RE Greed Reaches New Level in Cobble Hill
Most New Yorkers are pretty used to tales of landlords evicting tenants in the pursuit of profit maximization. But even the most hardened free-marketeer must have raised his eyebrows at yesterday's report of two elederly sisters being kicked out of the Cobble Hill townhouse where they grew up by their nephew, Joseph DeLeonibus. Adding another layer of intrigue was the listing for the Cheever Place property on Corcoran: "House is being offered for $999,999, without seeing it, without inspecting it, must close in 30 days, must be all cash and must take tenants in place." Sounds a little desperate to us. There must be more to the story.

Was it here that we read about that strange listing a few days ago? Now we know why. That's awful.
Posted by: Anonymous at November 15, 2005 10:17 AM
This was picked up by Curbed PriceChopper a little bit ago - somebody there noticed it as soon as the listing was changed from a pretty standard listing at something like $1.6 to the above price and "restrictions". Here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/9ammq ('fraid I don't know how to make that live).
Did Corcoran drop the listing? Seems like they would've wanted to run pretty fast from that mess.

It sounds like those old ladies have been doing some hardcore mooching off his mother for years and years, and now that the place is his, he wants to sell it and cash out. What's wrong with that?
Why should he have to support his elderly aunts if he doesn't want to? It's his choice.

didn't it say that one of the aunts was willed part of the building and signed it over to him? we're talking about family here. this guy is a complete crook.

Oh, that is awful. I wish I had an extra million dollars so I could buy that building for those poor old ladies. I can understand the nephew wanting to sell that place, but not without finding a new home for his aunts.
Posted by: Rose at November 15, 2005 10:39 AM
Sounds like ammo in a HUGE family feud. Getting an eviction notice the day your sister is buried? That's gotta hurt.
In all fairness to the nephew, I'd be irritated too if my cousin claimed what looks to be squatter's rights. Living in the attic? Because he can't afford an apartment on his own or because he won't pay a cent more than he has to, especially if his cousin will put up with him. True there's more here than meets the eye, and it probably ain't pretty.

There was a longer story complete with feuding in-laws, etc in the weekend papers. I'm guessing the Post on Saturday. That article said house had been sold.
Posted by: Anonymous at November 15, 2005 10:44 AM
He wants to sell the house because he's in debt (was on the news a couple of nights ago). He's a cad. One aunt is 89, the other is close to it if not beyond. How much longer does he expect them to live? When the police arrived at the house to execute the eviction and they saw the two women, they refused to force them out and left. Three cheers for a show of decency. Old people are not refuse to be discarded because this nephew can't manage his money. Imagine that happening to your parents or other relatives, or even worse, to yourself. How would you feel? Would you like to end up in a nursing home? Let them live the rest of their days in peace in the house where they grew up, regardless of any so-called family feud. It's just plain old disgusting greed.

It's greedy of those old ladies to mooch their entire lives. THAT'S GREED.
Selling out is business.

I just don't get why it's the obligation of the guy who owns the property to house these women there. If everyone feels so bad, why don't they send checks to the old women so they rent there or somewhere else?
It's easy to point at the LL, but would anyone here spend a cent on this?

There should be more government housing for the elderly. Elderly people should not be rotting in 2 to 4 bedroom apartments paying less then the cost of heating.

it is not landlords tenant dispute there are no leases, no rent control.
It is family business. This guy should wait couple years and let them die in pace and then sell this place after just out of respect for his family.

I'm not passing judgement. I'm just asking why everyone puts the burden of subsidizing the stay on the LL. Why don't you help her find a place and then help pay for it?
Posted by: JoshK at November 15, 2005 11:30 AM
Thanks, Shahn. "Snidely Whiplash" was the name at the tip of my tongue seeing that picture.
JoshK--Why not? The LL is family, and this is not or shouldn't be, a souless business arrangement. If he kicks the aunts out you know it will wind up being the taxpayers' burden. Maybe that's how he's rationalizing it--they'll be cared for one way or another.

You call him a landlord - as if he invested some hard earned money in any of this.
I call him worthless scum - dumping his family onto goverment dole - and inheriting million bucks tax free thanks to our wonderful tax code.
Posted by: Anonymous at November 15, 2005 11:43 AM
Good lord. What is the neighborhood coming to? It was never like this. All that you people care about is $$$. I can't believe how hard-hearted some of you are. Let the old ladies stay for whatever time they have left. If they did mooch, so what? Let them be. What's the rush now? The nephew has some gambling debts he needs to pay? Over-extended credit cards? Can't pay for the luxury car? It's a very sad commentary on our society. Throw away the elderly, what good are they but a drain on our wallets and an impediment to profit. Hope it happens to you someday.

What I wonder about also is how the buyer of this place will fare. I have no idea why someone would want to be involved with this - knowing they displaced these women - feud or not. Karma?
My cousins live on the block so it will be interesting to hear about the kind of reception the new owners get.
Posted by: Anonymous at November 15, 2005 1:21 PM
I'm confused...did he buy the place or inherit it? Not to say that if he did buy it himself that justifies this behavior, but if in fact he INHERITED this building, that is truly, truly sick.
Posted by: Anonymous at November 15, 2005 1:27 PM
Without any discussion of the rights or wrongs of the case, it's my understanding that it's basically impossible to evict elderly tenants if they're paying their rent, lease or no lease. Basically, if you go to housing court, you've got essentially no chance of getting an eviction order in this kind of case. Of course, I am not a lawyer, and it's horrible that it would come to this, but that's my understanding.
Posted by: Tim at November 15, 2005 1:53 PM
Come on, Josh, don't be coy. Explain to all the good readers of brownstoner.com how you campaigned for city council on a platform of abolishing rent control and rent stabilization because you advocate "fair housing for all -- not affordable housing for a lucky few." So who's lucky in this scenario? The guy who inherits his mother's house or his elderly aunties who end up homeless?
Posted by: Roz at November 15, 2005 2:02 PM
This was for sale for some time and had openhouses. Then I saw this on Curbed.com (Nov3)with the weird $999k price and stipulations. By that same afternoon it was off the Corcoran website. Must have beeen looking like some very bad PR for Corcoran so quickly zapped it.

