North Minneapolis Bully Blogger Johnny Northside Is Officially A Slumlord

I will let this placard that was posted by the city of Minneapolis at John Hoff's unlicensed rental property known as 2226 Bryant Ave N, Minneapolis, MN.
An interesting note is that several residents have reported to me that the placard has been removed from the property and that it has been reported to the inspections department. Hoff now faces a large fine and/or jail time for removing it.

I give you.... John Hoff aka Johnny Northside and now Johnny Slumlord! (click on image to view full size)

Johnny "Slumlord" Northside No Longer Has Inspections On His Side As Multiple Fines Are Issued

Last week I commented in a post I wrote that Johnny Northside aka John  Hoff's antics and overall "act" is beginning to wear thin with most of the people that he knows in Minneapolis and my prediction is becoming a real likelihood: Give Hoff enough rope and he will end up hanging himself.

One such example of his act wearing thin and has resulted in fewer readers on his blog is his psychotic obsession with not only seeing to it but playing a part and getting credit for running Minneapolis Attorney, Jill Clark out of the business. Yes, I said... Getting credit for it. What has Jill Clark done to John Hoff to warrant a THIRTY THREE part blog series focused on destroying her career and personal life?
Hoff claims that Clark has sued everyone in NoMi and has made his efforts of revitalization much more difficult. In my own opinion after having seen similar patterns of mental illness in Hoff's past, he has assaulted her in the manner he has been with his unflattering posts for one reason... Jill Clark represented Jerry Moore in Moore V. Hoff and she WON the case! (Hoff appealed and it was later reversed but, the damage to Hoff's ego had been done.)

Which brings me to my main point... Since Hoff's arrival into the north Minneapolis scene four years ago, he has boasted, bragged and flaunted his "above the law" attitude because of his tight relationships with various city officials who have always appeared to look the other way when he has created controversy. It appears that one by one... Johnny Northside is losing his support network and he will be left to fend for himself against all the L3SO's, Slumlords, Gang and non-Gang members and lots and lots of other people he has pissed off during his quest for attention.

Johnny Northside can no longer claim the city inspections department as a friend of his after being on a "first name basis" with the inspectors.
This latest opinion comes after the rumor being confirmed that the inspections department has finally decided to no longer ignore and look the other way while he operated his house on Bryant Ave. N. as a rental property without a rental license and issued costly fines.
Hoff has also all but ignored the TISH repairs on his house that he had promised to have fixed by the end of 2009. Records clearly confirms that Hoff has not complied with having the repairs made and he has been fined for TISH violations as well.

The city inspections department seem to have adopted the opinion of so many others about Hoff... "Your act is getting old."

I just get the biggest rush in knowing that "what goes around, comes around" and being here to witness it coming back around at Hoff. It couldn't be happening to a bigger jerk than John Hoff.

BREAKING NEWS... Blogger Johnny Northside FINED by the City of Minneapolis

2226 Bryant Ave. N., Minneapolis, MN owned by John Hoff

THIS JUST IN... 

The Misadventures of Johnny Northshide has just been forwarded a tip that North Minneapolis blogger, John Hoff aka Johnny Northside has been cited by the city of Minneapolis for unpermitted repairs and fined $200. 

John Hoff, who has been renting out his Hawthorne neighborhood house without a rental license for the past year, made boiler and plumbing repairs in 2008 without obtaining the required permits. He is endangering lives by renting out his house without a rental inspection or a license. Now the City of Minneapolis has taken action to close down his unlicensed rental property. John Hoff is now officially a "SLUMLORD".

This blog reported on August 2, 2012 that Hoff was operating a rental property without a rental license (click here for that story). Hoff has publicly gone after landlords who have had rentals without a rental license since he started his blog in 2008.
Stay tuned for more information on this story as we will be updating this site accordingly.

Johnny Northside Security Camera Not What He Claims

Johnny Northside aka John Hoff, is getting more and more paranoid. Recently he announced  on his blog that he (actually he said his roommate did it) has installed a remote access security camera. He went on to suggest that it has similar abilities to military camera's which (hardly) allow him to... "tell if a dog is taking a piss or a crap at 500 yards based on the heat signature". 
Click here to read the post on his blog, The Adventures of Johnny Northside. Here is the picture of the camera he posted on his blog.

