PART C -- Judicial History¶
Judges Involved in HP 6086/2020¶
| Judge | Role | Date(s) | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kenneth T. Barany | Signed original Order to Show Cause | June 2020 | Doc #4 |
| Julie Poley | Presided at first HP appearance | July 20, 2020 | Doc #1 |
| Michael L. Weisberg | Presided at second and third HP appearances | Aug 14 and Sep 18, 2020 | Doc #1 |
| [Signature consistent with "Stoller"] | SO-ordered the June 29, 2021 stipulation | June 29, 2021 | Doc #10, p. 1 (pending confirmation) |
| Jack Stoller | Decided Bard v. Mautner-Glick; referral to him requested by Skaller | Jan 19, 2022 (Bard); Jul 28, 2022 (request) | Doc #21; Doc #17 |
| Remy Smith, J.H.C. | Decided Motion to Restore (denial); conference judge | Sep 29, 2023 (decision) | Doc #37 (3 independent refs); Docs #31, #32 |
Note on "J.H.C.": This abbreviation appears after judicial names throughout the docket (e.g., "Hon. Remy Smith, J.H.C." in Docs #31, #32; "Hon. J. Stoller, J.H.C." in Doc #17). It is a title abbreviation for "Judge of the Housing Court."
Remy Smith Identification¶
Doc #37 contains three independent documentary references confirming Hon. Remy Smith as the judge who decided the Motion to Restore:
- Notice of Appeal (p. 1): identifies the decision as issued by "Hon. Remy Smith, J.H.P."
- Notice of Entry (p. 2): identifies the decision as by "Hon. Remy Smith, J.H.C."
- Decision signature block (p. 4): "BY: Remy Smith, J.H.C."
The RATA appellate form (p. 5) also states: "Judge (name in full): Hon. Remy Smith."
Stoller Referral Request¶
Doc #17 (Skaller's Affirmation in Opposition, p. 1) requests: "This matter should be referred to Hon. J. Stoller, J.H.C." Stoller had decided Bard v. Mautner-Glick (Doc #21) in the respondent's favor on January 19, 2022. The Motion to Restore was instead decided by Judge Smith.
Appellate Term Panel¶
The Appellate Term disposed of the appeal by order dated September 23, 2024 (Doc #38). Panel: Hon. Cheree A. Buggs, J.P.; Hon. Wavny Toussaint; Hon. Marina Cora Mundy. Appellate Term Docket: 2023-01216 KC.
PART D -- Affidavits and Rebuttal Record¶
This section documents the competing sworn statements filed in connection with the Motion to Restore (Motion #1), along with related subsequent events identified in the project record.
D.1) Affidavits in Opposition (Filed July 28, 2022)¶
Kowalewski Affidavit (Doc #18):
Candice A. Kowalewski, MPH, of ALC Environmental, submitted a sworn affidavit stating:
- ServPro conducted remediation "with the prescribed scope of work" and ALC was present every day from July 20-27, 2021 (para 6)
- ServPro completed remediation on July 27, 2021 (para 7)
- "No deficiencies or irregularities related to the scope of work were observed" (para 11)
- "It is my expert opinion that the Respondent-Owner met the requirements of the scope of work" (para 12)
Doc #18 includes Kowalewski's resume and professional license (MA01387). Page 14 contains her NJAIHA training certificate appendix, which lists course instructors. The entry for June 17, 2014 (Epidemiology/Biostatistics) identifies Jack Glass as the instructor.
Glass Affidavit (Doc #19):
Jack Glass, MS, CIH, of ALC Environmental, submitted a sworn affidavit stating:
- ALC/Kowalewski "documented ServPro's performance fully addressed the scope of work" (para 5)
- ServPro "completed the remediation work as stated in the scope of work" (para 6)
- Olmsted's post-remediation inspection found mold because Olmsted "conducted additional demolition of the ceiling and walls" without "standard regulatory precautionary measures" (para 12)
- Olmsted's probing "is not a standard and customary method to inspect for mold" (para 13)
- "Unconventional construction techniques" were "the sole cause of inaccessible mold" (para 14)
- "Olmsted's improper post remediation inspection caused the Apartment to be re-contaminated with mold" (para 15c)
Doc #19 includes Glass's CV documenting 35+ years of environmental consulting experience.
