  1. We understand that there are many issues the FBI must investigate on site asap. Especially when residents are being followed, harrassed and stalked for speaking with the Authorities.

  2. No wonder my friends told me they felt like they were being spied on by possible long-term workers or owners of the buildings, or?

    And told me there was a strange room in the basement with all the complicated wiring and computers, and heavily guarded by Security.?

    And does anyone know Kyle? What happened to him?

  3. We must create a short list of priorities asap, and send it to City Hall with a demand to be assigned a Representative who will work closely with us to resolve the issues. Also, we elect new Representatives on our side who will oversee the repair of all living conditions in the homes and condos to assure they are granted Certificates of Occupany asap.

  4. LEGAL COMPLAINT BY HON. NATE HOLDEN AGAINST ESSEX MCC L.P.

    Subject: BC6255886 HON. NATE HOLDEN LAWSUIT ON THE TOXIC
    GASES AT MARINA CITY CLUB.
    Date: October 3, 2025, at 11:12:23 PM PDT

    This document is a legal complaint filed by Senator Nathaniel Holden against multiple defendants, including Essex Marina City Club and others, alleging various breaches of contract and negligence related to living conditions in a residential building.

    Yes, the document states that investigations into the water damage at the premises uncovered Stachybotrys (Also Known as Toxic Black Mold), along with significant moisture and water damage. ​ The plaintiff alleges prolonged exposure to highly toxic mold spores, including Stachybotrys, which caused health complications and physical harm. ​

    These parties are collectively referred to as “MARINA DEFENDANTS” and
    are alleged to have failed to maintain the premises, leading to water
    damage, mold contamination, and health hazards. ​

    The document identifies the following parties as responsible:

    1. Essex Marina City Club, L.P. (a limited partnership) ​
    2. Essex Marina City Club, LLC (a corporation) ​
    3. Marina City Club Condominium Owners Association (a corporation) ​
    4. Marina City Club, L.P. (a California Limited Partnership) ​
    5. Seabreeze Management Company, Inc. (a corporation) ​
    6.-An individual, owner, or occupant of Unit 720 CTS)
    7. DOES 1-100 (unnamed defendants whose identities are yet to be determined) ​
    8. Based on the document, the defendants did not adequately fix the damages. ​ The plaintiff alleges that the defendants failed to remediate
    the water damage and mold contamination at the premises, resulting
    in prolonged exposure to toxic mold and other hazardous conditions. ​
    This failure forced the plaintiff to vacate the property and caused health complications, property damage, and emotional distress. ​

  5. BROKER MUST DISCLOSE DEFECTS TO THE OTHER SIDE………………

    This document outlines the legal duty of real estate brokers in California
    to disclose known MATERIAL DEFECTS AND FACTS TO BOTH PARTIES in a transaction, regardless of their fiduciary relationship.

    Brokers in California real estate transactions mistakenly believe that their duties extend only to the party they represent. ​ They often assume that their obligation to disclose material facts arises only in dual agency situations. ​

    However, California law imposes a statutory duty of disclosure that applies to both sides of a transaction, regardless of whether the Broker is acting as a dual agent. ​ This duty requires brokers to disclose all known material facts affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to or reasonably discoverable by the other party. ​

    Under Civil Code §2079.16, the obligation applies whether or not the Broker
    is a dual agent.
    In sum, the duty to disclose known material facts runs to both
    sides of a real estate transaction. It is statutory, not contractual,
    and applies regardless of dual agency. It is spelled out in the
    agency disclosure form that every Broker delivers, but too few
    truly read. Brokers who ignore it do so at their peril. California
    law does not let them decide which party deserves honesty—
    Both do.

  6. EMAIL MAY 31, 2022 FROM MCC HOMEOWNER INFURIATED JUST FOUND OUT
    IN THE EVENT SHE SELLS HER PROPERTY, SHE HAS TO PAY 3% OF THE TOTAL VALUE.

    Could someone please explain to me, according to the email below, that a person selling their condo has to pay 3% of the condo’s value to Essex If this is true, where can I find the information that supports this statement I am not aware that if I sell my condo, a 3% fee of the property’s value goes to Essex To say the least, if true, I am infuriated.

  8. A rumor about the Dolphin Apartments’ legal problems:
    Apparently, a nationally recognized forensic and handwriting expert had concluded that Dolphin Dockmaster Henry Shottske is the most probable suspect because his handwriting matches that of the forgery.

    This all will be aired in Court during the 24SMCV01932 Dolphin Lawsuit.

