Speaker 1 (00:49):
I really want to.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I really want to, Kristin, will you do me a favor?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Why are you saying it like that?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I mean there's drama and then there's drama, and this
is and there's drama. So somebody, if anybody lives in
the Potomac Yard area of Alexandria and preferably lives under
the Potomac Yard Homeowners Association, I need you please. Also,
(01:27):
if anybody knows Frank Capone or if you are Frank Capone,
I'd like to hear from you. Frank Capone is in
the middle of the drama in a big way, in
a big way.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Is that unfamiliar with that name?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Do you know the cope? Now?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I don't know that Frank's related to al What about
via the Oh that's true, it could be related to Verra.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Well, I wouldn't know. I'll wait on Yvonne to let
me know.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Frank Compone has spent forty thousand dollars suiting the homeowners
Association for his So it sounds like now I'll be
defend Frank for a second for his What say, it's
a laundry list of stuff. Frank hates the homeowners Association.
He put those Christmas lights up in twenty twenty one
(02:22):
and he ain't taken them down.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
They're still up.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Was the h away formed after he moved in?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
No, no, no, no, Frank hated the board so much
he joined the board. They hated Frank so much after that,
he's now off the board.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Was he trying to get out from under some sort
of fine schedule?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Oh, there is a fine schedule. There are fines, but
he doesn't care. So why did he join to try
to change the rules bingo. He thought that the people
running the board had big sticks in their ass, so
he was going to change it.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
I can guarantee you I am. I do not know
nor what I be friends with this guy.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Why what is he doing that's getting him in the.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Trimble the magic phrase you said, where he has spent
forty thousand dollars fighting the HOA over stupid crap like
a Christmas light is.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Well, it's more than just the Christmas lights. Diane, his wife,
jokingly said, we could have traveled the world.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
That's not a joke. She's seething.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
So yes, the homeowners Association existed before Frank Capone moved.
In the rules, it says the Potomac Yard HOA charges
members one hundred and twenty five dollars a month, which
it spends mostly on snow removal, storm water management, insurance,
common area maintenance, and landscaping. It enforces its rules governing
(03:52):
property exteriors using citations and occasional fines. Right that, by
the way, sounds like every HOA anybody has ever been
a part of.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
The rules of the HOA.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Band garden sheds, jungle gyms, sandboxes, awnings, clotheslines, bird houses,
bird bats, bird feeders.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Residents may display an American flag, but no garden flags.
Uh oh, no banners, no political signs. Homes are painted
by the builder in one of twenty one colors, and
homeowners cannot change the house that was originally painted. All
(04:37):
exterior doorknobs and locks must be finished in satin nickel.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Now listen, I hear that, and go this blows. However,
you know that when you're moving in.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Now to go back to your question, he has spent
his forty thousand dollars suing the ho over his right
to quote plan a Mickey Mouse garden flag in his
front flower pot.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Are you serious, Disney dude, he's.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Trying to revoke revoke street parking privileges for twenty two neighbors.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
That's a good one. I'll get to that in a second.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
What does that even mean, I'll do it.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
He also has four bird featers that he put up.
Remember those are banned. So the HOA says that there
are that all residents are guaranteed parking in some way.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
But there's like.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
A couple of dozen people who don't have a garage. Yeah,
so they took a street and said this street is reserved, sir,
street parking for these residents that don't have a garage.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Well, you know who doesn't like that, mister Frank Capone.
You know why? Public street?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
So you know what Frank Capone does, speeds up and
down that street, blowing through stop signs and blaring his horn.
And when they're like, dude, you can't speed, it's dangerous,
He's like, hey, private road, speeds down there and blares
the horn. People hate Frank Capone.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
No kidding, But you still want to talk to him.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Oh, I'd love to. I would love to.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Now, the Disney Garden flag you mentioned, I see it here?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Did you?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Did you get a picture of it? Do you know
what it says?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I just I just saw that. It was Mickey Mouse
with sunglasses on.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yes, in a beach scene with the words below this
is the Life. But that's right next to a small
what is that? What are this called Japanese sky pencils
that have Christmas lights all over?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It can't have those up.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Unless are those Those might be oh those are orange
and purple, those may be Halloween. No, like, was this
photo just taken in the last month or so?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Again? No, lights, No lights? Am I going to line one?
