Lennar BVHP LLC and recent Notice of Violations that go unabated and in open definance.
Lennar BVHP LLC the week of August 12 - 18, 2007 was issued a number of Notice of Violations (NOVs). Lennar BVHP LLC continues to operate and conduct itself in a manner that defies - logic.

How ever the authorities fail to note that a lot of toxic dust also affected near ...

Lennar BVHP LLC and Shellmounds on Parcle A - Sacred Burial Grounds of the Ohlone
I stated very clearly years ago before the SF Board of Supervisors: " no good will come at Parcel A unless those that develop the land respect the First People". Lennar BVHP LLC has violated many agreements but most of all it has failed to respect the remains of the Muwekma Ohlone on Parcel. Lennar BVHP LLC with intent has desecrated the remains of the First People and thinks that it can get away with murder in broad daylight. Nothing short of constant failure will meet Lennar BVHP LLC and an...

Lennar BVHP LLC and the SF City and County of San Francisco and liability
Again and again I asked during the many times I attended numerous meetings leading the transfer of Parcel A about liability. Michael Cohen was in charge of this issue and again and again he said that the SF City and County had a $25 million insurance and that the U.S. Navy too was responsible if any toxic element was found on Parcel A. Now, we all know that this bluff was to cover Lennar BVHP LLC so that it could wash its hands - and with intent bombard innocent constituents for the long peri...

Lennar BVHP LLL loses face with community and now reaches out to rag tag journalism
Did you ever read one decent piece of investigative journalism from the San Francisco Chronicle linked to Lennar BVHP LLC in the last two years - especially from the rag tag M&R column that prides itself in gossip and gets its information from the worst sources.
