Word on the street is that someone was trying to steal the furnace or hot water tank from one on the vacant houses built by Cleveland Housing Network.  (NOTE: Natural gas can be welled in East Cleveland and Euclid - several allotments in Euclid still run off their own wells)

From EJB: My recollection of the homes is they were built by Cleveland Housing Network for low-income families for around $135,000. There's about $80,000 in construction costs.

During my administration we learned that Cleveland Housing Network was fucking 5th Third Bank on the mortgages by qualifying people who weren't qualified to purchase them. In the case I recall Cleveland Housing Network qualified a man who earned minimum wage along with his son and girlfriend as a family. The son and girlfriend worked part-time minimum wage jobs. The guy lost the house in a year but Cleveland Housing Network got its money and 5th Third Bank got a bad loan. Since then some of the new homes have been chronically vacant.

If you've got more information please share it.  (NOTE: address 1073 E 125 -  Third Federal "bought" house back from one of many owners )

Check the Ohio Secretary of State Business Search for NOAH II LLC. It was set up to dissolve after 12 years. Nothing under Articles of Incorporation about EXACTLY what they did, the ubiquitous RANDALL SHORR attorney to the scum non profit mafia filed the paper work. All the defrauding of the banks carefully hidden. The mailing address ONLY 2999 Payne Ave Suite 306 gives it away. Guess who signed off on the dissolution. None other than our local hero destroying Cleveland neighborhoods one house at a time. Rob Curry.

The shady NOAH II LLC (aka Cleveland Housing Network) got a "loan" from Key Bank in 6/21/2004 for $$$$$$$$$1,700,000. ONE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. Those were the days my friend CHN thought they'd never end. And with those funds CHN Crime Partners slapped up 13 poorly constructed 3 bedroom colonials with low quality materials that they love so much houses in dangerous crime infested neighborhoods. And sold them to poor black folks at obscene prices. REALLY OBSCENE! Like $150,000 in 2007. In EAST CLEVELAND. And of. f East 55 in Cleveland. One of them was the famous exploding colonial located at 1073 E 125 which CLEVELAND HOUSING NETWORK sold on 12/20/2004 for $139,000. Yup that's right. It was foreclosed on 6/29/2012.

Here are the rest: addresses and sale prices. Cleveland Housing Network so dedicated to improving their bank account they defrauded the banks and the new owners. CHN has so discredited themselves with local banks they are no longer able to run THIS kind of scam as no lenders will touch them for sales of new construction homes. But the owners of the 13 NOAH II LLC AKA CHN CRIME PARTNERS been foreclosed on OR will never be able to sell their houses for what they paid for them. Imagine how the meeting went between these trusting African American wanting to realize the American dream and own their own home and how shamlessly they were played at the CHN Crime Partners embassy at 2999 Payne Avenue. When someone WiTH NO ETHICS OR CONSCIENCE being paid with our tax dollars funneled through HUD sat on the other side of a desk and tricked them into signing the contract and the mortgage. And CHN pocketed the CA$H. And di$$olved the corporation and headed stealthily into the night hoping never to have these 13 sales tracked back to them. Thirteen houses sold for 3 times their market value by the all compassionate money grubbing unscrupulous opportunistic WHITE leaders of CHN crime partners Rob Curry and Kathy Urban Montebank. To African Americans who bought their PT Barnum sales pitch. CHN knew that inevitable foreclosures and demoes would eventually happen leaving the banks including Third Federal and Key holding the bag. And then culminating in an explosion that destroyed several homes including 1073 E 125.