Hi Ellie in the morning. It's going on, guys, all right.
So to preface, I do not.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Know Frank Capone, but when you said that name.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I'm like, I feel like I know this dude or
I know of him.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
So I went on the Book of Faces and we
got some mutual friends because he hangs out where my
buddy hangs out at the Knights of Columbus in your neighborhood, Elliott.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Wait, is he in Arlington?
Speaker 8 (07:28):
He goes to that Knights of Columbus who got sub
posted at the Knights of Columbus off Little Falls. So
if you want to hang out and you don't want
to chat with Frank Capone, you got.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
He's right in the hood.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Oh I wonder, I wonder, like who, like is he
tight with? Like my friends the Allen Balls live very
close to there.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I wonder if he's friends.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
With you Allan I know I know them as well,
but I don't.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
He doesn't live there, obviously, but he hangs out over there.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Well, he's got no friends in Potomac Yards. They all
hate his guts.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
I mean they go to the pool. I can only imagine,
and they'd be throwing him in duncan left it right,
He's got to go to another neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Wow, unbelievable. All right, very good, very good. Thank you.
There you go. Keep an eye out. Hey, tell the
Alan Bonds. I said, what's up. There's Frank.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah. So somebody just sent me this website. It doesn't
look like it's active, but the url is remove frankcopone
dot org.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Oh yeah, so so people.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, so when he was on the board, when he
was on the board, yeah, all the other board members
and residents put together a compilation video of him going
off at board meetings, of him going like just going
off on super cool.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
They called it a sizzle reel, but yes, it was
a sizzle reel to vote him off the board, right,
and then he sued them for as part of the
lawsuit for it being a public Oh and then they
were like, okay, we'll just make it private. Yah, and
Frank is hot.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
I wonder how this listener was familiar with the website.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I bet they lived there.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You know.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
The last time a sizzle reel came up, it was
when you tried out for an anime roll.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Let's run to the store, let's coach to Victor, help
Vejetta in help me Captain Janeway No do.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
That in the end.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
To broadcast his belief in free use and in alienability.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Also the other thing that he's not a lawyer, but
he's been studying cases online. Fine, so he sits at
he'll sit at meetings and they'll go Frank the HOA
bylaws say you can have bird feeders Jersey versus smith
(09:48):
Field nineteen fifty eight Bird's Right to Food Act or
whatever he cites, and everybody in there's like, hey, put
that on the sizzle reel and he starts screw at people.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
That is by the way, though maybe not for an
individual board member to do their own research. But Hoay's
point at previous precedent all the time, right, because when
I voiced wanting to get rid of the assisted living
facility next to us, they found some document outlying and
(10:23):
HOA that tried to boot one and it just costs
thousands of thousands of dollars and they ended up not winning,
and we just essentially had to say, oh, well.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, it's staying.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
By the way, so they put the sizzle reel together
to get capone off the board. They held that vote
and the vote was.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Four hundred and five to four. He's off the board.
He doesn't care. Oh wait line three?
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Who were the four?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Frank?
Speaker 4 (10:59):
His wife wigs.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Hi Elliott the morning.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
Good morning?
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Is this me?
Speaker 9 (11:07):
Yeah? Hi?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Who's this?
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (11:10):
This is Dan.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
I'm an HOA lawyer. I called you a couple months ago.
I have a podcast. Remember you booed me pretty Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yes that's right, yes, yes.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Yes, yeah, thanks for not booing this time.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Hey, so you are you familiar with Frank Capone or
do you hear this and go, oh, I know all
about this stuff.
