Amended Complaint and Motion To Amend, Filed at the Fairfax County Circuit Court.
Update, December 9, 2023
On July 11, 2022, First Services Residential set me an email which indicated that my water damaged condo had been repaired, so in August 2022, I move out of my Kirkland Apartment and drove from Kirkland, Washington 98033 to Belle View, Virginia 22307 to move back into my condo. Only to find upon my arrival on August 22, 2023 that my condo had flooded again with more water infiltration and mold and mildew which caused me lung pain and hence my use of a gas mask. Also, I lost my garden plot because I was so weakened by the poisonous environment in my condo at that time. So, by September 2022, I began looking for another apartment in the Kirkland, Washington area on the internet. On December 12, 2022, I moved out of my moldy uninhabitable condo, and moved back to an apartment in Kirkland, Washington.
Then in February 2023, River Towers management hired contractors, who entered my condo and finally fixed the two-year-old (2021 to 2023) water infiltration problem. Apparently, the repeated water infiltration was caused by leaking internal wall pipes in the condo above my condo. Now, that I am financially broken and displaced to the other side of the country, River Towers Management decided to fix the water damage source in secret, thereby hiding the full extent of the water damages that had rendered my condo uninhabitable and forced me to move three times (June-July 2021: Belle View, VA, 22307 to Kirkland, WA, 98033; and August 2022: Kirkland, WA, 98033 to Belle View VA, 22307; and again in December 2022, from Belle View VA, 22307 to Kirkland, WA, 98033).
River Tower's and First Services Residential's mismanagement and related delays and deception constitutes fraud upon the court because River Towers deceived The General District Court Judge about the fact that my condo was uninhabitable due to water damages from leaking internal wall pipes that they had failed to repair. Consequently, I now have a motion to vacate the River Towers Judgement against my condo and me due to fraud upon the Court.
Update, March 3, 2023
First Services Residential's Completed final temporary repairs to my condo bedroom, which included the installation of a drip pan to collect water from internal convector pipes, and Reston Painting patched over the holes in my bedroom wall.
Update, February 22, 2023
The River Towers Board Covenant Committee (They) suspended my privileges. I am banned from the River Towers grounds, I am blocked from entering River Towers Buildings which block me from my condo, I am not allowed to use the laundry room, or any other facilities at River Towers. They also seized my plants, tools, my sunny daze fountain, and rock pathway in garden Plot W-13 where the image of my murdered deceased friend Emily Lu is buried. I have maintained this Garden Plot W-13 since 2013 for stress relief under the advice of the Veterans Administration to deal with my PTSD, anxiety, and depression from my deployment to the War in Afghanistan (OEF-A). They wish to destroy my life in Virginia to make an example of me because I dared to speak out against their Agent First Services Residential's notorious neglect of the internal building wall convector pipes, which have flooded my condo unit many times, which caused mold and mildew and worsened my health leading to a defibrillation heart attack, which caused my hospitalization on February 10, 2023. They do not believe there is an appeal to the Fairfax County Circuit Court! All their mistreatment of me and my property will soon be on full display in the Fairfax County Circuit Court!

