OPEN HEARING OF CITIZENS
Pursuant to Article IV, Section 3 of the Rules of City Council, each person wishing to address the Council,
shall step up to the microphone, shall give his/her name in an audible tone for the record and unless further
time is granted by the Presiding Officer, shall limit remarks to three minutes.
All members of the public are expected to conduct themselves in a proper manner. Any derogatory, abusive
or threatening statements will not be permitted. The Chair will immediately rule such conduct out of order
and terminate any further comments.
1. Curtis Bynum had been addressing ongoing issues at 55-57 S. Munn Ave for several months. He
reported that the hallways lacked air circulation, as the vents had been shut down. Despite his
continuous efforts to seek help, there had been no response from City Hall. The situation had
become critical, with tenants calling ambulances because people were fainting due to the inability to
breathe. Additionally, there had been a problem with the elevator. The owners of the building had
appeared indifferent, suggesting that if tenants were unhappy, they could simply move out. Mr.
Bynum had been vocal about the conditions in the building, but no solutions had been implemented.
He urged that the problems be addressed, not just for himself, but for all the residents living there.
Chairwoman Lewis asked Director Mateen about any violations issued to the building and whether
inspections have occurred without resolution. He confirmed that inspectors had assessed certain
issues and noted that while air is circulating through the vents, it is inadequate for the warm

weather. Notices have been issued to the property owner to rectify the problems by a specified
deadline, which Dir. Mateen did not have on hand. She requested updates on actions to be taken if
the deadline has passed, emphasizing that unresolved issues would be referred to Municipal Court.
She urged Director Mateen to report back to the chair of health and education and stated that if the
owner ignores the violations, the governing body and Mayor must collaborate to ensure a healthier
environment for constituents.
2. Brianna John requested clarification on the new regulation regarding bulk and trash pickup. On her
side of town, the service occurs on Saturdays, and since the beginning of the year, items have been
routinely left behind week after week. Ms. John noted that the previous rule allowed for the pickup of
three items if they met certain criteria, such as air conditioners and small furniture, in addition to
regular household trash. She contacted the Department of Public Works (DPW) and received the
same response as before: the items are still considered trash. After researching, she discovered an
update that was effective last February; however, she does not recall seeing any communication
about this change, nor did she receive the physical booklet that is usually mailed to residents. Ms.
John emphasized that the community should be made aware of any changes and is seeking clarity
so that everyone can be informed and on the same page.
Chairwoman Lewis asked her to speak with the Director of Public Works and Councilman Gomez
and to email him.
3. Paulinis Eogu discussed his struggle with a recent rent increase to over $4,000 initiated by Catalyst
Property Solutions, which filed a hardship application. He and his neighbors only learned about the
pending application when their attorney informed them. Under Ordinance 218-17, landlords are
required to give affected tenants just five days' notice prior to the hearing. After one of Mr. Eogu's
neighbors requested the hardship application filed in January, Councilman Awe questioned their
interest in the application’s rejection, suggesting they should move on. Four months later, Catalyst
refiled the application, and without notification from their attorney, Mr. Eogu would have remained
unaware that the case was set for review on September 17. Recently, Mr. Eogu reached out to
Councilman Awe to propose amendments aimed at providing tenants with better notification
regarding hardship applications. Councilman Awe indicated that the Housing Committee should
handle such matters. Mr. Eogu then requested a meeting with the Committee members the
following week to discuss changes intended to make the ordinance more equitable for tenants.
Chairwoman Lewis expressed doubt that the meeting would take place this week due to the short
notice and their busy schedule. She noted that Councilwoman Fauntleroy is the chair and
suggested that he should reach out to her to help navigate the issue.
4. Deloris Murphy asked for help from someone who could find out who was constantly entering her
apartment, damaging her belongings, taking items, and engaging in various troubling activities. She
also inquired with the management about the owner so that she could have her locks changed, but
she was unable to do so.
