Greenfield landlord should once more put tenants up in lodge

GREENFIELD — It was deja vu for landowner Douglas Sky Wight on Friday, who was dictated by a referee to cabin two of his tenants in a inn until his next field date.

Western Housing Court Judge Robert G. Battlefields told Wight, who owns 237 Conway St. in Greenfield, he must foot the bill for a area with cooking facilities until Jan. 13. If the inn apartment does not have amenities needed to prepare food, Wight must give the couple $ 75 a daytime as a menu stipend.

It was comparable to an guild given to Wight, in courtroom due to safety contraventions cited by the city, about a month ago. Jacqueline Wilson and her sweetheart had been living in the attic for about two and a half years, but city government officials to saw it uninhabitable. Wilson said she and her boyfriend abode at the Red Roof PLUS+ in South Deerfield for four dates on Wight’s dime and returned to live at 237 Conway St ., although not in the attic.

Following a court recess, Wight said he had called the same hotel and booked a area for seven days. When the assistant salesclerk magistrate informed him the tenants had to be accommodated until Jan. 13, Wight said he would extend the reservations. Once Fields returned to the courtroom, Jennifer Dieringer, the advocate representing Wilson through Community Legal Aid, said the Red Roof PLUS+ does not have cooking equipment and that the fridge, microwave and coffeemaker cited by Wight do not count. Wight had recommended the two could march to a nearby Cumberland Farms for microwavable food. He seemed stunned the daily $75 menu subsidy would be in addition to the cost of the office and told Fields he would have to cancel the reservations and experience a different hotel because he cannot afford that cumulative expenditure. The stipend would stretch to $750 by Jan. 13.

Wight told the Greenfield Recorder he felt “totally screwed over” by the court decision.

Fields also told Wight no one other than the five people( including Wight) living in the house could stay over in their own homes. Dieringer said two added beings have moved in since the Dec. 28 court time, though Wight said that is untrue. He told Environments that tenant Steven Giannetti’s friends have simply stayed on a couch in the building for got a couple of darkness. Arenas said even that is unacceptable.

Dieringer said Wight is “making a lot of fund off of poor person, ” to which Wight mutely shook his head.

Attorney Roger Reid, who is representing Greenfield, told Environments the city is pleased the building’s smoke alarms are now hardwired to work in unison, as Wight was previously mandated to accomplish, and he hopes Wight can acquire some other restores by Jan. 13. Wight received a cease-and-desist letter from Greenfield Building Inspector Mark Snow in October.

Wight said he cares about his tenants and has worked hard to resolve this matter. He previously told the Greenfield Recorder he rents out rooms to the poor and homeless because he wants to help, having become an advocate for the less fortunate due to living out of the back of a pickup truck for 10 years.