If I had the money, I'd buy it myself and give the women right of tenancy. Then when the day comes that they go on to their rewards, I'd fix up the house, live in it, or rent it out. A good deed done.
Posted by: Anonymous at November 15, 2005 2:25 PM
I think there's a lot more going on than the old ladies. Snidley Whiplash's cousin and his wife also live in the house, according to the article. It also looks like Snidely's the sole owner, by inheritance.
I'm not debating that this guy is scummy -- but where is the rest of the family that also should be offering to help?
And how the hell did this family get to this financially desperate situation in the first place?
Posted by: me at November 15, 2005 2:36 PM
Interesting how the aunties/grannies went to the press for some sympathy. Makes you wonder what the family is like -- sounds like no one is truly innocent here.

That's not me that ran for City Council - that is a friend of mine. I liked what he had to say and don't have my own website, so I put his here so people can see it.
This guy owns the house and can do with it what he wants. Keeping the women in place has a cost in terms of forgone opportunity. He can sell or rent and make $X.
There is no question that it is a hardship for these women to move. But it is also a hardship in terms of lost income to the current owner.
I question the moral tsk-tsking of people who criticize the LL for not giving up the $X, but who they themselves wouldn't do so. Money is fungible and anyone can step in.
Posted by: JoshK at November 15, 2005 2:40 PM
What's with the son of one of the old ladies living in the attic?
Not to side with the LL -- but if it was me, personally, I cannot afford to pay the utilities, taxes, upkeep, etc. on my house and my great-aunt's house. I'd sell too (but find an apartment for her.) Granted, eviction is drastic, but it really sounds like the article is slanted and this family is WHACKO.

If the old ladies lived in the house w/o paying rent while the mom was alive, there was an understanding. If they've been living there rent-free for years, it's too late for son to complain now. Seriously, this house didn't cost him a dime, he should just rent out one apartment to a nice yuppie couple and their rent will cover taxes, ins., heat and maybe even a little maintenance till the old ladies croak and then he can get his money. It's not just real estate, it's housing.
Posted by: irma at November 15, 2005 3:40 PM
JoshK, I realize that you are using "fungible" in the legal sense, but in actuallity, the origination of money always starts with a fungible good, meaning goods which are highly desired for their exchange value, because they have the qualities of being durable, divisible, and also have a non-money use such as ornamentation, jewelry, et al.
Posted by: iceberg at November 15, 2005 3:45 PM
My pt is just that this LL will incur a real, monetary loss if he lets these women stay. This monetary loss could be compensated for by any or all of the moralists who tisk-tsk away about what he should do.
In real numbers, say he could rent out the unit for $1000/mo. If he lets them stay there for, say $1, then he is taking a loss of $999. Perhaps these women should be allowed to stay there in the moral judgement of some who read the story. But, They are free to send their $999 to the LL in order to keep them.
Posted by: JoshK at November 15, 2005 4:05 PM
I think the article said they were paying $650.
The landlord is family and is dumping his frail elderly aunts onto the public -and probably an early death - as he inherits a million $ and doesn't have to pay a cent in inheritance tax.
Its all about $$$ for JoshK and his sort and never about decency.
If he purchased the building it is one thing -
but inheriting is another. I say 75% tax on any inheritance (or trust fund) over $50,000.
Posted by: Anonymous at November 15, 2005 4:25 PM
Moralists??? All you think about is the almighty dollar and the "losses" the nephew is incurring. If he's in debt because of his stupidity (gambling, over-spending, etc), then he deserves his predicament.

There's an update on today's NY Daily News site...apparently today Housing Court said the 89-year old's time had run out, and extended the Alzheimer's victim's residency by a month. Like some have said (above) there's got to be more to this than has been published in the NY Daily News...
Posted by: Anonymous at November 15, 2005 4:56 PM
Sorry, but JoshK has the right of this argument. Whatever you think of this landlord, be it scumbag, scrooge, filthy lucre, etc., he is within all rights to vacate his property in accordance with all previous agreements and contracts he or the previous owner(s) agreed to honor.
I just find it amusing that while people who are so quick to judge and condemn this "greedy" landlords monetary situation (which was speculated to be due to his gambling and credit card debt, and an appetite for luxury cars), no one found it in their bleedin' heart to give the tenants the ol' greedy treatment. You know, say how they should have saved up their money for retirement, instead of blowing it when they were sassy broads on prohibition liquor, Victrolas, nylon stockings and flop dresses.
To then paraphrase one anonymous commentor who blamed the LL for the lack of cash flow due to the duo's housing theft:
"If they're in debt because of their stupidity (drinking, over-spending, etc), then they deserves this predicament."
Posted by: iceberg at November 15, 2005 5:29 PM
Yes, maybe within legal right.... but what does that say about our legal and tax system and MORALITY AND DECENCY which too many of those with the $$$ too often lack.

If y'all are so unconcerned about money, then send yours to the LL so they can stay.
Posted by: JoshK at November 15, 2005 5:51 PM
No matter how much money people sent in, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough because he wants them out to sell -- he doesn't want to be a landlord no matter what. All someone could do is buy the building and let them stay there.
In France old people can sell their apartments in exchange for the right to remain there until they die. A lot of people wind up waiting for a long time to get their property but overall it seems to work pretty well.
Posted by: babs at November 15, 2005 6:38 PM
Corcoran should have had better sense than to take the listing in the first place.... It is very bad pr.... this is the story that should be written. How could someone in good conscience really represent this guy...

