You have now admitted on this public forum that you knowingly obstructed the proper delivery of mail to an addressee, your landlord.
Under Federal law, obstructing correspondence…including opening, hiding, or destroying mail addressed to someone else before it reaches them…is a felony if done intentionally.
You knew the mail was addressed to your landlord…an individual you clearly despise. You opened it and read through it closely, knowing it was not intended for you.
Simply opening misdelivered mail is not criminal as long as you do not keep the mail or use the information inside.
You did both.
Accidentally opening something and going "**bleep** I don't owe anyone $1600. Oh wait." and handing it to the neighbor is not a criminal act.
Maybe the post office should start delivering it to the right box or street. They deliver mine to the wrong street sometimes. They even tried to send my spouse's green card back. They're idiots. They hire people who obviously can't even read.
Tax time is always fun when you live in a ghetto apartment with a slumlord who is a wealthy parasite who only improves parts of his property on taxpayer-funded programs.
In addition to the cockroaches and drafty doors and windows and mold and cigaratte and weed smoke leaking into your apartment, you get everyone's W2s because they didn't fill out a change of address form at the post office.
I returned over 100 W2s to the post office that were for other people. Just one person got 27 W2s in a single tax year. That has to be some sort of fraud or something. Who gets 27 W2s?
I was getting people's bank statements and carrying those down. There was always a pile of things like this.
In one case there was a parole office in Michigan that was sending a SORA letter to a guy on the pervert list who had lived in that apartment, which was across the street from an elementary school. Nobody bothered to file new criminal charges and he was living right across the street from an elementary school.
Two landlords ago, the slumlord with the millions of cockroaches, he recently deleted the page on his website about his business partner, who was convicted of felonies for defrauding federal CARES Act programs. He was ordered to pay back only half the money he stole from US federal taxpayers, and even though the penalty was up to 12 years in prison, he didn't even go to prison, they only gave him 22 months of probation.
This is what happens to felons who are rich and steal from people. No prison, pay back half of what you stole. Oh but if you arenn't rich, then we all know what happens.
The slumlord's description for search engines says this:
" 1. Find distressed multi-family assets; 2. Acquire; and 3. Clean up 4. Raise rents 4. Refinance 5. Repeat"
He hasn't been able to raise rents on those units in over two years, in fact he lowered them $50.
He called me the other day, over a year after I moved out due to his neglect and the building behind in such bad shape we had millions of cockroaches, raw sewage backups, toilets that would break down throughout the building while he went to India and ignored us until I complained to the city, and floods and leaking roofs.
He asked how I kept the black mold from taking over the whole apartment. I said "I had to run a dehumidifier constantly. I also had to bleach the bucket out to deal with aspergillus mold. The only reason I tolerated the squalid conditions at your building is because a decent apartment was at least $500 more expensive."
He didn't call to apologize or fix the structural issues; he called to extract free labor and maintenance troubleshooting from a tenant he chased away with raw sewage and cockroaches.
He had told me that he had to rip the carpet out and dig into the subfloor. Maybe someone else sued him. Who knows? Landlords are some real pieces of **bleep**.
He has absolutely no intention of cleaning anything up. He tried to raise rents but that only worked for like a year or two before everyone who would live in such a godawful place couldn't pay it or said "**bleep** it." and left.
He's barely able to pay his mortgages much less fix anything. The only time anything gets fixed, and it's usually a band-aid slapped onto a very big problem (like digging up the hallway to replace a segment of collapsed pipe whereas the rest was as old as the part that collapsed), is if the city is after him.
There were dead cockroaches all over the hall from him chasing down individual bugs and hosing them with Raid.
