber for not allowing tipping and unfair wages.

Uber lost Seattle, Washington to Drivers forming a union.

Uber allows 3rd party riders not even the person who gets in your car that hailed you then they destroy your vehicle and Uber looks the other way

Uber's 3rd party rider gives 1 to 3 stars on purpose

Uber allows passengers to use the platform with infants and doesn't allow them to bring a car seat and allows the passenger to give you a bad comment because they failed to comply with state laws.

Uber violates the 2nd Amendment

Uber in general has a poor rating with its drivers

Uber update :

We sent the following to Uber's media affairs.

Wondering why Uber is giving a driver the run around regarding a crash on January 1, 2016. Uber has a legal policy in play and doesn't uphold it. We also spoke to other drivers who have informed us they can't talk about settlements because of some confidential agreement.
Are you aware this violates the 1st Amendment as well as the whistle blowers act as well as violates a federal mandate to transparency.

What is Uber gaining by shutting up their drivers. Are you not in enough hot water. If we asked the City of Chicago's mayor where his brother is a financial backer of Uber with all the scrutiny going on I am sure he would love for us to investigate weather or not he to is getting kick backs.

Your no guns policy in these cars that Uber doesn't own violates the 2nd Amendment and the NRA is looking in to the company as it can't do that. If you don't believe me see Holt V. Wal-Mart Supreme Court ruled 4-1 that employees have the right to protect them selves as much as the customer.

So we are asking why is Uber not being responsible to pay for damages caused by the passenger?

Why is Uber making drivers sign confidentially agreements before checks are issued?

Why is Uber violating constitutional rights?

Is Uber giving kick backs to Rahm Emanuel and his brother?

Is Uber aware that Seattle formed a union and other drivers may follow too?

Does Uber know that 60% of its passengers have attacked their drivers and caused damage and Uber has not settled or has and now those drivers can't talk to us?

Did you know that when one of your drivers vehicles was damaged that another driver was attacked and needed medical attention?

Did Uber know that 20% of their passengers hail an Uber for a boyfriend or relative?

Did Uber know that 5% of your passengers hail an Uber with a small child and get in without a child safety seat which the driver and passenger both violate state seat belt laws?

Before contacting you we hailed an Uber and went on a ride with him today 1-13-16. 2 of his fares was for a female and a male got in to the car. We also noticed that your maps application puts drop offs and pick ups in the alley. We also witnessed the driver inform athe passengers who were not the person say they were and since your drivers aren't police they can not legally ask for ID.

We also went on a lyft with a driver and I must say the driver sees the person's face along with contact information once hailed. We didn't see that with Uber.

Your driver refused the passenger and even called police. It took Chicago police 45 minutes to respond and the guy left on his own as we watched him get in to another Uber who took him.

So why is Uber not enforcing the policy with it's passengers?

Waiting for Uber

We sent out a serious of questions to Uber Support, Uber Support Chicago, and Ben from Uber. We are waiting for those questions to be answered.

We launched the investigation because of a reader by the name Philip De Luca.  He raised questions as to why Uber won't pay the $1,000.00 deductible that their passenger caused to his vehicle. They only offered him $750.00 leaving him to cover the rest. This may go to court if Uber refuses to answer or pay the deductible.

We also found out and are reaching out to Rahm Emanuel as he or a family member is a Uber backer which means Uber might be giving the City of Chicago kick backs and could be why riders are losing 20% of their fares.

Check back as this is on going.
