The Real Faces of Elder Abuse: TOXIC MOLD AT SENIOR LIVING FACILITY - SUN GROVE RESORT VILLAGE

TOXIC MOLD PROBLEMS AT SGRV

Sun Grove Resort Village (SGRV) is a senior living facility located at 10134 W. Mohawk Ln., Peoria, AZ 85382. SGRV was built nearly 30 years ago. SGRV consists of 11 buildings which house 86 separate apartments and a main club house/office/dining room. In May, 2006 the former 20 SGRV owners purchased the property for $4.1 million as an investment from the Oakdale Heights/AREI Ponzi Scam. The SGRV owners took possession of the property in 2008 when the Ponzi Scam collapsed. They had to put an additional $400,000 in order to keep the senior living facility in operation until they could sell it after the recession. The SGRV was poorly maintained and the seniors moved out of the distressed and dangerous senior living facility. The property never could be sold. The bank repossessed the senior living property this year and is now trying to sell this “slum property.”

The SGRV property has extensive mold problems plus poor and dangerous living conditions of: bad electrical wiring, dilapidated buildings, poor kitchen conditions, obstructed walkways, a cockroach and bug problem, and poorly maintained landscaping. The Sun Grove Resort Village (SGRV) mold and property problems are extreme health hazards to the residents and the public. The SGRV residents need to be evacuated and the SGRV buildings need to be destroyed.

SGRV MOLDY FOUNTAIN

The Maricopa County Environmental Services was called out for a mosquito infestation complaint on 05/20/2011. The inspector found mold in the front SGRV fountain that was causing the mosquito problem. This mold in the front fountain was found again by the Maricopa County Environmental Services on another mosquito infestation complaint on 06/20/2014.

We had toxic mold in our SGRV apartment that was making us and our dogs sick so we did a mold test. Our 10/18/2009 Pro-Lab

STACHYBOTRYS MOLD
"TOXIC BLACK MOLD"
WAS FOUND AT SGRV.

SSPTM Inc. apartment mold study kit found unacceptable levels of the molds Bipolaris and Drechslera in our SGRV apartment. We found the worst "Toxic Black Mold" STACHYBOTRYS at SGRV which can kill people .

The Advanced Mold Inspections Com states: “BIOPLARIS: A widespread fungus that is most frequently associated was grasses, plant material, decaying food, and soil. It is common to both indoor and outdoor environments. Older obsolete names include Dreschslera and Helminthosporium. This fungus produces large spores which would be expected to be deposited in the upper respiratory tract. Various species of this fungus can produce mycotoxin – sterigamatocystin which has been shown to produce liver and kidney damage when ingested by laboratory animals. DRESCHLERA: Conidia (spores) dimension 40-120 x 17-28 microns. Found on grasses, grains and decaying food. It can occasionally cause a corneal infection of the eye.”

We have testimony from the following people that SGRV had a mold problem, they are:

1. 07/29/11 – John Eggen - son of former SGRV resident Lil Eggen, found mold in his mother’s apartment.

2. 11/15/12 – DeDe Stockton - former SGRV Concierge for one year saw mold in SGRV apartments.

3. 11/24/12 – Fredda Sharp-former SGRV Activities Director for 5 years saw mold in SGRV apartments.

SCOTT GREEN

Fredda Sharp was told by SGRV’s manager and 2005 Medicare Fraud Felon, Scott Green, to keep the mold problem quiet. SGRV's Executive Director, Scott Green, was terminated on 08/28/12 when it was discovered that he pled guilty to stealing $70,000 in nearly 2,700 bogus Medicare Claims in 2005.

NEW SGRV TOXIC MOLD DISCOVERY

Recently, toxic mold was found in the SGRV men's bathroom during the repair of a plumbing leak this year. The picture of the SGRV toxic mold leak was provided by the former SGRV Sales Manager, Lucy Huerta. The toxic mold was not properly cleaned up which puts all the elderly residents living at SGRV at extreme risk in the main building and in the dining room.

Toxic Mold was found in the men's bathroom this year, which is located in SGRV's main building near the dining room.

THE SGRV TOXIC MOLD COVER-UP

SGRV’s attorney, Scott E. Williams, hired a very small inspection company, ENVIRONMENT CONSULTING, INC. (ECI), to inspect our SGRV apartment for mold. The Arizona Corporation Commission records show ECI was incorporated in September, 2008 and did business out of Miranda Mayo’s (the owner) house. ECI’s Brandon White did the mold test at our SGRV apartment on 10/16/09. He falsely stated that he found no mold in his 10/20/09 ECI mold report.