D.2) Reply and Rebuttal (Filed August 31, 2022)¶
Sandercock Reply Affirmation (Doc #22):
Margaret B. Sandercock filed a reply affirmation itemizing 11 specific scope items that were not completed, with reference to the court-ordered scope of work (Doc #10, Exhibit 1):
| Item | Scope Requirement | Status per Reply (Doc #22, para 5) |
|---|---|---|
| (a) | Rooms 1-3 gut demolition | Only one layer of sheetrock removed; visible mold behind insulation in Room 1 ceiling |
| (b) | Room 1 wood flooring removal to concrete slab | Not done |
| (c) | Rooms 1-2 ceilings removal to deck above; deck cleaning | Not done |
| (d) | Wood framing cleaning | Not possible because wallboard was never removed |
| (e) | Bathroom raised floor removal (under tub/hot water heater) | Not done |
| (f) | Bathroom-kitchen shared wall sheetrock removal | Left in place with visible mold |
| (g) | Shared wall with neighboring unit -- sheetrock removal to cavity | Not done |
| (h) | Lower 4 feet of common hall wall removal | Not done; visible mold present |
| (i) | Four 2x2 probes into wall cavity | Not cut |
| (j) | Living room ceiling probes | Not cut |
| (k) | Mold remediation filings (pre and post, per Local Law 61 of 2018) | Not made |
Doc #22, para 10 describes the conduct as a "one-two shuffle" by the landlord's professionals, who "on visiting the premises post-remediation, in July 2021, stated that further remediation was required and that the landlord's approval would be obtained, but who now, inexplicably, falsely state that the entire scope of work was performed and that nothing further is required."
Doc #22, para 12 states that Olmsted "did not make any holes of any sort," directly contradicting Glass's claim that Olmsted caused re-contamination through demolition.
Olmsted Reply Affidavit (Doc #23):
Edward A. Olmsted, CIH, CSP, submitted a sworn affidavit curing the evidentiary deficiency identified in the opposition (Doc #17 had argued Sandercock's motion relied on attorney affirmation without personal knowledge).
D.3) Subsequent Non-Docket Events Relating to the Affidavits¶
Source-layer note: The first three entries below are documented in correspondence and hearing records outside the NYSCEF docket. They are included here for chronological completeness because they bear on the accuracy of the filed affidavits, but their sourcing is separate from the court-filed documents analyzed in this tab. The NYSCEF docket itself establishes that the Feb 1, 2023 court date occurred (see Part H, adjournment chain) but does not contain a transcript or record of what was stated at that proceeding.
| Date | Event | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 7, 2022 | Skaller stated in correspondence that the scope was "not completed" | Email record (not a NYSCEF filing) |
| Nov 3, 2022 | Skaller offered to withdraw the Glass and Kowalewski affidavits | Email record (not a NYSCEF filing) |
| Feb 1, 2023 | At the HP conference, Skaller stated the affidavits were "inaccurate" | Verbal statement at hearing (not a NYSCEF filing); hearing date confirmed by adjournment chain (Part H) |
| Sep 29, 2023 | Judge Smith denied the Motion to Restore on procedural grounds without reaching the question of whether the scope of work was completed (see Part E) | Docs #31, #32 (NYSCEF) |
D.4) Glass-Kowalewski Professional Relationship¶
The following facts are documented regarding the professional relationship between the two affiants:
- Glass served as Kowalewski's NJAIHA course instructor in June 2014 (Doc #18, p. 14)
- Both were employed by ALC Environmental at the time of their affidavits (Docs #18, #19)
- Glass's margin comments (JG1-JG8) appear in the court-filed scope of work (Doc #10, Exhibit 1; see Part F)
- Kowalewski signed the ALC Post Remediation Verification Report dated August 3, 2021 (Doc #20)
- Both affidavits were filed on the same date (July 28, 2022) by the same counsel (Phillips)
PART E -- Decision on Motion to Restore¶
Decision Summary¶
On September 29, 2023, Hon. Remy Smith, J.H.C., issued a Decision/Order denying the Motion to Restore (Docs #31, #32). The decision addressed procedural compliance with the stipulation's notification requirements. It did not reach the merits of whether the scope of work was completed.
The Court's Stated Reasoning (Doc #31; also reproduced in Docs #32 and #37)¶
Judge Smith's analysis proceeded through the following findings:
-
The stipulation required respondent to submit a Post-Remediation Report after completion of the scope of work.