Speaker 10 (11:35):
I saw the article in the New York Times this morning,
and uh, I do see this stuff a little too often.
Sometimes there are people out there that maybe are not
suited to live.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
In community associations. So you see this from time to
time where people just don't want to follow the rules
and play along, and maybe they should live somewhere where
there's not an h OA.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Well, and that's what a couple people said, is like, listen, dude,
instead of By the way, he has spent forty thousand
dollars suing the HOA.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
His fines are up to five thousand and five, so
he's at fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Plus I don't know what kind of time it takes
to be able to cite New Jersey versus Hatfield nineteen
fifty eight. And all the time he's doing where some
people were like, dude, just move, move to someplace where
there's not an hoa and he's like, I'm.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Fighting for everyone. Well it was four hundred and five
to four who told you to go pound sand? Like
just move? Like who needs that kind of a headache?
Like don't you have a job?
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Yeah, Elliott, I see this kind of stuff and sometimes
I scratch my head and it's like, where do you
find the time and energy? You know, you have a
full time job, you have a family, Like where did
the time and energy?
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Is?
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Then the money forty thousand dollars on legal fees?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
You know?
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Yeah, I don't know, Elliott. It is a head scratch
or something.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
And listen, I get I get that you're pissed off
and you think it's wrong, But you knew those rules
when you moved in.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Crazy crazy you legal noted.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Whether you read the rules or not. You're on legal
note though, All right, correspondent, you guys could call me
any time, All.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Right, Hold on one second, Hold on one second, let
me go to line for Hi Elliott the Morning.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Hey, yeah, Hi, who's that by?
Speaker 9 (13:37):
My name is Ricky Dana. I am the lady. That's
Frank sued.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Or one of them. I should say, wait, hold on,
hold on, you're in the article. You're in the article. Yeah, wait,
hold on, here we go.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Wasn't it her seat?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It says, yeah, let's see, Frank Compone won the h
O a board seat previously occupied.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
By Ricky Dane.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Uh, that's me.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Dana had originally joined the association's leadership to push for
change after its rules prohibit her from changing the color
of her front door from rotten salmon to blue.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
So you're you're like, you're like, Frank, you can't follow
the rule.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
No, yes, no.
Speaker 9 (14:19):
So that part of the article actually is incorrect. I
joined the board because a few neighbors approached me because
of Frank Capone. Oh so, like the article said something
like the trouble started in twenty twenty one, and that's
not accurate. It's then he's been a problem since the
(14:40):
beginning when everyone moved in in my twenty thirteen Oh
my god.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Oh by the way, yeah, so I wouldn't think The
New York Times could get anything right?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
So are you not behind the pet Wait.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Ma'am, Dana Dana? Are you?
Speaker 9 (14:58):
Yeah? That is me?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Are you behind the change dot Org?
Speaker 9 (15:03):
Yes? And that's why he sued me is because I
got him kicked off.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
The board four five to four. He got his ass kicked.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
I laugh what he says he's fighting for all of us,
because no, he isn't. I mean we've had to We've
had to contact the city and let them know that
when capone emails, it is not on behalf of the
board or the HOA or anything, because he'll he'll write
city officials and be like on behalf of the Potomac
Yard board. Da da da da da da da. You know,
(15:34):
in many fights, like a hundred cases that nobody cares about,
and so somehow it gets back to us and you
know that we have to write the city officials or
like our HOA manager will And she's like, just to
be clear, Frank does not speak for us, nor does
he represent us.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Do you and Frank ever run into each other?
Speaker 9 (15:55):
Oh? Yes, oh yes?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Is it awkward? Is it uncomfortable?
Speaker 9 (16:03):
I'm not uncomfortable. I can tell I make him uncomfortable.
I'm one of the co founders of the Stop the
Arena group, oh okay, and he used to show up
to like our press conferences or even when we would
have like information stands at the farmers market and stuff.