SCOTT E. WILLIAMS

This mold report was simply a phony mold report that was produced by attorney Scott E. Williams to disprove our nationally known mold inspection company, Pro-Lab. SSPTM, Inc.’s, positive mold results. ECI was out of business on 02/03/11 because the Arizona Corporation Commission closed the company for nonpayment of their annual dues. ECI closed BEFORE HUD’s Catherine Ross-Perry verified the authenticity of the ECI mold report on 05/03/11. Also, ECI used the mold lab, Tierra Science, which had been closed due to inaccurate tests. The ECI mold report has no credibility because it was free, the ECI inspector Brandon White went to work for Scott E. Williams, ECI and Tierra Science Lab were closed, and the inspector Brandon White lied to HUD and the Arrowhead Justice Court. HUD failed to discover that the ECI mold report was phony documentation generated by SGRV’s Felon, Scott Green, and SGRV’s attorney, Scott E. Williams.

ECI was simply a fly-by-night mold company that had no freestanding business

ZERO FEE MOLD REPORT

location. ECI was underfunded since Arizona had to close the little over two-year business for the nonpayment of its state fees. ECI’s Brandon White reported in his 05/03/11 HUD interview that he gave SGRV a $300 discount because he was late generating the report. That was a lie because the report was completed, sent by email, and mailed by Certified Mail on 10/20/09, which is only four days after the test was done and not the seven days he reported to HUD. Brandon White lied because on 10/22/09 he waived the entire $427.23 ECI mold report fees for SGRV.

Finally, Brandon White lied to HUD stating he had no business relationship with Scott E. Williams. Brandon White was hired by Scott E. Williams to be the mold consultant for Williams’ lawyer group, the ASSOCIATION OF LANDLORD TENANT ATTORNEYS (ALTA). On 05/06/2011, Brandon White spoke before ALTA, which was only three days after his perjurous HUD testimony.

Brandon White benefited by producing a free false mold report because he was hired by Scott E. Williams’ ALTA group of 20 attorneys after ECI had closed. According to the Arizona Corporation records Brandon White started his own company, Enviroscience Consulting, Inc. According to the Arizona Corporation Commission records Brandon White started his company on 07/14/11, which is only a little over two months after he had lied to HUD. We suspect Scott E. Williams enabled Brandon White to start his own company. We suspect that was done to hide the fact that SGRV was and is full of mold, and it is a very dangerous and deadly property.

SGRV’S TOXIC MOLD CAUSED THE DEATH

OF OUR THREE DOGS AND

STARTED CAROL’S LIVER REJECTION

When we lived at SGRV with our service dog, Wheeler, who got deathly sick from the toxic mold. We had to move because the leaky moldy SGRV apartment was not safe for us. SGRV’s felon manager, Scott Green, and SGRV’s attorney, Scott E. Williams refused to remove the mold in our apartment and refused to let us move to a mold-free apartment. They used their falsified mold report stating there was no mold but that was untrue.

We were all getting very sick from the toxic mold at SGRV. My wife, Carol, is a

post-liver transplant patient and that SGRV toxic mold exposure started the rejection of her transplanted liver. Our dogs, Wheeler, Bridget, and Brittany, all died of liver cancer. We have spent all our monies in hospital fees and doctor bills in an effort to keep Carol alive. We have been denied any justice for the violations of our Fair Housing Rights by HUD and the Arizona Attorney General.

SGRV's attorney, Scott E. William, sued us twice for the $3,500 bill that we refused to pay because our civil housing rights were violated by SGRV. These law suits were filed in the same Arrowhead Justice Court at different times. We lost because the court refused our evidence and refused to delay the trial because our witness was in a coma in the hospital. We have over $23,000 in judgments (over $10,000 of that is in attorney's fees). Our second inept judge Melanie Deforest was later forced to resign because she had lied about her qualifications and the lack of a college degree. Our Fraud of the Court Motion and our Appeal to this gross injustice have been denied.

It helps that Scott E. Williams was hired in 2004 by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to represent all elected officials of Maricopa County on election matters and he also handles the evictions on all the Maricopa County rentals. Scott E. Williams is the "Evictions King" in Arizona with over 100,000 evictions in 20 years because he is "PROTECTED." It comes as no surprise that the tape and our evidence in the second July 8, 2009 kangaroo trial have been lost or destroyed.

Arizona has no laws concerning toxic mold for homeowners, business property owners, and apartment renters (only for schools). Renters are unable to break their leases even if their lives are in jeopardy because of dangerous conditions. Arizona is a "Slumlord's Paradise" because Scott E. Williams wrote the Landlord/Tenant Act which gives renters no rights. Scott E. Williams is cashing in on the victims of slumlords and Arizona allows his criminal, immoral, and unethical activities!

There is no justice in the Arizona Badlands!
