The corruption…. I’m trying to get mediation with Jon Bergling - what is the chance that he will do the right thing? Most people assume he took a couple of grand to fabricate records….8.5 Jon in the BoxHow to Get a City to WorkJon Bergling, Building Code Compliance Specialist Supervisor for the City ofBoulder, says that flooring is purely cosmetics. There are no building codes for flooring. Sorry, he can't help.I spoke before the Boulder City Council. If they were aware that Jon Bergling was fleecing me they didn't offer any correction. In fact, they offered absolutely nothing. It was not an election year. They remained silent waiting for me to sit down.That evening they busied themselves with the application of a Developer. The City staff came back stating that the development is unsustainable. There is no existing infrastructure to support it. It would cause problems in terms of parking, traffic, water, sewer and in all other aspects of living together. What should have been a speedy "No" vote became an elongated and twisted ordeal.Jen Burton was a new arrival. She appeared extremely worried as she brought up what was apparently a problem: that should the Council fail to authorize this development then the developer may not make a second proposition for this City! A second Councilman, an attorney, I suspect, went on tandem withBurton. It was hard for me to understand what his arguments were, as he was slightly more sophisticated thenBurton, and likely trained in "Attorney Speak."The three natives embarked on a muted, hard to follow discussion. Applebeum suggested that the City requires smaller condos, not the luxurious condos that we always end up with. "These discussions will keep ending up in the same spot each time," he worried.At this pointBurtonemployed a face typically reserved for USPS employees as they attempt sabotage waiting lines. It was a mixture of stupidity and bewilderment. "I'm going to vote Yes," she stated with devoted determination.That evening the Council was talking before a full room. The downstairs lobby streamed the meeting to a room packed with residents. Most of them have come to dissuade the Council from their reluctance to authorize Co-op developments that are large enough to deliver a financially viable housing solution for residents. All were highly educated. Most have been dismayed with the Council for a long time, accusing it of selling out the City and over-developing it.I believe it was at this point that Councilwoman Morzel offered that the same developer has sent her checks too, but that she had returned them all to him. I suspect that she was talking about undisclosed campaign "donations." Our legislators and Executives have relieved themselves from the need disclose the sources of their campaign contributions.The year before Morzel held an e-Town event to celebrate the initiation of her new composting program for the city. We enjoyed gourmet appetizers, the type of food Council members commonly eat at meetings. We then divided into groups to ask questions regarding the new composting regulations. It became almost instantly apparent that the regulations were half-baked and not well-thought-through. They were never implemented by the City.We then proceeded to an evening of empty gestures to green living topped by a raffle. We each got two pop-bottle lids with a number on them. We put one in the raffle bucket, or so we thought, and we kept one. When all of Morzel's office members have already gotten one ruffle gift our MC realized that her bucket was now empty. She suggested putting the lids back in the bucket and drawing second prizes for everyone. That's when residents realized they never actually participated in the ruffle.Morzel did keep her position after the elections. But perhaps she felt she had hit some type of ceiling in terms of conning the public. Perhaps something else prompted her to disassociate herself fromBurton's shamefully lame con-skills. Morzel suggested that she was going to vote "No." In the end the three old-timers voted No to the unwanted development.(NOTE TO EDITOR: A DESCERNING READER SHOULD BE ABLE TO READ THE FOLLOWING CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE LINES:BURTON: THESE WERE SOME FAT CAMPAIGN CHECKS. IF WE DON'T VOTE YES WE MIGHT NOT GET A SECOND OFFER LIKE THAT AGAIN.APPLEABEUM: I TRIED. THEY ARE GIVING ME FUNNY LOOKS.MORZEL: WE CAN KEEP THE CHECKS WE GOT FOR NOW. IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO STAY IN POWER. LET'S DO A NO VOTE.)People who Need Other PeopleIt was over a year later when an architect friend of mine suggested that while it was true that residents don't have to apply for licenses each time they replace their flooring, the City ofBoulderdoes follow applicable International Building Codes which Jon should have enforced in my case. The City also revises codes to adapt them toBoulderso there would never be any reason not to resolve my ordeal.I now realized that Jon's communication style was meant to find out what I do or don't know before he selects a response. I was left feeling uneasy and under-informed. I realized that after first contacting Jon by phone, we had played phone-tag for three weeks. It was not until, in one of my many messages, I mentioned that I had spoken to Jen from Rental Licensing. I mentioned that Jen said that Jon would come to conduct