where I can find tax records, etc. for Donald Leone? He owns this park in Gowanda & even though our water has been undrinkable for about 3 weeks, he wouldn't do anything about fixing it. He also has NOT fixed ANY of the roads, etc.The health department took him to court and fined him $2000 a day and he STILL wouldn't fix it. I understand he's going to court next Wednesday because of the Health department.
He owns lots of properties in the Buffalo area as well.
Anybody have links so I can look him up? I haven't found much with Google so far.
Thanks!
Gowanda Town Hall or the town that has this "park" in their juristriction should have info on him? The Building Inspections Dept. also. If he's in court because of the Health Dept., they had to have public records to serve him "papers", call them & request it via a "Freedom of Information" (FOIL) Law/Act.... Good luck, DO NOT though go outside & melt the yellow snow for water, it's not potable....

I would call 866-1010 and ask for the owner, the enclosed number is for the Bar that is downstairs. Iwill do some other checking and let you know. When putting his name in for Buffalo Records there are as you have mentioned many property listings.

Anyone,
You know that Springwood Village LLC is listed as the owner not in Mr Leone's personal name.
He did pay his 2010 taxes on the property.
There doesn't seem to be a 2011 tax bill on the county site for this property.
I wonder if he is fighting his assessment because I found this on the county site.

Here's the story from the Observer in Dunkirk-
Residents deal with unsafe drinking water
February 22, 2011 - By NICOLE GUGINO OBSERVER Staff Writer
Good luck with everything, Anyone.GOWANDA - Springwood Village Mobile Park residents have been through hell for more than a month.
The trailer park at 14725 Baghdad Road in Gowanda is owned by Donald Leone.
The residents have been dealing with unsafe drinking water since Jan. 24 and have had to deal with a sewage line backing up into a resident's yard for months.
After pleas to Leone for work to be done to fix the problems, nothing happened.
The residents were forced to involve the Erie County Water Authority and the Health Department on the issue.
These agencies tested the water and found high bacteria levels and investigated residents' claims, later taking Leone to court on Feb. 14.
The court ruled action needed to be taken to fix the immediate problems including the sewer backup. This elicited one visit by Leone to the park to fix the sewer backup on Feb. 17, but the drinking water problems remained unattended.
The Health Department is reportedly taking Leone to court once again after testing the water on Feb. 18 and finding it to still be unsafe to drink. One resident noted how helpful the Health Department has been in this fight.
The Springwood Village Mobile Park is home to seniors and children, all of whom have been without drinking water for about a month.
The court has threatened Leone that he may loose the property if proper repairs are not made. Residents fear this will mean they must move out of their homes.
Many residents are in search of free legal advice in the confusing situation to answer questions about who to pay rent to if the property is seized from the owner and will they lose their homes.

I know he's due in court on Wednesday because of the water here. Health dept. told me that. Other than that I have no idea because no one tells us anything.
Thanks so much for this info however. I surely appreciate it.
Jerry, did you hear or maybe can find yesterday's results of Leone's court hearing? My neighbor and I are chomping at the bit about this. I guess we're all worried that he'll lose the park & we'll all have to move.
Someone's adding chlorine to it, (way too much I fear because it's very strong smelling) however I understand that the pumps need replacing which I don't suppose he'd do.
Springwood Village LLC is the enity you are looking for if you are planning on a law suit. Leone is probably listed as one of the company's officers. There should also be a DBA filed somewhere in a County Clerk's office for the company which should have a list of all the company officers.
However as its a LLC, Springwood Village LLC is the only thing you can sue. I've had a few scam artists running businesses protect themselves personally by LLC.
No meaning to be a dick, but as a PI, I would question the reason why a client wanted Leone's person address in this case. You should realize that if you gave that information to another party, and something were to happen, you could be held liable for how that information was used.
I realize the board members are trying to be helpful, and that's cool, but you have to be careful at the same time.

If it is a matter of public record, as in a tax bill, Erie County property records, etc. How could it be held against anyone?Originally posted by Chant:
