New Harassment for HHA Activist Jessica Coco

4th and Final Notice of Inspection left of Ms. Coco's door the afternoon of Tuesday January 14, 2014- with less than 24 hours notice.   Moreover, what happened to Notices 1, 2, and 3? 

In what looks like another crack at "legal action" against HHA tenant activist Jessica Coco, the above notice was left on Ms. Coco's door sometime Tuesday afternoon.  What's so unusual?

A couple of things.

(1) Ms. Coco was NOT given a minimum of 24 hours notice prior to inspection  as is required by HUD regulations.

(2)  The notice is labeled "4th and Final Notice of Annual Inspection"; what happened to Coco's first, second, and third notices?

(3) Ms. Coco's apartment was inspected on or about November or December of 2013 and her lease was already renewed in late 2013.

(4) The political context of Coco's improper notice:

• the vocal 'campaign' against Councilman and HHA Commissioner Dave Mello and new Reform appointments to the HHA  

• cries of "ousting the black man" from HHA Chairman and Carmelo Garcia loyalist Rob Davis  

• a Hoboken Patch Op-Ed from HHA Tenant Advisory Committee reps attacking the Zimmer administration for it's lack of "minority" board appointment (ironically, one of the Op-Ed authors  espouses the "history of the Jewish people": horny Jewish cave women mated with jackals.)

• the dismissal of Carmelo Garcia's "ethnic cleansing" lawsuit and his vow to "re-file" it

• the perception that new 33rd District Assemblyman Carmelo Garcia wants to finish out his 5-year contract as HHA Executive Director without a Hatch Act challenge

Make no mistake, Angel Alicea's $1,000,000 swag-bag from a Hudson County Superior Court jury for alleged ethnic discrimination by the City of Hoboken is catnip to lions.

This is a full-out war to build a strawman for Garcia- that ANY effort to remove him under ANY circumstance amounts to racial discrimination.  Now, if Garcia can hold on to his HHA Executive Directorship... 

He Can! He Will! Watch him!  Keep Vision 20/20 alive, that is.


And Jessica Coco of Save The Projects, the tenant opposition to Garcia's Vision 20/20 Redevelopment is apparently back on the radar.

Brave and beautiful Ms. Coco.

Read the language of the "4th and Final" Notice: "If the Authority cannot gain access to your unit, the Authority will proceed with legal action".  Eviction.

Just so  you know, Ms. Coco is chronically ill.  She needed to go to the emergency room but was forced to stick around for the "inspection".  A repeat of the inspection she had a few months ago.

Harassment, anyone?
