SUN GROVE RESORT VILLAGE
10134 W. Mohawk Ln.
Peoria, AZ 85382
Dangerous living conditions are being allowed to exist at a senior living facility in Peoria, Arizona. This property was recently repossessed in 2014 by Bank of America because the former owners filed for bankruptcy. This property was a part of the Oakdale Heights/AREI Ponzi Scam that defrauded 2,000 investors of $250 million in California largest real estate Ponzi scam. Twenty three senior living facilities were destroyed by the Ponzi scam which hurt 2,500 seniors living in those facilities. The mastermind of the Ponzi Scam, James Koenig, was sentenced in 2013 to 43 years in prison because of the money scam and elder abuse.
Sun Grove Resort Village (SGRV) was one of those properties involved in the Ponzi Scam. The 20 owners were originally investors in the Ponzi Scam but took ownership of the senior living property after the Ponzi Scam collapsed in 2008. The SGRV owners allowed property to deterate and failed to maintain the property because they lost $4.5 million on their original investment. The intent was to sell the property which never happened. The senior living property is nearly empty because of the bad and dangerous property conditions.
The living conditions continue to deteriorate at SGRV as documented with the recent Kitchen and Dining Room Inspections.
KITCHEN INSPECTION
08/28/2014
Sun Grove Resort Village (SGRV) is presently being operated by a bank property management company after being repossessed by the bank. Fannie Mae pulled the senior living facility from an auction due to the poor property conditions (bad electrical wiring, dilapidated buildings, uneven walkways, bug infestation, and toxic mold). The senior living facility is up for sale. The poor living conditions at SGRV are highlighted by the recent Maricopa County Environmental Services inspection of the kitchen.
The 08/28/2014 inspection revoked the permit for the restaurant but allowed the SGRV eating area to remain in operation for a month in order to fix the following problems:
1. Broken chemical dispensers,
2. Drain lines under sink held together by duck tape,
3. Hot water supply to sink is broken,
4. Piping under sink not using proper materials,
5. Steamer under hood is broken,
6. Hand washing sink broken,
7. Refrigerator/freezer not a proper commercial unit but is meant for home usage,
8. Laminate counters are in disrepair,
9. Beverage/coffee station is in poor condition and not easily cleanable.
The reported stated County legal action may result from this inspection.
KITCHEN INSPECTION
09/30/2014
The second inspection on 09/30/2014 showed enough improvement to issue a restaurant permit which allows the senior living facility's kitchen to continue to operate. However, not all problem issues were repaired. The County has allowed the senior living facility to continue to try to find a buyer in order to finish repairing the kitchen and dining room problems.
The SGRV property manager, Michael Mednansky, stated that the plan is renovate the dining room by the next owner. It appears a 90-day time limit for the change of ownership or final resolution to the kitchen and dining room problems at SGRV was set. The last inspection states that SGRV is continuing to face legal actions from the Maricopa Environmental Services.
SUMMARY
Just because the bank's management company is running this bad and dangerous senior living facility the County should require all the kitchen and dining room problems and dangers to be immediately repaired. The County is allowing SGRV to continue to operate the dinning room until the end of November, 2014 which continues to put the few seniors that live there and the public that eats there at risk. The Maricopa County Restaurant Inspectors have set a 90-day time limit from the first inspection so on 11/28/2014 if the property is not sold or the kitchen and dining room problems are not totally repaired then the restaurant permit is revoked, the kitchen is closed, and legal actions will take place.
It is anticipated that this poorly maintained and dilapidated senior living facility will close the end of November, 2014 because it will never find a buyer. It is believed the bank will eventually cut its losses by closing SGRV and destroying this very dangerous and dilapidated senior living facility.
The SGRV is on borrowed time until November 28, 2014 to have the kitchen and dinning room stay open because of the continued deteriorating and dangerous eating conditions there. SGRV needs to be immediately closed and the buildings need to be destroyed in order to protect the elderly residents and public from the HAZARDS and RISKS caused by this dangerous senior living facility.
