Feeling just blah.. How's your Mom and Dad? My Mom had a episode of blindness last week. I don't think she has long. Met with Glen Brownell today. Five or six weeks ago he said I made some good points, of filing a lawsuit in Federal court, to give him a week. Today he still didn't give me a answer. Only to say that next week he is going to send me a detailed letter on possible steps. That I should call him next week by Thursday if I didn't hear from him or receive the letter. Once I receive the letter, that I should review it, make notes, and then make a appointment with him. I have gotten him to confirm what I believe to be relevant past happenings of Glen's past mishandling, along with the courts. That the local city government singled me along with my family out with their wrongdoings towards me to help them acquire any Barrett street and Seminary street properties that were in my Mom's name, Uncle's name, Son's name, and also my name. That along with my Mom's rights, Son's rights. That my rights were also violated in more then one instance. So I will wait for the letter. Something in writing to confirm should? Be better. Then I will proceed with other steps of including Glen of being ineffective council. Not keeping proper records, (power of attorney). Along with what he has stated to me of clearly remembering along with the Courts and Glen's statements made in court transcripts. In which also conflicts with my Mom's competency hearing in which Glen made no mention of the Power of Attorney from Mom to me at the hearing. In which even Glen had his secretary search for the POA that his office had produced for my Uncle's Barrett St. Abandonment trial. In which again Glen had his secretary extensively search for the POA for Mom's competency hearing because he felt it could be relevant. Then Even after my Mom's court appointed attorney made written request of any POA's. Again in which Glen should have had a copy of with in that time frame. Along with Glen confirmed to me that he clearly remembers filing for a Appeal with the Eminent Domain , for which we never got a appeal date that I have repeatedly questioned Glen about, in which Glen would tell me he is looking into it. What makes this All the more distressing is not only has Glen been a Attorney representing my family and I. That he has also been a witness to the wrongdoings and the threats from the City of Schenectady government and along with the city's hired attorneys and the Courts.
How are You?

Previously, Nov. 11, 2016 Met with Glen Brownell today. Five or six weeks ago he said I made some good points, of filing a lawsuit in Federal court, to give him a week. Today he still didn't give me a answer. Only to say that next week he is going to send me a detailed letter on possible steps. That I should call him next week by Thursday if I didn't hear from him or receive the letter.
So it is now Dec. 5, 2016 I still haven't received a letter from Glen that he stated so confidently that I would receive the detailed letter on possible steps for filing a lawsuit in Federal court against the City of Schenectady for the continuous wrongdoings the city has done against my family and I.
What I find so ironic is not that this is much bigger then I. Yes, it started with, Do I have anything to do with the properties on Barrett street. Do I want to sell? Then We will just go through the city and make you sell! Much has happened since the initial threat. What also is ironic, this is not a black or white thing. This was purely to remove low income housing/tenants out of this immediate area. Why? Enrollment, With the fear that the well to do parents did not feel it was safe to send their kids to such a high tuition college within walking travel distance between the college and downtown with in a couple blocks from the college. The surprising part to me, was not that I am but a spec in comparison to this college or the city. It was the control they have over the legal system,(the courts and the lawyers,) the local government, along with Constitutional rights. Even with the newspaper story on this stating from the city attorney confirming that someone from the city called the president of the out of state tax lien company and ordered my tax payment sent back. (With the city attorney stating, he did not know who made that call.) Please! More Lies! And Who had the Authority to make that call? Again, this was All done out of the fear that I would ask for too much to sell the properties on Barrett st. and Seminary place. Can you imagine if any went to the well to do and did such actions? Not only from the beginning of the wrongdoings with my Uncle's property on Barrett street. To the more recent wrongful foreclosures by the city on two more properties on Barrett street that my son and I had bought at auction and even showed the papers to the city attorney to prove. With my attorney stating to me that the city should of been aware that the properties were auctioned and sold. Along with as recent as last week, Nov.28, 2016. My ex wifes and my name were in the newspaper this last Monday for property taxes on Strong street for a building the city foreclosed on several years ago. There were a few names along with tax id numbers. It said the property owners have until early next year to redeem the properties by paying the 2014/2015 taxes. So either the city didn't properly foreclose long ago. Or the city just doesn't have a clue what they are doing. To conclude, if anybody has advice to possible steps I can take from here? Please post a comment on this thread, or email me at leggs9966@hotmail.com

One would think that in the Good name of the college. That the college would want this cleared up. Not covered up! Of course unless there was some kind of participation involving the college?