-
Upon receipt of that report, petitioner's counsel was required to send Olmsted to inspect within 5 days ("Olmstead Inspection Deadline") and provide his own report within 14 days.
-
The motion was "devoid of the respondent's remediator's Post Remediation Report that was to trigger the Olmstead Post-Remediation Report."
-
Olmsted's report (Doc #16) was "completely devoid of the date that respondent's remediator 'cleared the work,'" so the court could not determine whether petitioner met the inspection deadline.
-
While respondent attached its PRV report, there was "no proof that it was emailed in compliance with paragraph 5" of the stipulation and "no proof that Olmstead conducted his inspection within 5 days of the email."
-
Conclusion: "The ability to bring this motion was therefore never triggered and the motion must be denied."
Scope of the Decision¶
The following issues were not addressed in the decision:
- Whether the scope of work was completed as required by the stipulation
- The 11 specific scope deficiencies itemized in the Reply Affirmation (Doc #22, para 5a-k)
- The accuracy of the Glass and Kowalewski affidavits (Docs #18, #19)
- The Skaller correspondence regarding scope completion and affidavit accuracy
- The Olmsted findings regarding remaining mold conditions
Appeal¶
Kozek filed a Notice of Appeal on October 31, 2023 (Doc #37). The RATA appellate form (Doc #37, p. 5) stated the basis of appeal: the order "improperly denied the motion based upon arguments that were never raised in opposition to Petitioner's motion and which are unsupported by the law and the so-ordered stipulation of settlement."
The Appellate Term dismissed the appeal on September 23, 2024 for failure to perfect (Doc #38). No extension of time to perfect had been granted. The appeal was on the dismissal calendar and dismissed without reaching the merits. See Part G for details.
PART F -- Jack Glass Margin Comments in Court-Filed Scope of Work¶
Source¶
The SO-ordered stipulation (Doc #10) includes Exhibit 1: the scope of work for mold remediation at G21 (pages 8-11). This exhibit, as filed with the court, contains 8 handwritten margin comments by Jack Glass. The comment text below was identified by visual inspection of the court-filed exhibit pages, not by automated text extraction (the handwritten annotations are not reliably captured by OCR). The quoted wording should be verified against the page images for any use requiring verbatim accuracy.
Comment Inventory¶
| ID | Glass Comment Text | Location in Scope |
|---|---|---|
| JG1 | "Except as noted in 6, below" | Adjacent to gut demolition requirements |
| JG2 | "I would require only 2 feet to expose and examine" | Adjacent to exposure/inspection requirements |
| JG3 | "Since the entire apartment will be cleaned at the end...one containment (limited) will be needed" | Adjacent to containment protocol requirements |
| JG4 | "Not a fan of biocide. We are paying the contractor to remove the visible growth" | Adjacent to biocide/treatment requirements |
| JG5 | "No need to seal up the waste. It is construction debris" | Adjacent to waste disposal/safety requirements |
| JG6 | "Not a thing. ALL water is microbial containing. IT is a good thing!" | Adjacent to contamination/water testing requirements |
| JG7 | "I prefer simple household detergent" | Adjacent to cleaning solution specifications |
| JG8 | "What is significant" | Adjacent to clearance threshold requirements |
Relationship to Subsequent Events¶
- The scope of work with these annotations was SO-ordered on June 29, 2021 (Doc #10)
- Remediation was performed July 20-27, 2021
- ALC issued its PRV report on August 3, 2021 (Doc #20), certifying the apartment had "achieved clearance"
- Olmsted's post-remediation inspection (August 16-17, 2021) documented remaining mold conditions
- Glass co-signed an affidavit on July 28, 2022 (Doc #19) stating the scope was completed
- The Sandercock Reply (Doc #22, para 5a-k) itemized 11 scope items not completed
Cross-reference: These comments are also documented in WT-106 (Stipulation integration) and WT-108A (scope of work). Doc #10 is the court-filed original confirming the annotations are part of the official record.
PART G -- Appeal Record¶
Notice of Appeal¶
Michael P. Kozek (filed as "Kozek-Perkins, M.") of Ween & Kozek PLLC filed a Notice of Appeal on October 31, 2023 (Doc #37). The appeal was directed to the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court from Judge Smith's September 29, 2023 Decision/Order.
The RATA appellate form (Doc #37, p. 5) stated:
