Purple Tab B007 — Scope Manipulation & Execution Fraud: Criminal Referral Package¶
GUARDRAIL: PURPLE — STRATEGIC INTEGRATION
Strategy, framework integration, and settlement positioning. References Blue/Red/Brown damages; does not duplicate calculations.
PART A — SCOPE & GUARDRAILS¶
A.1) Document Scope¶
Core Steps 3-4-5 Question:
After obtaining a comprehensive professional assessment (Step 3), securing insurance funds and court approval based on that comprehensive scope (Steps 1-2), did the landlord side and allied entities: - Manipulate contractors by using their professional assessments for pricing intelligence while intending to deny contracts and execute reduced scope, - Substitute a materially different scope by issuing field instructions inconsistent with the court-ordered comprehensive scope, and - Execute fraudulent work by performing a fraction of what was required while creating the appearance of compliance?
What B007 Covers: - Step 3: Contractor manipulation and bid shopping (Roussis/Total Restoration) - Step 4: Scope substitution — field instructions vs. court order (Coleman “one layer drywall only”) - Step 5: Work execution fraud — 7-day compressed work window; material non-completion - The betrayal phase connecting B004 (Promise) to B010 (False Certification) - Evidence of systematic scope reduction and execution failure
What B007 Does NOT Cover: - Insurance fraud / claim-phase conduct (B001-B003) - Court Stipulation / Promise establishment (B004-B006) - False certification / PRV issues (B010-B012) — though B007 provides predicate evidence - Bank fraud or OATH matters (pointer lanes B013-B018) - Damages calculations (Blue/Red/Pink sections)
A.2) Audience & Purpose¶
Primary Audiences: - District Attorney / Attorney General intake — contractor fraud, scheme to defraud, conspiracy - NYC / NYS construction and environmental regulators — contractor standards violations - Internal litigation team — to understand criminal exposure in Steps 3-5 - Settlement team — as evidence of systematic misconduct between promise and certification
Document Role: - This is an internal prosecution-readiness template for Steps 3-5 - It organizes contractor manipulation and execution fraud evidence to permit referral if counsel chooses - It does not direct or require any referral - All charging decisions remain with prosecutors; all referral decisions remain with counsel - This document is never handed directly to regulators or prosecutors without separate drafting
A.3) Language & Posture Guardrails¶
Preferred Terms: - “contractor manipulation,” “scope substitution,” “execution deviation” - “field instruction divergence,” “systematic reduction,” material non-completion - “exposure,” “potential liability,” “professional standards violation”
Prohibited Terms: - “criminal mastermind,” “destruction,” “annihilation,” “career death” - “devastating,” “explosive,” “guaranteed conviction”
Labeling Convention: - [Fact] — documented in White evidence - [Inference] — reasonable conclusion from facts - [Argument] — strategic or legal characterization (requires attorney approval)

PART C — THE THREE-STEP NARRATIVE (STEPS 3-4-5)¶
C.1) Step 3: Contractor Manipulation “The Bait”¶
Timeline: Late November 2019 – February 2020
Core Conduct:
[Fact] In late November 2019, Chris Roussis of Total Restoration, Inc. conducted a professional site assessment of G21 following the October 13, 2019 flood. (WT-203, §B; WT-104, B.0)
[Fact] Roussis performed moisture testing and prepared a preliminary demolition specification. His professional conclusion was that full-gut demolition down to the studs was required. (WT-203, §A)
[Fact] Roussis was present at the December 11, 2019 pre-inspection meeting (B.1 in the four-event framework). (WT-104, §B.1; WT-203, §B)
[Fact] Christian Gray collaborated on the assessment by providing a detailed methods and materials Excel spreadsheet documenting studio construction. (WT-203, §3)
[Fact] The landlord used the Roussis assessment and Gray’s documentation to support insurance claims and court filings. (WT-203, §3)
[Fact] Despite using Roussis’s comprehensive assessment, the contract for full-gut remediation was denied. A different contractor (SERVPRO) was later hired with a materially reduced scope. (WT-203, §A)
Step 3 Pattern:
[Inference] The landlord engaged a professional contractor to obtain a legitimate comprehensive assessment, used that assessment for insurance and court purposes, then denied the contract and executed a fraction of what was professionally recommended.
