As you're going north on Frankford, approaching Cottman, it's right next to Kiki's Furniture on the corner. It used to be the Mayfair Jewelers. I go past it on the 66 every day, and have seen some losers milling around out front.

Yeah, it's on the right hand side going North just at the Cottman/Fkd. intersection. You can't miss it. Yesterday, appx. 745pm, 2 guys were sitting out front on folding chairs.

If you have any proof of wrong doing on the part of PHA or OHCD regarding L&I inspections on properties they are trying to sell or flip (which I would not be suprised to find true), you should list the addresses and the dates of transactions.
Do you expect them to go through every real estate transaction and dig thru the paperwork to find whatever it is you are alleging?
On the surface, I believe these things go on, especially with OHCD. But if you want someone to look into it, you need to present them with details, IMO.
Good luck

no permiits for roofing plumbing, electrical or construction for any of these properties. i know that they are 10 years old but our f.b.i told me why do these thefts bother me. they are not bothering anyone else. quote"mrs Amy kurland" quote fbi agent in charge of corruption "mrs vicki humphries." and i also spoke to a sandy from mr. patrick meehan's office district attorney
the question is what kinds of precautions are in place to prevent payments without proper permits. or were some of these official f.b.i.under the table house flipping which can be ignored. untill someone finds out . they tried to kill me.
seems we are headed for the dark ages ,where no one knows anything. If you find 1 cockroach in your house chances are there are 100 more hidden from sight

well Im sorry i was talking about how"if" one man can steal 100,000 thousand dollars a month by not getting city permits and claiming he had just done work ,when it was really done years before. it has been nearly 40 yrs since crimes like these has been investigated. If 1 man can steal 100,000 dollars how much could 5 steal or 10 who's keeping track.but the city of phila, the f.b.i, district attorney Mr Patrick Meehan know and are aware these crimes are going on and continue to allow payments with no permits or paperwork. this is happening city wide. thats why they can never answer a direct question. and is there ethics and are people being held responsible for their helping humanity.
why are not permits obtainable by the freedom of information act,to see what kind of work has been done recently in your area. i bet they cant go back very far either

Default well i guess if no one cares i cannot force you as taxpayers

Well i guess it’s true what our gov’t says .that people have more money than brains .and its easy pickings out there while no one says anything about these and other thefts. the only thing for certain this election is THAT WE NEED to raise taxes so our kids will never have to work a day in their lives ,” see everyone is aware and no one does nothing so why do you care stephen” as quoted by mrs amy kurland the new chief ethics of L&I.. the only way for evil to gain a foothold is for good people to do nothing. i guess its like everything else or why even how our constitution has received such great interests in tyrants or the gov’t elite and now there is such worry about guns in america. “the only

the question still remains how can one remove evil from the planet earth.
when the right hand doesn’t know what the left is doing, and they are both ignoring each other. modus operandi
1-as i stated in sr3.doc dated 1-18-06 ,addressed to federal judge mrs petrese tucker and the district attorney mr. patrick meehan, and to the federal bureau of investigation , and to the city comptroller mr. jonathan saidel, and i did receive one phone call back returned to me by “mrs “ethics” amy kurland . that these theft’s were occuring and that no permits are being required for numerous jobs BEING PAID for with no permits, by taxpayer funds. mrs. amy kurlands response was only “see no one cares how much money is being stolen” that when i worked for the city of phila housing unit at 990 spring garden st. i was asked not to require permits for plumbing work that was replaced and covered illegally done without permits or for the safty of phila’s citizens. and that no permits or inspections “fees and safty”
2-if you would observe in the new folder on your cd .and given freely to those i mentioned above. you will find that at least they are billing the city for work done ILLEGALLY OR not up to code. OR LESS than minimum, or not done at all. with no inspections and no permits.
3-and if you were to question those employed by our federal govt .who work at 13th and lehigh. or could there be more involved than just our phila. government. i say throw the dice and inform the people of where their tax money is being spent.
4-A- roofing permits not required before certain payments are made.
5-b- plumbing permits not required before payments are made to a selected brief few.
c- electrical permits not required before payments are made
d- conststruction permits not required
according to tiff. files in new folder. no permits are required for any of these so called great jobs but payments are being made daily.
b- no permits are required by the city of phila. housing unit located at 990 spring garden st.
C- no permits are required by pha at 13th and lehigh st where much work is being done daily for complaints by others in this community. or for the department of OHCD office housing community developement
d- our federal govt has done nothing in preventing these thefts to the taxpayer. perhaps it is not enough for the courts to decide the fates of individuals involved it belongs to the taxpayers who are supporting these attrocitities.

bring truth and this darkness will dissappear!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Simply focus on bringing light, and that light will eventually consume evil.
bring truth and that light will eventually consume evil.

(without prejudice or attepmting to buy justice.) “axis of evil”
Yet, in bringing truth, you do not have to fight lies and you do not have to fight other people. You simply bring the truth, and then you leave it up to other people to make their free-will decisions as to how they will respond to that truth.
My point here is that the ultimate law of this universe is free will. If you love your neighbor as yourself, you will not violate your neighbor’s free will. You will give him or her the truth as you see it, but you will be completely non-attached to his or her response. You will allow your neighbor to make his or her own choices.
Despite the manipulation happening on earth, every human being has the potential to make the choice to reach for something higher.

unless the playing field is being manipulated by those in which we as americans place our trust. or it is in the midst of corporate welfare being given to banks for allowing unscrupolous loans which they knew these people could not afford.
i do not know how much time or effort you have placed into some or all of the writings i have recently written you , and i wish to thank you in your efforts ,and your time you have spent with me so far.
i know i have been told that someone in a high posiotion would have to participate in this kind of misadventure, and that to find someone in authority who would wish to want to help stop these kinds of thefts and abuses to the common taxpayer or citizen would be difficult.
but if no one is willing to put it in writing as i think i have clearly demonstrated ,does this make it that allowing evil so good may come “a law”
please either call me for further information in investigating these frauds or send me in writing that these are not crimes against the common taxpayer and/or that you have found no reason to continue investigation. thank you
Stephen M. Rachuba

again i thank you for your patience with me

consumer fraud being ignored by govt elite 2 wrongs do not make a right
governments house flipping with no permits and no inspections approved by commissioner of Philadelphia's license and inspection. and ignored by our federal government .i invite anyone with the resources to look into these properties as well as others recently sold thru p.h.a phila housing authority , ohcd office of housing and community development , sheriff saled homes. while allowing these horsebarn retirements to continue. sad to say that ethics is all about finances or money gains for some losses for others while in reality these thefts unabated only give reason to allow dispair to thrive exhaustively when money becomes never enough .institutionalized acts of of thefts creating violence in the homeland

Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.

Default Start Snitchin

There is no easy answer to the crime problem in Philadelphia. The police say the problem is the community that won't cooperate and "Snitch" on the criminals.

The community fears the the police won't protect witnesses from intimidation and that the police are not on their side. It's the community against government. So why should a kid in North Philly cooperate? What does he have to gain? Who can he trust when no one has his back? He's just trying to survive.

We've got to change what it means to be a snitch. It doesn't mean you are a pawn of the "the man". It doesn't necessarily mean you are a hypocrite. It doesn't mean you are a coward.

Standing up to the thugs is the most courageous thing you can do.

Visit StartSnitchin.com and join the discussion. Let's change this city.
