![]() ![]() There are also allegations relating to two apartments of other improprieties relating to occupants’ qualifications in relation to income. The Complaint, either intentionally or mistakenly intertwines Cadman Towers and Cadman Plaza North. Salas is correct, he has not yet suffered any loss or consequence. Management advises they have not reached this list, so even if Mr. Salas alleges that he submitted an application for a 1-bedroom apartment at Cadman Towers in 2009, paid the application fee and that the notation was inaccurate and he should remain on the waiting list as an eligible applicant. ![]() Salas’s name appears at Number 291 on CPN’s third one- bedroom waitlist (from the Octolottery) with a notation indicating that his application fee was not received. Salas’s claims appear to relate to the waiting list at Cadman Plaza North. KLL confirmed that Mr. The Report 2014-N-3 dated July 2015 focused on three developments, one of which was named as Cadman Towers (a 421-unit Mitchell-Lama located in Brooklyn) but the Complaint interchangeably uses Cadman Towers and Cadman Plaza North. Plaintiff Adrian Salas and his alleged experience with the “Cadman Towers” Waiting List: We believe HPD and the other named defendants will dispute the allegations. The complaint only alleges one count for relief: violation of due process, that is that each plaintiff acquired a property interest in their place on the waiting list and right to an apartment once they (the plaintiff) reached the top of the list, but were deprived of this property interest without sufficient notice or an opportunity to be heard and that they were thus deprived of a property interest without due process. The complaint further alleges that HPD failed to monitor and supervise these waiting lists and refers to a report produced by the Division of State Government Accountability (Report 2014-N-3) entitled “The Mitchell- Lama Program: Awarding Housing Units and Maintaining Waiting Lists” in support of such allegations. The class (meaning people who may join in this action) compromises of: all persons who any time after Januwere placed on a waiting list and were subsequently removed from the waiting list without proper notice. The plaintiffs allege that they (i) were placed on waiting lists at various Mitchell-Lama housing developments, (ii) paid non-refundable application fees, (iii) were never contacted about the availability of an apartment, and (iv) were unjustly removed from waiting lists without notice or explanation. The only defendants named are The City of New York, the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (“HPD”) and Louise Carroll, the Commissioner of HPD. This memo addresses the general allegations of the complaint and describes some examples of alleged misconduct. On December 5, 2019, a class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court of the Eastern District of New York alleging that the Mitchell-Lama program has failed to be administered in a fair and consistent manner. A link to the lawsuit is here: The communication from our attorney is below: As discussed at the open meeting January 8, a class action lawsuit was issued against HPD in which Cadman Plaza North was named.
