Jonathan Vernick--Go Fuck Yourself!

 

Are you tired of Jonathan Vernick's bullshit? Are you an employee of Baker Places who wants to tell "Jonathan Vernick--Go Fuck Yourself"? Are you a Jonathan Vernick hater?

If so, here's your chance to rid Baker Places of Jonathan Vernick!

 1) Contact Jonathan Vernick directly at 517-6500 and tell him it is time to get the fuck out! Also, you can telephone Baker offices at 415-255-6544 and 415-864-4655. 

2) Contact Vernick’s attorney, a Mike Lee, at 415-788-9000 or email: mgwlaw@aol.com and tell him his client needs to get the fuck out!

3) Contact your member of the Board of Supervisors at www.sfbos.org .

If we unite in the "Jonathan Vernick--Go Fuck Yourself!" Movement we can achieve together what we cannot do alone. So be part of a worthy cause and do a good deed today by telling Jonathan Vernick to go fuck himself!   

Readers are invited to visit www.defundbakerplaces.blogspot.com for information exposing Jonathan Vernick. He is a bad actor who has defrauded me out of $200,000, he stands accused of embezzlement, fraud, theft of public funds, forgery, corrupting his employees to engage in unlawful conduct, exposing Baker Places, Incorporation to civil charges which would have defunded Baker, and on and on. It is time for Jonathan Vernick to get the fuck out!

An Open Letter to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors: Why Jonathan Vernick Needs To Fired!

1) Jonathan Vernick nearly had Baker Places defunded when a Client Rights' Advocate was about to file fraud charges based upon a document she had him sign.  Source: April 9, 2015 letter in which Vernick admits to a real estate exchange and thus acknowledges he committed fraud, according to Fancher Larson, a rights' advocate, at 1663 Mission.


2) Jonathan Vernick, who is about 65-years old, has mild, but chronic memory loss consistent with dementia. Others around him know this but are protecting him. Why? Sources: Dozens of personal observations and statements by three individuals who have known him for years.


3) In the 2013-2014 fiscal year he lost over $825,000. out of a budget of $11.8 million. This should be a red flag that something is amiss. The Board of Supervisors need to demand some answers starting with the former CFO, Judith Stevenson. Source: IRS 2014 990 form.


4) Jonathan Vernick defrauded a tenant out of over $200,000 by making a real estate trade but then later denying the exchange had taken place. Source:  Rent Board charge filed on August 10, 2015.


5) According to 2008 audit by the Controller's office of San Francisco into Baker Places, Inc., there is a consistent pattern of unwillingness or inability to following accepted accounting principles. Source: See 2008 audit with San Francisco's Controller's Office. 


6) Jonathan Vernick forged the name of the Chair of the Board, Nick Lederer on a document. I find this quite disturbing if true (and it is true) as it goes to the character of this man.  The March 31, 2015 letter (as was the April 9, 2015) was written by Fancher Larson on his behalf and given to me. The signature for this Internet copy could not have been signed by Mr. Lederer since he knew nothing about the letter when I asked him about it. Sources: Fancher Larson and April letter sent to Mr. Lederer. 


7) Jonathan Vernick had 6 clients removed from 54-56 Francis Street by having case managers tell various lies about repair to the building (when in fact the building was being sold to make up over a $825,000 loss from the previous year). This is disturbing because Jonathan Vernick and/or his representatives have created a culture of deception. Source: Personal observations.


8) The mismanagement of funds has been going on for years and thus a police report was filed about possible embezzlement charges on September 2, 2015 with the San Francisco Police Department. Clearly, without Jonathan Vernick's immediate retirement, nothing will change. Source: See police report.

Top Ten Reasons I Hate Jonathan Vernick

 1. Vernick likes to hurt people—I am very sorry to have to report this, but in my encounters with him from January 27, 2015 to February 24, 2015, I observed a definite streak of sadism in his personality. On several occasions, he showed delight in my having to suffer.

 

2. Vernick is a con artist—My favorite Vernick con was when the house was sold on February 12, 2015 (and Vernick telephoned to tell me so; also, the IRS records verify this is when the building was sold) and then on Febraury 15, he telephones and asks if I would like to stay! I was confused; he telephoned a second time (left a message on my answering machine) saying I would be leaving after all. My best guess: Vernick wanted to renegotiate our original deal and somehow thought if I would agree to stay, he could then make a new agreement.


3. Vernick corrupts those around him—From his employees who were forced to lie to tenants about why they were being evicted (repairing the building) to getting the Client Rights’ Group representative to do his bidding, he always tries to manipulate others to do unethical/unlawful acts.


4. Vernick is in cognitive decline with dementia—It is obvious that 25 years ago when he first started as an executive director he was probably a sharp conman; today, his various manipulations are fairly transparent with someone with a sufficiently high I.Q. (my I.Q. is 135).


5. Vernick has mismanaged the funds at Baker Places. While it is difficult to know if this mismanagement has been intentional (embezzlement) or just incompetence, it’s clear the finances at Baker are in a mess. See: the 2008 audit of Baker Places from the San Francisco Controller’s office and the IRS tax forms (see: November 30, 2015 post on this blog).


6. Vernick has been in the same position for 25 years— I believe Baker Places needs fresh blood.  At some point he will need to retire and now is better than any time before.

