 Property I.D. Also Facing Charges of Malicious Prosecution Following Dismissal
of Lawsuits Against Former Employees

    SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- National Disclosure
Authority (NDA), an independent hazard disclosure company, has announced that
it has filed a lawsuit ("NDA, et al, v. Property I.D., et al") against
Property I.D. (PID) for anticompetitive activities.
    The Lawsuit against PID cites a number of unlawful anticompetitive activities
engaged in by PID in the marketplace. The lawsuit includes claims for unfair
and unlawful competition, trade libel, misappropriation of trade secrets,
conversion, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, and
false advertising of its products, services, and claims regarding PID's
insurance coverage. For example, the lawsuit states that PID has falsely
advertised that each of its reports is a "$20,000,000 Insured Product."
    "Throughout the proceedings, PID vigorously resisted any disclosure of its
insurance policies," said Ronald Arena, Esq., attorney for NDA. "We are
encouraged in our suit by the fact that PID has not claimed that its insurance
representations from 2002 to 2007 were true," he added. The Court recently
denied PID's motion to prevent the disclosure of its insurance policies, and
demanded that it make its insurance brokers available for deposition. The
Court also recently denied PID's attempt to have the case against it
dismissed.
    "NDA has amassed an abundance of information regarding the anticompetitive
acts engaged in by PID," said Arena. "Moreover, we believe that NDA will
prevail on its claims against Property ID."
    "Property I.D. is attempting to distract their clients from the real
issue -- their false insurance representations -- by using mud-slinging
tactics and hoping to focus attention elsewhere. No matter how many false
claims and personal attacks they make against their competitors, they cannot
escape the fact that they lied to their clients, and continue to do so," said
Sergio Siderman, founder and president of NDA.
    Litigation Against Property I.D.
    In early 2007, the majority of PID's management team left the Company when
they discovered a number of misrepresentations being made by PID to its
clients, including, but not limited to: the discovery that PID was only
carrying half the amount of insurance it was advertising; that company owner
Carlos Siderman falsely claimed to being an attorney while conducting legal
presentations; and that the Company was actually formed in 1994, nearly two
decades later than PID advertised.
    Property I.D. filed lawsuits against many of its former employees who left
the company in 2007, in an attempt to harass and intimidate them from joining
NDA. Most of PID's lawsuits have already been dismissed.
    In an unusual turn of events, reports have come in that PID has begun
harassing and threatening lawsuits against real estate brokerages who choose
to move away from PID and towards competitors. "If their desired result is to
push business our way, it's working," said Genaro Trejo, Vice President and
CFO for NDA.
    In the last 24 months, PID has been sued by the U.S. Dept. of Justice for
violating anti-kickback statutes (Secretary of U.S. Dept. of Housing v.
Property I.D., et al.); by consumers in a Federal Class Action (Berger v.
Property I.D.); by Realogy Corp. in a federal case for multiple breaches of
contract (Realogy v. Property I.D.); by Coldwell Banker for sending its agents
unsolicited reports and invoices (Coldwell Banker v. Property I.D.); by Nutmeg
Insurance Company for declaratory relief (Nutmeg v. Property I.D.); and by a
real estate agent for PID's inaccurate flood determination on her property
(Blasko v. Kirk, et al).
    Copies of any of the lawsuits filed against Property I.D. by the U.S.
Department of Justice, Class Action plaintiffs, Realogy, Coldwell Banker, or
NDA, can be obtained at http://www.ndareports.com/legal-info.html

Complaints filed by multiple people against Carlos Siderman at 10999 Pacific View for illegal business, destroying oaks, bulldozing creek, illegal signs

Through the results of state information requests we have gotten a hold of complaints and lawsuits against Carlos Siderman. Carlos Siderman is behind the drive to harass the Hausers off their land so Siderman may buy the property. Carlos Siderman wants to ride his horses from his property into the state park land off trail. The only thing in his way is 11077 Pacific View. Below data taken from public reports.

1. The owner of the property lists the address as 10999 Pacific View but it is legally 10995 Pacific View. It is next door to 11077 Pacific View. Attached please find copies of their websites, Facebook ages, corporation information, photos which prove that they have run this business since 2005. No one lives on the property. The corporation number is C3480158 and was formed 06/14/2012. See attached. They take clients on their horses on their property to the Serrano Rd trail. There is a lot of traffic on the weekends with many cars. They built a parking lot but don't have handicap parking. Their trucks have the name of their business written on them with their logo.

2. Attached please find photos of the grading, dirt removal, brush removal and oak tree cutting. Someone already sent in a complaint late 2013 (CV13-0505) about this which Manny Ramos is investigating. Previously there was a lawsuit concerning this creek and property. See attached. It was determined by the courts to be a protected creek with protect dirt, shrubs and oak trees. The court stated that no one may touch or pass over the creek. I inspected and photographed this March 15, 2014. There are hoof prints going from 10995 Pacific View over 11077 Pacific View and into the California state park. The people at 11077 Pacific View do not own any horses. Currently Bing, Google and Mapquest satellite images show the before photo of the creek. This was done in late 2013.

