CIVIL COURT OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK COUNTY OF KINGS INDEXNO. 105863/10 BOARD OF MANAGERS OF OCEANA CONDOMINIUM NO. TWO., Plaintiffs, -againstDENIS KARDYUKOV, ELENA SVENSON and MICHAEL KRICHEVSKY, Defendant.

AFFIRMATION IN SUPPORT

Michael Krichevsky, Pro Se, following under the penalties of perjury:

a-te-4-), affirms the

1. That I am the defendant and third party plaintiff, and have firsthand knowledge of the facts and circumstances herein, except where indicated to be on information and believe or where so stated I verily believe them to be true. 2. I make this affirmation in support of the application for a temporary restraining order, and a preliminary and permanent injunction. 3. I am the owner of condominium at 120 Oceana Drive West, Apt SD, Brooklyn, New York, and over which the controversy between parties aroused bringing about this action. BRIF HISTORY OF CONTROVERCY 4. On or about August 2008 defendant and third party plaintiff Mr. Krichevsky (Krichevsky) and co-owner of this condominium and codefendant Miss Svenson (Svenson) started eviction of his tenants at that time. 5. On or about November 2008 Krichevsky learned that Svenson and tenants conspired behind Krichevsky's back and entered into lease without Krichevsky's knowledge and consent. 6. Krichevsky immediately notified third party defendants Lana Kaplun, condominium

board member, and Farid Badalov, property manager and employee of COOPER SQUARE REALTY, also a third party defendant herein. 7. Krichevsky told them that he objects to this lease and since he is not going to receive the rent, which paid by tenants to Svenson, he is unable to continue condominium maintenance payments. 8. Krichevsky told Kaplun and Badalov that Svenson has no intention to pay for condominium maintenance and asked for legal support and assistance from them. 9. Each of them promised "to do something about it." 10.On or about November 2009, as plaintiff BOARD OF MANAGERS OF OCEANA CONDOMINIUM NO. TWO commenced the action, inter alia, against Krichevsky in this court bearing index No 99601/09, which was dismissed without prejudice (Exhibit A). 11.Upon information and believe the BOARD OF MANAGERS OF OCEANA CONDOMINIUM NO. TWO abandoned this action and choose not to take a default judgment against Svenson, who decided not to appear in that action. 12. On or about November 2009, the tenants vacated Krichevsky's apartment and he attempted to lawfully lease it to other people in order to minimize damage and save it from foreclosure, because the bank initiated foreclosure action. 13.Krichevsky brought in new tenants and signed a lease, but Kaplun and Badalov tortuously interfered and Krichevsky was unable to rent out his apartment, which gave a rise to current third party action. 14.In order to protect his interest in the property and prevent an adverse possession by BOARD OF MANAGERS OF OCEANA CONDOMINIUM NO. TWO or Svenson, Krichevsky occupied his apartment and invited Denis Kardyukov to guard it against any trespass.

THIRD PARTY DEFENDANTS ENGAGED KRICHEVSKY IN BAD FAITH LITIGATION AND HARASSMENT 15. On or about December 2010, BOARD OF MANAGERS OF OCEANA CONDOMINIUM NO. TWO and Kaplun individually initiated current action in this court. 16. This action against Krichevsky and Kardyukov was dismissed, and no appeal was filed. 17. Noticeably, Svenson did not appear in this action as well, and BOARD OF MANAGERS OF OCEANA CONDOMINIUM NO. TWO once again did not move for default judgment against her even though they knew or should have known that she is the one who caused this problem, and they named her as defendant. Krichevsky is surprised and prejudiced by that behavior, and believes that BOARD OF MANAGERS OF OCEANA CONDOMINIUM NO. TWO and Kaplun individually initiated current action solely to harass Krichevsky and Kardyukov. 18. From 2010 to present, BOARD OF MANAGERS OF OCEANA CONDOMINIUM NO. TWO and Kaplun, together with new property manager Mr. Boris Meydid caused magnetic keys to entrance of building and remote controls of entrance gate to be disabled numerous times, preventing Krichevsky and Kardyukov to enter the building. 19. When they came to COOPER SQUARE REALTY to complain, Mr. Meydid at first told them that the keys are malfunctioning due to some computer virus and enabled the from the computer. 20. One time Mr. Meydid told Krichevsky that his key is old and made him to pay $20 for a new one. Now this key is "malfunctioning" as well. 21. Krichevsky conducted investigation and learned that other residents in this building do not have any computer virus problem and their keys are functional on days when .Krichevsky's and Kardyukov's are not.

