Dear Mr. Kalika: This is the Currently UPDATED Post, for your information and attention. Sincerely, Michael Novakhov. 6.18.24
P.S. You may also respond in writing, if you so wish. – Copy of the Sent Email.
The real Mr. Kalika is happily found! But why was he so mysteriously lost?
The Annual meeting of 6.12.24 – Report and Updates
Годовое собрание от 12 Июня, 2024 г. – Отчёт и Дополнения
The meeting was held, with no quorum, and the elections were not held.
The Financial Statement was not ready and will be mailed in 2 weeks, as per Mr. Kalika.
It transpired that the person who claimed to be Mr. Kalika, the head of the Dependable Pro Management, at the last Annual meeting of March 22, 2023, (and with the false introduction by Grace Bishop), actually was not Mr. Kalika but one of his accountants, apparently chosen for this role for his deep voice and the imposing, authoritarian demeanor.
Now, hopefully, we deal with the real Mr. Kalika. He was again introduced by Grace Bishop, without any explanations of her mistake and this discrepancy, which proves once more that she is the blatant liar, bullshitter, and the psychopath.
I would like to remind everyone that impersonating the officer in his official capacity is illegal, and it is the criminal offense.
In plain English, they take you for idiots, guys!
In plain Russian: Они берут вас за ЛОХОВ!
The similar situation is with Al Rutigliano, Grace Bishop’s common law husband. He does not own any shares in this condo, nevertheless he was on the Condo Board. This is also illegal and the practice of Nepotism. According to the rules common for all Condos, the members of the same household are prohibited from serving on the same condo Board. The problem with Al was that he imagined himself a little Mafia Boss, and he tried to rule the roost, on behalf of his wife Grace, via his ENFORCER, super Ray, by instructing him to be rude and insulting to people, so he could insert himself as the middle man. Both of them were warned.
The atmosphere of lies and deceits pervades the whole behavior and the style, the modus operandi of Grace Bishop and the people around her, including the Dependable Pro and the Super, all of whom rob this Condo of the services it deserves, and MILK IT SHAMELESSLY for their own purposes and benefits, as it was described by me in the previous posts, and will be described again, in details, in the future.
And this continuous robbery results in the chronic state of disrepairs, with the ceilings falling on people’ heads at the regular intervals. The review of this subject as addressed in the previous posts, suggest that the main reason are the continuous leaks; in the winter from the heating system, and in the summer from the incorrectly installed air conditioners. And the reason for continuous leaks is that they are hidden inside the building structures, they are not watched for, and are not fixed in time. People do not want to deal with a super (“Ray”), who is arrogant, rude, and insulting to people, demands the exorbitant tips, and with all that is incompetent, and does the shoddy work. People do not want to bother with him. The super and his family are more interested in free apartment than taking the adequate care of the building. The problem is not that they are the Muslim family, the problem is that their pattern of work fits with the very well known pattern and style of other supers of the Albanian or Balkanian descent. This is the primitive peasant mentality. They want to extract for themselves everything they can and more, seeing this building as their property, while working as little as possible. With this super and his work, this building will always have problems and will continue to be in the state of disrepairs. In my opinion, this super ABSOLUTELY has to be changed. Some owners, in our private discussions, questioned the need for the free apartment as the part of the package. This issue has to be considered and discussed at the general meeting.
Some owners who are better familiar with the situation, told me that Super Ray has another, second job or that he works for his own business, has a big house upstate, and is in fact, a “millionaire”. Be it all as it may, it is clear that he is more interested in his free apartment and his tips than in honest work. Apparently, Grace Bishop is connected with him by some family ties, and this is the explanation of his super-favourable, special treatment. The kickbacks to the Dependable Pro from him are also quite possible, and even likely. It is also possible that this gang benefits financially from the illegal management of the short term rentals, the issue that is not addressed in the Bylaws but it is active and in the front of the current agenda.
The meeting was rather brief and we did not get to discuss this issue and the issue of Grace Bishop’ fitness to be elected, in the light of her crazy and brazen behavior and the attacks on others (see police report). These subjects should be discussed next time, hopefully.
My question at this meeting: “WHY DO CEILINGS FALL IN THIS BUILDING?” was left unanswered, and the meeting was closed in panic by Grace Bishop after I asked this question.
My opinion is that the group that calls itself the “Board” is completely fictitious and illegitimate. They have absolutely no proofs, including the documentation, to show what they claim. I think that this group of pretenders and imposters is detrimental to this building and to the financial interests of the unit owners.
I think, that they also will carry the CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY if the falling ceilings kill or injure someone. We should not wait for it to happen.
We need the adequate Election, and the adequate, well functioning Board. Presently we do not have a Board, neither in the legal nor in the administrative sense.
The details and the Report on Financial Statement will follow later.
At mean time, I request from the current “Board” and “Dependable Pro” the following information, which they have to give us by law.
- The most current Master List of Owners.
- Minutes of the last two annual meetings, of 2023 and 2024, and the lists of attendees for each of the meetings in 2023 and 2024, and the history of the previous meetings in chronological order for the last 35 years or during the total term of service of Grace Bishop, whichever is longer.
- The list of the current “Board Members”, as they presented themselves at the meeting of 2024, and any other members, including the non-owners of the Condo shares.
- The plan for the Election of the New Board
I hope, that now, when the real Mr. Kalika was so happily and unexpectedly found, he will be able to deal with the issues and problems. I will summarize them briefly:
1. Change the super Ray ASAP!
2. Confirm the disqualification of Grace Bishop for election to the Board, according to the Bylaws.
3. Hold the general owners meetings monthly, if needed, and elect the new Board which will be able to function adequately. Also consider the electronic voting online and by mail. Make the voting process easier, not harder.
