On 4/22/03 the Boston Inspectional Services requested Plaintiff to testify at a hearing it filed against the Landlord LeBlanc.  BIS requested Plaintiff to testify that LeBlanc had not repaired nor attempted to repair the violations originally cited in October 2002 that were evidenced in her Beacon-Hill apartment.  Instead of being called to testify against LeBlanc Plaintiff was called by the Courtroom to respond to a complaint docket # 03 CV 0350 that she had not been served process.  To Plaintiff’s shock and surprise immediately the attorney (Russell Howard Esq.) representing BIS handed Plaintiff a complaint filed by the Inspectional Services earlier with filing a certificate of service.  The Complaint was for a citation allegedly issued on 3/10/04 for odors in her apartment that she had properly appealed and had been a waiting an appeal hearing thereon.  Since Plaintiff had just received the notice Judge Winic of the Boston Housing Court set aside a date for the parties to return on May 6th, 2003 for a pretrial conference not a hearing!  At no time did Plaintiff receive a notice for a hearing on her appeal requests.

 

  1. In addition on this same day (4/22/03) after court Plaintiff invited the Inspectional Services to re-inspect her apartment and it found no violations and/or condition as sever as those that would warrant condemnation.  During this same visit Plaintiff was in the process of moving and many of her belongings were boxed and or removed.  Plaintiff informed the BIS that her intentions were to stay in the apartment and exhaust her legal remedies.

  1. On 5/1/04 the Defendants Joyce, Kennedy, Curran, Rice and BIS Doe 1-2 held a press conference and distributed private images and impressions of Plaintiff’s apartment seized as described hereinabove at paragraph 6-7 without right, or consent from Plaintiff.  The said Defendants conducted a public condemnation hearing without right, without the process of law and with the intent to defame Plaintiff and to fraudulently disseminated private images, impressions and false information about Plaintiff to the media and informed the media that Plaintiff was required to attend its fraudulent hearing.  At no time on or before 5/1/03 did Plaintiff receive proper notice of this fraudulent hearing scheduled for 5/1/04.

 

  1. On 5/1/03 the above mentioned the BIS Defendants, knowingly staged a fraudulent condemnation hearing against Plaintiff without right, without the due process of law, without policy and circumstance against the laws of the Commonwealth and the federal government meant to produce public scorn, completely ruin Plaintiff’s reputation, defame her and deprive Plaintiff her rights protected by the Constitution of the United States and the Commonwealth.

13.  On or about 4/30/03 Menino gave a public address announcing to the media and declaring it his goal to ban Plaintiff from renting (living) on Beacon Hill and/or Boston.

SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION

UNLAWFUL SEARCH AND SEIZURE

(By Plaintiff against all BIS Defendants Joyce, Kennedy and Rice)

COUNTS IV - V

VIOLATION OF 42 USC sec 1983

VIOLATION OF THE 4th Amendment

PUBLIC & JUDICIAL DECEPTION

 

  1. Plaintiff re-alleges and alleges the allegations of paragraphs 1-17 hereinabove and incorporates them by this reference as though fully set forth herein.

 

  1. The action against BIS Defendants Joyce and Kennedy individually and their agents, servants and employees, for violation of Constitutional rights under color or authority of state law, is actionable under 42 USC section 1983 and arises out of the conduct, transactions and occurrences as alleged in the original and this amended Complaint.

 

  1. Defendant Joyce and Kennedy are not immune to a civil action Fourth Amendment violations by state officials acting in their official capacity.

 

  1. Damages are an appropriate and judicially manageable remedy for an invasion of personal interests in liberty, for the case presents a focused remedial issue without difficult questions of causation and valuation, and there are no applicable special factors counseling hesitation in the absence of affirmative action by Congress.

 

  1. On 4/27/03 Defendant Kennedy entered Plaintiff’s apartment knowing there was no search warrant authorizing his entry.  Plaintiff did not authorize or give consent and there was no probable cause for such emergency and/or exigent circumstances.  Over the next several hours Kennedy and BIC Doe 1-3 took over 60 photographs entering and exiting, manipulating and staging many of the said photos.  Over the next several days Kennedy entered and exited Plaintiff’s apartment on numerous occasions, taking photos, rummaging through her property opening doors to refrigerators, freezers and cabinets previously shut and in good operating order and ordering an armed BIS employee to stand guard outside of Plaintiff’s apartment door.

 

  1. On 4/27/03 Kennedy executed emergency orders to condemn Plaintiff’s apartment and signed the orders. 

 

  1. On 4/28/03 Kenney executed a case report on the said incident of condemnation “the unit filled with garbage, debris, animal feces and urine, egress blocked by debris, exposed electrical wires hanging in two rooms no lights. 

 

  1. What really was present and evident in the 60 photographs taken during by Kennedy himself and his employee during the first few hours of his unlawful and unauthorized entry there were no garbage, animal feces and urine nor debris blocking an egress.  Not one photograph represents the severe allegations made by Kennedy to support his claims of condemnation. And the only one photograph actually shows animal feces is the photograph of the cat litter box in the apartment where the animal feces is inside the litter box were it should be with 6 cats in an apartment. pursuant to privileges entrusted upon him by the Commonwealth without probable cause, circumstance evidence for such drastic orders.