  9. We received these comments regarding some items in Marina Del Rey.
    Hi all:
    CAL YACHT CLUB FIRE
    Had an exciting conversation with a security guard who was at the fire regarding the Cal Yacht Club.
    This guard overheard two fire Department employees talking.
    He believes one said, “Bill turned on the gas when we went inside the Yacht club, and the chief told me to keep my mouth shut if I wanted to keep my job.”
    As time passes, there is no official report on the fire. The maximum time allowed for a commercial fire official report is 90 days. The Cal Yacht Club fire is now 20 months behind. As of August 24, no official report has been issued.

    Interestingly, the Cal fire occurred only four months after the County decided to move forward with affordable housing fully. The housing movement began with the passage of the Mello Act in 1982 and has been progressing slowly since that time.

    PACIFIC PALISADES FIRE
    Advance the clock to January 2025, the time of the Palisades fire. What do we have?
    1. Let’s start with no water in fire hydrants,
    2.-1,000 firefighters laid off, over 50-minute response times
    3.-And the fact that only 240 permits have been issued, when 12,400 buildings were destroyed.

    Move on to Dolphin.
    As you can see, the County is intentionally driving the facility into bankruptcy.
    I learned that correspondence is in the beginning phases with the County and Catholic Church, which, unfortunately, is affiliated with the communist left. The plan appears to be that when parts of the Marina go bankrupt, the parcels will be taken over by the County and then sold to the Catholic Church and other
    left-winged NGOs or other non-profit groups. The Catholic Church will act as a broker in the name of serving the public interest.

    All accomplished in the false name of public interest. The writing is on the wall.

  10. GUARDIANSHIP ABUSE OF THE ELDERLY COMMUNITY.
    Hi, I will provide a few comments regarding Pub.L. 115-70,
    The team is doing excellent work.
    However, the actual abuse comes from court-appointed guardianships.

    In my wife’s case, the killing of Marcy DuDeck, where the guardian taunted us in 2010 while he withheld water from Marcy DuDeck. Shafer called us every day by phone while Marcy’s health was failing, taunting us. Oh yes, the FBI and police refused to take reports. This was a slow murder by phone. Teri knows about this. The guardian even placed the securities account on margin and stole money. The guardian’s assistant stole Wedgewood dishes and sold them to finance her gambling problem. Google Patience Brystal and read about how she was escorted from the court in handcuffs.
    Look up Steve Miller’s articles about Marcy Dudeck and witness a copy of a forged check.
    If you want to solve this problem, start with the fact a law firm can contribute up to 20% of a family court judges’ campaign. Look up the fact that the 20% rule is entirely legal and blessed by the American Bar Association. In our case, Jared Shafer actually bragged that he had five law firms in his back pocket, which controlled the judges in family court.

    Here is a bigger bomb shell. Jared Shafer said he was one of the individuals who intended to alter the 2020 election in the state of Nevada. The bombshell is that my interview, stating this prediction, was made on December 9, 2019, exactly 11 months before the 2020 election.

    If you listen to that interview, everything I said came true. The national interview was titled “Charles Pascal: How Dead People Vote.”
    https://tsradionetwork.buzzsprout.com/2434918/episodes/16305791-ts-radio-network-how-dead-people-vote-with-charles-pascal

    Still there. This interview has remained online for 6 years, and no one has taken it down.

  11. Mashian Law Group-
    writes: WHAT DOES A PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT REALLY TELL YOU?

    A Phase I ESA is fundamentally a risk assessment tool. It is designed to determine whether there is a reasonable basis to suspect environmental contamination that could affect the property’s value or trigger cleanup obligations. It is not a guarantee that the property is clean, and it does not test soil, groundwater, or building materials.
    A Phase I ESA also does not assess asbestos, lead paint, mold, or radon (unless separately scoped).

    Understanding the scope and limitations of a Phase I is crucial to avoiding costly surprises.

    1. We have some questions on this case, Ocean Towers Luxury co-op in Santa Monica.

      1.-Did the C.A.G.’s office investigate allegations of corruption within the Ocean Towers HOA leadership? ​
      2.-Did they issue a 119-count indictment against John and Omar Spahi, Joseph Orlando, and Dorothy Orlando, accusing them of grand theft, identity theft, and money laundering? ​
      3.-Did the C.A.G.’s office allege that the four individuals embezzled approximately
      $5.7 million from the HOA by billing for construction projects that were never completed? ​
      According to this report, the indictment led to significant changes in the HOA’s management. ​
      1.-A court order in July 2018 appointed a receiver, which removed John Spahi and his allies from the board and terminated Joseph Orlando’s presidency of the building. ​

      2.-The receiver deemed the HOA “effectively insolvent” and imposed a special assessment on homeowners to address financial issues, including repairs, legal fees, and existing debt. ​