I don't want to make this a political blog but please lets not start citing the French as an example of how our housing and economic system should be structured. We have seen in recent weeks, in part, the results of the French's hyper-regulated economic and housing systems (confining dark skinned Muslim and north African citizens to govt. sponsored ghettos, but hey at least the housing is free). France also has a 35 hour work week (violation punishable under penalty of law), 5 weeks mandated vacation at 10+% unemployment. I wanted to live in France, I would move to San Francisco. There are three sides to every story: Mr. DeLeonibus side; his aunts' side; and the truth. Sadly but not surprisingly the press has chosen only to tell one of those sides. Hopefully some private social service organization will be there to lend these ladies a helping hand. If not, the good progressives of the Brownstoner family should step up to the plate with some of their own money instead of opining on how to someone else should spend there's. Viva free market capitalism (or it's limited version here in NYC). Big up bloggers Josh K and Iceberg for injecting some common sense into this pitiful debate.

I used to live on the block. The older sister is the biggest trouble maker around. All the neighbors hated her. The son of the other old sister is a crack head and his wife drink all the time. They don't work. Where do they get their money from? I'll tell you where. The son and daughter-in-law take the old ladies check and food stamps for drugs, booze and smokes. So can you blame the nephew?

I know for a fact the son of one of the old ladies is a druggie. He was always a bum. He lived in the park and on the train. His cousin was good enough to give him a place to live. To take care of his own mother. He took very good care of her welfare check. The older sister has childeren and grandchildren, non of them want anything to do with her. How long does Joseph DeLeonibus have to support them.

I'm a landlord with a lot of building management experience. Most of you sound like rent controled tenants. It's easy to complain. Let's see you actually DO SOMETHING for these ladies!

All this guy is doing is selling the building. It's the yuppie who buys it that will kick the ladies out. So why no hating on new yuppie landlords here? Oh, right -- because this blog is for yuppie landlords.
Or do you all charge rents way below market for the apartments in your charmingly renovated brownstones, so the poor old ladies of the old neighborhood can continue living there?
Oh, wait, I forgot -- it's all right to take away housing from poor senior citizens if you have a big mortgage on your overpriced house and need all the extra money you can to pay for private schools. But if you're doing it for something declasse like paying gambling debts, then you're a greedy bastard.

I have a great idea! Why don't we all chip in to pay the rent for these women.
They can rent Brownstoner's rental apartment. If we each chip in just a dollar a month, I'm sure we could come up with the $1800 or so he's probably charging.
I'm sure Brownstoner's friend/tenant would be happy to move out in order to help these two newly homeless old spinsters. With the recent flooding problems he's endured, he's probably wants out anyway.
Just one buck each is all it would take! A social experiment like this could change the world! Brownstoner could set up a live webcam and we could watch our "charges" cooking dinner and tending the garden.

It seems those who are on the elderly side find it morraly wrong, not legally. The courts have ruled and he has every right, but hes morally suspect. I won't codemn the man without more info, but if the rent ($850 /month) covers his expenses, I will. JoshK, I would agree with you that this is bussiness, but if he's breaking even then the house costs him nothing. He got this house for FREE, its not like hes a normal LL who purchased an investment property and is subsidizing someone. If you want to argue money from the LL persepctive you need to frame it as an arguement about lost profits (if the house market goes down), not lost rent money.
Even if the thing costs him a few bucks, its family. I can't support every needy person out there, but I damn well will help my own family. So the argument we should be giving is missing the point. I feel for someone who has family that chooses not to help them in some way, if they can.

I didn't write my earlier post about the viager system in France to say anything about the French economy or socialism or anything -- in fact I think this practice is one of several paradoxes in the French economy that is totally anti-socialist (that and the fact that income taxes are not withheld from your pay and you're expected to save on your own to pay your tax bill the following year). And what happened in France over the past two weeks is completely tragic, but was utterly foreseeable, and isn't anything we haven't already been through in this country -- look at the Watts riots, the NYC blackout of 1977, etc. But this is not the place for this sort of discussion; I just wanted to make it clear that this one comment was by no means an apology for the French economic system.

Anon,
No question that it's good to help your family. But I don't think anyone here knows this guy's picture and who he cares for right now.
But, "but if he's breaking even then the house costs him nothing", is not true. Giving up additional money is the same as loosing it. Next time you get a raise, are you going to give this new "found money" away?
He happened to get the house for free. A lot of people here got something for free or by luck, being born into a family in the US as opposed to Africa could be considered luck. And people recognize their good fortunes and give.
But, a loss is by any other name a loss.

BTW bkfederalist the housing in the HLMs or cites surrounding Paris is not free, just cheap (that's what HLM stands for -- habitiation a loyer modere -- Sorry my computer can't do accents.), just like the projects here. And I did live there, so I know their economy very (all too) well, which is a good part of why I came back here (that and the light). But this particular item -- viager -- has nothing to do with HLMs or ghettoes or anything like that and everything to do with real estate.
Posted by: babs at November 16, 2005 1:46 PM
As an example, I saw a 6 room (I'm adding the kitchen, which doesn't legally count as a room in France, so the ad says 5), 3 BR, 2 1/2 bath apartment in one of Paris's finest bourgeois buildings in the 17th arrondisement, near the Place Wagram, fourth floor, elevator building, plus cave and enclosed parking space next door for 2.6 million euros plus 6 thousand euros a year paid to the sellers, who would continue to live there until their death -- an 82-year old man and his 81-year old wife. It may be rather ghoulish, but on the other hand these people will get to live out their days in their home free from financial worries...
Unoccupied you'd probably pay at least 3.5 million euros for the same apartment. Still way cheaper than NY, London, Tokyo, LA, etc. Paris real estate is still a relative bargain.

I got married 3 years ago and lenny and jean visconti where at my wedding. His MOMMY had to give him money to put in the envelope $200.00 BUT it never made it in the envelope it went up his nose.
not one person in that house pays joseph any rent. he pays the mortgage, gas, electricty, water... I heard it costs Joseph about $5,500.00 a month to have them live there and they have lived there for over 3 years rent free(lenny tells his mother he pays her rent with the welfare check, but really uses it and her food stamp card for drugs, alcohol and smokes)......