Councilwoman Lewis stated that if anyone were to enter her apartment and touch anything, she
should file a report, to which she confirmed that she had already done. She requested that the
individual speak with someone from the Police Department to find out the outcome of that report,
assuring that they would intercede on her behalf if there was no resolution.
5. Virginia Jeffries presented several issues on the agenda, focusing on the budget and property
taxes. She inquired about the contract award amount for the resolution awarding Filebank, as well
as the requested amount for emergency temporary appropriations. Regarding the resolution
approving bids for the January 29th auction, she asked how many bids were submitted and what the
monetary amount was. For the resolution concerning Herc Rentals, Jeffries sought clarification on
how many vehicles were to be released and the cost to lease them.
When it came to the ordinances on First Reading, Jeffries questioned the necessity of a financial
agreement related to Heritage House, as well as the terms of the long-term tax exemption. She
expressed concern that the lateness in passing the budget had caused significant uncertainty for
residents, property owners, and business owners, fueling rumors about the city’s financial state. She
also wanted to know when the budget hearing would be held. Ms. Jeffries noted that third-quarter
property taxes were estimated without a budget in place, leaving property owners uninformed,
despite their funding for schools, the county government, and the municipal library. She remarked
that the lack of communication with property owners does not foster goodwill.
Chairwoman Lewis stated that when they reconvene at the regular meeting, they will have answers
for her.
6. Brian Samson stated that he works for Related Affordable and mentioned that there is an item on
the agenda for a PILOT for Heritage House at 50 S. Munn. He noted that someone had previously
brought up this property, and he wanted to inform everyone that the reason for the PILOT is to
assist with a planned renovation of the property. They intend to invest $130,000 per unit, and the
PILOT is one of the primary tools making this plan feasible for the residents. In addition to
renovating all of the units, they will be transitioning from steam heat to electric heat, adding Wi-Fi

throughout the property, replacing the roof, and increasing security. This project is primarily focused
on these improvements. Furthermore, they will maintain the affordable components of the property
and extend them for an additional 30 years.
7. Chairwoman Lewis inquired about who the owners would be, and he responded that Related
Affordable would serve as the parent company of the owners.
8. Brother Lamar urged the congregation to remember all the young people who have passed away in
East Orange since 1975. He expressed his love, gratitude, and appreciation for Sister Cynthia
Brown and her staff, hoping and praying that she is now in heaven, at peace, and at rest. He took
full responsibility for his comments and apologized for his mistakes. One date he struggled with was
July 4th, the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which did not apply to African Americans;
slavery remained legal in the US and New Jersey until the 13th Amendment was ratified on
December 6, 1865. Brother Lamar also raised concerns about dishonest practices at the East
Orange Public Library and requested a meeting to address those issues.
Chairwoman Lewis stated that there is a liaison for the Library, Councilwoman Garrett-Ward, who
can communicate with her. This allows her to direct him so that he does not have to come
repeatedly to the governing body and can instead reach out to her.
9. Kevin Snead advocated for the residents in the building, expressing that many of them wanted to
park their cars in the garage but were informed they couldn’t. He noted that the superintendent has
four cars in the garage, questioning the logic of this arrangement when residents are unable to park
their own vehicles. Mr. Snead pointed out that people have been dumping cigarettes on their cars in
the building, and he mentioned that he was told the garage was crowded.
Chairwoman Lewis inquired whether tenants are assigned parking spaces based on their units and
sought to understand the reason behind the superintendent having four spaces. Councilman Gomez
mentioned that he had spoken with the resident earlier and planned to provide his card so they
could investigate the situation further.
10. Jimmy Small stated he is the President of the East Orange Public Library Board. He has been
getting a lot of feedback about what they are not doing at the library, and he wanted to clear the air
about what they are doing. He stated that no member of the public has ever been denied entry to a
Board meeting, and the public has participation at every meeting after a quorum is met. All EOPL
trustee meetings for 2026 are available on their website. He stated the services they offer, the
events they have, etc.
