Mary Dunn is person who is a perfect example of a master manipulator, reaping the benefits of a great PR campaign, hiding behind and reaping the benefits of "non-profit" "do good" organizations. If you want to get an idea of what her character is, Martha Stout's book "The Sociopath Next Door" read the chapter titled, THE NICEST PERSON IN THE WORLD.
I was this monster's next door neighbor for 25 years, and dared to tangle with her (as she was manager AND pres/vp of the co-op ) and as a result was forced to leave my home and NYC due to the fact that she was able to utilize various city agencies to threaten my safety. She terrorized people in the building through bullying, backstabbing and bribing and turned them against me, a person who was once a well liked neighbor. She neglected to say that she is manager of this co-op as well as long time president/vp and yet refused to be accountable, in fact Ms. Dunn has the ability to manipulate a story mid stream to suit the listener. Because she is elderly, she has automatically been perceived as vulnerable. Yes, she may have spinal stenosis and poor eyesight, but she also has advanced computer skills and at least 2 neighbors who she has utilized for their VERY advanced skills, one working for a major television news network. She once rewrote an email of mine to sully my character. Back in 2006- she created a scenario that she had six months to live. In April 2005, she claimed she had an audio on her computer of me making terrorist like statements. Several times from 2007-2009 she called NYPD, and the last 2 times were right before I left NY. The last thing the responding officer said to me was "Do NOT go up against her, YOU WILL LOSE". Well, I did lose. I lost my home, friends, I lost financially. Recently, there was a court decision regarding my apartment and I was not even sent the decision. Why is any of this ok? I found it amusing that she claims to be an Atheist, yet the organization affiliated with Neediest Cases is a religion based organization. (she didn't claim she was an Atheist in this NY Times article, but elsewhere).
@Amelia, sure go post below.
It is a rant.
@Amelia,
Mary Dunn did not post this, this is about Mary Dunn!
Mary Dunn is manager and either pres/vp of the low income co-op where I lived for 25 years. I was forced to leave my home by this person, who worked a retaliatory campaign against me for many years because I started to ask for accountability of her and she did not like that, even though she was/is manager/pres! I cite specific instances in my post as to what I endured and that is just the tip of the iceberg! Like I said, this person is a master manipulator and knows the right things to say to the right people. Because I lived directly across from her for 25 years, I know her very well and found the content of the New York Times article to be rife with untruth. She is not a "Neediest Case". She draws a salary as manager of the co-op AND also holds a position on the board and should be held responsible and accountable, but was not. Furthermore, in my opinion, she and others in the co-op have utilized the co-op lawyer, Michael Schwartz, of Barry Mallin and Associates as if he was their own personal lawyer.
FYI, HDFC (low income) co-ops are a whole other entity from say, your market value co-op, they are formerly city owned buildings that were sold to the tenants associations in them. I have found on Habitat Boardtalk that people in non HDFC co-ops do not understand their issues and react with hostility. IMHO, Boardtalk should have a whole separate forum for HDFCs.
Thank you,
Name the names
take it off habitat - it is clogging the board
Do you own Habitat? if not ,don't clog up the board with your trolling remark. If Habitat wants to remove it , they will, that is their call. She makes a lot of sense if HFCD are that corrupt, especially since it is taxpayer monies. If even a portion is true as far as self dealing and all that other stuff, it should be welcome here.
It seems that HDFC have a whole diffferent set of laws and rules, but this doesnt sound like correct action, since i would guess tax dollars have paid for a lot of this, therefor it should be held to a higher standard in this time of fiscal responsibility.
I guess the attorney general wont bother with it, they are pretty worthless on regular co-op law violations, even though they signed off on the conversion.
Try Help me Howard. if he is still on or one of those other media people. I am starting to write to local media too, see if they want a story. leaning to wnyc,no advertisement money to interfere. I already wrote them, if you have crazy problems that should be taken care of by the AG, write WNYC too.
google it. - this is a HUGE savings.
to write to the NYT is more appropriate and maybe more effective.
