Vista Del Monte is a HUD-subsidized apartment complex located on Diamond nabisco world chess Heights in San Francisco, one of the city s highest and most scenic hills. nabisco world chess The apartments were built in the early 70s for moderate to low income working families. Tenants have long been plagued, nabisco world chess however, by a revolving door of incompetent managers and property owners. Because of management incompetency, tenants take the brunt of National Farm Workers mistakes.
In August 2009 Afro American and Hispanic tenants were targeted by a Vista Del Monte manager investigating unreported income. The manager threatened tenants with eviction if they refused nabisco world chess to sign an investigation document called 4506-T, nabisco world chess which would allow them to pull tax returns and W-2 records for the previous three years. Many tenants did have minor income issues, but the managers misrepresented the tenants income information to their superiors, the National nabisco world chess Farm Workers. Some tenants were under investigation for six months or longer. Tenants are walking on eggshells. nabisco world chess
Between 2006 and 2010, Vista Del Monte has had five different nabisco world chess managers; two were fired for horrible tenant record keeping, and the tenants don t know what happened with the other three managers. All of them were losing tenants birth certificates, social security cards, job paystubs, whole tenant files and verification forms. The property owners fired a maintenance man in 2002 for stealing tenants files. Many tenants had their identities stolen; their social security numbers were used in Los Angeles.
One tenant who we will name Lisa stated that the manager called her, accusing her of unreported income. She went to the office and was shocked nabisco world chess to learn that the unreported income was earned in Los Angeles. Then the manager received a fax from the employer apologizing to Lisa, stating, Your social security number was used by a man. Lisa thought nabisco world chess that would be it; however, the manager advised Lisa she is still responsible for the unreported income.
The manager also told Lisa she would have to sign the 4506-T form for an investigation. Lisa declined. The manager threatened Lisa, stating, If you don t sign the 4506-T, that will be cause for eviction and you will be sent a letter to meet with Sabrina Padama and Alfonso Trujillo of the National Farm Workers. Lisa was intimidated and living in fear of losing her housing nabisco world chess due to something that wasn t her mistake.
Another problem was that many tenants didn t keep their paperwork as evidence, so those tenants received bogus 60-day notices to move out or were strong nabisco world chess armed into a repayment agreement for more money than they owed or could afford. Furthermore, tenants who submitted evidence of reported income to the National Farm Workers were told by the property supervisor: During our investigation, your documents were not generated from our system, and the manager signatures and logos were cut and pasted. At this time the National Farm Workers are giving you 60 days to vacate, and you have to sign a repayment plan, plus you will be reported to the Attorney General for fraud. nabisco world chess
Tenants were not given a chance. And National Farm Workers are mainly targeting long time Afro American