Could the power of the local government, the courts, spread/rise to the level of One being denied proper representation by any attorney? That no attorney would dare touch this? Not because lack of proof, paperwork and witnesses. But because of All the power from the parties together involved?!
What happened to Stand up against bullying??
My family always had a great respect for the college. My Uncle that used to have a restaurant on Barrett street, used to speak very fondly of the college patrons. That, in part was why I invested so much on that street. I did a complete gut out rehab on a 4 unit and also a 3 unit on Barrett street. Plus the 10 other apartments that I invested in on Barrett. I had most of my buildings on Barrett looking good, well maintained, with good tenants. Then came the threat, after Luigi's restaurant closed down. "Sell Us the land next to Luigi's or We will make you sell!"
I am still waiting for a letter from my local attorney (Glen) stating my specific options for filing a notice of claim in Federal court. Why I couldn't be told in person with my last appointment with him several weeks ago? With him then telling me that I made some very good points along with the proof/paperwork . Again, I don't know why I couldn't be told in person my options for filing, with me taking notes? At the same time I welcome actually having something in writing from him. I have checked in with him weekly, only to be told and also even having an appointment one after another being made for the following week to where I could pick up the letter. Only to get a phone call, a couple of hours before on the day of the appointments that he would not be available to keep the appointment for me to pick the letter. Nor was the letter ready. With at this point, appointments being made by his office and him with the reason of an appointment being made for the sole purpose of picking up this letter if not mailed to me before the appointment. In which again after I receive this letter. I am supposed to review it, make notes, and then.... Make an appointment.
Again, yes, I am just a spec. But yes, Mom, Dad, Brother and Uncle. Thank You! For All I Learned from You All! I may have lost. But I Now fully understand the meaning , Give me Liberty! or give me death.
Could the power of the local government, the courts, spread/rise to the level of One being denied proper representation by any attorney? That no attorney would dare touch this? Not because lack of proof, paperwork and witnesses. But because of All the power from the parties together involved?!
And that is why folks hire attorneys OUT OF THE AREA when dealing with Schenectady. Folks get attorneys from down state in these cases. Still a roll of the dice....but your odds are higher.

City sells parcels for new housing Parcel sales for 2016 were the most ever by city government Stephen Williams | December 29, 2016
A vancant lot along Barrett street where new homes will be built Photographer: Daily Gazette file photo Editors note: This story was corrected at 5:06 p.m. on Dec. 29. An earlier version incorrectly stated when the tax impact was recorded for the 2016 property sales. The city has sold a group of vacant lots close to downtown to an investment group as part of a plan to build townhouses on the land.
The construction planned for the Barrett Street parcels will be the first project for the Live In Schenectady program, under which local investors have agreed to spend $1.5 million to construct new housing on vacant properties in the city.
“We’ll begin construction in the spring,” said David Buicko, chief operating officer of The Galesi Group and a leader of Live In Schenectady, which bought the properties last week for $152,516. Officials said the purchase price was the appraised value of the parcels.
Three more property purchases that haven’t yet closed will bring the city’s proceeds to $200,000 from the sales.
“To have a partnership like this between public and private investors to expand home ownership, I think it’s very exciting,” Buicko said.
