At the time, Matthew Philbin and Andrew Philbin, Sr. owned and operated several boarding houses that were rife with health and safety violations. Therefore, DeMaria voted time and again not to renew their licenses. His repeated dissenting votes infuriated the Philbins, thus beginning their quest for vengeance. In 2017, the Philbins purchased the Leader Herald and enlisted Joshua Resnek to publish stories designed to destroy DeMaria’s personal and professional reputations.

Debacle of 43 Corey Street The Complaint also describes how City Clerk Sergio Cornelio used the Leader Herald to attack DeMaria regarding the real estate transaction involving 43 Corey St. According to Lipchitz, in May 2019, DeMaria was approached by Zachary Stratis, who was looking to sell the parcel. DeMaria then invited Cornelio to join him in purchasing the property and work in concert to convert the home into a multifamily development. On August 21, 2019, DeMaria and Cornelio purchased the property from Stratis for $900,000. Lipchitz said that for fi nancing purposes the property was purchased in Cornelio’s name. However, DeMaria and Cornelio remained partners in the venture. Because he is an elected offi - cial, DeMaria contacted KP Law to ensure that there would be no LAWSUIT | SEE PAGE 2
