SETH S. PATINKIN’S VERIFIED COMPLAINT AND JURY DEMAND

SETH S. PATINKIN, by and through his attorney, Joe Frankus, bring forth this cause of action against the above – named Defendants:

INTRODUCTION

1. Seth S. Patinkin (“Patinkin”) is a noted alumnus of Indiana University who resides in Chicago, Illinois.
2. Patinkin, who is Jewish, has owned rental properties since he graduated from Indiana University (“IUB”) in 1998. Patinkin currently owns and/or is the agent for four (4) properties in Bloomington located at: 414 E. 1^st Street, 816 E. 2^nd Street, 709 South Anita and 319 E. 12^th Street.
3. In December of 2004, Patinkin entered into a business partnership with Defendant Jan P. Szatkowski (“Szatkowski”) for the purpose of purchasing student rental properties in Bloomington.
4. Szatkowski would soon reveal his anti – Semitic sentiment.
5. In July of 2005, Patinkin brought suit against Szatkowski for breach of contract relating to their business partnership. That suit, Patinkin v. Szatkowski (Cause No. 53C04 0507 PL 01424), is currently pending in the Monroe Circuit Court of the State of Indiana.
6. Shortly after being sued, Szatkowski’s attorney, William J. Beggs (“Beggs”) launched into a series of judicial and extra – judicial measures to force Patinkin to abandon his legitimate claims.
7. Beggs enlisted the help of the City of Bloomington in an attempt to destroy Patinkin’s student rental property business and to secure a favorable outcome in the Patinkin v. Szatkowski lawsuit.
8. The City has used the Title 20 Zoning Ordinance (“Title 20”), a regulation that limits occupancy in certain non – grandfathered houses to three (3) unrelated adults, as a pretext to deprive Patinkin of his civil rights under law.
9. The City has told Patinkin’s student lessees that they were violating Title 20 when in fact they were not. The City further suggested that the student lessees vacate the premises in violation of valid leases between Patinkin and his student lessees.
10. The City’s Title 20 enforcement policies have resulted in multiple student lessees vacating Patinkin’s student rental properties in violation of valid leases.
11. City employee, Neighborhood Compliance Officer (“NCO”) Kevin Bowlen (“Bowlen”), told Patinkin during an official rental home inspection of Patinkin’s property that:

“We do not like your kind of people around here. You are going to be fined a lot and there is nothing you Jews can do about it. Your kind of people have no business owning property around here.” Bowlen muttered “F------ Jews” as he exited the home.

Bowlen’s comments were made in the presence of Pamela Koszut (“Koszut”),

Patinkin’s fiancée.

12. Bowlen has falsified documents relating to Patinkin’s rental properties.
13. In response to Patinkin’s pleas, the City reluctantly investigated Bowlen’s targeted actions towards Patinkin. The City determined that there was no improper conduct by Bowlen.
14. The City has employed Title 20 to direct unannounced late night Police visits to student lessees residing in Patinkin’s rental homes. Police entered a home without permission and threatened “possible jail time” for alleged Title 20 over – occupancy violations.
15. The City has continued to demonstrate that it has an interest in forcing Patinkin to discontinue his student rental property business in Bloomington.
16. To this end, the City has additionally enlisted the help of permanent residents unhappy with rental homes in their neighborhoods, IUB via its legal clinic, Student Legal Services (“SLS”), and cooperated with Beggs and his associates.
17. Szatkowski, his attorney Beggs, and RE/MAX realtor Andrew Walker (“Walker”), have attempted to have Patinkin’s student lessees sign a false certification document drafted by Beggs (“Beggs Release”) in direct conflict of an existing Court Order relating to the Patinkin v. Szatkowski case.
18. SLS has advised Patinkin’s student lessees to sign false statements and breach valid rental leases.
19. Permanent residents, unhappy with student rental homes in their neighborhoods, have cooperated with the City in their attempt to oust Patinkin from the student rental business in Bloomington.
20. Patinkin has made numerous attempts to try to work out an amicable arrangement with the City to no avail. These attempts have included: copies of valid leases, affidavits from Patinkin’s property managers and student lessees, rent receipts and countless letters and e – mails to City agents and employees.
21. Patinkin has and continues to suffer an illegal and unjustified attack on his civil rights, property rights and reputation as a result of the defendants’ ongoing conspiracy to cause Patinkin’s student rental business to fail.
22. The net effect of this conspiracy between the defendants is that Patinkin’s student rental property business has been nearly ruined and Patinkin’s personal and professional reputation in Bloomington has been permanently harmed.

159. On or about 19 June 2006, Mulvihill stated that she thought it would be a good idea to meet with permanent resident Southern to discuss the alleged Title 20 violations by Patinkin and his student lessees. Mulvihill stated:

“Jenny, I copied Sarah Liu on this e – mail. Sarah is one of the new City attorneys and she is actually taking over the over – occupancy caseload…. We think a lunch meeting would be most cost effective; this way no [one] has to starve the rest of the day…. Thanks, Patty.”

part of this Complaint.

164. C. Gutowsky subsequently demanded that a car be moved. Student lessee Byrd went outside and moved the car. C. Gutowsky then told Berman that he and his roommates were going to be kicked out of their home by the City.
165. On or about 07 December 2005, K. Gutowsky walked through the front door of 414 E. 1^st Street and asked Berman if he was Adam (Adam Mikos – City alleged 414 E. 1^st Street over – occupier that resided at 816 E. 2^nd Street). Berman responded that he was not Adam and K. Gutowsky then requested that a car be moved. (See Exhibit I)
166. On or about 21 November 2006, Assistant City Attorney Sarah Webber - Liu wrote to Southern:

“Jenny – are you acquainted with Theodore Miller? [Mr. Miller is a neighbor of 414 E. 1^st Street]. I would like to get him to come in and sign an affidavit regarding over occupancy at 414 E. 1^st Street, but am having a hard time getting him on the phone…. Thank you SO much, S.”

A copy of this e – mail message from Liu is attached hereto as Exhibit P1 and made part of this Complaint.

167. Later that day, K. Gutowsky responded to Southern:

“Jenny, here is Ted’s e – mail address…. I put a print out of this e – mail on his doorstep”.

A copy of this e – mail message from K. Gutowsky is attached hereto as

Exhibit Q1 and made part of this Complaint.

168. On or about 18 November 2006, Southern wrote to Liu:

“…. As for Seth [Patinkin], I noticed that his property on 414 1st has had trash bags in the front yard for the last 2 weeks – care to sic HAND on them?”

A copy of this e – mail message from Southern is attached hereto as Exhibit R1

and made part of this Complaint.
