Boca Raton Charter School Retains TransMedia to Make Known Landlord's Threat to Evict 122 Students and Their Teachers
Landlord Gives Elementary School 'Three Days Notice' For $18,000 Rent
4/28/2008
The Boca Raton Charter
School, the city's only International Baccalaureate Candidate School, has
retained TransMedia Group to make public an unyielding landlord's threats
to evict its entire student body of 122 elementary school children on the
eve of their graduation from the once rat-infested property he leased to
them.
The Boca Raton Charter School, a not-for-profit elementary school, and
the city's only official International Baccalaureate Candidate School
offering the acclaimed Primary Years Programme (PYP) to a diverse student
body, pre-kindergarten to Grade 6, says that through TransMedia Group, it
is sending an SOS out to the community on behalf of its non-tuition paying
students who are about to graduate.
Anguished school officials want TransMedia to help find an angel who'll
spare its young students the humiliation of being kicked out on the street
by a landlord whom they claim put a strain on their finances by refusing to
pay for repairs it had to make for the children's health and safety.
"We turned to TransMedia to help us out of this dire situation we're in
before it traumatizes our children," said Deborah Nash-Utterback, Principal
of Boca Raton Charter School.
School administrators claim the landlord took advantage of a situation
in which he acted as an attorney in another school eviction case, then
exploited the opportunity by buying this property and leasing it to that
school at a higher rent, which may have constituted unethical conduct under
rules governing attorneys.
The Boca Raton Charter School later took over the lease assigned to
them by the landlord and attorney, Steven B. Greenfield.
In February 2006, shortly after moving into the property at 414 NW 35th
St. leased from Greenfield's company Commercial Boca Properties, Inc.,
besieged charter school officials said they discovered it was infested with
rats and in a deplorable and unsafe condition with roof leaks, then
lightning destroyed the fire alarm system that is functional but still not
meeting city code, which ultimately put the non-tuition school in a
financial bind.
"It was wrong for the landlord to give such a frightening notice in as
much under the lease the school is not in default of its rent yet," said
charter school's attorney Frank Bennardo.