an inspection and that he was going to open a ticket for me and make everything right again. It was only then that Jon spoke to me on the phone, then showed up for the inspection.I went back to the City and learned that, without my knowledge Jon had indeed opened and closed a "Thermal" case against the Schuberts. He likely demanded that the Schuberts to be able to heat up their home to 63 degrees. He may have done so to keep Jen from Rental Licensing in the dark about his dealings. I found it comforting to think that perhaps Jon had to put much effort into keeping other City employees unaware of his adamant resistance to work. The ticket mentioned single layer of carpeting - likely the carpeting that Emilia kept for a couple of days.I asked Jen Ross from Jon's office to open a case for Sound Transmission between Units. I now feel that perhaps I need at least three different tickets: Sound Transmission between Units to prevent hardwood flooring; Thermal Transmission between Units to reinstate the insulation and underlayment; and Odor Transmission between Units just to make sure they have no excuses.Jen Ross said that Sound Transmission between Units had to do with loud parties. I should call the police, not the City. She will not open any tickets for me.I went back to the City and this time I sat in the conference room with LaDonna Eubanks, a Supervisor, while Bryan Holms, Senior Planer/Zoning Administrator, sat next to me and took notes. LaDonna suggested that I make an Open Records Request for my building plans. We could look at them together to determine whether any code violations occured.Bryanwrote down two emails that I could use. One was for the Planning and Development Services, the other for General City of Boulder Records. I wrote Planning and Development first.An unidentified team member answered that they have searched all building plans from 1983 and mine are not available. Jen Ross insisted that Jon Bergling had already looked at these non-existent plans and had already determined that there are no Building Code Violations. This felt like a strong, coordinated opposition to me. I noticed that when I search for my plat plans at the County, I search by developer or development name, not by year. My plat plans and building plans are both from 1984. Central Records confirmed the same; however I didn't realize that I should write them next. Instead I called Eubanks for help correcting the Planning and Development Services rebelion.Both Eubanks and her assistant told me that there were periods when the City was not required to keep building plans on record. I was not sure what to believe anymore. She said that it was my responsibility to supply the City with these plans. Somebody has them, she assured me, perhaps the developer.I felt that all that was required was to stand in my unit, experience the hot air coming from above and smell the corpse-like odors accompanied by deodorizers. Eubanks said that the only way to assert a Building Code Violation was to remove the flooring and she was not going to order that. Perhaps Eubanks felt that she needed to look at the plans to see how the insulation was arranged and whether there would be any reason to discard of it when gluing down engineered hardwood directly on my ceiling joists. She said that Jon Bergling had already conducted that physical inspection and did not find any Building Code Violations. She wouldn't help and suggested that I consult with an attorney.The November 7, 2017 election day was coming and I was not looking forward for another encounter with a corrupt Voting Office. Each time I would go to vote I would ask to vote electronically. I didn't trust them to count other ballots. Each time, the team would deny having a DVR; then they would deny knowing how to operate the DVR; then they would state that I'm not smart enough to operate the DVR; then they would say that Internet was down. In the end, they let me use the DVR to vote each time.The papers discussed similar behavior at the DNS - pushing Bernie Sanders away and putting forward Hillary Clinton, otherwise known as The Clintonite. The papers predicted that such shameless corruption could push voters to keep Trump in power for another term. I suddenly felt that perhaps that was not a bad idea. Democracy is only as good as the People who uphold it. I had too many fights on too many fronts. I wanted to see these smug, lying, shameless smiles wiped away. I may have been rush, but I drew my first weapon and mentioned Class-Act Lawsuits. I mentioned O'Neal.A Little Bird Told MeBeing a Real Estate Broker I made several builder friends. One of them told me that it was fine to buy brand new homes as long as I could supply my own inspection services. City Inspectors are notorious for taking bribes, he said. O'Neal bragged to this builder that he found a City Inspector who told him that he could "put these columns down as far as they go" and that's good enough. The owners of the new O'Neal Circle Condominiums inNorth Boulderdiscovered that their new building had moved. Their new windows broke, their new balconies cracked. The asbestos used for construction was now exposed. I heard of a mall that moved much the same way. "Two building a Class Act Law Suit make," I reasoned with Eubanks. Of course, attorneys have a generous budget for advertisement - so they should easily