Dear Sir, Mr. Ron Coburn,
Iam writing to Appeal Code Enforcement issued against 27 Spruance Road, Dover Delaware
in the amount of $750.00 which comprised
the Case that was already resolved through heating in 2022 by the Judge.
The Judge ordered that I finish the Work that was being done at the house at a certain time and
Electricity be restored. I did exertly that. The inspection was done then they restored the
Electricity. The Water was the only thing that they decided to release one day, and restraine
another. Maybe as a form of punishment to me, am not sure why are doing that. I called and
was told to wait at home, but no body showed up. My usage is usually low because I am using
it alone. And each time am home I make sure I get enough Sleep because I am undergoing
though a Medical Treatment that has course my Doctor to authorize me to do only certain
Jobs. And I don't get enough Sleep at Work. It is called Leave-in Job, as an Aide Or Helper,
also called House Sitter, wherby I stay over at an Elderly Patient's Home and e the
Companion for an assigned Period. Also I make sure to switch the Main Switch Off before I
go to Work because People were Stealing my Electricity and coursing me to pay more my
Mom and my Nephew wanted to stay with me, but your Boss Ms Alison insisted No. She
wanted my Mom to sign as my Tenant which will be contrary to my Culture. So they went
back to Philly. I explained to two of your assistants, Mr.Charlce Smith, and Mr.Delance Ross,
who came to my house at 6:45 am respectively wanting to Measure the inside of the house.
And insisted on going upstairs to the Rooms, but I refused. Two weeks later Mr. Chard showed
up also from City of Dover.

Thank you so much Ron, for taking out time to reply to my massage on your Vacation hours. Am grateful and also sorry
to have disturbed your personal time. This again speaks on the type of good person that you are.
It also reminded me of your compassion towards your customers when in 2015 you rushed to this same House to know
whether Or Not the large Hole that was suddenly observed by my Elderly Neighbor in the back of my House was a Sink
Hole. You assured me that it wasn't, you gave me your Card and said Dover is a safe place, added that if] ever have any
problem to call you.
From all that has trespassed, including the relentless Harassments from this Woman who happens to be the Boss at
City of Dover, and who makes decision over my Bills. it is safe for me and my family to now believe that the large Hole
that suddenly appeared right by the door of my back yard in 2015, was the start of these Harassments, Intimidation,
And Threats.
When you get back, | wish to know when | can show you all my Receipts. Ms. Allison your Boss has taken it upon
herself to create all these Stressful Environments for me for no reason. [have not wronged her in anyway. According
to a reliable source, She for some reasons, is under the impression that | Own these Houses where | go to Seat as
Helper, and Companion for the Elderly.
, LJ
Page 12
These unnecessary Situations is to the point that when | go to pay my Bills, She would run outside to the parking [ ten. |
approach me to know whether or not am going to be in the house. | have pleaded with this Woman to forgive me if!
ever offended her in anyway, yet the Harassments continued. The Code violation | received was after | went to her for
permission as the contractor was to complete the Work at the House. She authorized that the Electricity connection be
held off during this time. Then She turned around and reported this House as Vacant which was Shocking to me to see
someone in her position behave in that manner. This is very UnAmerican. These type of things did not take place
when Ms. Denise was the Manager.
| have had relentless Anonymous Texts massages and phone calls asking me to vacate the house because they want to
buy it. | have replied, Over and Over that this House is Not for Sale nor for Rent. It has already been assigned to those
who will take over from me. And they are clearly not people that would be patient like | have been.
This is the only place where | can come to have Peace and Quiet and get enough Sleep after spending days and hours at
other People's Houses for a little Pay Check, with little or No Sleep during my Scheduled Stays serving the Sick and
Elderly. For now, | don't have the Luxury of 9am--5pm Jobs.
This is the only type of job that the Doctors recommended for me to do due to my Ongoing Health Situation. It is
Ordered that | receive Medical Treatments Out of State with different Doctors for the Injury that | sustained. This type
of Job is regarded as a "Light Duty" because of it's ability to minimize Stressful Traveling Periods, and encourages
Savings Money on Utilities Bills, Food, as well as not having the needs to Own a Car or buying Gas. The pay is usually
minimal, but incorporated to cover all the Room and Board for the amount of Days, Hours, or Weeks that the Elderly
Patient needs the help. Another house usually starts right after one ends.