(16:25):
He'd show up like just yelling stuff out, like calling
us racist and just trolling with whatever. And a couple
of times if I stepped out of the crowd, because
he knows who I am now, and if I stepped
out of the crowd, it was like, sprank, you got
something you want to say to me? He would totally
back off. He loves to bully women, but as soon
(16:47):
as you stand up to him, he backs right off.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Can I ask you a question, and I don't want
you to take it as I want to ask you something.
I don't want you to be offended by the question.
Speaker 9 (17:03):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
So you were the you were the head of the
stop the Stadium thing, which is fine. I get it.
There were people in the area that didn't want it.
You also thought, no, no, not the.
Speaker 9 (17:11):
Head co founder. There were several of us. I just
want to make that clear.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Okay, point made you also went after the HOA because
you couldn't change your door from rotten salmon to blue.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
No, no, that's what it says.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
I didn't go after them. I know I did not
go after them. There's paperwork you have to fill out.
I think it's an architectural review of something.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Would neighbors say you're one of those people?
Speaker 9 (17:38):
No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Okay, that's all I wanted to ask.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
She doesn't seem that seem like that.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I just you know me, I'm nothing but fair and
fair in both sided.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Door color. I misunderstood because I read.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You don't know the difference between salmon and blue.
Speaker 9 (17:56):
No, no, no, I misunderstood. I thought it was just
saying you had asked to change your door color, which
I've heard of before, and so I figured they had
to approve, like from a palette. So like I submitted
like three or four different colors. A blue was like, hey,
pick one. Then I when.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I was told okay, nobody cares, nobody cares, let.
Speaker 9 (18:18):
Me get back to color, was like okay, and that
was it.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Okay, let's get back to you in a component.
Speaker 9 (18:24):
Frank Frank turned my door thing into a big deal
and it was nothing. I was told no, and that
was the end of it.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Okay, all right. Wait, Tyler has Dana Tyler has a
question about Frank.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Yeah, clearly you've seen the piece that we're discussing and
live fact checking it. There's no explanation given. But there's
a photo of what looks like a tent.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
What is that.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
He has? I think it's just a little pop up tent,
like not like a big camping tents. But because we're
just supposed to keep our areas clean and free of debris,
he just shoved this tent out on the balcony and
(19:16):
he's got like Christmas lights strung up like supposed to
not the person. Yeah, he's got all sorts of craps,
Trump sized. I mean at one point he had I
think it was a Trump sign. It was some sort
of a sign, and rather than like put it on
(19:38):
the stakes in his yard or whatever, he had blue
painter's tape and just had it taped to his house.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Right.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
And again that's only because trying to make his place
like trashy.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
No, he's saying, I like, I can't put up a
political sign, so I'm going to put it on my
garage door.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I can't have I can't, I can't have a partner.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
People don't have a parking spot, so I'm just going
to blaze myself up and down the street, honking the
horn and screaming at people.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Oh I forgot about that part.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Yeah, that's the safe parking spot.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
He has too. He has a garage in a driveway.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, but not everybody's.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
So if you're going to if you're going to take
care of some, you got to take care of all.
Frank that and that's why when Frank writes those letters
to the city, he's doing it for everybody.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Now. So if I if I talk to Frank.
Speaker 9 (20:30):
First run in with Frank, I won't stay running. He
used to walk up and down our streets and take
pictures of people that he thought, you know, was violating something.
This is when I was on the board, So like
twenty nineteen to twenty twenty one, he'd walk up and
down the street and take pictures and then just email
them to it like no address, nothing, and just was
(20:53):
buy it, here's the violation.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Man.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
And then and people had call not on next door
and they're like, Frank quit like walking around taking pictures
of us. It's weird. And that he'd gets so inflammatory
on next door. He got kicked off multiple times he'd
come back on with fake names. His last safe name
was Pete Cromwell. I think he's back now as Frank.