Anna died because she gave up. There was a constant struggle between her and her sister Katherine. Katherine always made her cry. She was fine and had all her marbles up till the day she died. The family went to the hospital the day she died, Joseph, Grace and their two children. What was going on at the house was most important. Katherine's daughter Marie was robbing what she could carry out of the house. She was known for that.

I here the older sister and her family robbed her second husband as he slept in his bed. I think one of her grandsons put the house on fire. All the sisters were nuts and the whole block hated them.

The truth will be known. Katherine Carmarda is not the inocent little old lady as seen on TV. Leonard Visconti and his wife are crack heads and using his mothers welfare check to do so. The news should talk to the people who know. Not the few who are on the old ladies side.
I'm a close neighbor I know.

What I just saw really shows what kind of people we are dealing with. Lenny Visconti and the merry old sisters saw it fit to decorate the front stoop with Christmas decorations. I did't know you could buy decorations with food stamps. The sister died in March, I thought loving families mourned their dead, I guess they wern't that close. Who is paying the Con Edison bill anyway? The LL gets stuck with that also. Somebody should tell deadbeat dads that Lenny Visconti is working at Roadside Roses on Staten Island. It happens to be owned by sister Carmarda's grandson.

Is it still considered mooching if you spent your whole life there? I know Jean personally. She is a very sweet woman. I do not understand how you people can think that they should have to leave. Jean has slept in the same bedroom for that last 40 years(since her husband died) that she slept in in her childhood. This is not mooching. This is what family does. Joey's father Guiseppi, who bought the house after it was mortgaged, let Jean stay there from the kindness of his heart. He was a great man, and would be disappointed to see that his son is so heartless. As for Katie, she rented the third floor apartment so she could live with her sisters. They still live the way that we talk about...back in the "good ol days."

This is for Anomymous @ 11/26. You have no idea what you are talking about. You can't know Jean that well. She has not lived there for fourty years. She moved there in 1983, you do the math.She did not move there after her husband died. As for Katie, she didn't move there because she wanted to be near her sisters. Her grandson lost the house she was living in. He took out a mortgage and did not pay for it. Thats how she came to live there. Do you know where the dissapointment should lie, in people not knowing the true story and talking about it. If you are so fond of Jean, do something about her son Lenny robbing her SS check and using her food stamps for beer and smokes.

I'm related by marriage to one of Joseph's cousins, all I have to say is it is a shame that he is doing this to his mother's sisters. I only wish Anthony was here to see how is mother is suffering.
Lenny you really need to help you mom.
Posted by: Stella Torres at January 29, 2006 7:52 PM
I thought you were better than that,Joe. I would never imagine that you could do something like that to your aunts. Larry is appalled as I am that you can do this. Tomorrow 1/30 was Anthony's birthday, think of how he would feel about his mom and aunt. How would your mom feel?
Posted by: angela renna at January 29, 2006 7:58 PM
Angela and Larry, You have no idea what happened over the years. Joe and I got stuck with Katie, Lenny and his wife after Annie died. Nobody wanted to pay rent. I really should not have to explaine anything to you. After your reply comming from people who left their Uncle Vito stranded. You just took off on him. If it were't for Joe and I there was nobody to take care of him. All you did Larry was take money from him when you did him a favor. He would tell my husband Joe that he was his only nephew. He said all wanted was to grab money.

Both you and Larry should not point fingers and judge my husband. Both of you have no idea what went on after you left for Florida. You have no right to judge him

let me let EVERYONE know a lil something.his grandparents and my great grandparents came over on the boat and all struggled and worked very hard to EARN that building. it has been in OUR family for over a hundred years and is part of OUR heritage and ancestry. to sell something like that without any regard to the people that actually apreciate it and what it represents is cold hearted and malicitious.over 100 years of hard work and effort wasnt given so one person could make a quick buck! as far as the man that lives in the attic, let me say a lil something about him too. he IS a vietnam vet. he DID take care of HIS aunt and HIS mother until they BOTH died. so anyone and i do mean ANYONE who has a problem with the man in the attic DONT know the whole story. NO hes far from saint and may not be the best role modle BUT he was there when no one else was. and that includes the son of annie delionibus. he wasnt there when she was sick or dieing, the man in the attic was. he wasnt there when she needed medicine, the man in the attic was. and he wasnt there when she woke in the middle of the night missing her departed husband, the man in the attic was. and another thing about the man in the attic he is MY father and granted ive never thought highly of him and never agreed with alot of the things hes done i AM very proud of what he has done for and by the old ladies in that building. HE has stepped up to take care of them. no one else so for all of you "anonymous" people you all should grow some BALLS and step up if you have anything to say bad about MY father or my GRANDMOTHER, AUNT, OR UNCLE JOEY. BECAUSE AS FAR AS I CAN SEE WE ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE WITH ANY SENSE OF WHAT REAL FAMILY IS! i am here and my e-mail is biggbratt71@yahoo.com if you have ANY comments or other wise.