[Argument] This bid manipulation pattern demonstrates premeditated intent to use professional assessments as cover for insurance and court proceedings while never intending to perform comprehensive remediation. The contractor was manipulated as a tool for documentation, not remediation.
C.2) Step 4: Scope Substitution — “The Switch”¶
Timeline: July 20-27, 2021
Core Conduct:
[Fact] Seven months after the court approved the comprehensive scope (Dec 8, 2020), SERVPRO workers arrived at G21 to perform remediation work during July 20-27, 2021. (WT-106, §D; WT-208, §B)
[Fact] Raheem Coleman was the on-site supervisor/lead during the July 2021 work window. He worked under Ronnie Garcia. (WT-208, §A-B)
[Fact] Coleman reported the field instructions he received as: Only remove “one layer” of drywall and only the bamboo layer of the flooring system. (WT-208, §C.1)
[Fact] The party wall probes — four 24”×24” exploratory openings required by the court order — were “not mentioned” in Coleman’s instructions. (WT-208, §C.1)
[Fact] The ceiling probes to the wood deck were “not mentioned” in field instructions. (WT-208, §C.1)
Comparison to Court Order:
[Fact] The Dec 8, 2020 scope (WT-108A) required: - Studios 1-3: Remove walls to studs and floors to slab; remove ceilings - Four party wall probes (24”×24” each) - Ceiling probes to access wood deck - Comprehensive HEPA/detergent cleaning of all exposed framing
[Fact] The field instructions (as reported by Coleman) specified: - One layer of drywall only - Bamboo wear layer only - Party wall probes “not mentioned” - Ceiling probes “not mentioned”
[Argument] The divergence between court-ordered scope and field instructions is not ambiguous or technical — it is categorical. Removal to studs vs. “one layer” and removal to slab vs. bamboo wear layer are fundamentally different operations. The omission of required probes cannot be attributed to field discretion.
C.3) Step 5: Work Execution Fraud — “The Quiet Failure”¶
Timeline: July 20-27, 2021 (work); July 28, 2021 (PRV inspection); August 2022 – July 2023 (exposure)
Core Conduct:
[Fact] The SERVPRO remediation work at G21 took 7 days (July 20-27, 2021). (WT-106, §D; WT-208, §B)
[Fact] ALC Environmentals PRV inspection occurred on July 28, 2021 one day after work ended. The PRV report issued August 3, 2021 certified that the apartment had “achieved clearance” and was “free and clean of mold contamination”. (WT-108)
[Fact] On August 18, 2022 approximately 12-13 months after the PRV Edward Olmsted documented the following non-completed items (WT-109, §D-E): - Studio 1 floor not removed to slab; two layers remaining; visible mold on damp underside - Bathroom raised floor not done - Bathroom/kitchen shared wall not opened - Party wall probes never cut - Ceiling probes never cut
[Fact] Olmsted stated: The affirmation is “replete with misleading and incorrect statements” brings into question the veracity of the entire document. (WT-109, §D)
[Fact] On November 7, 2022, Olmsted documented three additional deficiencies and noted visible mold in probed areas. (WT-110)
[Fact] On July 12-17, 2023, the unit flooded again. Email subject line: “G21 Flooded Again!” Photos documented visible black mold in the same areas that should have been cleaned ~23 months earlier. (WT-111)
Step 5 Pattern:
[Inference] The work performed during July 2021 was a fraction of what was court-ordered. The 7-day work window and 1-day PRV turnaround suggest the reduced scope was planned in advance, not a response to field conditions.
[Argument] The July 2023 re-flood serves as a real-world audit of the 2021 remediation. Visible mold in the same areas ~23 months after clearance demonstrates that the remediation either was never properly performed or failed entirely.
C.4) The Three-Step Connection¶
Step 3 Step 4 Step 5:
| Step | Action | Evidence | Strategic Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Step 3 | Use professional contractor for comprehensive assessment; deny contract | Roussis (WT-203) | Created documentation for insurance/court |
| Step 4 | Issue field instructions diverging from court order | Coleman (WT-208) | Enabled reduced-scope execution |
| Step 5 | Execute reduced work; certify completion | Olmsted (WT-109/110), Re-flood (WT-111) | Created false record of compliance |
[Argument] Steps 3-4-5 form a coherent pattern: obtain legitimate documentation (Step 3), substitute different instructions (Step 4), and execute a fraction of the documented scope (Step 5). This is not negligent remediation it is systematic scope reduction conducted while maintaining the appearance of compliance.