      3.-A new board was elected in 2019, consisting of non-Spahi-affiliated members, and an independent management company was brought in. ​ Since then, the new management has recovered millions of dollars and secured a settlement agreement to recover up to $15 million from John Spahi through the lease or sale of his units. ​

      4.0-Under the settlement terms, Spahi must dissolve his ownership stake in Ocean Towers within several years and is barred from buying into the co-op again. ​

  15. THIS IS THE LAWYER WE PAID ALMOST ONE MILLION DOLLARS BEFORE EXPOSING THEM, AND THEY DISAPPEARED.
    Adams Stirling Loses Again in the Courts
    But WHO Pays…?
    Here’s a cautionary tale….

    A jury has awarded a Santa Monica homeowner $308,150 in a case that started as a water damage and mold case but escalated into one involving breach of a settlement agreement, negligence, and breach of fiduciary duty.
    The litigation has dragged on since 2012.
    The Adams Stirling law firm fought the homeowner for seven
    (7) years, but lost at the trial court, and finally at the California Court of Appeals, Second District (Los Angeles).

    WHO PAYS for all the costs of litigation?
    (1) Seven years’ worth of Adams Stirling legal fees
    (2) The $308,150 in damages
    (3) The homeowner’s legal fees awarded by the Appeals Court?
    We hope someone tells us the answer.

    We’ve seen too often that an association’s insurance is insufficient to cover damages and legal fees awarded by the courts, so a Board – acting on advice from legal counsel – LEVIES a special assessment to cover the costs.

    Longmire v 1022 10th Street (B288063) began as a case involving water damage intruding into a condo unit – an intrusion that generated mold and health problems for the owner, Gill Longmire. She sued and, through the courts, reached an agreement with the association (HOA) that it would make repairs.
    Two years later, the repairs were still undone – so she sued a second time for breach of the agreement.

    The Appeals Court agreed with her – and awarded her costs.
    Wouldn’t it have been CHEAPER – not to mention COMPLIANT WITH THE COURT SETTLEMENT – for the HOA to FIX the water damage than to pursue more litigation?

    Or was the HOA board just getting led around by the nose by its legal counsel, handing out harmful — and pricey — advice?

    AND THIS BRINGS US TO THE PH29 CASE. FLOODING CASE THAT ADAMS, GOTLIEB, AND NOW ROSEMAN ARE MILKING THE ASSOCIATION FUNDS, AND ALL APPROVED BY THE MCC BOARDS

    FROM 2016 TO 2023, ALL THE LAWYERS HAVE EXHAUSTED HOA FUNDS, INCLUDING ROSEMAN, WITH THIS INJUSTICE.

    ROSEMAN IS OUR COLLECTIONS AGENCY
    ROSEMAN IS THE MCC RESTAURANT LEGAL CONTACT
    ( OF 3 EMPLOYEES).
    NOW P.M.P. IS THE COLLECTOR OF OUR HOA FEES
    NOW P.M.P. IS THE COLLECTOR OF OUR GROUND RENT.
    NOW P.M.P. IS PAYING MCC VENDORS, WONDER IF THIS IS CALLED
    COMINGLING WITH HOA FUNDS?

    MAYBE WE SHOULD CHECK WITH THE DIFFERENT GOVERNMENTAL DEPARTMENTS, TO SEE IF THIS IS LEGAL TO BE MANAGING ALL THOSE DIFFERENT FUNDS. IT WAS NOT LIKE THIS BEFORE, SO P.M.P. CAME AND CHANGED EVERYTHING!!!!

  16. FORECLOSURES
    Based on his bio, Larry Summers also worked at the World Bank and orchestrated a financial crisis overseas around 1996-1998 

    I think it was just a prep to start the controlled demolition of the United States of America by large investment banks. 

    In 1999, Clinton, Summers, Biden, and others repealed the Glass-Steagall Act. This act, in place since the aftermath of the Great Depression, had effectively separated commercial and investment banking activities. Its repeal allowed banks to engage in riskier investment activities, shifting their focus from regulated securities to unregulated ‘bets’ (private contracts). 

    Now nobody controls big banks’ “securitization “- except themselves. Their products sold to investors are not securities and are not regulated by the Securities Act or any agencies. 

    They weaponized the media to promote these bets/private contracts as “mortgage-backed securities “- and continue to do it as of today. 

    These unregulated, unsecured “Private contracts “were sold to investors under the guise of “sales of parts of loans.” 

    Homeowners, who have no clue about the fundamental nature of their transactions, con themselves that they were taking out ‘loans’ and that these ‘loans’ were securitized and sold to investors. It’s important to empathize with the homeowners who were unknowingly part of this alleged scheme. 