(21:21):
I'm not sure I got off next door.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I mean this name is Dicky wait.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
So exactly so he would he would go off on
next door on everybody.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
Oh yes, yes. And that's some of the stuff I
took to court was printout full screenshots of the way
he would go after people on next door. Like it's
not just in those videos, the so called sizzle reel,
Like he's the same way via email, on next door,
any place you've got a platform, he just goes nuts.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
If Frank were to call me right now, would Frank
tell him me, uh, Ricky Dana, I hate her?
Speaker 9 (22:04):
Oh yes, he hates me.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
What is his job? By the way, is he a lawyer?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
No?
Speaker 9 (22:11):
No, he's he does sails for uh I think it's
software sells for the do od. He's a contractor, gotcha?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Gotcha?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I was gonna say he's not a lawyer, because he
would sit there and go, I know I would know
how to fight this.
Speaker 9 (22:27):
No, I have no idea how he even found a
lawyer that would like put up with his anticks.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
There was another by the way, for I'd represent.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Him, he.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Would.
Speaker 9 (22:41):
I don't know if this other guy was frank sidekick
or if it was the other way around, but we
called him ran and stimpy for a little while, and
then the other guy like this is the light bad?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Right do people like?
Speaker 9 (22:58):
Like?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Is that all anybody in the neighborhood talks about is
Frank Capone?
Speaker 9 (23:04):
Only when something like this comes up, Like, for the
most part, we all hang out, we have neighborhood parties,
you know, our kids all play together, and it's fine.
But there'll be some random thing, either Frank's blown the
stop sign or he yelled at somebody you know that
was walking down the street. And then for a week
or two it's all about Frank Capone and then it
(23:25):
dives down again.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
So you're no longer in litigation with him.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
I am not. The judge ruled in my favor at
the end of it. Oh totally that his that they
in court. He I mean, he just did not look good.
I was super nervous. But according to my fan base
that came with me, they said I looked good. Had
all my information. Frank, on the other hand, he never
(23:56):
sat down. He stood like rocking the whole time and
just sweating profusely, and he had a paper in his hand,
which I'm assuming was one of the cases of you know,
one hundred that he was going to fight, and he'd
read off of that a lot, and the judge would
like have to redirect him to the purpose of why
we're in court. So when I first got the notice
(24:20):
that I was being sued, like, I was so confused
because I'm like, I don't owe this guy money.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
What the heck?
Speaker 9 (24:26):
And some lady from the court called me and she was,
you know, told me what she did for the court
and everything, and she's like, I spoke with mister Capole
and he's willing to settle, you know, like let he
wants to mediate and settle rather than go to court.
And I just bust out laughing, and she goes, is
got a no, And I said, ma'am, I have not
(24:46):
signed any paperwork with him. I don't owe him money.
He's mad at me because I got him kicked off
our hoa board, and then she started laughing. She's like,
You've got to be kidding me, and I'm like no,
And so I told her, you know, the short version,
and she goes Okay, here's what you need to have
prepared for the court. Oh wow, and she actually helped me.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Good. No, that's awesome. That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Well, listen, if Frank calls me, which I don't know
that he will, but if Frank calls me, I'm going
to conference you back in Okay, all right, Ricky, Hey,
I appreciate it. Hold tight one second, all right, hold
on one second.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Could you imagine God
The Potomac Yard section of Alexandria. Yeah, pretty busy area.