locate additional victims of moving buildings.AnotherColoradofiasco was the Eifes home cladding. Eifes is the best insulation for homes. It is a form of artificial stucco. Combined with the correct ventilation systems it makes for a great, long lasting insulation and easy to maintain, attractive cladding. For some reason the labor intensive Eifes claddings were not properly installed. Owners of brand new homes discovered that moisture was being wicked into their brand new homes and walls. This, in my mind, was a second Class Act lawsuit.The home my husband and I bought inSedaliahas an Eifes cladding. However, it was a home the builder built for himself and lived in for several years. The Eifes was well done. We had nice ventilation that allowed us to enjoy round-the-clock exchange of air with the outside without losing heat or cold. In fact, our entire Stoneridge development seemed to have been properly built.Another Class-Act law suit I could think of was for anyone who suffered noise nuisance due to hardwood flooring or inappropriate flooring upstairs. I suspect that the Codes are already in place and that a Sound Transmission between Units ticket addresses such nuisances to prevent them from ever happening.However, architects are not attorneys. If they have failed to adapt filing International Codes as to prevent Boulder City Residents from noise nuisance due to hardwood or inappropriate flooring options they can be sued. Or, if the architects maliciously amended the Codes as to purposely expose Boulder City Residents to noise nuisance then they can be sued for acting without good faith.Of course, attorneys make a lot of money each time the City refuses to intervene on behalf of residents. But perhaps residents were losing faith in the legal system's willingness to uphold their civil rights. Or perhaps they were getting educated regarding simple services that their City would have provided had it not been for bribes. Wouldn't it be wise to be at the forefront of these great Class Act Lawsuit opportunities? If Jon Berling, who is young and with a new baby at the time of writing this, doesn't have enough equity to sponsor a judge and a couple of attorneys - wouldn't it be nice to add the equity of Jen Ross and LaDonna Eubanks as respondents to these Class Act Law Suits?Another option I entertained was our local 9 News Solves Problems. The public was going to loath Jon and Jen and LaDonna as a news anchor stands in my condo, describing the daily hardship I endure due to obvious Building Code violations. I now suspected that if outside architects were allowed to study existing buildings, say, to install a new underlayment, then perhaps the architects would realize that existing buildings do not follow the building plans stored with the City. Architects might come to the conclusion that City Inspectors take bribes. Was that the reason I was faced with so much opposition? The next day I obtained my building plans from Central Records and called Eubanks to set up an appointment.The Attorney LurkingA warning email to cease and desist was in my mailbox."It has been brought to my attention by numerous staff members that you are not satisfied with their handling of your noise complaint. In reviewing the facts, it is my opinion that this department is unable to assist you further. If you believe there is noise that is interfering with your quiet enjoyment of your home, then the law provides for the Boulder Police Department to respond to a complaint called in and investigate the allegations. If there is noise, the nature of which is unacceptable, then a citation can be issued to the alleged offender.At this time I am requesting that you discontinue the unproductive, slanderous emails you have been sending and the phone calls in which you are yelling and using profanity toward the staff. If you do not immediately cease with this unruly behavior, I will have no choice but to seek an injunction from the court and to refer this matter to the Boulder Police Department for charges of harassment.While it may be frustrating that your alleged issues cannot be resolved by these staff members, it does not give you the right to behave in the manner you continue to demonstrate. I trust this correspondence will be all that is needed for you to refrain from further contact with the Planning and Development Services department. I thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation with this request.Regards,Karyn CarrollBoulderCityAttorney's OfficeSr.Assistant CityAttorney-Prosecution"I don't do the weekend puzzles because I get enough attorney-speak to exercise my brain. I don't think it was Karyn's job to prosecute for either slander or "harassing emails." She was merely pulling a Cease and Disease Scam on me. Except that I had absolutely no contact with her. She was ordering me to not contact others. She doesn't have absolute and arbitrary powers. It should be possible to file a Motion for Mistrial Investigation even before an Advisory Hearing or any charges are filed.Karyn had engaged in Civil Rights Violation Under Color of Authority. 