Timeline of Events-Narrative Story Format from May 6, 2020 to December 14, 2023
May 6, 2020-I Joseph M Hoffman had a heart attack in my condo. I was incapacitated for about year. In October 2020, a new management company, First Services Residential took over management of River Towers. In December 2020, I was well enough to walk, and I checked my mailbox, and found over thirty returned uncashed checks for Condo Fees! Thousands of dollars! I was unemployed and disabled and I struggled to bring my account current. After numerous check processing errors and returned click pay debits; finally in frustration on May 11, 2021-I made a $3994.80 payment to my condo click pay account to bring my account current.
Also, in May 2021-cold, dark, spots started appearing on the wall corners in the living room and bedroom of my condo, and a musty smell emitting from these cold dark spots. I discussed with Emily Lu a plan to move to her house in mid- to late June 2021 to avoid the inevitable flooding water damage from the internal pipes. This same spot had flooded twice previously on two separate occasions in the past.
On May 30, 2021, I departed by train from Alexandria, VA to Everett, WA to remove some possessions from my parent’s house in Everett which was being sold.
On June 4, 2021—while staying at my parent’s new address in Everett Washington, I learned via phone call that Emily Lu went missing, and a massive police search was in progress in Fairfax County and beyond.
In June 2021-I returned to my condo and the stench was unbearable from the water damage, while in my condo I could not breathe effectively, I had headaches, itching eyes—so I stayed in a hotel and /or slept in my car. I could not move to Emily Lu's house, so I decided to move to my parent’s new house in Everett, Washington, temporarily. I had to leave my parents’ house after two weeks due to 55 and older community rules, and I also needed income to enable me to find an apartment in Kirkland, Washington due to the water damage in my condo making it unusable for me.
I began applying for jobs in Seattle, Washington, and I began an apartment search. Also, in July 2021-my monthly condo association fee account was turned over to the River Towers collections attorney and my click pay account access was blocked preventing me from making any more condo fee or special assessment payments. Later in July 2021, I returned to my condo, and the musty air was much worse-so I slept at Westin Hotel Alexandria or in my vehicle. I decided to move half of my furniture and possessions from my Condo to Kirkland, Washington. I then flew back to Seattle and went to my Kirkland Apartment application meeting and interviews for my security job. Next, I flew back to Alexandria, and I joined the search for Emily Lu. The stench from the water damage in my condo was unbearable—so I drove my vehicle across the country from Alexandria, Virginia to Everett, Washington. On July 26, 2021, Emily Lu’s body was found by police, she is deceased, murdered, and the suspect in her murder was arrested and is incarcerated. I then moved my possessions out of Emily Lu’s house into a U-Haul truck and I parked the U-Haul truck at a U-Haul facility and then I flew back to Seattle, Washington.
I flew back to Washington DC and from July 30, 2021, to August 2, 2021, I stayed at the Westin Hotel Alexandria, and I received a shipment of furniture from my Maryland storage unit and I moved my possessions out of a U-Haul truck into my condo. I could not sleep in my condo due to water damage and musty air. Early in August 2021, I flew back to Seattle, and I begin working at my security job in Lynwood, Washington and living at my apartment in Kirkland, Washington.
On September 28, 2021, I returned to my condo to finish installation of furniture and complete final repairs for marketing it as a furnished unit up for rent. I could not complete this task due to extensive water damage in my condo. See pictures, in website photo gallery. On September 30, 2021, I returned to Seattle Washington and in December 2021 I begin my temp IT job in Seattle, Washington, which was scheduled to end on May 23, 2022. I planned to begin moving back to my condo in late May 2022 and complete moving back by late June 2022—because by then my temp IT job in Seattle would have ended and my Kirkland Apartment lease was over on
June 21, 2022.
During the months from December 2021 to March 2022, I took several trips from Seattle, Washington back to my River Towers Condo, Belleview, Virginia 22307 to check on it and work in Garden Plot W-13. From May 31,2022 to Memorial Day Weekend, I flew to Washington DC, and I returned to my River Towers Condo to prepare to move back in, and it flooded again, on or about May 31, 2022, with water damages in the bedroom wall corner—creating musty air, which hurt my lungs and eyes and forced my departure again. See the pictures in the photo gallery.
On July 11, 2022, First Services Residential set me an email which indicated that my water damaged condo had been repaired. Consequently in August 2022, I move out of my Kirkland Apartment and drove from Kirkland, Washington, 98033 to Belle View, Virginia 22307, to move back into my condo. Only to find upon my arrival on August 22, 2022 that my condo had flooded again with more water infiltration and mold and mildew which caused me lung pain and hence my use of a gas mask. Also, I lost my garden plot because I was so weakened by the poisonous environment in my condo at that time. So, by September 2022, I began looking for another apartment in the Kirkland, Washington area on the internet.
In October 2022, I begin looking for another apartment located in Kirkland, Washington and in November 2023, I found another apartment in Kirkland, Washington. In December 2023, I moved into my new apartment in Kirkland, Washington. In January 2023, I returned to Virginia for my January 23, 2023, Civil Trial about my condo. I was forced to leave my vehicle in the Washington National Airport Parking Garage because I cannot afford the parking garage fee ($29.00 per day and increasing with each passing day since December 12, 2022). On January 26, 2023, I returned to Kirkland, Washington 98033.
Then in February 2023, River Towers management hired contractors, who entered my condo and finally fixed the two-year-old (May 2021 to May 2023) water infiltration problem. Apparently, the repeated water infiltration was caused by leaking internal wall pipes in the condo above my condo.

Update, May 10, 2023
I traveled to Belle View Virginia to Check on my condo and verify completed repairs in my bedroom.
Update, August 2023
I traveled to Belle View Virginia in an unsuccessful attempt to move back into my condo and an unsuccessful attempt to retrieve my vehicle. Both of these efforts were unsuccessful due to my lack of funds that were spent previously on all the moves and trips and lodging expenses caused by displacement from my condo due to my condo being uninhabitable from repeated mold infestation and water infiltration.
River Tower's and First Services Residential's mismanagement and related delays and deception constitutes fraud upon the court because River Towers deceived The General District Court Judge about the fact that my condo was uninhabitable due to water damages from leaking internal wall pipes that they had failed to repair.

Operation Enduring Freedom-Afghanistan Disabled War Veteran.
I served in the US Navy from November 1, 1995 to August 11, 2008 with many deployments worldwide including two back to back deployments to Afghanistan to support the US Army and NATO from May 2006 to May 2007. My third deployment to Afghanistan was abruptly cancelled by Navy Medical and I was declared medically unfit for worldwide deployment in 2008. The Navy refused to either deploy me or medically retire me so I separated from the Navy in August 2008. The Veterans Administration rated me 90% disabled for Sleep Apnea, respiratory infection/problems, tinnitus, ankle injuries, and PTSD with anxiety and depression. I purchased a condo with a Veterans Administration Guaranteed Loan at River Towers 6621 building in March 2009.