Sound pretty busy area.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Would it be possible, would it be possible to find somebody,
hold on, I want to make sure I have it right,
who lives in that area, who is also part of
the Potomac Yard's Homeowners Association. Like there are a ton
of townhouses back in there. Yeah, like there's a ton
of residential There's probably a billion people that live in.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Potomac Yard, give or take a hundred, like a hundred billion.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
But would it be possible to find a somebody that
lives in Potomac Yards and that might live under the
Potomac Yard Homeowners Association?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I think so?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I really want to.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I really want to, Kristin, will you do me a favor?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Why are you saying it like that?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I mean there's drama and then there's drama, and this
is and there's drama. So somebody, if anybody lives in
the Potomac Yard area of Alexandria and preferably lives under
the Potomac Yard Homeowners Association, I need you please. Also,
(01:27):
if anybody knows Frank Capone or if you are Frank Capone,
I'd like to hear from you. Frank Capone is in
the middle of the drama in a big way, in
a big way.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Is that unfamiliar with that name?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Do you know the cope? Now?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I don't know that Frank's related to al What about
via the Oh that's true, it could be related to Verra.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Well, I wouldn't know. I'll wait on Yvonne to let
me know.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Frank Compone has spent forty thousand dollars suiting the homeowners
Association for his So it sounds like now I'll be
defend Frank for a second for his What say, it's
a laundry list of stuff. Frank hates the homeowners Association.
He put those Christmas lights up in twenty twenty one
(02:22):
and he ain't taken them down.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
They're still up.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Was the h away formed after he moved in?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
No, no, no, no, Frank hated the board so much
he joined the board. They hated Frank so much after that,
he's now off the board.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Was he trying to get out from under some sort
of fine schedule?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Oh, there is a fine schedule. There are fines, but
he doesn't care. So why did he join to try
to change the rules bingo. He thought that the people
running the board had big sticks in their ass, so
he was going to change it.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
I can guarantee you I am. I do not know
nor what I be friends with this guy.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Why what is he doing that's getting him in the.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Trimble the magic phrase you said, where he has spent
forty thousand dollars fighting the HOA over stupid crap like
a Christmas light is.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Well, it's more than just the Christmas lights. Diane, his wife,
jokingly said, we could have traveled the world.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
That's not a joke. She's seething.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
So yes, the homeowners Association existed before Frank Capone moved.
In the rules, it says the Potomac Yard HOA charges
members one hundred and twenty five dollars a month, which
it spends mostly on snow removal, storm water management, insurance,
common area maintenance, and landscaping. It enforces its rules governing
(03:52):
property exteriors using citations and occasional fines. Right that, by
the way, sounds like every HOA anybody has ever been
a part of.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
The rules of the HOA.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Band garden sheds, jungle gyms, sandboxes, awnings, clotheslines, bird houses,
bird bats, bird feeders.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Residents may display an American flag, but no garden flags.
Uh oh, no banners, no political signs. Homes are painted
by the builder in one of twenty one colors, and
homeowners cannot change the house that was originally painted. All
(04:37):
exterior doorknobs and locks must be finished in satin nickel.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Now listen, I hear that, and go this blows. However,
you know that when you're moving in.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Now to go back to your question, he has spent
his forty thousand dollars suing the ho over his right
to quote plan a Mickey Mouse garden flag in his
front flower pot.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Are you serious, Disney dude, he's.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Trying to revoke revoke street parking privileges for twenty two neighbors.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
That's a good one. I'll get to that in a second.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
What does that even mean, I'll do it.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
He also has four bird featers that he put up.
Remember those are banned. So the HOA says that there
are that all residents are guaranteed parking in some way.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
But there's like.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
A couple of dozen people who don't have a garage. Yeah,
so they took a street and said this street is reserved, sir,
street parking for these residents that don't have a garage.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Well, you know who doesn't like that, mister Frank Capone.
You know why? Public street?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
So you know what Frank Capone does, speeds up and
down that street, blowing through stop signs and blaring his horn.
And when they're like, dude, you can't speed, it's dangerous,
He's like, hey, private road, speeds down there and blares
the horn. People hate Frank Capone.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
No kidding, But you still want to talk to him.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Oh, I'd love to. I would love to.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Now, the Disney Garden flag you mentioned, I see it here?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Did you?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Did you get a picture of it? Do you know
what it says?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I just I just saw that. It was Mickey Mouse
with sunglasses on.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yes, in a beach scene with the words below this
is the Life. But that's right next to a small
what is that? What are this called Japanese sky pencils
that have Christmas lights all over?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It can't have those up.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Unless are those Those might be oh those are orange
and purple, those may be Halloween. No, like, was this
photo just taken in the last month or so?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Again? No, lights, No lights? Am I going to line one?