3. Attached please find photos of the illegal signs which I took March 20, 2014. They are 4' x 8' and 6' x 10' permanent wooden signs that are free standing or attached to walls and gates. Two large signs are attached to the front of 10995 Pacific View. They can be seen when driving to 11077 Pacific View. They have been there for many months and were featured in newspapers and all over the internet. They have no permit, the signs are unsafe, they have no zoning variance to place these signs. This is coastal scenic land. The signs are an eyesore. Some are on the public street.

Full complaint is 5 MB.

Carlos Siderman runs an illegal business from a residential property. He would need a conditional use permit to run a business on this property. His neighbors would never allow it. Deer Creek Ranch Malibu, 

December of 2013 someone else made another complaint about Carlos Siderman bulldozing a protected creek, oak trees, shrubs in coastal zone of Santa Monica mountains. He is also running and illegal business from the site.

Commissioner Stephen Onstot votes FOR Isis Preservation conditional use permit

Conditional use permit PL13-0011. Ventura County Planning Commission hearing on March 20, 2014. Irena Hauser, Isis Preservation, tiger sanctuary. Below is the transcript of the video.

"The applicant has met every test. Environment report came back negative declaration, use permitted in the zone. We have no evidence to deny the conditional use permit, of a substantive nature. I don't think there is any real factual disputes that would stop me from voting FOR the applicant. The reason for that is a perfect safety record, people on site, no public access. I look at the conditions imposed and staff came up with standards that don't exist in the code. That is exactly what they've done and I feel sorry for the staff, and I understand why they jumped through hoops. No matter what happens today it should go back to board of supervisors for further study so guidelines can be set. I feel the restrictive conditions imposed by staff would be stronger than anything from the board of supervisors. A two year permit. If you think about it, if any real problems exist they will be discovered. This sound situation is, as residents think it might be, then they can come back also. There is no credible expert testimony upon which I can deny based on sound, and sound is one of the chief concerns that I have. <snip> We don't have substantive expert evidence upon which to deny the permit based on noise. It doesn't exist now. Staff denied based on public safety and compatibility. Well I didn't see any evidentiary substantive support to deny on public safety basis. As I said conditions exceed all standards. Safety record is perfect. On a compatibility issue I can't see any distinction between this one and Lockwood Valley. And I don't think we should have two standards, one for Malibu and one for Lockwood. I'm not saying there's not a lot of work that may need to be done with the "wild animals." But as everything exists today, as the record appears before me I have no choice but to vote to support the conditional use permit. I mean tigers, that is what this is about. Everybody is scared to death. Who wants a tiger next door? I appreciate that but it's actually permitted. All the conditions have been met and exceeded. So what are we supposed to do up here? Invent a problem so they can't go forward because we haven't done our job? I don't think so. I think what has to happen, we need to do our job. This matter needs to go back to the policy makers to clarify this issue. But I'm not prepared to stop the application because we haven't gotten direction from the policy makers. As I said all conditions have been met. We have a negative declaration. I can't find a public safety or compatibility issue. And I'm prepared to vote to approve the application."

Commissioner Michael Wesner votes FOR the conditional use permit for Irena Hauser and Isis Preservation.

March 20, 2014 hearing at Ventura County Planning Commission. Conditional use permit application PL13-0011. 11077 Pacific View, Malibu, California.

Commissioner Michael Wesner stated "I concur with a lot of the information from my three colleagues and I wrestled with this one just like we did with Lockwood. So you understand the sieves that I use to go through the process. Property owner acquires the property. That property is subject to zoning and terms and conditions it has at time they acquired it. Part of that is they are in open space and they are permitted to have wild animals. Therefore then our standards stop. So first sieve they met. Second sieve. They apply for a conditional use permit which is their right under our codes. And that conditional use permit, staff does analysis. Does it meet certain criteria, elements, which they have laid out in the staff report. Then we receive testimony both for and against, day and a half now, almost 1000 pages, several hours. Yes, we're not the experts in biology, in a lot of things but that's the reason we exist. We have experts. We have public testimony. We are the ones that make the decision. What we are relying on is to be this average citizen. Yes, we bring our own expertise, background, whether it be waste management or security. But sadly the buck stops here, and that is what we get paid to do. So it's not an easy decision. I agree with the other commissioner. I wouldn't want it next to me. But at the same time I'm not out in open space. Lockwood set the precedent. Here are standards. We apply standards. Property owner has right to expect standards. And when it comes to a conditional use permit is it reasonable to expect standards can be met? Best management practices, qualifications of state, federal requirements for these particular animals, track record, history of the applicants, has documents, and we put this in a sieve. It comes down to do we want a pack of wolves or 2-5 tigers. So the question gets to the point, is there truly a question of public safety that staff has represented? In the capacity question is there enough evidence, information to sway my decision one way or another? And I go back to not only what the applicant's attorney represented but what my fellow commissioners have said. We have evaluated wild animals being contained and applied standards and best practices. So I'm really 51%, 49% here but if I'm going to go with the situation through the sieves I've gone through I would have to approve the conditional use permit based on the current standards of the situation that exist before this body today."