7. Vernick has corrupted the Baker Places Board of Directors—I hold the Baker Board responsible for failure to oversee his incompetence and also failure to respond to my requests for meetings with them. This is why he has gotten away with so much: there is no oversight of what he is doing.


8. Vernick has not responded to request after request to peacefully resolve the conflict between him and me. You think I like having to meet with attorneys, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, auditors, work on this blog, post info sheets in public places such as on street light lamps, and on and on…? But my honor is at stake and thus I will continue the good fight… 

 9. Vernick has defrauded me out of my studio apartment—This whole mess started when Vernick wanted both a) the extra $200,000 my vacating from the Francis Street apartment would bring him and b) evicting me a second time from the Fulton Street apartment. If he was not going to honor the original deal (exchanging one apartment for another), he should not have made it. He could not do it in the first place as an attorney was needed to draw up a written contract, as required by law.  

10. Vernick has poor judgment—This fraud case has gone public because Fancher Larson of the Client Rights’ Group (at 1663 Mission) manipulated Vernick into signing a document which left Baker Places exposed to civil charges. Larson had intended to file fraud charges against Baker but I refused to allow her to do so. How does it happen that I could have defunded Baker if I had chosen? In my mind, this shows a man of poor judgment who is unfit to be an executive director of a nonprofit.

Letter to San Francisco Board of Supervisors: Please Stop the Abuse!

Note to readers: Below is a draft of a letter I will be delivering to the Board of Supervisors. Readers are encouraged to contact their representative in your district at:  Board of Supervisors : Supervisors Information.

Because this case involves allegations of 25 years of abuse of clients and employees, I ask each reader to prayerfully consider what they can do to help.

 

 

February 16, 2016

 

Dear Member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors:  

Due to allegations of abuse by Jonathan Vernick to clients and employees over the past 25 years, I am requesting that you defund Baker Places, Inc. and give its $12 million allotment from the taxpayers to Conard House. 

Over the past month, I have communicated with Barbara A. Garcia, the director of the Department of Public Health (DPH) and she has lied  about a public announcement concerning Jonathan Vernick (I have an email from her office) being due by February 15, 2016.  I would be grateful if members could please ask her to put aside possible friendships and alliances and protect the abused from Jonathan Vernick!

I have emails, written statements, and oral statements from former clients and employees who have alleged abuse and I will be happy to share these at your convenience. Please telephone me at 415-865-0734 for additional information.

Copies of this letter will be hand-delivered to Supervisors: London Breed, Aaron Peskin, Mark Farrell and Jane Kim. I will be requesting a following up meeting by February 27, 2016. Thank you for your kind attention.

 

Sincerely Yours,

Harry Petersen

Readers: Demand Garcia Fire Vernick! Letter being sent to Dept. of Public Health Head

February 13, 2016




Dear Barbara A. Garcia:


In the February 7, 2016 "Jonathan Vernick Fraud Update" (see post on www.defundbakerplaces.blogspot.com ) I promised I would begin my public campaign anew if your office made no announcement about Jonathan Vernick by February 15, 2016. To honor my promise, I will be returning to meeting with the Board of Supervisors, place "Jonathan Vernick--Go Fuck Yourself!" flyers in public and contacting media outlets.


Because this case involves allegations of abuse towards clients and employees for the past 25 years, I expect you to set aside any friendships and prior alliances you may have and dismiss Jonathan Vernick.


If you want to review emails, written accounts, oral statements, the names of former employees who have claimed abuse by Jonathan Vernick, then please telephone me at (415)-865-0734 at your convenience.  Twenty-five years of abuse is enough!


Sincerely,






Harry Petersen

Call for Mayor Lee to Kick Some Ass!

Note to Readers:

 

The following is an update to the October 5, 2015 letter I sent Mayor Lee. Readers are invited to contact the Honorable Mayor Lee at: Office of the Mayor : Contact the Mayor. Let him know 25 years of abuse is enough!

Also, note that I will check in at the DPH Headquarters at 101 Grove Street, Room 308, this Friday, February 12, 2016 to see about when the announcement in this case will be; I will let readers know as soon as I can.

 

February 9, 2016

 

Dear Mayor Lee:

What if you knew you were supporting abuse? Would you do anything about it? As a taxpayer of San Francisco you are supporting abuse by supporting Jonathan Vernick, the executive director of Baker Places. According to emails and accounts from former clients and employees, I estimate the numbers of abuse victims in this case could run into the 100’s as this abuse has been going on for over 25 years! Thus, as I call upon you again as I did in my October 5, 2015 letter for your kind assistance.

I would be grateful if you would put in a good word to Barbara A. Garcia, the Director of Public Health, and let her know that San Franciscan values includes the basic rights of human beings to be treated with respect. On my blog, www.defundbakerplaces.blogspot.com , I highlight some info about Jonathan Vernick:

* The $12 million the City gives Baker Places is linked with the investments of the real estate speculator, Pablo Tisker.

 

* Employees at Baker were forced to engage in illegals evictions at 54-56 Francis Street.

* Vernick has lost over $825,000 of the taxpayer’s money in 2014 (see IRS form 990).

 

Here's how you can help:

Let's set about defunding Baker Places and giving the $12 million to Conard House to administer. This will be a public lesson to future bad actors that the Mayor of the City knows how to kick ass when someone screws up!

 

Twenty-five years of abuse is enough! Thank you for your kind intervention.

 

Sincerely Yours,