42 U.S.C 1983 discusses civil action when there is deprivation of rights. A couple of years back I would have imagined that the Federal Supreme Court would uphold my rights. A Federal lawsuit looked like a form of insanity to me now. Much like coming before the heads of the Mafia to complain that their people had broken my leg, only to leave with a broken arm.Karyn striked me as a sociopath. That would make her compatible with the Boulder City Attorney. I had observed him during Council Meetings. His tiny predatory eyes would move back and forth like a spider always assessing which insect is how close to which of its webs.Karyn taught me that whenever and wherever any part of society malfunction, look no further than the nearest attorney. The hourly wages "earned" by attorneys are the basis for all that is corrupt in the world. We've had two thousand years of corruption and this book aims at giving birth to a new world.I also learned how important it was to have a Sheriff who is an elective of the People, and who doesn't require Federal protection to intervene with the City.Denverhad an appointed Sheriff. They also had "nine out of ten cops good." Calling 911 is like playing a Russian Rolette. Did you invite one of the demoralized nine good ones over, or did you get the one rapist/thief coming to a scene of vulnerability?Of course, I learned that the Courts can remove any Sheriff that doesn't work for them. I was convinced that Sheriff Arpayo ofArizonawas innocent. His first attorney asked to retire. Attorneys don't retire unless the Judge demands that they participate in crimes. Arpayo's second attorney plead guilty against Arpayo's own conviction and desires. An undercover cop got a confession from the Judge's wife that it was personal.Three other Sheriffs were in prison at the same time. With criminals presiding it was hard to tell if they were guilty of anything. When Chief of Police Pat Sullivan ofAurora,COwas charged with drug trafficking and prostitute trafficking he got nothing but probation. That makes me think these Sheriffs are innocent. The courts can replace any of them. I can't imagine the Schubert types appreciating a KKK controlled police force everywhere. Yet their own greed pushes them towards these scenarios time after time.Karyn might be able to deter local TV stations and news reporters. Much like me, they would also know that her letter is fraudulent. But, much like me they would know that the entire system is corrupt and counter productive. The courts allow journalists to exist as long as they aren't directly confronted. Should they dislike the information given by any newspaper, the courts have the power to financially bankrupt that newspaper. Of course, with Trump in power, there is an attempt to reign in the media, make it more like it is inRussia, with only controlled information getting to the public.This buys Karyn time. It means that I have to write every other media outlet in the country. Each City has a dysfunctional Building Code Enforcement Department and a local media outlet. One email, sent to multiple journalists and editors should generate several informative articles. All they have to do is educate the public regarding their civil rights and building code violations. The local City Attorney would not be on guard for that and would not be involved.The Building Code Enforcement Department inBoulderdoes not take any written complaints. There is no record of any statements by residents. You simply have to "call Jon." If Jon bothers to return a call, he may or may not report the problem, he may or may not correctly open tickets or report how the situation was "resolved." All these are telltale signs of attorney intervention. If Builders are correct in stating that City Inspectors are notorious for taking bribes, that would be due to the interest attorneys take in them. It would make them immune to prosecution in the courts. Most other sectors, disconnected from attorney interests, don't dare take bribes.The natural response is to contact local newspapers in other cities around the county, as well as national newspapers such as the N.Y. Times. During the time I was fighting Former Judge Arkin I got scores of newspaper articles written as a result of approaching these journalists. My favorite one was a N.Y. Times article "There is a Problem with Attorney Licensing." I had written them at 2am. By noon I had a professional article show up at my Facebook page. None of the articles mentioned Former Judge Arkin. None of them dared be as express as I was. The courts are merely keeping newspapers around for as long as they are cordial. An adverse article could get a newspaper sued to the ground. But journalists always found something to write about. Those who read a lot could probably read between the lines.However, if the Shubert Pharaohs were to eliminate all building code violations against me instantly, it would still be eight to twelve weeks before I could close my windows. The ceiling was steeped in sulfates and other chemicals. I preferred to have the Schuberts heat up my home for the time being. The car was fine for now. I would be writing a book sometime in the future - and surely that would put the Building Compliance Department under resident scrutiny..

Building is much cheaper. But consider the following:Builders are overworked and understaffed, and may not take on small projectsBuilding takes timeYou will need an independent inspector you can trust, as the City Inspectors are notorious for taking bribes. You could end up with a dud…..Here’s how the city makes money off of funky buildings:8.5 Jon in the BoxHow to Get a City to WorkJon Bergling, Building Code Compliance Specialist Supervisor for the City ofBoulder, says that flooring is purely cosmetics.

