    cates from the Urban Home-steading Assistance BoardUHAB) and the Northwest

    Bron Community and ClergyCoalition (NWBCCC) to an-nounce a new legal strategyhat could serve as a valuable

    weapon for tenants living in

    distressed apartment build-ngs that are going throughforeclosure.

    A motion led by LS-NYCBron, on behalf of tenantsiving in a portfolio of ten dis-ressed apartment buildings,

    argues that once a foreclo-sure action is initiated, anda court-appointed receiver isn place, the mortgage holdercan be held liable for main-aining building conditions.

    Conditions in the buildings havegone from bad to horrible-- the542 apartments in the Milbank

    portfolio have more than 4,700outstanding code violations.

    About 30 tenants were joined by attorneys from theUrban Justice Center and the Northwest Bron Com-munity and Clergy Coalition to announce a lawsuitagainst the landlord of 2710 Bainbridge Avenue.

    Residents in the Fordham building said the landlordignored numerous requests for major repairs.

    At a protest outside of their building today, the resi-

    dents said that the landlord has refused to x crum-bling walls, moldy tiles, clogged drains and crackedwindows.

    A fth-oor tenant said one of his windows was bro-ken by someone coming down the re escape, andremained unxed a year-and-a-half later. Other ten-ants said they have resorted to replacing the windowswith plywood to keep out the cold.They said the lack ofrepairs has put their lives at risk.

    All of our outlets dont work. You hear rats ghting inthe wall. You can hear them, said tenant Peggy Var-gas. I mean, I run out of the apartment sometimes Im

    so scared. The doors are not locked. I come in lateand I dont know whos going to hit me. I pay $1,150in rent.

    The Department of Housing Preservation and Devel-opment said the landlord has about 200 serious viola-tions led against him, worth about $350,000 in penal-ties.

    We found ourselves today not able to wait any longer,said Bronx Assemblyman Jose Rivera, who joined the

    tenants at the protest.Weve been working with organizers from the North-west Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition to takeon Frank Palazzolo, who is one of the worst landlordsthat New York City has ever seen, said Urban Jus-tice Centers Garrett Wright. This morning we fled alawsuit in Bronx Housing Court, seeking to have thecourt appoint an independent administrator take overthe property here and start making the repairs that arebadly needed here.

    Rea F Arce: http://www.ny1.com/6-bron-news-con-tent/116209/tenants-in-the-bron-announce-lawsuit-against-landlord

    The case concerns ten distressed apartment build-ings housing more than 500 families. The portfolio hasbeen in a steady state of decline since its owner, a

    private equity rm known as Milbank Real Estate, de-faulted on its $35 million mortgage.

    In March of 2009, the mortgage holder, a $3 billioncommercial mortgage-backed security trust controlledby Wells Fargo and serviced by LNR Partners, Inc.,initiated foreclosure proceedings. The foreclosure

    judge appointed a receiver who is charged with col-lecting rents and managing the properties, but due tothe high number of vacancies in the buildings, alongwith the already severely distressed conditions in mostof the units, the income from rent collection is not ad-equate to properly maintain the portfolio.

    The tenants have endured horrible living conditionssince Milbank over-leveraged their buildings. Waterleaks, hazardous molds, cracked and peeling leadpaint, collapsing ceilings, broken locks on entrancedoors, useless intercoms, rat and roach infestations,busted boilers, and electrical res are commonplacethroughout the portfolio.

    Milbank Real Estate purchased the rent stabilizedproperties in 2007 during the height of the real-estatebubble. Advocates questioned the nancial sustain-

    ability of the $35 million mortgage debt, and placedthe portfolio on their watch list of potentially troubledbuildings.

    These tenants deserve better-- they pay their rentwork hard, and are suffering because of irresponsiblelending practices by Wells Fargo, and irresponsiblemanagement by their previous landlord, said TeresaAnderson, NWBCCC President. Wells Fargo and oth-er irresponsible banks and landlords will soon learnthat when you mess with one tenant in the Bron, youmess with all of us.

    LS-NYC Bron attorneys hope that this legal strategy

    will force Wells Fargo and their agent, LNR PartnersInc., to invest enough of their considerable resourcesinto the portfolio to bring conditions back up to accept-able levels. The Milbank tenants have suffered theconsequences of Wall Streets reckless lending prac-tices for too long, said Jonathan Levy, Deputy Direc-tor of the LS-NYC Bronx Housing Unit. The lendersmust be held accountable for the costs of repairing thedamage.

Applications proposing research should eplain how theproposed project will ll a critical gap in the elds knowledge and practice as well as identifying policy implications relatedto criminal justice.

    Between 1970 and 2000, the home foreclosure rate in the United States did not rise above 1.1 percent. Between 2001and 2006, the foreclosure rate increased to as high as 20 percent. This abrupt shift in the 30-year pattern of foreclosuresled researchers and policymakers alike to question the effects of this issue on urban problems, including crime. This solici-tation seeks research proposals to eamine the links between foreclosures, vacant properties, and crime.

    woRkShoPS:

    Monday, May 17, 2010H0260 - Counseling Borrowers to Purchase Real Estate Owned (REO) Properties

    In todays real estate market borrowers who are interested in purchasing a home will likelyconsider the growing inventory of Real Estate Owned (REO) property. These propertiesmay offer attractive pricing, but also present hidden challenges and pitfalls to potential buy-ers. Homeownership counselors, providing comprehensive individual counseling, can equipclients with timely information to make informed decisions and protect their future asset.Participants attending this course will learn:Who is selling these properties (from nonprots, municipalities, banks, etc.); How to assistyour client through careful analysis of the sales contract; How to engage home inspectorsand avoid the pitfalls of purchasing as is properties; How to determine if special nancingmay be available for clients purchasing REO properties.; What are the counseling program

    details of HUDs Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), and how to determine if thisprogram can help meet the needs of your clients.

    Tuesday, May 28, 2010H0104 - Understanding Credit ScoringMost lenders utilize credit scoring as a tool to help evaluate the credit risk of borrowers. Thisis certainly the case with many mortgage lenders. Credit scores aid lenders in predicting howcreditworthy a borrower is or how likely they are to repay the debt. Many lenders also incor-porate risk based pricing into their credit decisions based upon the credit score. With thisknowledge, homeownership educators and counselors are better prepared to help clientsimprove their credit scores and positively impact their nancial status.

    Wednesday Friday, May 19 21, 2010H0108 Loan Servicing and CollectionsThis course will review the policies, procedures and accounting systems that nonprot lend-ers and servicers must use to maintain their mortgage loan portfolios and prevent losses.You will eamine effective documentation systems and learn practical techniques for con-trolling risks and avoiding default and foreclosure. Conventional and FHA default and lossmitigation processes will be eamined and discussed. Case studies are utilized throughinteractive eercises as a learning tool. Recommended for staff, management and boardmembers concerned with improving servicing and collections operations.
