Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Good morning Richard, Thank you for responding. I forgot to send the documents to prove our claims. We are attaching them here. As for the violations, can you verify when and by whom closed the violations? We checked the link. https://ehservices.publichealth.lacounty.gov/ezsearch The unit is still having ongoing issues stemming from the originally complaints you came out to inspect back in May. Please let us know if we should refile/submit new complaints so that the issues can be addressed. We understood through our various communications with you that nothing could be done for the habitability issues, under the jurisdiction of the LA County Department of Health, until the Asbestos exposure/contamination was abated. Everything has been on hold until Adam decides to act and begin the process over again with certified asbestos consultants. Since no one seems to have the authority, or is willing to assume the authority, we have been stuck with the owners and property mangers not wanting to fix the problem and remove the health hazards. You mentioned before that you have advocated in other cases, that you spoke with city managers to get cities involved. We have tried to contact the city for help, and went to the City Council meeting to ask them to get involved, but Diamond Bar has not been wanting to get involved to utilize their enforcement authority. Since Adam has failed to comply with legitimate professionals to do the required abatement, Adult Protective Services is investigating for Elder Abuse. APS has been following this since the beginning of the year. All of this culminated in a Temporary Restraining Order being issued by the Pomona Courthouse on 8/7/25. We have been very thankful to the various medical professionals who could recognize the signs of abuse and decided to file the reports as mandated reporters. The doctors and nurses have proven invaluable advocates. The wheels of justice are slow to move, but at least they are moving. Sincerely, The Garispe Family 1344 S. Diamond Bar Blvd. Unit B.

Diamond Bar Blvd. Unit B Diamond Bar, CA 91765 Dear Garispe Family, Thank you for your message. The Department of Public Health has responded to all complaints within our jurisdiction. We conducted investigations, and all violations identified in the habitable areas have been corrected. At this time, the only outstanding issue pertains to the garage, which falls under the responsibility of the Homeowners Association (HOA). We have been informed that the HO A has hired a vendor to inspect the garage and begin mold remediation. An initial inspection attempt was made, and the vendor is expected to reschedule another visit to complete the assessment. Please note that we do not have jurisdiction over AQMD matters, as it is a State agency. However, Public Health remains available to respond to any future complaints related to matters within our scope. We sincerely wish your father a prompt and full recovery. Sincerely, Richard Lavin -----Original Message----- From: Amedee Garispe <amedee.garispe@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2025 3:10 PM To: Douglas Tong <DTong@ph.lacounty.gov> Cc: Richard Lavin <rlavin@ph.lacounty.gov> Subject: Outstanding repairs at 1344 S. Diamond Bar Blvd. Unit B Diamond Bar, CA 91765 CAUTION: External Email. Proceed Responsibly. Dear Inspector Doug, Hope all is well. We sent a text a few weeks ago. We are here waiting for dad at K eck USC hospital. We have been here since 5:30am. Today is his surgery for removal of the cancerous tumor in his ascending colon. He finally was moved to a private room around 3pm. Due to his medical condition, his specialists and our family are concerned with the status of the living situation. There has not been any movement at the unit pertaining to the outstanding repairs since 5/9/25. It has been 137 days until today. It has been 257 days since Inspector Robin first received the health complaint. It was then transferred to Inspector Chloe, both inspectors are under the supervision of Chief Environmental Specialist Zepur Chakmakian. Inspector Chloe erroneously closed the first cases due to falsified documents by Adam Brett Freilich. After our family’s 4/4/25 meeting at Supervisor Hilda Solis’s office, we were informed by the Assistant Director, Dr. Scott Abbott, that our unit would be re-inspected by some of the best on his team in accordance to the safety and health standards that were not employed by the previous inspectors. The CAC asbestos survey has been invalidated by both CalOSHA and the South Coast AQ MD. Are the violations against the Co-Trustees, Mark and Sharon Freilich ongoing due to non-compliance? The citations that were sent to Professional Community Management – An Associa® Company were erroneously sent to the wrong entity. The Allegro HO A/board, nor the community manager, were responsible. It has come to light that property manager for the unit, Adam Brett Freilich deceived the LA County Health Department and the City of Diamond Bar by actively concealing the true identity of the responsible entity. Collusion on part of community property manager, Sandra Blair aided Adam Brett Freilich to create a false narrative. Per Allegro’s CC&Rs and Bylaws, the Co-Trustees Mark and Sharon Freilich are solely responsible for the citations. The co- trustees and the unit’s manager failed to act, thus through their negligence created deferred and denied critical maintenance and requests for repairs of the unit’s latent defects. This was all reported to the LA Department of Health on numerous occasions. The unit has been uninhabitable for a very very long time now. We are attaching proof for everyone’s review. The truth of the matter is that the judicial system, as well as local, county, and state agencies/governments have been bamboozled. It is imperative that in light of the evidence, all necessary corrections to pervious citations be amended so they can be levied on the correct responsible party, the Co-Trustees of the Freilich Family Trust. Furthermore, the Freilich Family Trust has breached its’ duty to keep the Allegro HOA/board informed and adhere to the obligations of the community when it failed to inform that the unit is a rental property, failed to provide all names and contact information of the tenants residing at the unit, failed to provide a lease for all tenants, failed to provide an updated yearly lease or when there were any changes in the terms in the lease, and failed to provide the tenants with the necessary CC&Rs, Bylaws, and Governing documents of the community. We have been marginalized and exploited by a great deceiver. The purpose of this email is to right the wrongs and bring about justice, not just for our family, but for any family who is unjustly railroaded by unscrupulous and unethical property managers/owners. N ow is the time for action by the various agencies and governments which have been entrusted to look after the vulnerable in our society by taking appropriate action. This can be achieved by spearheading a collaborative multilateral joint investigation/audit to go after the responsible parties involved in this great fraud and concealment of the truth. May any person, business, and/or entity involved in this corruption be held to the full extent of law. Sincerely, The Garispe Family 1344 S. Diamond Bar Blvd. Unit B Diamond Bar, CA 91765