We've had two thousand years of corruption and this book aims at giving birth to a new world.I also learned how important it was to have a Sheriff who is an elective of the People, and who doesn't require Federal protection to intervene with the City.Denverhad an appointed Sheriff. They also had "nine out of ten cops good." Calling 911 is like playing a Russian Rolette. Did you invite one of the demoralized nine good ones over, or did you get the one rapist/thief coming to a scene of vulnerability?Of course, I learned that the Courts can remove any Sheriff that doesn't work for them. I was convinced that Sheriff Arpayo ofArizonawas innocent. His first attorney asked to retire. Attorneys don't retire unless the Judge demands that they participate in crimes. Arpayo's second attorney plead guilty against Arpayo's own conviction and desires. An undercover cop got a confession from the Judge's wife that it was personal.Three other Sheriffs were in prison at the same time. With criminals presiding it was hard to tell if they were guilty of anything. When Chief of Police Pat Sullivan ofAurora,COwas charged with drug trafficking and prostitute trafficking he got nothing but probation. That makes me think these Sheriffs are innocent. The courts can replace any of them. I can't imagine the Schubert types appreciating a KKK controlled police force everywhere. Yet their own greed pushes them towards these scenarios time after time.Karyn might be able to deter local TV stations and news reporters. Much like me, they would also know that her letter is fraudulent. But, much like me they would know that the entire system is corrupt and counter productive. The courts allow journalists to exist as long as they aren't directly confronted. Should they dislike the information given by any newspaper, the courts have the power to financially bankrupt that newspaper. Of course, with Trump in power, there is an attempt to reign in the media, make it more like it is inRussia, with only controlled information getting to the public.This buys Karyn time. It means that I have to write every other media outlet in the country. Each City has a dysfunctional Building Code Enforcement Department and a local media outlet. One email, sent to multiple journalists and editors should generate several informative articles. All they have to do is educate the public regarding their civil rights and building code violations. The local City Attorney would not be on guard for that and would not be involved.The Building Code Enforcement Department inBoulderdoes not take any written complaints. There is no record of any statements by residents. You simply have to "call Jon." If Jon bothers to return a call, he may or may not report the problem, he may or may not correctly open tickets or report how the situation was "resolved." All these are telltale signs of attorney intervention. If Builders are correct in stating that City Inspectors are notorious for taking bribes, that would be due to the interest attorneys take in them. It would make them immune to prosecution in the courts. Most other sectors, disconnected from attorney interests, don't dare take bribes.The natural response is to contact local newspapers in other cities around the county, as well as national newspapers such as the N.Y. Times. During the time I was fighting Former Judge Arkin I got scores of newspaper articles written as a result of approaching these journalists. My favorite one was a N.Y. Times article "There is a Problem with Attorney Licensing." I had written them at 2am. By noon I had a professional article show up at my Facebook page. None of the articles mentioned Former Judge Arkin. None of them dared be as express as I was. The courts are merely keeping newspapers around for as long as they are cordial. An adverse article could get a newspaper sued to the ground. But journalists always found something to write about. Those who read a lot could probably read between the lines.However, if the Shubert Pharaohs were to eliminate all building code violations against me instantly, it would still be eight to twelve weeks before I could close my windows. The ceiling was steeped in sulfates and other chemicals. I preferred to have the Schuberts heat up my home for the time being. The car was fine for now. I would be writing a book sometime in the future - and surely that would put the Building Compliance Department under resident scrutiny..