Hi Ellie in the morning. It's going on, guys, all right.
So to preface, I do not.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Know Frank Capone, but when you said that name.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I'm like, I feel like I know this dude or
I know of him.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
So I went on the Book of Faces and we
got some mutual friends because he hangs out where my
buddy hangs out at the Knights of Columbus in your neighborhood, Elliott.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Wait, is he in Arlington?
Speaker 8 (07:28):
He goes to that Knights of Columbus who got sub
posted at the Knights of Columbus off Little Falls. So
if you want to hang out and you don't want
to chat with Frank Capone, you got.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
He's right in the hood.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Oh I wonder, I wonder, like who, like is he
tight with? Like my friends the Allen Balls live very
close to there.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I wonder if he's friends.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
With you Allan I know I know them as well,
but I don't.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
He doesn't live there, obviously, but he hangs out over there.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Well, he's got no friends in Potomac Yards. They all
hate his guts.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
I mean they go to the pool. I can only imagine,
and they'd be throwing him in duncan left it right,
He's got to go to another neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Wow, unbelievable. All right, very good, very good. Thank you.
There you go. Keep an eye out. Hey, tell the
Alan Bonds. I said, what's up. There's Frank.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah. So somebody just sent me this website. It doesn't
look like it's active, but the url is remove frankcopone
dot org.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Oh yeah, so so people.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, so when he was on the board, when he
was on the board, yeah, all the other board members
and residents put together a compilation video of him going
off at board meetings, of him going like just going
off on super cool.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
They called it a sizzle reel, but yes, it was
a sizzle reel to vote him off the board, right,
and then he sued them for as part of the
lawsuit for it being a public Oh and then they
were like, okay, we'll just make it private. Yah, and
Frank is hot.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
I wonder how this listener was familiar with the website.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I bet they lived there.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You know.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
The last time a sizzle reel came up, it was
when you tried out for an anime roll.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Let's run to the store, let's coach to Victor, help
Vejetta in help me Captain Janeway No do.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
That in the end.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
To broadcast his belief in free use and in alienability.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Also the other thing that he's not a lawyer, but
he's been studying cases online. Fine, so he sits at
he'll sit at meetings and they'll go Frank the HOA
bylaws say you can have bird feeders Jersey versus smith
(09:48):
Field nineteen fifty eight Bird's Right to Food Act or
whatever he cites, and everybody in there's like, hey, put
that on the sizzle reel and he starts screw at people.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
That is by the way, though maybe not for an
individual board member to do their own research. But Hoay's
point at previous precedent all the time, right, because when
I voiced wanting to get rid of the assisted living
facility next to us, they found some document outlying and
(10:23):
HOA that tried to boot one and it just costs
thousands of thousands of dollars and they ended up not winning,
and we just essentially had to say, oh, well.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, it's staying.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
By the way, so they put the sizzle reel together
to get capone off the board. They held that vote
and the vote was.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Four hundred and five to four. He's off the board.
He doesn't care. Oh wait line three?
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Who were the four?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Frank?
Speaker 4 (10:59):
His wife wigs.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Hi Elliott the morning.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
Good morning?
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Is this me?
Speaker 9 (11:07):
Yeah? Hi?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Who's this?
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (11:10):
This is Dan.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
I'm an HOA lawyer. I called you a couple months ago.
I have a podcast. Remember you booed me pretty Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yes that's right, yes, yes.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Yes, yeah, thanks for not booing this time.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Hey, so you are you familiar with Frank Capone or
do you hear this and go, oh, I know all
about this stuff.
Speaker 10 (11:35):
I saw the article in the New York Times this morning,
and uh, I do see this stuff a little too often.