PART D — PROOF TABLE (Element — Evidence — Gaps — Next Actions)¶
D.1) Proof Element Matrix¶
| # | Element | Evidence (White Pins) | Status | Gap | Next Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Professional assessment existed | WT-203: Roussis comprehensive scope; WT-104: B.0 | Documented | Written assessment document | ROUSSIS-ASSESS-01 |
| 2 | Assessment used for insurance/court | WT-203, §3: Used for claims | As Reported | Insurance claim documents | INS-CLAIM-DOC-01 |
| 3 | Contract denied after assessment | WT-203, §A: Contract denied | As Reported | Denial correspondence | ROUSSIS-DENY-01 |
| 4 | Different contractor hired | WT-208: SERVPRO performed work | Documented | SERVPRO engagement docs | SERV-ENGAGE-01 |
| 5 | Field instructions diverged | WT-208, §C.1: One layer / “bamboo only” | As Reported | SERVPRO work orders | SUBP-SERVPRO-01 |
| 6 | Probes “not mentioned” | WT-208, §C.1: Not mentioned | As Reported | Coleman formal statement | COLEMAN-LOCK-01 |
| 7 | Work performed in 7 days | WT-106, §D; WT-208, §B | Documented | Daily work logs | SERV-LOGS-01 |
| 8 | PRV 1 day after work | WT-108: Jul 28, 2021 inspection | Documented | ||
| 9 | Non-completion documented | WT-109: Olmsted Aug 2022 findings | Documented | Olmsted photos/notes | 109-EVID-01 |
| 10 | Visible mold after clearance | WT-110: Nov 2022; WT-111: Jul 2023 | Documented | Native media w/ EXIF | 111-META-01 |
D.2) Evidence Strength Assessment¶
Tier-1 (Current As Reported):
[Fact] Roussis performed professional assessment concluding comprehensive scope required. (WT-203)
[Fact] Coleman received field instructions materially different from court order. (WT-208)
[Fact] Olmsted documented non-completion and described PRV as “replete with misleading statements. (WT-109)
[Fact] July 2023 re-flood documented visible mold in same areas ~23 months after clearance. (WT-111)
Tier-2 (Post-Collection Upgrades):
- SERVPRO work orders and daily logs (SUBP-SERVPRO-01)
- Coleman formal statement locking testimony (COLEMAN-LOCK-01)
- Roussis assessment documentation (ROUSSIS-ASSESS-01)
- Native photos with EXIF from July 2023 (111-META-01)
[Argument] Tier-1 evidence is sufficient to establish the pattern of scope manipulation and execution fraud. Tier-2 collection converts as reported testimony into documentary proof suitable for criminal referral.
PART E — LEGAL THEORIES & ELEMENT MAPPING¶
E.1) New York State Criminal Exposure¶
NY Penal Law § 190.60 Scheme to Defraud in the First Degree:
| Element | Evidence | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Intent to defraud | Systematic scope reduction despite professional recommendations and court order | [Inference] |
| Scheme or plan | Steps 3-4-5 pattern: assess → deny → substitute → execute less | [Argument] |
| Obtain property or defraud | Insurance proceeds obtained based on comprehensive scope; reduced work performed | [Inference] |
| Multiple victims or $1,000+ | Court deceived; tenant harmed; insurance potentially defrauded | [Fact] |
NY Penal Law § 175.35 Offering a False Instrument for Filing:
[Argument] If SERVPRO or ALC submitted documentation to the court asserting compliance with the court-ordered scope when work diverged materially from that scope, such filings may constitute false instruments.
NY Penal Law § 105.10 Conspiracy in the Second Degree:
[Argument] Coordination between landlord, SERVPRO, and ALC to execute reduced scope while representing compliance suggests conspiracy to commit scheme to defraud.
E.2) Federal Criminal Exposure¶
18 U.S.C. § 1341/1343 Mail/Wire Fraud:
[Argument] If interstate communications or mail were used in furtherance of the scheme (e.g., insurance claims, interstate contractor communications), federal mail/wire fraud statutes may apply.