These problems will not disappear by themselves if you do not solve them.
We do have the instruments at our disposal to affect the needed changes. We should consider the NONPAYMENT of the common charges AS THE GROUP, to pressure the management Co. In this case, they will start singing a different song very fast. I urge Mr. Kalika to pay attention.
Mr. Kalika, his management Co, his Super, and his corrupt puppet “chairwoman” Bishop work at the pleasure of the shareholders, and these people can be fired at any moment without any particular reason or explanation, simply because their work is not seen as satisfactory by the shareholders.
And in my opinion, they should be fired and referred to the Criminal Prosecution for Negligence and other violations and offenses!
I intend to sue Grace Bishop for the attempted murder: that what spitting on another person in the times of COVID is.
I also intend to sue the Dependable Pro for fraud: impersonating the head of the company by another person with the purpose to mislead and to deceive the shareholders.
I plan to call the owners on the phone, to meet them personally, and to continue working on these issues. Have a good Summer!

Today marks the fifth anniversary of the infamous “Gavrilov’s Night” in Tbilisi, when the Georgian Dream government brutally dispersed protests against Russian Communist Party MP Sergei Gavrilov‘s address in Russian from the Speaker’s Chair in the Georgian Parliament during the session of the Interparliamentary Assembly on Orthodoxy (IAO). To this day, the people suffering lasting injuries due to the massive use of tear gas and rubber bullets have not been recognized as victims, and despite calls from the European Court of Human Rights, those responsible for the violence have not been identified.
Current Situation
Davit Paradashvili, the protester who lost the ability to walk during the brutal suppression of the June 20-21, 2019 rally, has applied to the Ministry of Health today with a request to meet with Minister Mikheil Sarjveladze. His main demand is that the government pay for his treatment and provide him with the necessary medical care. In his interview with TV Pirveli, Paradashvili remembers these five years as “five years of hell” and says that for years he, the sole breadwinner of his family, has been unable to work and lead a full life.
Mako Gomuri, who lost her eye during Gavrilov’s Night, also spoke out today in an interview with RFE/RL‘s Georgian Service. She says it is no longer important to her to identify who threw the bullet that injured her eye, but to change the system and the pro-Russian government.
Today, youth movement “Dafioni” announced a rally in Tbilisi, in front of the Parliament, and Batumi, on Era Square at 19:00.
Background
Gavrilov’s arrived in the Parliament as the President of the Interparliamentary Assembly on Orthodoxy (IAO), which was holding its 26th session in Tbilisi. The session, held on June 19, 2019, was canceled after opposition lawmakers boycotted Gavrilov’s speech in Russian from the Speaker’s rostrum of the Parliament. Their protest continued outside, and many Georgians joined them the protesters against ruling Georgian Dream party for allowing Russian involvement and calling for the resignation of then Speaker, now Prime Minister, Irakli Kobakhidze.
High-ranking GD officials, including the Speaker of Parliament, Prime Minister, and President, as well as party founder Bidzina Ivanishvili, were quick to condemn the incident amid the public outrage, blaming however the “protocol blunder” for the incident, and announced the relocation of the IAO sessions
Nevertheless, the protests continued through the night of June 20-21. People stayed overnight, protesting against the Russian presence and demanding the resignation of GD officials. In the late hours of the night, a massive crackdown on the protests began. The representatives of Georgian Dream justified the heavy use of tear gas and rubber bullets claiming that the opposition “had manipulated” the sincere demonstrators, encouraging them to violence in an attempt to get revenge, even though the Russian delegation had already left the country.
The former Interior Minister and the current opposition party “For Georgia” leader, Giorgi Gakharia has not incurred political or other cost for giving the commends to use disproportionate force to disperse the protest. During an interview on June 28, 2019, he stated: “If I became a bloody executioner in the eyes of the people, it is the burden that I should bear in order to let everyone know that any violent attack upon institutions is unacceptable and incompatible with the country’s development; [If this point is carried through by my actions] I will manage to carry this burden somehow.” However, after leaving the Georgian Dream party, Gakharia deflected responsibility.
The aftermath
240 people, including 80 police officers and over 30 journalists were injured during the night. 102 were hospitalized with bruises and eye traumas. However, despite calls from civil society organizations, many have yet to be granted victim status, and only a few were granted the status by the Prosecutor’s Office decision in 2019 and 2023.
At the same time, 19 people, including United National Movement’s former MP Nika Melia and Irakli Okruashvili, Georgia’s former defense minister (2004-2006), were arrested on charges of “organizing, leading and participating” in mass violence during the unrests on the night of 20-21 June. They were also blamed for trying to overthrow the government. In addition, 305 protesters were detained for various, including, criminal offenses.
The Prosecutor’s Office investigation on charges of exceeding official powers by the police against certain participants during the June 20-21 rally begun on June 24, 2019. Ten police officers were suspended from official duties and some of the police officers were arrested shortly after on July 15, July 16, and August 28. However, one of the arrested was released on bail after couple of months. Following the prolonged investigations, the Ministry of Interior Affairs has been ordered to compensate some of the protestors.
Notably, on May 7, 2024, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) found a failure of proper criminal investigation under the procedural limb of Article 3 (prohibition of torture) and ordered the Georgian side to pay damages ranging from EURO 15,000 – 1,800, plus EURO 6,000 for all costs and expenses.
