Justice Department Obtains $251,500 Settlement in Housing Discrimination Lawsuit Against Effingham, Illinois, Landlord
The Justice Department today announced an agreement with the owners and operators of Four Seasons Estates Mobile Home Park in Effingham, Illinois, to settle allegations of race and familial status discrimination. Under the consent order, which must still be approved by the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of Illinois, the defendants must pay $217,500 to victims of discrimination, who intervened in the lawsuit, to account for the harm they suffered and their attorneys’ fees, and an additional $34,000 to the government as a civil penalty.
The lawsuit alleged that the mobile home park’s manager, Barbara Crubaugh, refused to let an African-American individual be added as a resident at the park when he moved in with his white girlfriend and her uncle. The lawsuit also alleged that while the African-American individual was staying at the mobile home park, he was subjected to harassment by the manager’s son, David Crubaugh. The family moved out after the park threatened them with eviction if the African-American individual did not move out. They contacted HOPE Fair Housing Center, an organization in Illinois that advocates for equal opportunity in housing, who in turn contacted the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Justice Department. HUD referred the complaints to the Justice Department for further investigation as a potential pattern or practice of discrimination.
The lawsuit also alleged discrimination on the basis of race based on fair housing testing conducted by the Department of Justice’s Fair Housing Testing Program. The testing revealed that Barbara Crubaugh treated prospective residents differently based on their race by, for example, requiring African-American testers to fill out applications while not requiring white testers to do so, asking African-American testers if they had felonies but not asking the same of white testers, informing African-American testers that she would have to inspect their mobile home while not so informing white testers and quoting higher move-in costs to African-American testers.
Until this lawsuit was filed, there had been no African-American residents at the mobile home park since at least 2007, when Barbara Crubaugh became manager.
Additionally, the lawsuit alleged, and the defendants admitted, that they discriminated on the basis of familial status (having children under the age of 18) by prohibiting families with children from living on one of the four rows of lots at the mobile home park.
“Federal law guarantees everyone the right to housing on equal terms and the right to live free from harassment because of their race or color,” said head of the Civil Rights Division, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta. “Settlements such as this one help ensure that all people can enjoy that right.” To read more, click here.

    The odd saga of 393 Bates Avenue: Some say save it

    The odd saga of 393 Bates Ave. in Dayton’s Bluff has drawn plenty of commentary, some of it equally odd.
    The one-story adobe-style home has its own spokesman, a former tax preparer who tangled with the IRS and wound up in prison, and more fans than it may appear at first blush.

    The 1920s-era house, featured in the Pioneer Press on June 21, stands in the way of Metropolitan State University’s plans for a surface parking lot at the base of the university’s new parking ramp and student center. Unable to convince the new and former property owners to sell, Metro State has filed an eminent domain petition with the courts, with the intention of acquiring the home and demolishing it.
    Ramsey County property records value the house at $55,000. The new owners, a Wisconsin couple who had a role in the previous ownership, have purchased the home for $525,000. The average of those two numbers is $290,000 — which isn’t much more than the sum Metro State offered for the house before state lawmakers stepped in and said enough was enough.

    The executive director of a neighborhood district council is quoted in the piece as saying “It’s not a house that the neighborhood felt should be saved,” but some readers would like the university to do just that.
    Jim McLeod, age 76, of Florida and Lake Elmo, grew up half a block away from Seventh and Bates. He believes that a miniature version of the same house — just large enough for kids to hide out in — may still exist in the backyard.
    “It was a kids’ playhouse big enough for kids 6-to-8 years old to play. I talked to my sister nine months ago, and she said the playhouse is still there.
    She used to play with one of the girls that lived in that house, and she happened to bring it up — ‘I hope they’re not going to tear down that house.’ We used to call it the California house, because it’s a style of house that they were building in California at the time. Not common in the Midwest at all.
    It’s about 85-years-old, somewhere in there. I think it’d be a great one to preserve. I saw too many wonderful buildings torn down in my lifetime. Once you tear it down it’s gone forever.”
    Neighborhood resident Sage Holben, who serves on the board of directors of the Dayton’s Bluff Community Council, is of a like mind. The home may not sit on the National Register of Historic Places, but “that doesn’t diminish its uniqueness to the area,” she said.
    “I would like to see it saved. I know it has significance architecturally,” Holben said. “I know a number of people in the community would like to see it saved. Moving it would cost money, and the community doesn’t have that money.”
    Holben, who has lived on Maria or Bates avenues for at least 14 years, said she’s had personal contact with longtime 393 Bates Ave. resident Jimmy Smith, “but that’s as a neighbor, not as a representative of the council.”
    Some have raised question as to how often Smith resides in the property. “What I would like to see is this property be treated as someone’s home, whether he is there right now or not,” Holben said. “It’s not just a building.”
    Former resident Carol Sorenson grew up at 393 Bates, and remembered the 1929-era one-story home with affection.
    “I was quite surprised last Sunday to find my ‘growing-up’ house featured in the local section. It has undergone mammoth changes over the years. I lived there from age 0-14 during the WWII and post-war eras. Life was quite different, somewhat caught between the past and what we consider modernity. The war effort put many things on hold and when it was over, change came rapidly. It looks like a trivial little house but it meant the world to me at that young age.
    I don’t know if this is something that the paper will be following but I’m certainly interested and will offer any background that might be helpful.”
    The former chair of Minnesota’s House Ways and Means committee, Rep. Lyndon Carlson, DFL-Crystal, was instrumental in putting a limit on how much MNSCU can pay for the property.
    Given his criminal history, more than one reader has taken issue with former tax preparer Robert Wicker of St. Paul acting as spokesman for both the former owners, JTRBSDC INC., and new owners Scott and Linda Gunderson in what has developed into a strange and sensitive financial transaction before the courts.
    The IRS annual report from 1973 gives the following description of Wicker’s crimes:
    ROBERT WICKER was found
    guilty of eighteen counts of
    preparing false returns and
    sentenced to three years in
    prison. In passing sentence,
    the Judge noted that 271
    clients who owe $87,000 in
    additional taxes were misled
    by WICKER . The court stated
    that WICKER “was a disgrace
    to the tax return preparing
    profession.”
    A reader who identified herself as Carol T. recalls her experience in that debacle this way: “He did our taxes 40-plus years ago, then when the IRS audited us and we looked for him to defend us, he was incarcerated.”