18 U.S.C. § 371 Conspiracy:
[Argument] Multi-party coordination across “contractor manipulation,” “scope substitution,” and false certification may support federal conspiracy charges if jurisdictional hooks exist.
E.3) Regulatory Exposure¶
NYS DOL Mold Licensing:
[Argument] If work was performed without proper mold contractor licensing, or if licensed professionals supervised non-compliant work, professional discipline may be available.
Local Law 61 of 2018:
[Fact] Olmsted stated that required LL61 filings (Work Plan Notification, Work Plan, Post-Remediation Assessment Form, Post-Remediation Certification) were not filed. (WT-109, §H)
[Argument] Failure to comply with LL61 filing requirements creates additional regulatory exposure.
E.4) Relationship to B010-B012 (Step 6)¶
[Argument] B007 establishes the predicate for B010-B012 (False Certification). B007 proves what actually happened during execution; B010 addresses how that execution was misrepresented through the PRV and court filings.
Evidence Handoff: - B007 establishes: Scope substitution occurred (Coleman); work was non-compliant (Olmsted) - B010 establishes: PRV falsely certified compliance despite knowledge of deviation
PART F — WITNESS ANALYSIS¶
F.1) Primary Witnesses¶
Chris Roussis (WT-203) STEP 3 WITNESS:
[Fact] Roussis is the professional contractor who conducted the original comprehensive assessment. He concluded full-gut demolition was required. (WT-203, §A)
[Fact] Roussis was present at the December 11, 2019 pre-inspection meeting (B.1). (WT-104, §B.1)
[Inference] Roussis has no apparent stake in the outcome he did not receive the contract. His testimony establishes that a professional assessment existed and was comprehensive.
[Argument] Roussis establishes the bait in Steps 3-4-5: the landlord obtained legitimate documentation of comprehensive scope requirements, used that documentation for insurance and court purposes, then denied the contract.
Cooperation Assessment: - [Inference] Geographic distance (Texas) may complicate testimony - [Inference] Family connection to Total Restoration NYC may facilitate cooperation - [Argument] As a professional with no contract relationship, he has no loyalty to landlord
Raheem Coleman (WT-208) STEPS 4-5 CENTERPIECE WITNESS:
[Fact] Coleman was the on-site supervisor during July 20-27, 2021 work. (WT-208, §B)
[Fact] Coleman reported field instructions as “one layer drywall only” and “bamboo layer only”. Party wall probes were “not mentioned”. (WT-208, §C.1)
[Fact] Coleman is currently a Production Manager at SERVPRO a professional with reputation to protect. (WT-208, §A)
[Inference] Coleman is a neutral third-party professional he has no stake in the landlord-tenant dispute. His testimony is credible because he was simply following instructions.
[Argument] Colemans testimony is the linchpin of Steps 4-5. He proves the scope substitution occurred. He cannot be dismissed as a biased party he is an independent professional describing instructions he received.
Cooperation Assessment: - [Fact] Contact established: 201-725-6612 (WT-208, §A) - [Inference] Professional courtesy approach likely to succeed - [Argument] Recommend early outreach through counsel for formal statement
Ronnie Garcia (WT-207) INSTRUCTION CHAIN WITNESS:
[Fact] Garcia was SERVPRO lead/initial estimator; Coleman worked under Garcia. (WT-207, §C; WT-208, §B)
[Fact] Garcias employment status later changed (departed). (WT-207, §C)
[Inference] Garcia may have knowledge of scope instruction origin who provided the reduced instructions.
[Argument] Garcia is important for establishing the management-to-field instruction chain. If he received comprehensive scope but transmitted reduced instructions, that suggests intermediate authorization.
Cooperation Assessment: - [Inference] Departure from SERVPRO may reduce corporate loyalty - [Argument] Locate and approach for voluntary statement (GARCIA-LOCATE-01)
Edward Olmsted (WT-204) EXPERT WITNESS:
[Fact] Olmsted documented non-completion in August 2022 and November 2022. (WT-109; WT-110)
[Fact] Olmsted stated the PRV was “replete with misleading and incorrect statements”. (WT-109, §D)
[Argument] Olmsted provides the expert foundation converting scope deviation into technical proof. His credentials (CIH, CSP, NYS Mold Assessor) establish professional credibility.