Posted by: guest at September 26, 2007 8:22 AM
you are all a bunch of idiots.are u all to blind to see what happened. everyone living in that house on cheaver was moochig. the crackhead in the attic was stealing ss checks(yes very nice let us all defend him).the two old bags having a great time living not paying any money to live in this house while the crackhead probably beat them stealing all their money.WooHoo.YAY!! the "FAMILY" you all say u are? where were u when they were sick and if you are such a tight family why werent you there taking care of them or helping pay rent. oh yes i remeber, none of you cared until that house was sold and there was the issue of oh wait what was it ohh MONEY!!!!!! so there you have it no one remembered those 2 old ladies and the burn out until they realized that there could be some money involved.and what does it matter to anyone what was taken out of the house. u didnt own the house obviously so whatever was in that house wasnt yours anyway. its really sad how you all act upset about the things in the house that u want like a clock or some damn trains when u are really worried about money. wake the hell up get a job losers.
Posted by: guest at October 17, 2007 9:53 PM
Mandy and Peter, both of you have no idea what went on there, I find it very surprising that you take the word of your no good father. Joseph and I were given no choice in selling the house. It was because of Katie and your Father they were squatters when Annie died. If there was a mortgage on that house it was nobodys business. We paid for it not you. Its a joke Linda Peter and Mandy sticking up for your crackhead Father and Ex husband. Joseph and I paid for Jean's life insurance policy, until Lenny wanted it back. That was for her burial. Lenny sold the policy so he and his crackhead wife had money to live on. Johnny and Charles paid for her burial. They were putting her in potters field, because lenny used all her money. I had neighboes call me up telling how he would beat her up for her check. Do you know how many times the cops were there? Peter, as for your trains your father that you are so proud of sold them for crack money. Linda don't point a finger you robbed me You people get me sick. Your not good enough for Jerry Springer. Mandy tell your daughter to call me, somebody misinformed her about her grandfather. Peter Mandy I don't blame you look how you were raised. Linda how dare you say that about my children. They are both good men who were raised properly. They know they have to work hard to get nice things, and not rob and live off people. All of you know no other life. I truly can't understand how you can take his word. You're not worth it.

linda Joseph and I gave our children a great foundation. We taught them to work hard for what you want. You have some pair of balls to wish that, because you do not know the truth. Joseph and I did take care of Jean not the crackhead. Joseph out of the kindness of his heart gave him a roof over his head. His kindness just backfired in his face. Lets speak the truth about foundation. Its apples and oranges. A loving family working hard all their lives to get the things they wanted and a solid life for their children. Or the crackhead and the thief.... remember the money you stole from me? Now do you want to talk about foundation?
Posted by: guest at October 19, 2007 5:10 PM
Pearl, I was quite amused in reading about a grandfather you never knew. He comes from a father who was the neighborhood drunk. He worked neighbor people for Old Man Wilson. It's your Great-Grandmother Jean who had a hard life. She had to work two jobs to make the rent. Guess who drove he back and forth, my husband Joseph. Everybody is right, Anthony would not let this happen. He would take care of his mother. All your grandfather did was rob from him and make her cry. My husband Joseph is not the villain in all of this, it's your grandfather. If it were not for Joseph, your grandfather would still be living in a cardboard box in Prospect Park. In the winter he would ride the trains. Joseph and I took care of your great grandmother. We gave her money, bought he clothes and paid for her life insurance policy for two years. Your grandfather, Lenny, who all of a sudden, everybody is so proud of, sold the policy for crack money for him and his crack wife. When your great grandmother died, if it weren't for Johnny and Charles paying for the wake, she would be buried in Potters Field.
Your grandfather also beat her for money. The neighbors would call me to tell me how many times the cops were on Cheever Place. Your great grandmothers food stamp were used by your grandfather for smokes and beer. I have proof. When my son Joseph went to the house there was no food. Annie and Jean were eating toast. My son bought food for them. Go down to cheever Place. Ask the neighbors what’s going on. When Annie was alive he would wheel her to the bank to cash her check, so he could take the money. Annie would ask Joseph and me for money because Lenny would take it all. You come from a severely dysfunctional family, a crack head grandfather, a thief of a grandmother (she robbed me of over $1000 in jewelry), no body ever told you that. Your mom and uncle Peter is another story. One more thing. All possessions in that house do not belong to your grandfather or great grandmother. They free loaded with nothing. Everything in that house was bought by Annie and Joey. I could go on and on. Take a minute to think about it. Just look at him. Oh by the way neighbors are complaining of things being stolen from their houses. Guess who they blame. As for the Proud Family of that Vietnam vet. Ask him what kind of discharge he got. It was not a honorable one. Pearl, if you need to know more about your grandfather go to Deadbeatdads.com
Mandy, as far as respecting your grandmother, in death, Why? We were told that if we showed up we were going to be kicked out. The flowers would have gotten thrown out also. Plenty of times during the night we had to go to the hospital for your grandmother because your father was no where to be found. Don't listen to your fathers lies everybody knows the truth. When my son got married, your grandmother gave your father $200 for the gift. Cousins Carmine and Charles saw him take it out of the envelope and put it in his pocket. I can tell you plenty. Ask your father where the 14k Gold coffee set is that Aunt Annie and Uncle Joey gave your grandmother from Italy.

