PART B — Primary Chronology¶

B.1 September 6, 2017 — Narrative Statement Conference (Primary Source)¶

WT-119 identifies Michael Bobick in the attendance list as:

"Michael Bobick, Assistant General Counsel for the Loft Board acting as mediator"

WT-119 records the following statements attributed to Bobick:

"Bobick will get back to all parties regarding a timeline of next steps in the next few days."

"Bobick specifically said, he will 'put a hold on the project after certification until Marty comes to a signed PAA with the tenants (and lawyers)' - he will, 'hold Marty to his word' that this will get done by threatening to hold the project."

WT-119 also records, in the same discussion:

"Marty said he 'promised'."

WT-119 further records that:

the Loft Board intended to schedule a mold / leak inspection through Petrucci using inspector Sumeet Sood;
mold / leak survey responses were to be routed through Petrucci by 9/7 at 10:00 a.m.;
and a 45-day PAA drafting window was discussed after plans were filed for objections or cleared.

Current-corpus absence note: The present corpus does not contain:

a written PAA executed after the September 6, 2017 conference;
the Bobick timeline email referenced in the notes;
a document showing that the project-hold mechanism was actually imposed;
or any record of Sumeet Sood's inspection findings.

Corroborating absence note: The Neratoff December 13, 2020 letter, later filed as Exhibit B to the July 6, 2022 OATH Reply, states:

"No 'PAA agreement' was entered into; I am not aware of any negotiations to resolve open issues and no actual PAA for such changes was filed at the Department of Buildings."

B.2 August 2020 — Bobick Appears as BBG Counsel in HP 6086/2020¶

The HP 6086/2020 e-filing consent identifies:

Belkin Burden Goldman, LLP
as "Attorneys for Respondent American Package Company, Inc."
signed "By: Michael M. Bobick, Esq."
dated August 13, 2020

The document also lists Bobick's BBG email address: mbobick@bbgllp.com.

NYSCEF Doc #8 — August 12, 2020 Stipulation¶

The August 12, 2020 stipulation in HP 6086/2020 identifies:

Belkin Burden Goldman, LLP
as "Attorneys for Respondent"
signed "By: Michael M. Bobick"
dated August 12, 2020

WT-117 Docket Summary¶

WT-117 records Bobick in three factual places:

Doc #2: NYSCEF consent signed by Elizabeth Sandercock and Michael M. Bobick (Belkin Burden Goldman)
Doc #8: two-attorney stipulation signed by Sandercock and Bobick (BBG)
Attorney Rotation table: Bobick listed under respondent's counsel for the 2020 period

B.3 March 23, 2021 — Sandercock Correspondence About Bobick and BBG¶

In the Sandercock Attorney Correspondence archive, a March 23, 2021 email reproduced at archive pp. 854–856 states:

"I have spoken with 5 different lawyers at Belkin Burden about legalization for our clients and related issues: Lisa Gallaudet, Michael Bobick, Christina Browne, David Skaller and Joe Burden."

The same email continues:

"In dealing with Lisa and Michael, it was agreed that the structural work, mold eradication that one of our clients needs, and legalization would all be done at the same time."

"Lisa agreed to our scope of work for the mold work. Michael agreed to our scope of work less the removal of one wall."

"Since that time, I have been dealing with other lawyers at the firm mentioned above, and have been unable to make progress on the PAA's, adequate mold remediation and coordination of all work at the same time. In fact, the coordination of the work has been refused."

The same email also states:

"There is an appearance of impropriety as follows: at the 2017 narrative conference which was well attended by my clients, it was stated by Mr. Bobick who ran the conference that there would be another conference."

"There was also discussion at that conference of the PAA's. Nothing happened for more than a year, then the 45 day clock was abruptly run Bobick [sic] without holding another conference, and soon after, Mr. Bobick went to work at Belkin Burden."

Transcription note: The phrase "run Bobick" appears to omit the word "by." The quotation above is reproduced verbatim from the Sandercock correspondence; the [sic] notation confirms this reflects the source text as written.

"It is bad enough that we cannot ask Mr. Bobick what happened as he has a conflict of interest."

"I felt the right thing to do about this issue was to speak with Mr. Burden and that he would remedy the perceived problem. This has not happened."

B.4 March 26 and March 30, 2021 — Loft Board Follow-Up Correspondence¶

A March 26, 2021 email from Stephan Clarke, Assistant General Counsel, Loft Board, asked Sandercock to provide:

"any written documentation regarding Owner's alleged promise to file PAA's for you clients."

In a March 30, 2021 follow-up email, Sandercock wrote:

"According to our client Christian Gray who attended the Sept. 2017 narrative conference, and to Angelo Costa, the owner's architect at the time, the owner undertook to do PAA agreements for those tenants who wanted to, but PAA's were never done."

She also wrote:

"These refer to the landlord's promise to do PAA's and Michael Bobick's commitment not to issue certification unless and until PAA's were done."

B.5 October 11, 2021 — Sandercock Statement About Bobick's Employment Timing¶

At archive p. 1090, in an October 11, 2021 email to Kevin Schultz, Sandercock wrote:

"We have produced detailed minutes of the last narrative conference prepared by Heather Troy, the former head of the TA in the building, which confirm the agreement to do PAA's and include a statement by Michael Bobick, Esq., who conducted the legalization conferences, that he would not issue certification unless PAA's were done."

The same email continues:

"Mr. Bobick now works at Belkin Burden Goldman, which continues to represent the landlord, a job he acquired within 2 months of issuing Loft Board certification without requiring PAA's!"

Source-characterization note: The statement about job timing ("within 2 months") is recorded here as Sandercock's written statement. Independent documentary confirmation of Bobick's start date at Belkin Burden Goldman has not yet been located in the current corpus.

B.6 May 2021 / July 2022 Tribunal Use of the Underlying Conference Notes¶

WT-119 documents two tribunal-use facts for the September 2017 conference notes:

In May 2021, Sandercock sent the notes to Christian Gray with proposed authentication instructions for the Phil Hubbard access matter.
In July 2022, Sandercock filed the notes as Exhibit A to the OATH Reply on Motion to Consolidate in OATH 22-1754 / 22-1758.

The July 6, 2022 OATH filing used the September 2017 notes to support the proposition that:

the landlord made oral PAA-related commitments,
Bobick described a project-hold mechanism,
and the access proceeding risked mooting the harassment challenge if heard first.

PART D — Secondary Workbench References (Pending Primary Verification)¶

D.1 August 2018 Narrative Conference¶

Internal workbench records describe an August 2018 narrative conference at which:

unresolved unit issues, including HVAC / mechanical / split-system topics, were discussed;
a verbal PAA understanding was described;
and a follow-up conference was expected.

These items are useful for development but do not yet have a primary authenticated source equivalent to WT-119 in the present corpus.

D.2 Approximate Loft Board Departure Timing¶

Internal workbench records describe Bobick as leaving the Loft Board in or about April 2019. This remains pending independent verification.

D.3 Use Rule¶

Until primary records are obtained, August 2018 and April 2019 workbench references should be treated as development leads, not hard anchors equal to WT-119 or the HP docket PDFs.
