Slumlord ALERT - Arson on Burlington Revisited in Brief

Torrence Slumlords aided by LADBS Inspectors. A 'clean up' crew falsely filed & altered municipal LAFD documents under Garcetti/Feuer Admin.


In Ok Song, listed as an 'agent for service' on LADBS Code Enforcement Violations case #483023, (non-ownership).

The LAMC code Habitability housing inspection was conducted on 10/14/2012, just a day prior to the Song family’s admission of guilt, by way of a quick panic phone call to see if the 'Ma & Pa scammers' could procure a 'hotel [operations] certification permit ' , [simply] over the phone. Nevertheless, that telephonic exchange was documented by LAHD, an authoritative housing administration agency that is to be in accordance with Federal compliance laws.




LAFD Arson Counter terrorism Investigation #2013-07-0113, incident date of July 9th , 2013, just five hours after In Ok Song was served a Summons and Complaint by Torrence Sheriffs Processors at her Palos Verdes home in a multi-million property value suburb near Hermosa Beach. In Ok Song is listed as 'Owner' , based on a June 19th, 2013 50% deed conveyance gift transfer, just three weeks prior to the blaze. Otherwise , she had relinquished her ownership capacity in December 2010, despite continued illegal rental collections for non LAMC habitable and non RSO registered rental housing market units in LA City.


The Song family persisted to issue entrance keys to 'subtenants' for my home in Mac Arthur Park Los Angeles, in exchange for unlawful rental cash despite a 2010 transfer of ownership and a new rental contract for the single family home as of January 7 2013 with a primary tenant for the new owner
A blaze was staged by an illegal alien living under an alias through Homeland Security. He gained entrance to my home with keys issued by the Song family during an illegal and hostile coup related to LADBS code enforcement Violations case #483023. The fire was staged within my home by the electrician /cab driver, in an unauthorized holdover room that had been illegally padlocked at the direction of In Ok Song , during July 9th , 2013.

In a phone call I made to municipal housing authority agency, customer service request #294401 Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety {above} , (LADBS) inspections request phone line in AUGUST 2012, I filed a request to inspect for neglected property maintenance and suspicious housing practices occurring at my rental residence, resulting in continuous non -operable heat. I was frequently told that if I did not like it, to “move”.

In Ok Song sought to illegally constructively evict me in October/ December of 2012 .

She perjuriously alleged in her multiple verified filings to be the owner of my rental residence.

When I presented the Honorable Judge Ongkeko, CA Superior Court, [LA], [with the deed to my rental home recorded with the LA County Recorders Office; Norwalk, CA], the judge ruled in my favor without prejudice.

. .

A non owner can not evict a property renter. It is the property tenant on premises whose capacity is more akin to ‘owner’ than even a power of attorney , CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE 1940.2 -1940.6 and 1940.3 .

A power of attorney, likewise must maintain written legal proof of rental permission before gifting rental monies to themselves from the estate holding parcel to a Relatives property and must be in accordance with all landlord tenant laws.


My neighbors as well were suffering broken windows.

I stated that I live alone and was paying $850 rent monthly to a woman by the name of In Ok Song

whose immediate family was INSISTING to be referenced as OWNER!


DECEMBER 06, 2010 A relinquishment of ownership and transferal for DEED OWNERSHIP of my rental home to new owner Jun Sik Shin, [my rental agreement landlord as of 1/2013] by the former part owner, In Ok Song [10/2009 - 12/2010].

Notice the return address (top left corner of document) is not listed as the Torrence address that In Ok Song alleges to receive mail for her relative at.
As power of attorney for a relation the mail should be forwarded to the representatives' address. Frequently fascimile copies of transcripts and records registered with the LA CO Recorders Office are mailed to the ownership party at the address to which the representative or agent works/lives.
***
It appears as if Jun Shin actually lived at 690 Burlington, yet that was never the case, but helps to distinguish the character of double standards that apply
when passing a single family home off to the public as an apartment hotel without proper city or county oversight.




With illegal tenancies comes illegal overcrowding.


In Ok Song admits she is loopholing municipal and Federal housing law telephonically [4th paragraph below],

***


Citing 10 additional ‘rooms’ as ‘units', In Ok Song also knowingly falsely alleges herself to be an owner of the property when she is only then a former owner with a power-of-attorney for the new owner.



I have attested honestly that she did so upon my private residential and real property without my permission or any legal merit, with as many as four persons per room.



She manufactured a story of 'sisterhood' to keep housing administration official inquiry at bay,...

,while continuing to joust my tenancy around in eviction courts to harm me.

On June 14th, 2013 I took action and issued a three days notice at the Song Family to CEASE, DESIST and VACATE their illegal fraudulent housing scam and to remove their non-municipal-recognized 'subtenancies' off of my private rental property.

The Song family, (who then owned many unlawfully managed multi-unit properties), refused to attorn, despite massive vacancies at other property locations fully deed owned by In Ok, her husband Kak Hon and their son Phillip. In June 2013, the property 669 S Burlington, a neighboring SFD [with a 2 guest room maximum LADBS issued usage permit] was operating as a 15 unit 'hotel' with as many as 4 vacancies. The property had been swiped from the Jun Sik Shin portfolio and liquidated between April and June of 2013 despite tenant reports of continued rental collections paid to the Song family via Phillip Songs' Bank of America checking account.

Five days later on June 19th, 2013 In Ok Song gifted themselves a 50% stake deed ownership, to prepare for a court battle over 'possession' of my rental home.

They sought to represent the property as a 11 unit boarding hotel, despite outstanding violations issued for the reason stated, operating without municipal authorization as a un-lawful rental market multi-family property.

At the same time she did not cease profiting from illegal rental collections for non-registered and illegal municipal market housing units on the local rental market, (see fourth paragraph down, dated 10/15/2012 )

The LAMC code Habitability housing inspection was conducted on 10/14/2012, just a day prior to the Song family’s admission of guilt, by way of a PERCEIVED quick panic phone call to see if she could procure a hotel certification [simply] over the phone. Nevertheless, that telephonic exchange was documented by LAHD, an authoritative housing administration agency that is to be in accordance with Federal compliance laws.

In addition, California Health & Safety Code Section 50651 and Ordinance 174,477 (effective 3/21/2002) provide for tenant relocation fees when a local enforcement agency orders the unit vacated due to an immediate threat to the tenants’ health and safety and the owner fails or refuses to pay the relocation fee to displaced tenants. The fees may be paid by the enforcement agency issuing the order and shall be recovered from the owner at the rate of 1½ times the original relocation fee paid.

I originally located my future residence based on a ‘for Rent’ sign posting at the front gate, street-side in January 2010.

I rented from Jun Sik Shin and In Ok Song, residents of Torrence, CA, without a written rental agreement from January 2010 to December 2012. As agreed upon initially, I committed to a two year verbal agreement at that rental rate.

In 2011, 2012, 2013 the ownerof my rental home was then 100% the property of Jun Sik Shin, a resident of Seoul, South Korea with a power-of-attorney issued to In Ok Song. I received no change of ownership notice in any of those years.

Single family homes that have been partitioned into ‘units’ or reconfigured from the inside with partition walls, can not qualify to market as a LA municipal rental housing without first getting LADBS certificate of occupancy approval which requires strict regulation and adherence to construction, zoning. Special historical provisions are subject to the foreclosure moratorium of LA Municipal Ordinance #180441, and ALL FEDERAL HOUSING LAWS AND PROTECTIONS. Single family homes in the R1 category can not be divided into three units or more, e.g. 10 'units', etc...

In December 2012, I negotiated a new written rental agreement alongside the Song family and their attorney Chad Biggins, of Chad Biggins Law Offices located in Koreatown.

Because In Ok Song had tried to evict me based just prior to Christmas of that year twice, I wanted to assure that she would not be entitled on my rental agreement as the owner and that her relationship to my property’s owner was as an acting power of attorney, regulated by US law.

The new written rental agreement stipulated that a power of attorney/agent for owner, Jun Sik Shin, would maintain the property according to the basic LAMC habitability codes, such as operable heat, operable plumbing. In Ok Song is listed as the agent representative for ownership, and one who acts with the capacity of a power of attorney.

A power of attorney can not evict a tenant exclusively without qualified legal representation on behalf of the true and actual owner, Jun Sik Shin, in a courtroom of the law. She was not successful at doing so as evidenced in May-June 2013 at LA Superior Court, (below).




The Song family frequently skirted housing authority in evictions filing against numerous other persons over the years without exposing her illegal activities. It is believed that she had long been persistently gifting herself

and then began perjuring the courts as the Obama-era housing mortgage foreclosure crisis began .


What follows is just one example of the laxity and ease with which the Song family coerced LA municipal agents to divert legal enforcement for slumlording

PERJURY : [below], An LADBS approved six month [180 day extension] application for a vacation easement for a non-owner applying as owner, in exchange for a fee paid to LADBS Inspector Donald Wong on March 27th, 2012.

The blaze at my home occurred on the 104th/ 180 day extension to note lawful compliance with LADBS case #483023. No work was ever consummated for the listed necessary repairs while rental collections were ceaseless.

a 'GIFT' transferral of 50% ownership by In Ok Song for the Song family piggybank, just three weeks before a lethal five alarm blaze broke out at my home, rendering me perilously trapped within.

See violation #8/ Notice also that a violation of the certificate of occupancy is listed as violation #3 on the addendum as it carries over from a page turn., mirrors the original case 483023 order violation #5 , [below],

screenshot_2016-03-02-09-05-00


Also notice that none of the other violations were removed because improvement/repair/nuisance abatement was never recorded by LADBS. the implication is that Case #483023 can simply go away by ‘Fire’, seen as an (unlawful) LA municipal recusal of the Song family against liability




I had reason to believe in 2010 that Jun Sik Shin was In Ok Songs real name, because she often noted that she preferred to called 'Judy' and her husband Kak Hon Song enjoys being called 'Bruce'.

In fact, I was unaware of In Ok Song to be her true name and began to ponder her as B. Takiguchi,