Posted by: guest at October 24, 2007 7:03 AM
im not here to vindicate myself but i want to set the record straight....gracie we both know you NEVER ever gave me money nor did i STEAL any money from you....what happened was you sent me a bunch of jewelry to sell for you{first time we talkrd in 10 years}then i called you to tell you i couldnt do it ,that nobody could afford it.you said show it around take your timeso i did...then i tried calling you twice to tell you it was a no go...left messages on your machine at that time...you never responed....so i called aunt annie and talked to her about it...told her that i was returning it and so aunt annie said to send it to her and she would sii to it that you got it back.....been down there 3xs since saw you twice and 3 days when ub=ncle joey passed and you never mentioned a word about it .so i figured everything was cool and that you got your stuff back....after that the next time you called me which was only a few months ago you were so worried about what my childern were thinking.
one thing i am in agreement with if there was all this trouble why didnt someone call us....you knew how lenny was , why did you give him the ins. policy...we should of been called and it would of been taken care of.
i talked to aunt annie every month and she would tell me every thing that was going on and half of what you say is true....we got in touch with someone at the police dept over on union street....and there was only 1 report of abuse from that address...did any one of you call ....NO.....we were left out of a lot of things and personally i dont give a shit no more...the people i knew that were still my family are now gone so i dont need to be a part of that family no more...everybody has something to say about somebody but nobody gave an inch to help....you were lucky any time you needed aunt any and uncle joey were there for you and i can say the same thing.....
and dont think for 1 moment peter and mandi and even lacey know what their father is all about..they know more then you think! their concern was their grandmother not him!
Posted by: guest at October 24, 2007 11:54 AM
Hello everyone. My name is Stephanie Visconti, daughter of the Anthony Visconti, deceased. I came upon this website thanks to Mandi. What is wrong with all of you???? WHY slander everyone? Obviously, no has the same story, so no one is gonna know what really happened. It saddens me greatly to see the house on Cheever Place being sold, as it was in our family forever. All the Christmases we ALL spent together there. Each year one of you played Santa. What happened? I know that after my father died, my mom struggled for years to keep a house over our heads. I dont remember anybody calling or coming over to help my mother. But we still have love in our hearts for all of you. REGARDLESS- we all need to be adult here. The party that IS in the wrong- you know who you are. and your time will come. BUT- lets leave the slander behind. I am too happy to have mandi and peter and their families to be back in my life. the past is the past. and now- with the house on Cheever Place gone, our past has been lost.
and the rest of you- who cant sign your names- what exactly are you afraid of?
Posted by: guest at October 26, 2007 11:04 AM
Mandy, First lets get this straight. All that posted in the beginning, when this all happened, I have no idea who they are. Think what you want to think. I started writing when i felt I had to defend my husband, Joseph. You seem to have a problem with the mortgage. The reason I will tell you what happened is because I want to, not because I have to. Uncle Joey got sick, Mary Fuggetta died (top floor). As It happened Katy's grandson Danny took out a mortgage on her house, and never paid for it. She lost the house. Aunt Annie gave her the top floor. Katie decided that because she was a sister she did not have to pay rent. There was a war. Then Uncle Joey passed away. When he died Aunt Annie lost his pension. So when you said we enjoyed his pension I was really hurt by that. All she was recieving a month from SS $560 per month. Joseph and I had no intention to sell that house, we were forced. There was an exsisting mortgage on the house from a long time age. If you must know they invested in a business that busted. Joseph and I paid for that mortgage, it was nobody's business. So there we were, paying for a mortgage, gas, electric, taxes, insurance and what ever happened around the house. What ever money we saved was going toard the house in Brooklyn. Finally our money ran out. We spoke to Aunt Annie to sell the house. We would build a house for her and Aunt Jean. Katie and her trouble making Cookie kept telling her not to sell, and they were turning Annie against her son. A son who did everything for her and her sisters all his life. So when you said he was never there that also hurt. Lets get back to the mortgage, because you are so interested in that money. What ever money Joseph and I had was gone. WE had to mortgage our own house. A house that we worked so hard to pay off. Now we had a mortgage in Brooklyn and a mortgage in New Jersey. Thats when your father came into the picture. No money was coming into the house except for the small SS check Annie was getting. WE reserved the money we mortgage money from our house, and used it toard the bills in Brooklyn. Money goes fast. Your father moved in Katie refused to pay a dime, and Aunt Annie had no concept of money. WE had to do something and fast. Katie kept complaining why was the house under Joseph's name. Why, because it was his parents house. It should be left to him. Katie and Cookie did not like that Idea, they did all they could to make things worse. We were at the point we had to do something. We needed money coming into the house. We refinanced the house in Brooklyn. We paid our house off. We were already losing the house in Brooklyn, why should we loose our house too.
Posted by: guest at October 26, 2007 7:33 PM
Let me continue. When your Father moved in he would take Aunt Annie to the checks cashed place by wheel chair, to cash her check. He would take the whole thing. Aunt Annie would ask us for money. She said she was broke. We found out it was your father who took the money. Your father also told your grandmother that he was sending Joe and I $200 for rent. That was a lie. I got in touch with SS and told them what was going on. THey never did enything about it. I had no right to do anything to Aunt Jeans check. Aunt Annie check was deposited right to the bank. Lenny couldn't get his hands on it. Annie was so messed up in the head, Katie and Cookie telling her how bad her son was she started to believe them. Katie told Cousin Johnnie that Joseph took all her money and left her with nothing. Johnnie called Joseph up on the phone and asked him about it. How do you think my husband felt, put yourself in his shoes. Thats when Joseph started to get sick. He had a breakdown. He was in the hospital a few times. His own mother was against him. They got their way. Thats why he was unable to go down there, he was very sick. We warned them that when Annie started to get sick we had no choice we had to sell the house. Thet had a long time to plan that they planned. When Annie died, we had to sell the house. Thats when your father called the news. The rest I'm sure you know. As far as your Grandmother joe and I offered to take her to our house. We had no intention to hurt her. She got caught up in the crap between Katie and your father. We offered to take her in your father said she doesn't need you she has me . The only thing he helped was to spend what was hers and destroy my husband. He was very close to Lenny growing up. He never expected this from all of you.Aunt Jean was loving to us. She made us feel welcome when we went to Brooklyn. All Annie ever did was hurt her son and make him cry. He will never forgive his mother she caused all of this in allowing everybody knowing family business, and never putting them in their place. Well Mandt I told you just about everything. You deside.

Mandi it seems to me you never changed, once a rag always a rag. I was told you looked like a tramp at your grandmothers wake. That came from a family member. You were all full of tats and boobs hanging out. So once a trailer park skank always a trailer park skank.
Posted by: guest at January 26, 2008 6:14 PM
you want to get down and dirty? you dont even know what trailer park trash is ....youv lived off people all your lives ....every one of you. your not a family....people like you dont have families that just have people there to see what you can get...gee lets see....uncle joey and aunt annie went on a 'busniness venture' and went bust ...gee i wonder hows busniness it was...and when living on s.i. who paid the rent and fed 'them' and when they lived on cheever place who fed them and paid the rent....and when they bought their first house who gave them the money..who paid for all the big annversaries.....please give me a break.at least the one woman knew how to get out while she still had a life and raised her kids the 'hard way'...did she hear from any of you....did you call or write her...did you keep any kind of contact NO.......the only ones she kept in touch with were the ones that counted......you have no idea what she knows and how many times annie called her crying trying to get jean to move to maine....she would of been better of with the people who really loved and cared for her besides annie and joey.....of course katie was screwed too ...so it dont say much for them either......the only decent people in that family is charles and johnny.....why do you think they dont bother with any of you...their not stupid...they stood up to the plate when jean passed...because some stupid ass people gave lenny the ins policy !you knew hed do what he did....so its more their fault then anyone elses....if it was sent to maine things would of been taken care of! the roght way.
you talk about mandi and her boobs[lol] thats real cute but i forgot that nobody can beat cookie with her 'fake' boobs and her pancake makeup .....90 going on 10
so if you still want to sling some hash....bring it on .....i know way more then you think !