F.2) Witness Sequencing (Per P-203)¶
[Argument] Recommended deposition order for Steps 3-4-5 witnesses:
- Raheem Coleman Lock scope instruction testimony first
- Ronnie Garcia If locatable; establish instruction chain origin
- Chris Roussis Establish comprehensive assessment baseline
- Edward Olmsted Provide expert documentation of non-completion
- Jack Glass Confront with margin notes and Coleman testimony
- Martin Kofman Final; confront with full instruction chain evidence

G.4) Referral Packet Design¶
[Argument] For DA/AG intake, organize evidence into priority packets:
Priority Packet 1 Scope Deviation: - Court-ordered scope (WT-108A; Stipulation Exhibit 1) - Coleman statement re: field instructions (when locked) - SERVPRO work orders showing actual scope (when collected) - Scope comparison matrix (WT-106)
Priority Packet 2 Non-Completion Proof: - Olmsted August 2022 findings (WT-109) - Olmsted November 2022 follow-up (WT-110) - July 2023 re-flood photos/video (WT-111) - Replete with misleading statements quotation with pinpoint
Priority Packet 3 Contractor Manipulation: - Roussis comprehensive assessment (when collected) - Evidence of contract denial - SERVPRO engagement for reduced scope - Timeline showing assessment denial substitute contractor
PART H — INTEGRATION WITH OTHER LANES¶
H.1) Relationship to B001-B003 (Step 1: Insurance Fraud)¶
[Argument] B001-B003 establishes that the landlord misrepresented conditions to insurance. B007 shows that the same comprehensive scope used for insurance claims was never performed. The insurance received funds for comprehensive remediation; the landlord performed fraction.
Evidence Coordination: - Insurance claim scope (B001) should match Roussis assessment (B007) - Insurance proceeds vs. work performed creates disgorgement baseline
H.2) Relationship to B004-B006 (Step 2: Court Stipulation)¶
[Argument] B004-B006 establishes the Promise what the landlord committed to the court. B007 establishes the Betrayal how that commitment was systematically undermined through scope substitution.
Evidence Handoff: - B004 provides: Dec 8, 2020 scope baseline (WT-108A) - B007 provides: Field instruction divergence (WT-208); execution failure (WT-109)
H.3) Relationship to B010-B012 (Step 6: False Certification)¶
[Argument] B007 provides the factual predicate for B010-B012. B007 proves what happened; B010 addresses how it was misrepresented.
Evidence Handoff: - B007 proves: Scope was not executed as ordered - B010 proves: PRV and affidavits falsely stated otherwise
H.4) Chain Integration¶
| Chain | B007 Relevance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Chain A | G21 Scope deviation | WT-106, WT-108A, WT-208 |

| Chain F | Corporate identity for targets | WT-301, WT-303 |
| Chain G | Environmental assessment sequence | WT-107, WT-109, WT-110 |
PART I — REFERRAL CONSIDERATIONS¶
I.1) Venue Analysis¶
Kings County DA (Recommended Primary): - [Argument] Situs of conduct (G21 location) - [Argument] Housing Court fraud connection (HP 6086/2020) - [Argument] Local DA familiarity with landlord-tenant fraud schemes
NY Attorney General: - [Argument] Multi-party contractor fraud; potential pattern across properties - [Argument] Consumer protection angle (contractor manipulation)
NYS DOL / Professional Discipline: - [Argument] If licensing violations confirmed (303-NYDOL-LIC-01) - [Argument] Contractor standards enforcement
I.2) Referral Timing¶
[Argument] B007 referral should coordinate with: - 303-NYDOL-LIC-01 completion (Scenario A/B determination) - Coleman testimony locking (COLEMAN-LOCK-01) - SERVPRO document collection (SUBP-SERVPRO-01)
[Argument] Do not refer B007 independently of B010-B012; the scope deviation (B007) and false certification (B010) are interdependent elements of the same scheme.
I.3) Defense Anticipation¶
Potential Defense: Field conditions required scope adjustment - [Argument] Counter: No contemporaneous documentation of condition changes; Coleman received instructions inconsistent with court order from the start
Potential Defense: Work was substantially completed - [Argument] Counter: Olmsted documented categorical non-completion (floors not to slab, probes never cut, visible mold)
Potential Defense: Contractor discretion - [Argument] Counter: Court order specified mandatory scope elements; probes and removal depths are not discretionary