The city acquired the properties because of unpaid taxes over a number of years. They are in what was once part of nearby Little Italy, until that neighborhood fell on hard times, said Mayor Gary McCarthy. Most of the properties are vacant or uninhabitable and off the tax rolls; the project will return them to the tax rolls.
“It will be a major investment building off the turnaround we have seen downtown,” McCarthy said.
Buicko said there are plans for construction of 10 two- three- or four-unit condominium townhouses, though the site has room for more in the future. The townhouse units are to be owner-occupied. Buicko said the homes’ prices will be reasonable, though he would not give a price range.
“What we want to do is price them moderately, so that new homeowners or young families can come in and invest at a price that’s reasonable,” Buicko said.
The location is key: Barrett Street is within a couple blocks of downtown, the lower Union Street commercial district and Union College. Buicko said the new homes will also be within walking distance of the Price Chopper headquarters, Ellis Hospital and Mohawk Harbor, where the Rivers Casino is being built.
“People are looking to have places they can walk to,” Buicko said.
He and McCarthy said they hope the Live In Schenectady partnership on Barrett Street will become a model for other parts of the city and in other cities.
Live In Schenectady was announced in October 2015, with the goal of increasing home ownership.
Investors include Jim Connolly, former CEO of Ellis Medicine; HighBridge Development; Neil and Jane Golub; the Galesi Group; Antonio Civitella, president and CEO of Transfinder; NBT Bank; BBL Construction; Re4orm Architecture; Precision Industrial Maintenance; Schenectady Hardware and Electric; The Daily Gazette; Capital Region Gaming; Northeastern Fine Jewelry; Jackson Demolition and Union College.
“It’s a lot of business leaders in the community looking to invest in the community,” said Ray Gillen, chairman of Schenectady Metroplex, which has also been involved in the plans.
McCarthy said the city closed last week on 17 back-tax sales, most of them for the Barrett Street project.
In total, the city sold 106 lots in 2016 for $1.7 million, revenue that city officials said helped reduce property taxes about 0.5 percent in 2016.
McCarthy said he believes 2016 saw the most properties the city has ever sold in one year.
The city’s Industrial Development Agency, meanwhile, sold a 2.55-acre lot it owned on Duane Avenue to a real estate company linked to the neighboring SuperPower plant.
The IDA sold 451-453 Duane Ave. to BNH Properties LLC for $172,000. BNH is affiliated with the company that owns the building across the street that is leased by SuperPower. That firm makes high-temperature superconducting electrical wire and other electrical superconducting technology.
Gillen, whose agency operates the city IDA, said income from that sale will go back into economic development projects.
The land was acquired before Gillen’s tenure at the IDA, and he couldn’t say why it was bought by the IDA.
“Our goal is to get the IDA out of the property business and invest money back in economic development,” he said.

Schenectady eyes settlement with American Tax Funding Settlement of tax lien case would cost city $1.7M over three years By Paul Nelson Published 8:52 pm, Friday, January 6, 2017
Schenectady The city would pay $1.7 million over three years to a debt collection company to settle a lawsuit over a contract dispute. The proposed settlement, which must be approved by the City Council, calls for Florida-based American Tax Funding Servicing, LLC, or ATF, to receive annual payments of about $600,000, according to several people with knowledge of the deal. The potential settlement could be discussed at the Jan. 17 City Council agenda meeting and then discussed and voted on by the full panel at its Jan. 23 meeting. The first payment to ATF would likely occur in late summer, possibly September, or early fall. The dispute relates to tax delinquent liens on hundreds of Schenectady properties. Earlier this week, Carl Falotico, city attorney, would only discuss the matter in general terms. "We've had a lawsuit pending for a long period of time and we're exploring all of our options to resolve that lawsuit," said Falotico, who declined to discuss any aspects of the proposed settlement. ATF CEO Matthew Marini confirmed via email earlier this week that the company is in "active settlement discussions with the city and I believe we are very near finalizing those discussions," though he declined to offer any specifics. In another email, Marini said the original contract with the city dates back to October 2004 and that a "few minor issues that arose were resolved amicably." "In short, it was an excellent relationship," he added. "That is until there was a change in the city administration in 2011." In 2011, Gary McCarthy became mayor. By 2012, the city stopped selling its liens to ATF because the company lowered its payments. As a result, both the city and ATF had liens on the same properties. Marini's email noted that the when it comes to tax liens, the newest lien, meaning the holder of a new tax lien, can start foreclosure proceedings and wipe out the older liens that were owned by ATF. "It was always ATF's policy to try and work out long-term payment arrangements with the property owners so our liens stayed outstanding for longer periods of time," wrote Marini in the correspondence. "This ability to wipe out our liens is exactly why we had a contract that required the city to sell us the newer tax lien." He went on to say that the city, using liens that it refused to sell to ATF, then initiated foreclosure proceedings "to wipe out our position and take the properties away from taxpayers who were trying to catch up through ATF." "This was evidently central to Mayor McCarthy's stated plan to use the proceeds gained by foreclosing on good properties to clean up blighted properties," added Marini. The mayor did not immediately respond to a call Friday to his cellphone seeking comment. His administration, however, has over the years seized many properties and embarked on an aggressive campaign to get rid of eyesore properties and sell others as part of a program aimed at streamlining the path to home ownership. Falotico explained that ATF in a federal lawsuit dating back to 2011, alleges that Schenectady breached the terms of the contract by foreclosing on properties the company had liens on. At issue are roughly 214 properties, many abandoned dwellings on which the owners had not paid taxes for years. ATF purchased the tax liens for those dwellings, which allowed it to foreclose and sell the homes if they owners didn't pay up. In some cases, unsuspecting city homeowners were caught in the middle of the dispute because on one hand they had a payment plan with ATF but were receiving letters from the city warning them they risked losing their property if they didn't pay their property taxes. Once the original civil actions in state and federal courts were dismissed without prejudice, ATF in 2015 filed a second lawsuit in federal court that consolidated the litigation, Falotico added. In a civil case, the dismissal without prejudice allows the plaintiff to re-file the same case in the future, which is what ATF did. In 2015, ATF filed a second civil action in federal court, said Falotico said. pnelson@timesunion.com • 518-454-5347 • @apaulnelson
Clifton Park residents voting on controversial land sale ... cbs6albany.com CLIFTON PARK, NY (WRGB)--People in clifton park are at the polls Tuesday, voting to decide the future of a controversial piece of land. The battle over the space ...
Why don't they return/refuse tax payment? And or eminent domain vacant land for being blight. Then for cherry on top. Appeal date for eminent domain never given. There are ways the government can get this property, No? Developer can just up the bid. We will just go through the town and Make You sell!
Not for sale! Unacceptable? Oh, that's not allowed with school property..
So a developer doesn't want to hear. Let the property be. It's business is to develop. So If the developer wants the location bad enough? The developer might offer more? The developer can also go through government to help influence or even force one to sell their land. Yet the lower the income. The less ability to fight any wrongdoing by the developer and or any involved government officials. Along with the connected court system followed by an inadequate, inefficient, ineffective legal defense which is also a witness to the wrongdoings by the courts and the ( local gang members ) local government. And add in a few big names and entities that are highly interested in this location ,location... But could it be that the entities involved . Have So much power !!? That the Laws are not created equal. Land developers . Rich institutions involved in developing near by areas . Between the Law and Political Connections from local to state and Fed.