this is for joseph
REMEMBER ITS YOUR PIC UP THERE
LOL
Posted by: guest at January 27, 2008 11:14 PM
to the guest this is for Joseph. What do you mean? Sorry to hear about Uncle Ninny. Hope he rests in peace And he will he is finally rid of Katy and her thiefing family. Thank God the carmarda family ran out of brothers.Katy would of moved on to the next brother. She ruined many a family. Uncle Taddo's family, the Carmarda family, and her nephew Joseph and his family. They spoke about greed. The greed was with Kath and her daughter Cookie and Lenny. Nobody knows the true story.
Posted by: guest at February 2, 2008 10:36 AM
i m sorry to hear about ninny...i didnt know until i read this...and ill tell you you are right ..katie just loves to squeeze the life out of anyone....believe me i know.yes i was a part of this family and still was up until jean died that ended it for me.annie told me herself how ashamed she was of the things her son was doing to her but she had no choice.im not going to say cause its water under the bridge.
id like to know who katie is going to feed off of now cause her own kids dont want her.and their are no more old men around that i know of...her kids sucked her dry and a couple of grandkids screwd her good and its her own fault.
what really got me angry was when i first read these and the person who wrote in and said the two old ladies should be tied to the railroad tracks....thats a horrible thing to say.annie had a mouth and said what was on her mind and i loved her for it.....jean was the sensitive one,and katie is cold blooded....i always wondered why the rest of the family like frank and josie and all their kids never bothered with anybody...you can see why.....look at how all their kids grew up...cookie is greedy too along with joseph,frankie is a thief,lenny is a drug addict....you know i can say one thing ....thank god linda took her kids out of here id hate to think theyd be like that.
they always called jean and annie every month and annie got mad if they didnt call collect...lenny never paid a dime in child support either,but she had her mother and father to help her up there....i heard she bought a house and is married to a lovely man...GOOD FOR HER.as far as the rest ...everything comes full circle!
Posted by: guest at February 2, 2008 10:15 PM
to the guest who compared Joseph with cookie as being greedy. He sold that house because he had no choice. He had no intention of ever doing that. When Annie died and he took over they all decided not to pay any rent. He had to mortgage his own house to keep it up. When that money ran out that was it. He had to sell it. Nobody knows that Joseph offered Jean a place to live, his own house. Lenny wanted no part of that, because he wouldn't have her check to live on. As far as Annie saying those things about her son, day after day Katy would poison her mind against him. Everybody forgot how Joseph was there for them all those years, not Cookie or Frankie and forget about Lenny. The only fault Joseph had was he didn't have the courage to defend himself. Joseph has not been the same since his mother died. She was never on his side about anything. He had to live with the fact that his mother took everybody in her family over him. You seem to know the family, do you ever remember Joseph not being loving and caring to his mother. Katy and Cookie made sure they came first. Joseph greedy, never, those people lived in that house a year and a half free.The news made him out to be a horrible person. The horrible people lived in that house., not Jean she got caught up in that horror. In the end she was always on Lenny's side as a mother should. Joseph never felt that type of love from his mother. It's all very sad.
Posted by: guest at February 4, 2008 6:53 PM
Mandi with an i. First of all it sounds like that was a threat, mabye I should report you. I'm a neighbor on Cheever Place. A lot of people are getting sick and tired of hearing your mouth. Your such a tough girl. Bring it on. You want to sling crap about Joey, now its my turn. He wanted to surprise your grandmother, he invited your family to his sons wedding. Jean went crazy. She didn't want any of you there. She started yelling at Joseph and said every time you come to visit her it costs her money, money she has to borrow from Annie. Joseph said it was to late. How did that thoughtful act repay him. Lenny robbed the money Jean put in the envelop (by the way Carmine and Charles saw him do it)Then to top it all your youngest sister was all over the band, that Grace had to yell at her. The only thing that Annie and Joey did for Joseph and Grace was invest in that first business. Things happen. I don't know where you got your information from, but they paid for it. The hate Lenny and Cookie have for Joseph they would say anything to make themselves look good to Annie. Do you want more? Your mother and father couldn't even hold an apartment. Most of the time you lived Jean.More? Ask your mother about Larry Torres and Having Joe Vaccarino's baby. So you see Mandi with an I , I do know plenty about your godforsaken family. Joseph was the only sane one in that family, and to bad Anthony died. Jean always said the wrong son died. Want much more. Keep it up.
Posted by: guest at February 4, 2008 10:10 PM
A friend of mine told me about what you have been saying about Joseph and Gracie. You have no idea what your are talking about. Joe had no choice. Everybody in that house lived for free. How much could he do. Your father ruined everything he had a good thing and took advantage of it. Joseph and Gracie did nothing wrong to your grandmother, it was your father and his socalled wife. They blead her dry. They took all her money. Not Joseph, he offered her a place to live, your father made sure that would not happen. So think about it. Who is really the blame. Your father made her last years a horror. Ask all the neighbors. They know what really happened.
Posted by: guest at February 5, 2008 7:53 PM
Anybody else have anything else to say. Everybody worried about the house when it was up for sale. Cookie, Katy and the rest of the greedy Bolognas were all concerned about the money and what was left in the house. Where were they when the kitchen went in did they offer any money, no. When the new windows went in not a dime was offered. Did they pay the bills? No. They wanted no part of that, but when Joseph was left the house nobody liked that. Katy was the first one to bitch. Like she and her grubby family were entitled to anything. Greed doesn't lie with Joseph. Greedy Cookie and Katy they can't get theirs on their own they have to depend on someone else. Cookie robbed anything she could out of that house when Annie was in the hospital. I could go on and on.

