Where are the documents, where are the those pre demo documents…… why aren’t they there .. and whose job was it to make sure things were done properly
From the Pardee Report Scanned from a Xerox Multifunction Printer (3) (3) datedOctober 21st 2021
HOW COULD A WHOLE CITY BLOCK BE DEMOLISHED IN THE CENTRAL PART OF LORAIN DISAPPEAR…….WHERE WERE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES REQUIRED IN THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY ….WHY DID NO-ONE CHECK AND WHY WAS THERE NEVER AN INVESTIGATION???????
It seems that there wasn’t any interest by anyone to get to the bottom of why this happened, even our local media or indeed any of the Channel Five .. just covered what happened. no investigation there…… .
NOTE: Legacy St. Joes Part Three
Since it has taken me three years to find out just who introduced Salavatore Tecce, and his one man band Development Company it was Jack Bradley golden one … Max Upton , Jack Bradley’s then Safety Service Director . was the one that introduced A7 to Lorain… and by connecting the dots to Jim Janasko and thereby follows Jack Bradley!!!!! ( confirmation available re Upton and A7)
After the lies told to Council at Large – Mary Donovan Springowski in an email chain as she queried why were the developers/demolition company Earth Exchange dumping debris ( according to the neighbors ) into the basements of the old hospital … see the published post here

Subject: RE: Old St. Joseph Hospital
To my knowledge they have not. We are working to make sure the comply with our ordinances.
AND MY IFFY METER WAS GOING WILD.
Have Permits been pulled, where are we on inspections, have the environmental licenses been pulled, is there any toxicity on the site the City of Lorain should know about?
Mr Upton apparently lied to Mrs Springowki in that email dated APRIL 26TH 2021 because 27 days ( almost a month earlier ) Richard Klinar the Chief Building Inspector slapped a stop work order on the site for the very issue Mrs. Springowski was questioning.
You can access this whole debacle already posted and the who was who here https://oheragain.com/2021/11/29/letter-to-lorain-civil-service-commission-pt-2/
NOTE this was part of a letter sent to the Lorain Civil Service Commission and entered as part of the record …when he was being considered for a permanent Civil Service Position as Director of Building and Planning ………
NOBODY DID ANYTHING , NOBODY SAID ANYTHING NOT CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, THE AMINISTRATION , CivilService Commsion ( who had already run foul of Upton’s wrath see part one and the spy ring and the Upton threat in that letter.
OR ANYONE AT CITY HALL OR IN THE MEDIA. WHY????

And actually Jack Bradley wanted an update :
AND THE WAFFLE AND LIES CONTINUED BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THAT MEMO TO JACK .. UPTON HAD ALREADY SENT A REQUEST AND LETTER TO THE ‘DEVLOPERS’ THREE DAYS BEFORE HE LIED TO MARY DONOVAN SPINGOWSKI……..
NO ONE DID ANYTHING or investigated anything UNTIL incensed I asked for Public Records Requests and the whole sorry story then unfolded ……… was written about askeD about by me … NOTHING. No-one investigated …NO-ONE FOLLWEDTHROUGH ..WHY??
and here we are 4 years later still being waffled by Kate Golden and the Mayor Jack Bradley
and as of yesterday September 20th 2025… at the IAV, Lorain .. wonder if anyone asked him what happened???Nah they know what happened…….They were all there the Media, the politicians the Movers and Shakers…..He swanned around blameless and shameless and who cared he was the go to guy.
As Jack Bradely loudly proclaimed in the Chronicle Telegram as he appointed Upton to a permanent Civil Service position in Building Housing and Planning as the Director “He EATS , LIVES AND BREATHES THIS STUFF and now Jack in my opinion after much research over 4 years on your part in this demo and Upton SO DID AND STILL DO WE!!!!!