In the United States City Inspectors are notorious for taking bribes. Over here you might get a brand new house but the walls are full of mold because the developer saved on windows. You may get a house with EIFES - the best insulation out there. But your house is full of moisture because the developer saved some steps. Some buildings here in Colorado are built without proper columns to save developers money - and the buildings shake and break up…Here’s my experience:8.5 Jon in the BoxHow to Get a City to WorkJon Bergling, Building Code Compliance Specialist Supervisor for the City ofBoulder, says that flooring is purely cosmetics. There are no building codes for flooring. Sorry, he can't help.I spoke before the Boulder City Council. If they were aware that Jon Bergling was fleecing me they didn't offer any correction. In fact, they offered absolutely nothing. It was not an election year. They remained silent waiting for me to sit down.That evening they busied themselves with the application of a Developer. The City staff came back stating that the development is unsustainable. There is no existing infrastructure to support it. It would cause problems in terms of parking, traffic, water, sewer and in all other aspects of living together. What should have been a speedy "No" vote became an elongated and twisted ordeal.Jen Burton was a new arrival. She appeared extremely worried as she brought up what was apparently a problem: that should the Council fail to authorize this development then the developer may not make a second proposition for this City! A second Councilman, an attorney, I suspect, went on tandem withBurton. It was hard for me to understand what his arguments were, as he was slightly more sophisticated thenBurton, and likely trained in "Attorney Speak."The three natives embarked on a muted, hard to follow discussion. Applebeum suggested that the City requires smaller condos, not the luxurious condos that we always end up with. "These discussions will keep ending up in the same spot each time," he worried.At this pointBurtonemployed a face typically reserved for USPS employees as they attempt sabotage waiting lines. It was a mixture of stupidity and bewilderment. "I'm going to vote Yes," she stated with devoted determination.That evening the Council was talking before a full room. The downstairs lobby streamed the meeting to a room packed with residents. Most of them have come to dissuade the Council from their reluctance to authorize Co-op developments that are large enough to deliver a financially viable housing solution for residents. All were highly educated. Most have been dismayed with the Council for a long time, accusing it of selling out the City and over-developing it.I believe it was at this point that Councilwoman Morzel offered that the same developer has sent her checks too, but that she had returned them all to him. I suspect that she was talking about undisclosed campaign "donations." Our legislators and Executives have relieved themselves from the need disclose the sources of their campaign contributions.The year before Morzel held an e-Town event to celebrate the initiation of her new composting program for the city. We enjoyed gourmet appetizers, the type of food Council members commonly eat at meetings. We then divided into groups to ask questions regarding the new composting regulations. It became almost instantly apparent that the regulations were half-baked and not well-thought-through. They were never implemented by the City.We then proceeded to an evening of empty gestures to green living topped by a raffle. We each got two pop-bottle lids with a number on them. We put one in the raffle bucket, or so we thought, and we kept one. When all of Morzel's office members have already gotten one ruffle gift our MC realized that her bucket was now empty. She suggested putting the lids back in the bucket and drawing second prizes for everyone. That's when residents realized they never actually participated in the ruffle.Morzel did keep her position after the elections. But perhaps she felt she had hit some type of ceiling in terms of conning the public. Perhaps something else prompted her to disassociate herself fromBurton's shamefully lame con-skills. Morzel suggested that she was going to vote "No." In the end the three old-timers voted No to the unwanted development.(NOTE TO EDITOR: A DESCERNING READER SHOULD BE ABLE TO READ THE FOLLOWING CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE LINES:BURTON: THESE WERE SOME FAT CAMPAIGN CHECKS. IF WE DON'T VOTE YES WE MIGHT NOT GET A SECOND OFFER LIKE THAT AGAIN.APPLEABEUM: I TRIED. THEY ARE GIVING ME FUNNY LOOKS.MORZEL: WE CAN KEEP THE CHECKS WE GOT FOR NOW. IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO STAY IN POWER. LET'S DO A NO VOTE.)People who Need Other PeopleIt was over a year later when an architect friend of mine suggested that while it was true that residents don't have to apply for licenses each time they replace their flooring, the City ofBoulderdoes follow applicable International Building Codes which Jon should have enforced in my case. The City also revises codes to adapt them toBoulderso there would never be any reason not to resolve my ordeal.I now realized that Jon's communication style was meant to find out what I do or don't know before he selects a response. I was left feeling uneasy and under-informed. I realized that after first contacting Jon by phone, we had played phone-tag for three weeks. It was not until, in one of my many messages, I mentioned that I had spoken to Jen from Rental Licensing. I mentioned that Jen said that Jon would come to conduct an inspection and that he was going to open a ticket for me and make everything right again. It was only then that Jon spoke to me on the phone, then showed up for the inspection.I went back to the City and learned that, without my knowledge Jon had indeed opened and closed a "Thermal" case against the Schuberts. He likely demanded that the Schuberts to be able to heat up their home to 63 degrees. He may have done so to keep Jen from Rental Licensing in the dark about his dealings. I