22. On June 22, 2012 Krichevsky came to COOPER SQUARE REALTY office to complain about continuous malfunctioning of the keys and spoke with new general property manager Mr. Tony Bolbolian. He admitted to Krichevsky that Meydid disabled the keys per order of BOARD OF MANAGERS OF OCEANA CONDOMINIUM NO. TWO. 23. When Krichevsky asked for a copy of this order, he declined and said that it was email sent by BOARD OF MANAGERS OF OCEANA CONDOMINIUM NO. TWO. 24. When the keys are not functional Krichevsky, Kardyukov and other guests forced to wait near the entrance door for some neighbor entering or exiting to let them in the building. 25. Upon information and believe, defendants do it intentionally and maliciously to constructively evict Krichevsky and Kardyukov, to harass them and other guests, to cause nuisance and embarrassment to them. 26. In addition to the above, COOPER SQUARE REALTY and other employees, including Meydid continue to stall discovery of current action. Krichevsky on numerous occasions from different individuals requested a copy of condominium bylaws and minutes and they refused to give even though he explained to them that this is his right. 27. To continue tortuous conduct BOARD OF MANAGERS OF OCEANA CONDOMINIUM NO. TWO and Kaplun individually on March 27, 2012 initiated yet another frivolous and harassing action in Supreme Court index No. 6636/12, Exhibit B. 28. In it BOARD OF MANAGERS OF OCEANA CONDOMINIUM NO. TWO and Kaplun individually, in contempt of this court, are claiming possession of lawful lien against subject matter property. Upon information and believe, "the jury is still out" and there is no judgment entered against Krichevsky by this Honorable Court or any other giving them right to lien and foreclose on Krichevsky's condominium. 29. Krichevsky is informed and verily believes that BOARD OF MANAGERS OF OCEANA CONDOMINIUM NO. TWO and Kaplun individually violated due process in

Ll

recordation of this lien. 30. Krichevsky is respectfully moving this Honorable Court to take judicial notice that he never received any notice of lien; he is contesting any debt owed in current action, and Supreme Court's action constitutes fraud and the fraud upon the court, because this lien is void and their attorney must be aware of this fact. 31. Unless a temporary restraining order is granted, pending the Court's hearing and determination of this application, the request for a preliminary injunction may well become moot. 32.No prior application for this relief has been made. WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that an order be entered granting the relief requested, and for such other and further relief as to Interest of Justice and this Court may seem just and proper, including the cost of this motion.

Condominium, are liable for the common charges of the Condominium with respect to the Unit. 11. Pursuant to Article V, Section 4 of the Condominium By-Laws,

common charges are payable in installments on the first day of each month in advance.

12.

Pursuant to Article V, Sections 6 and 7 of the Condominium By-

Laws, the plaintiff has the right and obligation to file liens for unpaid common charges, and to institute any and all other actions or proceedings deemed necessary or desirable by the plaintiff to recover unpaid common charges. Any suit to recover a money judgment for unpaid common charges can be maintained without foreclosing or waiving a lien for unpaid common charges. 13.

the event a unit owner fails to promptly pay common charges, the plaintiff is entitled to charge the delinquent unit owner a late charge on all unpaid sums. 14. Pursuant to Article V, Section 6 of the By-Laws, all costs and

expenses incurred, by Plaintiff as a result of Krichevsky and Svenson's breach of their obligations under the By-Laws are payable by Krichevsky and Svenson and, for all purposes, such expenses constitute Common Charges payable by Krichevsky and Svenson. 15.

19.

During the pendency of this action, the plaintiff, in order to

protect its lien, may be compelled to pay sums due on prior mortgages, insurance premiums, tax assessments, water rates, sewer rates, and other expenses or charges affecting the premises described and plaintiff prays that any amount so paid and so extended by it during the pendency of this action be added to its claim and repaid to it from the proceeds of the sale of said liened premises, together with interest thereon, from the date of making such expenditures, so that the same may be added to, and secured by said lien. 20. Article V, Section 6 of the Condominium By-Laws contains a

provision entitling plaintiff to recover attorneys' fees incurred in the prosecution of this action. 21. Michael Krichevsky is named as a party defendant herein

inasmuch as he is a record owner of the liened premises. 22. Elena Svenson is named as a party defendant herein inasmuch

as she is a record owner of the liened premises. 23. MERS, as nominee for United Bank, FSB is named as a party

defendant herein inasmuch as it has or may have a credit line mortgage against the Unit, which credit line mortgage is subordinate to the lien being foreclosed in this action. 24. The defendant The United States of America Internal Revenue

inasmuch as it has or may have a judgment/lien against the Unit by virtue of a judgment against Michael Krichevsky as set forth in Exhibit A, which judgment/lien is subordinate to the lien being foreclosed in this action. Plaintiff is unsure whether the judgment debtor is the Defendant herein. 26. Parking Violations Bureau of New York City is named as a party

defendant herein inasmuch as it has or may have a judgment/lien against the Unit, which judgment/lien is subordinate to the lien being foreclosed in this action. 27. "John Doe" No. 1 through "John Doe" No. 15, the true names of