 

  1. Kennedy continues his said reporting to include that “There is a heavy accumulation of needles and syringes and multiple vial of medicine for animals throughout the unit.” Except again no photograph demonstrates this allegation.  Kennedy months later swears under oath that there were syringes and needles wrapped in plastic contained in boxes stored in closed cabinets and that the multiple vials of medicine were in cabinets.

 

  1. Kennedy continues said report “There is a heavy foul odor of decay coming from the kitchen refrigerator” Months later Kennedy swears under-oath that the refrigerator was running, cold and the seal around the door was intact.  That when he opened the freezer he found snow and ice and it too had an intact rubber seal around the door.  “The refrigerator was opened and in plan view you could see an accumulation of dead animals, some out in the open others wrapped in plastic bags.  The freezer was also filled with dead cat carcasses”.  Again no photograph taken of the inside of the refrigerator and freezer demonstrates validity to this accounting, no dead animal is evident and none in plain view.

 

  1. Kennedy continues said reporting: “There is also an accumulation of animal blood on the floor”.

 

  1. What really is on the floors is evident as the finished hardwood floors were painted with a hard white enamel deck paint and that anything on the floors are easily evident.  There was no blood except from Kennedy’s own staging despite the apartment being in disarray mostly because of the Boston Fire Department’s 5 Firemen entering through a window tipping over stacked boxes near the window and exciting a rather large (Great Dane) dog who also reacted by knocking other things over there is little is any normal accumulation of dust bunnies.  The numerous photographs taken by BIS and Kennedy himself don’t show that any blood was on the floor at the beginning of the time the photographs taken evidenced by the clock on the wall seen in the photos and the condition of the cabinet doors and contents of the refrigerator prior to the contents being taken out and then spilled on the floor and if there was any blood on the floor it was a result of Kennedy and or his agents staging the photographs.  Most of the photos have been staged as they, depiting the same scene, change as items are placed in the view and the clocks time progresses. What Kennedy declared is contradicted by the photographs he and his agents took during the first few hours of their unauthorized, unwarranted and unlawful search of Plaintiff’s apartment.

 

  1. Kennedy completed his official reporting by declaring that “The Animal Rescue League Officer informed us that the unit and the cats have ring worm. The entire unit and exterior yard is deemed as unfit for human habitation as well as a biological hazard scene”.

 

  1. Kennedy’s issuance of the emergency condemnation orders was based on false representations and omissions of material facts by Kennedy.  Kennedy knew or should have known that to declare a scene a biological hazard, an extreme measure were seizure of unwholesome food, compulsory smallpox vaccination, and removal of tubercular cattle raised to the level of emergency biological hazard area Boston v. Ditson, 4 Mass. App. Ct. [323], 328 [1976].  No such emergency was present in Plaintiff’s apartment, Kennedy issued a condemnation and declared the Plaintiff’s apartment a biological hazard despite receiving notice by the Angel Memorial Animal Hospital that the cats were “in good condition” any statement that the cats and unit have ringworm, from an unqualified animal officer, as Kennedy further reports, who is not recognized as trained in biological hazards, microbiology and/or disease pathology could and should have carried any credibility as to the identification of a infectious disease area.  Kennedy knew or should have known that the biological hazard didn’t raise to the level of declaring the unit unfit for human habitation and condemnation and/or to declare that Plaintiff’s apartment posed a biological hazard. 

 

  1. Kennedy’s reporting contained deliberate falsehoods and reckless omissions of material facts which Kennedy knew or should have known for example that the Plaintiff was moving and that she lived with multiple cats and an older Great Dane.  Kennedy reported that both animal control and ISD has a history with tenant but failed to include that Animal Control keep Plaintiff’s telephone number in cases of emergency and that the Great Dane to be dying.  That ISD had, as recently as 5 days before this incident, inspected the apartment and understood Plaintiff to be moving finding nothing that raised to the level as declared by Kennedy to condemn and/or issued emergency orders regarding a biological hazardous area.

 

  1. On 4/27/03 and before Kennedy issued said report on 4/28/03 Veterinarian Ladan Mohammad-Zadeh, of Angel Memorial Animal Hospital reported that “cats seem to be in good condition” and just as important there is nothing in Dr. Mohammad-Zadeh’s report to indicate that the cats are a biological hazard or that they could be a infectious hazard a determination that if it existed Dr. Zadeh would have been compelled and obligated to report.