    In reality, homeowners merely sold to banks a key to a money-printing machine, and banks use homeowners’ names and financial reputations as references in bets with investors, which they sell and resell over and over again. 

    Dividends to old investors are paid from the proceeds of bets sold to new investors or from investors’ own funds. 

    When this Ponzi collapses, now it’s over $220 trillion weapon of mass destruction, the 1933 Great Depression will be a nostalgic memory. The potential consequences of this collapse are dire, and it’s crucial that we remain aware of and concerned about the risks. 

  17. COMPLIANCE DEADLINE – JAN 1, 2026-First SB 721 Inspection Due.

    THERE IS A COMPLIANCE DEADLINE FOR SB721 BALCONY INSPECTION/EEE FOR APARTMENTS.
    Mandatory Inspection for all multi-family properties with 3+ units.
    Don’t risk fines, liability, or emergency repairs. Get compliant now.

    MCC received this warning about 3 years ago. What happened?
    Do you think the balconies are unsafe?
    Do you think the windows are not safe?

  19. Marina del Rey Tenants Fight Back Against Uninhabitable Conditions.
    Tenants at Marina Tower are fed up, and they’ve been organizing.

    Farah Abouzeid | November 24, 2025- KNOCKLA- NEWS

    WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MARINA DEL REY?
    DEVELOPERS AND L.A. COUNTY ARE BEING SUED FOR NEGLECTED AND UNSAFE BUILDINGS IN MARINA DEL REY. IT IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!!

    READ BELOW ONE MORE BUILDING IN MARINA DEL REY, VERY SIMILAR TO THE MARINA CITY CLUB TOWERS AND PROMENADE BUILDINGS, WITH VERY UNSAFE CONDITIONS.

    In response to months of disruptive, dangerous conditions resulting from construction, without transparency or communication from management, residents at Marina Tower have formed a tenants’ union with over 40 members. Marina Tower is managed by MOSS & COMPANY, a property management firm that oversees hundreds of units across Los Angeles. The union has also received support from the Coalition for Economic Survival and the Los Angeles Tenants Union (LATU).

    “[The construction is] allegedly an earthquake retrofit, but they’ve been demo-ing all the balconies for months now, so it’s constant jackhammering during the day,” shared Rob Thorington, who has led the tenants’ fight in organizing.

    Another tenant, who prefers to remain anonymous, said, “The location is awesome, but basically everything else sucks. It’s an old building, and it’s not earthquake-proof, which is the reason for the construction.”

    He went on to explain, “I didn’t receive any heads up about the construction until an hour after it started, and my understanding is that most residents had the same experience. The drilling was insane. Everyone sent emails, and then they sent an email saying they were doing construction. The drilling starts exactly at 8 AM and goes on til about 4 PM. I feel like I’m going mental with all the reverberating.”

    Renting a unit at Marina Tower costs over $3,000/month.

    Tenants asked to be compensated for the cost of relocating, given the incessant construction and the hazards it causes. Multiple residents reported that epoxy resin had entered their apartments, and one was struck on the shoulder by a golf-ball-sized rock due to the lack of scaffolding shielding the sidewalk.

    In response to these ongoing conditions and Moss & Company’s lack of meaningful action, tenants have now filed a multimillion-dollar civil lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court. The complaint alleges uninhabitable conditions, negligence, and retaliation.

    “After our first four days of organizing, they agreed to give us $400 off a month and backdate it 2 months, because of the construction,” said Thorington. “They apologized for the construction noise and said we can break our lease without 30 days’ notice if needed. They previously gave us headphones with earmuffs, as aircraft marshals use, if you work from home, and offered to reimburse us if we go to a coworking space like WeWork. They’ve also been putting muffins in the lobby.”

    The regional manager of Moss & Company, Franklin Scotti, secretly joined their private tenant union under a fake name, Francis Rucho, to monitor their communications without consent.

    “Franklin Scotti emailed me and asked how many of us were organizing,” said Rob. “I googled the name Francis Rucho, and it said it was his alias. I took screenshots and responded to him on behalf of the group, [saying] ‘We’re reaching out in good faith with serious concerns about billing transparency and habitability, for you to engage with tenants under a false identity makes it so that we don’t trust management at all.’ It’s really disrespectful to the tenants group.”

    Another resident, Kevin (who prefers to omit his last name from this article), a healthcare worker who moved into Marina Tower in July 2024, shared that when he first looked at his unit, he saw scaffolding on the side of the apartment and wondered how long that had been there. He was told his balcony would be finished by August 2024.