found it comforting to think that perhaps Jon had to put much effort into keeping other City employees unaware of his adamant resistance to work. The ticket mentioned single layer of carpeting - likely the carpeting that Emilia kept for a couple of days.I asked Jen Ross from Jon's office to open a case for Sound Transmission between Units. I now feel that perhaps I need at least three different tickets: Sound Transmission between Units to prevent hardwood flooring; Thermal Transmission between Units to reinstate the insulation and underlayment; and Odor Transmission between Units just to make sure they have no excuses.Jen Ross said that Sound Transmission between Units had to do with loud parties. I should call the police, not the City. She will not open any tickets for me.I went back to the City and this time I sat in the conference room with LaDonna Eubanks, a Supervisor, while Bryan Holms, Senior Planer/Zoning Administrator, sat next to me and took notes. LaDonna suggested that I make an Open Records Request for my building plans. We could look at them together to determine whether any code violations occured.Bryanwrote down two emails that I could use. One was for the Planning and Development Services, the other for General City of Boulder Records. I wrote Planning and Development first.An unidentified team member answered that they have searched all building plans from 1983 and mine are not available. Jen Ross insisted that Jon Bergling had already looked at these non-existent plans and had already determined that there are no Building Code Violations. This felt like a strong, coordinated opposition to me. I noticed that when I search for my plat plans at the County, I search by developer or development name, not by year. My plat plans and building plans are both from 1984. Central Records confirmed the same; however I didn't realize that I should write them next. Instead I called Eubanks for help correcting the Planning and Development Services rebelion.Both Eubanks and her assistant told me that there were periods when the City was not required to keep building plans on record. I was not sure what to believe anymore. She said that it was my responsibility to supply the City with these plans. Somebody has them, she assured me, perhaps the developer.I felt that all that was required was to stand in my unit, experience the hot air coming from above and smell the corpse-like odors accompanied by deodorizers. Eubanks said that the only way to assert a Building Code Violation was to remove the flooring and she was not going to order that. Perhaps Eubanks felt that she needed to look at the plans to see how the insulation was arranged and whether there would be any reason to discard of it when gluing down engineered hardwood directly on my ceiling joists. She said that Jon Bergling had already conducted that physical inspection and did not find any Building Code Violations. She wouldn't help and suggested that I consult with an attorney.The November 7, 2017 election day was coming and I was not looking forward for another encounter with a corrupt Voting Office. Each time I would go to vote I would ask to vote electronically. I didn't trust them to count other ballots. Each time, the team would deny having a DVR; then they would deny knowing how to operate the DVR; then they would state that I'm not smart enough to operate the DVR; then they would say that Internet was down. In the end, they let me use the DVR to vote each time.The papers discussed similar behavior at the DNS - pushing Bernie Sanders away and putting forward Hillary Clinton, otherwise known as The Clintonite. The papers predicted that such shameless corruption could push voters to keep Trump in power for another term. I suddenly felt that perhaps that was not a bad idea. Democracy is only as good as the People who uphold it. I had too many fights on too many fronts. I wanted to see these smug, lying, shameless smiles wiped away. I may have been rush, but I drew my first weapon and mentioned Class-Act Lawsuits. I mentioned O'Neal.A Little Bird Told MeBeing a Real Estate Broker I made several builder friends. One of them told me that it was fine to buy brand new homes as long as I could supply my own inspection services. City Inspectors are notorious for taking bribes, he said. O'Neal bragged to this builder that he found a City Inspector who told him that he could "put these columns down as far as they go" and that's good enough. The owners of the new O'Neal Circle Condominiums inNorth Boulderdiscovered that their new building had moved. Their new windows broke, their new balconies cracked. The asbestos used for construction was now exposed. I heard of a mall that moved much the same way. "Two building a Class Act Law Suit make," I reasoned with Eubanks. Of course, attorneys have a generous budget for advertisement - so they should easily locate additional victims of moving buildings.AnotherColoradofiasco was the Eifes home cladding. Eifes is the best insulation for homes. It is a form of artificial stucco. Combined with the correct ventilation systems it makes for a great, long lasting insulation and easy to maintain, attractive cladding. For some reason the labor intensive Eifes claddings were not properly installed. Owners of brand new homes discovered that moisture was being wicked into their brand new homes and