Posted by: guest at February 8, 2008 8:39 PM
This is Joseph's wife Grace. I'v been reading this crap from day one. Everybody new the true story of Lenny. When I married into this family I was very young. I met all of my husbands cousins when I was just 17. Lenny and Anthony were like my brothers. When Anthony died I was sick. I only new Joe's family. I was Joe's wife, but I was always on the outside looking in. The last dime in my pocket I would of bet that in the end this would of happened to my husband. Linda, you know Joseph a long time. Can you honestly say he did what everybody is saying. Just the way your friend just defended you, I need to defend my husband. Joe was always there for his mother. She called, he jumped. She would tell him to do for this one and that one, he jumped. Katy, Cookie and Frankie were that part of the family that had to be watched. Before my father-in-law died he said to Joseph and I watch out for them. All the years with Lenny Inever thought he would do that to Joseph. My father-in-law layed in his bed and Lenny robbed the house. Annie would not listen to Joseph or her husband. Annie and Jean would sneek Lenny in the house. Joe and I never entended to sell the house. When Katy came into the picture everything changed. Right from the start she said "why should I pay rent" When my father-in-law died Annie lost his pension. Where do you think the money came from Joseph and I. Annie would not sell the house. We understood why. We had to something and fast. We refinanced our own home to pay for the house on Cheever Place. Jean always worried about Lenny. Joe found him and said I will fix upstairs for you, that would make Jean happy. That turned out to be a mistake Joseph and I always loved Aunt Jean she always made us feel welcomed and glad to see us. My mother-in-law never showed us that. My kids were never close to her either. She never has a nice word to say to them. When they went to kiss her hello, she would turn her head. So they stopped. Again Jean did love us. She would tell Annie to shut up. So Lenny moved in. Lenny would make Jean and Annie cash their SS checks and he would take it all. Joe and I paid for the house, it cost us $5000 to run that house. When Annie died thats when the shit hit the fan. Katy refused to pay rent from the beginning. We had to try to get her out of that house. She caused so mush trouble. If Lenny paid what he promised Joseph it would of helped. I new he would never pay, but my gullable husband, that I love, thought he still had the love of Lenny as he did as a kid. Lenny went as far as telling him,"you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and I am going to make you choke on it". I'm going to make sure you spend every dime you have on this house. Between Katy Cookie and Lenny the family my husband grew up with and loved, they stuck it up his ass. He was hurt, he never expected it. It put him into a deep depression and had a breakdown. Thank God a grandson was born that helped him. Linda, Mandi,Peter this had nothing to do with your Grandmother, we loved her. She was more of a mother to Joe then his own mother was. We wanted to give her what time she had left happy. She got caught in this because of her son Lenny. He would have no part of her moving with us. He would have no control over her check. As for the insurance policy, we asked our lawyer, we were told we had to give it to him. His name was on it. We knew what he would do with it. We had no choice. In the end he turned out to be the loving son, and my husband got the kick in the ass.

dear grace,
ill tell you the truth what you and joe did or had to do is understandable...jean meant the world to us all and you know that...what im upset with is the FACT that all these people writing in saying they know this and they know that and there the neighbors and there friends when there all just a bunch o back stabbing sons a bitches...you also know that as well as i do....a story will start at one and and blow up by the time it got to the other.....my girlfriend called me late last night and told me what she did .....so i figured id come in tonight to see wht she wrote and when i saw the shit about larry and me and that i had vaccis baby...i just about flipped out....i callled pat and joe and i also emailed this to them, wheather they will reply to it or not i dont know...but it was a descrase to see that ....and to say to mandi that the reason she lived with jean for a while was because we couldnt pay the rent ...dont they know my baby was in the hospital for 7 weeks ...you noticed they didnt say nothing about where pete was cause he was with my mother..'outta sight outta mind' that block will never change....i know that didnt come from the family either just to let you know that...it was someone on that scum of a block.

Linda Annie was not the kind hearted person you might of thought she was. She said very cruel things about everything and every one. She talked behind everybody's back including you. I'm sure she said plenty about me. When all this happened with my husband, Katy told me Annie called me the bitch and it was because of me Joseph was doing this. Joe's grandmother's silver set, it should of been passed on to me and then my children. True? She gave it to KathyAnn. And Cookie made us know it. There are so many things I can say, but what's the use.Enough is enough. My only concern is to get back my husbands good mental health. He will never be the same. When he had the breakdown, it was a terrable time for my family. Look a lot of things were said. Most of them in anger. I hope Mandi can realize it wasn't what we wanted. All of you have a good life. Goodby. Grace.

Now that what has happened to my husband is yesterday's news, I've got something to say. To all the asses who made all the cold hearted remarks, get a life. People like you live off others heartache. You people have nothing to do? To all the family members who grew up with my husband and know what kind of person he really is screw all of you. It was all onesided. All you saw were two elders. These elders had their own family to take care of them. I don't mean Lenny and Patty, the only thing they took care of was Aunt Jeans SS check. Cookie and Frankie wanted nothing to do with their mother. My husband got stuck with her. All they wanted was what she had in the bank. They both have houses with extra rooms. Is that why you put her in a nursing home. It just looked like Lenny was taking care of his mother. It was a roof over his head. He used to live in Prospect Park in the summer and on the trains in the winter. Who had it better then him. My husband put a roof over his head and he used his mothers money and Annie's furniture. There is a God. I hope all of you get yours. I would never wish anyone harm in the past. Now I only wish you suffer as you made my husband suffer.