Leaving--in Job will mean that When at work, even if it's my time to Sleep and the Patient needs help to use the
Bathroom, am still required to get up and assist him or her, even though | am still recovering from my own Injury and
have to Comply with every Doctors Appointments Out of State as authorized.
For me, not being in the house 24/7 does not make the house Vacant. In as much as | would like to stay home and
watch TV all day, | still need to make a leaving. When | get Home, | Only use One small Fan, turn the Light on and off,
Pick out New Clothes, change to new Outfit, then | get some Sleep. | alone do not have Appliances to Course High
Electricity Bills. My Bills have always been small. For years, | have Saved Money doing this type of Jobs even when |
worked in the Hospital Setting. | still worked in the same way ona part time basis. That's how | was able to Save
Money. | usually bring Home Cooked Food from Work.
My Mom and my Nephew wanted to stay with me, around enough to Create Electricity Bills for Ms. Allison and City of
Dover, but Ms. Allison didn’t want them here unless they sign Paper as my Tenants which my Mom did not appreciate
so they both went back to Philly where they don't have to deal with such rules, and where People feel Free to leave
their lives. Family should always be family.
On one occasion, my Monthly Bills became very high and am usually Working Or out. I came home on this day and the
light was Cut Off. | went to the Office, to ask why and your Boss, Ms, Allison refered me to Mr. Adams for
inspection. When Adams got here he picked up fight with me while talking to Someone on the phone. It seemed like
this Person was basically directing him on what to say to me. He then started claiming that my Meter would have to be
changed because the Colour is BROWN and that | would have to pay $600.00 to get it done and that he knows
someone who will do it. So | reminded him that every other Neighbor's Meters has the same Color as mine, He then
acted angry and left. So | decided to consult an Independent Electrician who said nothing was wrong with my Meter.
Another City Inspector came in and completed the Inspection and delcared that nothing was wrong with the
Meter. After which, | was charged a $100.00 to reconnect. It was then that | decided to turn the Main Switch Off each
time that I left the House to prevent Ms. Felicia who happens to be affiliated with The City of Dover from using her
Long Cords to plug my Electric while Seated inside of her Big Truck in front of my house and using my Electric when am
away for Work or elsewhere.

Now a similar incident is happened again, on June 26 2023, on the same Week that | went into the Office paid my
Cash, the same exert Bill was sent again to my phone to be due in the same Month. She must have seen me when [
came inside to pay. | was unable to pay through the Window, because it will not be accepted unless | drive through. |
did not have my Car on that day.
A Person by the name Mr. Chard called me on a Number that is not related to my City of Dover records, said that he
was at the house to remove the Meter, but the gate was locked. So 1 explained to him that People have been going
inside of the Yard vandalizing and throwing dirt's in the Yard, this is why | luck the gate. On getting to the House same
Week Friday as | had agreed with the said Mr. Chard, Ms. Allison had already Ordered for my Flectric to be Cut off again
and the Usage on the online record now showed as 00 (zero) Usuage. Quite different from the Numbers seen online on
the same Week that | paid my Bills. On the day | paid, my light was still on when I turned the Main Switch on.
In addition to all the Intimidations, | would receive Water some days and Non other days. | had to look for elsewhere
to stay during this Holiday Week end. Right now | have (48) Forty Eight Gallons of Water filled up and Saved. | usually
Shower at Work and bring home Cooked Food. So She can keep her Utilities. But | have written to the NAACP with all
my Receipts in regards to these ongoing Mistreatments, Harassments, Stress inducing Situations, and life Threats
Two Men who previously showed up at my House as early as 6:45am respectively during the Month of June 2023,
showed me a City ID and your Card that states your Name Mr. Ron Coburn and said thal they were
your Assistants. And tried to get up stairs for Measurements. They also said that you will be holding on to my Deed
until the Measurements are done. Both of these Men including Mr. Chard came to me with out any Formal Notice
from the City of Dover.
Things like this should not happen in a place like USA. Because in the Third World Country where | came from,
Americans are known for their Big Hearts and not the Opposite.
Please see how you can get involved and help me as you had promised in 2015.
Thank you, and remain Blessed.