There are a few things that warrant some clarification with regards to what John claimed in his post as well as some observations I made.
The camera pictured appears to be an "IP Wireless WiFi Pan Tilt Zoom PTZ Security Camera With Support For Internet or Smart Phone Viewing." Click here for specs
The IR (night vision) capability is listed at 10 meters (3 feet, 3 inches per meter). That is the maximum range. The camera pictured appears to have 12 IR illuminators and based off my personal experience with night vision camera's, the camera Hoff uses would be lucky to see past his own sidewalk at night. You can also see the very obvious power cord coming out of it and appears to be plugged into an extension cord that is run along the ceiling. The cord is to power the camera, the base unit and the transmitter which sends a wireless signal to a receiver that is almost certainly inside the house. Wireless signals can be intercepted and viewed using a video scanner. I should also mention that wireless camera's almost always produce an image that has distortion.

Let me put all of that into perspective... The camera Hoff claims he has operating at 2226 Bryant Ave. N. is a wireless camera that is not capable of seeing past his side of the street at night and the image it does produce will always have some distortion in it which means it does not produce a clean, clear picture. Plus, the camera is sitting on a folding clair on his porch with either a storm window or a screen is directly in front of it. What that means is that the IR illuminators will bounce off the window/screen in front of the camera right back at the camera which severely limits what the camera can see. It is like aiming a camera directly at the sun.

Hoff also claims to have TWO roommates. IF that is true, it would mean that there are at least three adults living at his house (John has said he also resides there). Hoff has gotten around having to get a rental license for the property (which would require an inspection that would NOT pass based off of the TISH repairs he did not complete as promised) by claiming he has roommates that live with him. The house has only 2 bedrooms according to county records and for Hoff to live there, it would mean he "rigged" another room in the house to serve as a bedroom and according to county records... He did not obtain a permit to do so.
It is my opinion that John Hoff does not live at 2226 Bryant Ave. N. and that opinion is based off of conversations I have had with neighbors who live on his block. In fact, one long time resident on his block told me that Hoff has not been seen in over a year.  This information has been passed on to the city of Minneapolis and Hennepin County.

Lastly, here is the link to Hoff's blog post about my idea for the city to mount signs that say the area is under video surveillance (the sign in the post was designed by me and I sent a copy to John to put on his site). Click to read.  My idea was to only put signs up but, only dummy camera's would be put up which would make people THINK there are camera's recording what is going on. After reading Hoff's post about his new video camera at his house, I would not be a bit surprised if the camera he has is not a working one at all. Merely a ploy to make people think there is a camera recording what is going on outside his house. He has good reason to do such a thing because, he continues to attack various north Minneapolis residents he see's as "Thugs" by posting pictures of them and personal information about them on his blog. In other words... He has been pissing off a lot of people and they reportedly have not appreciated what he has said about them.

Keep running John! Sooner or later... You will be held accountable for your Internet bullying.

Anti-JNS Exclusive! Up Close & Personal With Johnny Northside's House!

I know the "Exclusive" in the title is really lame but, the point of this blog is to get the inside scoop on all the less-than-legal antics of Johnny Northside aka John Hoffman aka John Willard Hoff who lives at 2226 Bryant Ave. N. in Minneapolis.
A resident of NoMi who is not a fan of Johnny Northside was kind enough to email a few close-up pictures of John's house. I think it is great that people are starting to pay close attention to what he is up to or in some cases, NOT up to. Like... Not fixing his house as he agreed to do when he signed his Truth In Housing when he bought his house. NEWS FLASH!!! John has STILL not paid his 2008 OR 2009 property taxes. Isn't that typical John though? He will pound his chest on his blog and complain about "Tax Payers" in NoMi who have rights against L3SO's and all sorts of other crap he wants to attack and here the ENTIRE TIME, John has NOT PAID his own property taxes. That includes the County, the City of Minneapolis, Minneapolis schools taxes, etc..

He is a real class act. Too bad he can't afford to have simple luxuries like owning a lawn mower so, he doesn't have to ride on the bumper of his "Super-Citizen", mortgage fraudster and fellow Truth in Housing offender of a girlfriend, Megan Goodmundson's car while he literally drags her lawn mower over to his own house to cut his wild weed of a lawn.

Enjoy the nice pictures of his house and I am really happy to welcome all the "Anti-Johnny" northsiders to our growing group of members. Don Samuels, Jeff Skrenes aka Hawthorne Hawkman, Megan and other faithful JNS groupies are losing support quickly now that the MisAdventures of Johnny Northside blog has increased the amount of information about his group that the public doesn't like to hear about (taxes, crappy house, restraining order, etc.).