Hello Mr. Bianchi,
After more consideration and speaking with a co-worker, I really think you should wait and speak to Beth regarding details of this situation. I did not speak directly with anyone from the city, and I do not have expertise in the legal area of these liens and properties. Therefore, I do not feel comfortable speaking with your attorney or providing anything in writing for your meeting. Beth has much more knowledge about the liens and this will give her the opportunity to get in touch her contact at the city. All I can provide for you is what I stated in yesterday’s email: Optimum Realty cannot accept the money to redeemed these liens because of our contract in which we purchased the liens. I assume you have Beth’s emails that show the parcels you were trying to redeem. Just in case, they are as follows: 39.57-4-39, 39.57-4-40, 39.57-4-41, 39.57-4-42, 39.57-4-17. I would suggest that you obtain a list of specific questions that your attorney needs answered and discuss them with Beth when she returns. I am sorry I do not have more information for you, and I regret this is happening while those who could be of more assistance are out of the office. I am copying Beth on this e-mail, so she will be up to speed on the situation when she gets back.

I'll always be in disarray. Besides the power of attorney bullshit with Moms wishes being denied. Even though glen along with the city and county court were all witness and satisfied with the poa that was produced at the abandonment trial for my uncles house. In which again , the abandonment house posting was the start of me being told it must be about the taxes. Which prompted my returned tax payment and obstruction of justice by the city in ordering the tax lien company to return my payment and not honoring my two contracts. One contract with payments on the house. The other contract for one payment in full for the vacant lots. In which the vacant lots were taken through eminent domain approximately a couple years later. In which with the eminent domain. The vacant lots were said to be blight and for unpaid taxes. Also with the eminent domain it was said that the vacant lots also had buildings on some of them which the buildings and the land were blight. Again, no buildings or blight with the vacant lots that I kept mowed. To summarize : (1)To be threatened. When (I) was contacted by an attorney in the beginning with my uncles/mothers property. To sell, or they will just go through the city and make me sell! (2)Then, came the abandonment posting. Then, being told the abandonment must be about the taxes, because no inspector had viewed the building and there were no building violations to be dealt with. (3) I was also denied the right to file a permit to work on the building. Which normally if a building is posted for abandonment. Any permit would show that the building was not abandoned. Taxes or not. In which late charges or tax foreclosure are normal proceedings for unpaid taxes. (4) * The city of Schenectady's sole purpose to order the tax lien company to return my payment and not honor my contracts. Was to create false evidence to be presented to the county court for the house abandonment trial. Also later for the eminent domain on the vacant lots. (5) Following the abandonment trial for my uncles house on Barrett street. I was asked if I wanted to sell the vacant lots on Barrett and Seminary. With my reply of "No!", the second threat from the attorney that represented the city in the abandonment trial. That, " Then we will make you sell!" (6) Again. My mother and I did not both file for bankruptcy until after the city of Schenectady wrongfully messed with our assets. We had no mortgages on my late uncles property. Just late taxes. In which again we were informed by our attorney that we might not want to pay the property taxes until my uncles Will was settled. In case the Will was disputed and we did not end up with property. (7) Between , the Lawyers and the Courts. Newspaper articles. That an attorney first threatened that "We will go through the city and Make you sell!" Then to wrongfully order tax payment on several parcels to be sent back to create false evidence first for an abandonment trial for one property, followed by eminent domain for several more parcels. Which again, the eminent domain involved no buildings. The vacant lots were mowed and not blight.
So (if) I can show beyond a reasonable doubt. That number four is true. Would it be seen as a big deal? What if We did that to create evidence, We would be hung? Would We get away with that? Do you have a problem with late charges (with high interest!) and legal tax foreclosure are the ways taxes are dealt with? Telling someone, They must sell or they will just! Did the city have more of a right because? Because whomever bought Luigi's and wanted my families land had connections? Does being late with taxes compare to What They Did!? To be honest, I've had no where's to run. Yes, I was thinly spread. Investing anything and much into the city. I had Rotterdam opportunities. But chose Schenectady. Or maybe it chose me.. They had no right to do what they did. How they did it. I had investors and investments . They wrongly messed with our thinly spread asses assets. Who were the actual power players? How many wrongdoings can you really count? Threats, harassment, to create evidence, why was it so important to order those taxes back??