 

  1. On 4/27-5/1/03 Joyce entered and exited Plaintiff’s apartment and spoke to the media reporting falsehoods and materially inaccurate and misleading declarations to the public in an attempt to defame Plaintiff’s reputation and to deceive the public.  Joyce said “there is blood, dead cats, feces and urine on the floors everywhere” Joyce ordered his employees to gown themselves in biological hazard suits and masks, kept an armed BIS employee outside of Plaintiff’s door for days and knowingly did these actions to lead the media and public to inferences that would set into motion public scorn, incriminating ideas and disgust.  Joyce knew and/or should have known his statements and actions were false, inaccurate and misleading. Kennedy and Joyce set into motion a series of acts by others which he knew or reasonably should have known would cause others to inflict constitutional injury upon Plaintiff.

 

  1. On 5/1/03 Kennedy testified and presented the above false reporting, materially inaccurate and misleading declarations and unlawfully seized photos and impressions to a BIS hearing officer Defendant Rice support his position of his rather unlawful, unwarranted and unreasonable condemnation and declaration of a biological hazardous area without affording Plaintiff notice.  Rice knew and or should have known that conducting such a hearing without affording due process of law upon Plaintiff (no certificate of service indicated service and no legal authority provided for such a hearing) and/or without the full truth wrong.

 

  1. On 5/6/03 Kennedy filed and requested an emergency hearing at the Boston Housing Court seeking emergency orders to procure an eviction of Plaintiff without the due process of law and without summary process pursuant to the laws of the Commonwealth.  Against Kennedy testified and presented the above false reporting and materially inaccurate and misleading declarations to a Court of law.  Kennedy’s judicial deception was brought about by material false statements and/or material omissions is of no consequence; by reporting less then the total story and truth, Kennedy deliberately manipulated the inferences drawn by the Judge (Defendant Kyriakakis herein).

 

  1. Furthermore, Kennedy’s deliberate falsehoods and reckless omissions were material because without the dishonestly included or omitted information, both Judge Kyriakakis and/or hearing Officer Rice would not have issued orders of condemnation and a preliminary injunction restraining Plaintiff from the use and enjoyment and access of her apartment; and would not have resulted in the media and public to scorn Plaintiff; the remaining information in the Kennedy report and emergency orders would have been insufficient to establish probable cause, condemnation and/or preliminary injunction.

 

  1. In addition the July  2003 probable cause hearing on allegations brought against Plaintiff for animal abuse and at a hearing on Motion to Suppress both held at the Boston Municipal Court was supported by Kennedy’s testimony and reporting were he testified under oath misrepresenting, and omitting the facts evidenced in the photographs and conditions of Plaintiff’s apartment and cats.  Kennedy set into motion a series of acts by others which he knew or reasonably should have known would cause others to inflict constitutional injury upon Plaintiff.

 

  1. Kennedy’s conduct was even more outrageous because the ruse to condemn Plaintiff’s apartment was used to conduct a full-scale assault on Plaintiff’s property and exculpatory evidence.  Such a dramatic intrusion on property and privacy was tainted by the staged and materially falsehoods and omissions in the Kennedy reports and testimony.  Kennedy and Joyce are not entitled to qualified immunity because their conduct was not objectively reasonable and was thoroughly unprofessional.

 

  1. Because of the above-recited facts, Kennedy and Joyce, under the color or authority and pretenses of the statutes, laws, regulations, customs and usages of the State of Massachusetts, deprived Plaintiff of her rights, privileges and immunities secured to her by the United States Constitution, including but not limited to:

 

    1. Plaintiff’s Fourth Amendment right to privacy and security in her person, house, papers and effects, to be free against unreasonable searches; and

 

    1. Plaintiff’s right to be free in her person against unreasonable seizure.

 

  1. The actions of Defendants Joyce, Kennedy, Rice, Curran, BIS Doe 1-3 violated Plaintiff’s clearly established statutory or Constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known.

 

  1. The actions of hereinabove said Defendants impeded and hindered the course of justice with the intent to deny Plaintiff the equal protection of the laws.

 

  1. As a direct and proximate result of the outrageous and wrongful acts of Kennedy, Joyce and each of the Defendants, Plaintiff suffered, extreme indignities and humiliation, severe emotional and physical distress, pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of liberty and loss of standing in the Community, and has been held up to ridicule before her peers.

 

  1. Plaintiff s entitled to recover any and all actual damage, in a sum to be determined according to proof at trail, proximately caused by the wrongful acts hereinabove complained of and alleged herein.

 

  1. Defendants Kennedy, Joyce and Rice and their agents acted willfully, maliciously, intentionally, oppressively, and in wanton and reckless disregard of Plaintiff’s constitutional rights and the possible consequences of their conduct.  Accordingly, Plaintiff is entitled to and hereby demands punitive and exemplary damages by way of punishing and deterring Defendants in the amount of no less the Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00).

 

  1. The actions of the said Defendants, jointly and severally, entitle Plaintiff to an award of exemplary and punitive damages

  1. Plaintiff received no notice for entry into her apartment but with shock and horror watched the seizure and entrance into her privacy of her apartment on TV and for days later she was made to look criminal, morning noon and night, defamed, and her privacy of the inside of her apartment and belongings published, adulterated and broadcasted around the world with the intent to do as much emotional, reputational, defamation and assault upon her that no person in a civilized world should be expected to endure.