    “I applied, and a couple of days later, they had said I had been denied, even though I had been transparent about my finances and didn’t have a bad rent history, he said. “Then they said I could move in if I paid three months in advance and a deposit of a month and a half, but this was after California had passed a law in the last month saying that they couldn’t charge more than two months’ rent upfront.”

    Kevin had to move out of his previous apartment, and he was worried he wouldn’t be approved for another apartment.

    “I had to pull $9,000 out of my retirement to cover the deposit cost, so then they gave me the apartment,” he explained. “But after that, I was like, is this legal? I was just really taken aback, but I was like, I guess they’re a large leasing company, so they probably know what they’re doing.”

    Kevin explained that, after moving in, months passed without any construction, even though the scaffolding remained. “I had been expecting my balcony to look better by October in 2024, but there was no construction for all of 2024,” he said.

    Then, in early 2025, the construction began, and the noise was constant. In mid-April, Kevin saw a flyer about tenants organizing to share their stories about what’s been happening here in the apartment complex.

    “I’m a resident physician, so I often have to work at night, and it sucks to come home and have to hear drilling all day,” said Kevin. “They never told us when the construction was going to end — the last they sent out said at least a year. As a tenant, it’s unsafe for me because I need to rest so I can provide adequate care for my patients.”

    Kevin shared that his goal was to be relocated to a different building with a different company, saying, “I honestly don’t feel the safest staying here at this point.”

    Thorington learned at an LATU meeting in May that Marina Tower never issued a Tenant Habitability Plan (THP), which is legally required for major construction such as the structural and seismic work they’ve been doing. Throughout the building, new units have been rented without THP. None of the current tenants have signed anything or received notices, which is a significant violation that makes Moss & Company vulnerable to up to city penalties and tenant compensation.

    In addition to construction noise reaching recorded levels of 90–110 decibels, a lack of a tenant habitability plan, and health concerns from persistent dust and debris, the studios are listed at 450 sq ft, while in actuality, they are 370 sq ft. For most units, the HVAC system has not been working for 8-12 months, and management attempted to address this by providing space heaters but failed to provide updates or respond to complaints. There are also no vents or windows in the bathrooms, the parking garage gate, elevators, or laundry machines routinely break, and maintenance requests are frequently ignored, with the history of the reports deleted altogether.

    “I spoke with a resident whose water was cut off without any warning,” said Thorington. “When they moved into the unit, the HVAC didn’t work. They ignored him for eight months, and then after he ramped up his complaints two months ago, they finally came, but no one was onsite to help the repairman, so he had to guess which unit’s water he should shut off.”

    He went on to explain, “The manager is usually in the gym working out; a lot of times you have to go there to find him. Someone was knocking at my door while we were on the phone, and I said I needed more than a 30-second heads-up. They walk into your unit; they come in without permission. It’s happened to almost everyone on the group chat.”

    Utility bills are shared throughout the building, but the cost is higher than the math would suggest, and there is zero transparency into the amount or its fluctuations. In December 2024, the water was shut off for 48 hours without notice, and again in May of this year for 8 hours, also without notice.

    “I realized how high our utility bills were and that was a big red flag,” Thorington said. “We’ve formally requested a breakdown of the bills, as we can by California Law, but they’ve refused.”

    Kevin also shared that one of the tenants on the Discord server had spoken with a Moss & Company employee, who said the way they charge us for utilities is essentially a scam. It increases every month, but she said, “That isn’t real, we just charge you whatever we feel like.”

    When tenants post informational flyers or union communications in the building, Moss & Company management employees continue to remove them, despite state laws that protect tenants’ rights to organize and share information.

    When the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) inspector arrived on May 8, Scotti and another Moss & Company employee were already in the lobby, eager to frame the situation in their favor. They told Thorington “to search the building and find him.” When tenants spoke to the inspector, he deflected every issue they raised, claiming that noise, elevators, and harassment were not his department. He rejected concerns about THP, arguing that it was not relevant because “construction was outside,” even though it was happening on their balconies, which are included in each unit’s square footage.

    Thorington continued, “Moss & Company had their head of maintenance trailing the group during the inspection. I asked him to leave, and he refused. In short, the inspection felt like a setup. The inspector seemed more interested in protecting management than listening to tenants.”

    What started with unanswered complaints about constant construction noise and broken promises quickly escalated into being woken by jackhammers, surrounded by scaffolding, and left in the dark and misled about what was coming next. Inflated utility bills, illegal entries into their apartments, and a complete lack of transparency from the building’s management, Moss & Company, led to the unification of tenants who were tired of these violations of their rights. Their lawsuit is ongoing.