walls. This, in my mind, was a second Class Act lawsuit.The home my husband and I bought inSedaliahas an Eifes cladding. However, it was a home the builder built for himself and lived in for several years. The Eifes was well done. We had nice ventilation that allowed us to enjoy round-the-clock exchange of air with the outside without losing heat or cold. In fact, our entire Stoneridge development seemed to have been properly built.Another Class-Act law suit I could think of was for anyone who suffered noise nuisance due to hardwood flooring or inappropriate flooring upstairs. I suspect that the Codes are already in place and that a Sound Transmission between Units ticket addresses such nuisances to prevent them from ever happening.However, architects are not attorneys. If they have failed to adapt filing International Codes as to prevent Boulder City Residents from noise nuisance due to hardwood or inappropriate flooring options they can be sued. Or, if the architects maliciously amended the Codes as to purposely expose Boulder City Residents to noise nuisance then they can be sued for acting without good faith.Of course, attorneys make a lot of money each time the City refuses to intervene on behalf of residents. But perhaps residents were losing faith in the legal system's willingness to uphold their civil rights. Or perhaps they were getting educated regarding simple services that their City would have provided had it not been for bribes. Wouldn't it be wise to be at the forefront of these great Class Act Lawsuit opportunities? If Jon Berling, who is young and with a new baby at the time of writing this, doesn't have enough equity to sponsor a judge and a couple of attorneys - wouldn't it be nice to add the equity of Jen Ross and LaDonna Eubanks as respondents to these Class Act Law Suits?Another option I entertained was our local 9 News Solves Problems. The public was going to loath Jon and Jen and LaDonna as a news anchor stands in my condo, describing the daily hardship I endure due to obvious Building Code violations. I now suspected that if outside architects were allowed to study existing buildings, say, to install a new underlayment, then perhaps the architects would realize that existing buildings do not follow the building plans stored with the City. Architects might come to the conclusion that City Inspectors take bribes. Was that the reason I was faced with so much opposition? The next day I obtained my building plans from Central Records and called Eubanks to set up an appointment.The Attorney LurkingA warning email to cease and desist was in my mailbox."It has been brought to my attention by numerous staff members that you are not satisfied with their handling of your noise complaint. In reviewing the facts, it is my opinion that this department is unable to assist you further. If you believe there is noise that is interfering with your quiet enjoyment of your home, then the law provides for the Boulder Police Department to respond to a complaint called in and investigate the allegations. If there is noise, the nature of which is unacceptable, then a citation can be issued to the alleged offender.At this time I am requesting that you discontinue the unproductive, slanderous emails you have been sending and the phone calls in which you are yelling and using profanity toward the staff. If you do not immediately cease with this unruly behavior, I will have no choice but to seek an injunction from the court and to refer this matter to the Boulder Police Department for charges of harassment.While it may be frustrating that your alleged issues cannot be resolved by these staff members, it does not give you the right to behave in the manner you continue to demonstrate. I trust this correspondence will be all that is needed for you to refrain from further contact with the Planning and Development Services department. I thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation with this request.Regards,Karyn CarrollBoulderCityAttorney's OfficeSr.Assistant CityAttorney-Prosecution"I don't do the weekend puzzles because I get enough attorney-speak to exercise my brain. I don't think it was Karyn's job to prosecute for either slander or "harassing emails." She was merely pulling a Cease and Disease Scam on me. Except that I had absolutely no contact with her. She was ordering me to not contact others. She doesn't have absolute and arbitrary powers. It should be possible to file a Motion for Mistrial Investigation even before an Advisory Hearing or any charges are filed.Karyn had engaged in Civil Rights Violation Under Color of Authority. 42 U.S.C 1983 discusses civil action when there is deprivation of rights. A couple of years back I would have imagined that the Federal Supreme Court would uphold my rights. A Federal lawsuit looked like a form of insanity to me now. Much like coming before the heads of the Mafia to complain that their people had broken my leg, only to leave with a broken arm.Karyn striked me as a sociopath. That would make her compatible with the Boulder City Attorney. I had observed him during Council Meetings. His tiny predatory eyes would move back and forth like a spider always assessing which insect is how close to which of its webs.Karyn taught me that whenever and wherever any part of society malfunction, look no further than the nearest attorney.