Sometimes there are people out there that maybe are not
suited to live.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
In community associations. So you see this from time to
time where people just don't want to follow the rules
and play along, and maybe they should live somewhere where
there's not an h OA.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Well, and that's what a couple people said, is like, listen, dude,
instead of By the way, he has spent forty thousand
dollars suing the HOA.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
His fines are up to five thousand and five, so
he's at fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Plus I don't know what kind of time it takes
to be able to cite New Jersey versus Hatfield nineteen
fifty eight. And all the time he's doing where some
people were like, dude, just move, move to someplace where
there's not an hoa and he's like, I'm.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Fighting for everyone. Well it was four hundred and five
to four who told you to go pound sand? Like
just move? Like who needs that kind of a headache?
Like don't you have a job?
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Yeah, Elliott, I see this kind of stuff and sometimes
I scratch my head and it's like, where do you
find the time and energy? You know, you have a
full time job, you have a family, Like where did
the time and energy?
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Is?
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Then the money forty thousand dollars on legal fees?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
You know?
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Yeah, I don't know, Elliott. It is a head scratch
or something.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
And listen, I get I get that you're pissed off
and you think it's wrong, But you knew those rules
when you moved in.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Crazy crazy you legal noted.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Whether you read the rules or not. You're on legal
note though, All right, correspondent, you guys could call me
any time, All.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Right, Hold on one second, Hold on one second, let
me go to line for Hi Elliott the Morning.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Hey, yeah, Hi, who's that by?
Speaker 9 (13:37):
My name is Ricky Dana. I am the lady. That's
Frank sued.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Or one of them. I should say, wait, hold on,
hold on, you're in the article. You're in the article. Yeah, wait,
hold on, here we go.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Wasn't it her seat?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It says, yeah, let's see, Frank Compone won the h
O a board seat previously occupied.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
By Ricky Dane.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Uh, that's me.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Dana had originally joined the association's leadership to push for
change after its rules prohibit her from changing the color
of her front door from rotten salmon to blue.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
So you're you're like, you're like, Frank, you can't follow
the rule.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
No, yes, no.
Speaker 9 (14:19):
So that part of the article actually is incorrect. I
joined the board because a few neighbors approached me because
of Frank Capone. Oh so, like the article said something
like the trouble started in twenty twenty one, and that's
not accurate. It's then he's been a problem since the
(14:40):
beginning when everyone moved in in my twenty thirteen Oh
my god.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Oh by the way, yeah, so I wouldn't think The
New York Times could get anything right?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
So are you not behind the pet Wait.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Ma'am, Dana Dana? Are you?
Speaker 9 (14:58):
Yeah? That is me?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Are you behind the change dot Org?
Speaker 9 (15:03):
Yes? And that's why he sued me is because I
got him kicked off.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
The board four five to four. He got his ass kicked.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
I laugh what he says he's fighting for all of us,
because no, he isn't. I mean we've had to We've
had to contact the city and let them know that
when capone emails, it is not on behalf of the
board or the HOA or anything, because he'll he'll write
city officials and be like on behalf of the Potomac
Yard board. Da da da da da da da. You know,
(15:34):
in many fights, like a hundred cases that nobody cares about,
and so somehow it gets back to us and you
know that we have to write the city officials or
like our HOA manager will And she's like, just to
be clear, Frank does not speak for us, nor does
he represent us.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Do you and Frank ever run into each other?
Speaker 9 (15:55):
Oh? Yes, oh yes?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Is it awkward? Is it uncomfortable?
Speaker 9 (16:03):
I'm not uncomfortable. I can tell I make him uncomfortable.
I'm one of the co founders of the Stop the
Arena group, oh okay, and he used to show up
to like our press conferences or even when we would
have like information stands at the farmers market and stuff.
(16:25):
He'd show up like just yelling stuff out, like calling
us racist and just trolling with whatever. And a couple
of times if I stepped out of the crowd, because
he knows who I am now, and if I stepped
out of the crowd, it was like, sprank, you got
something you want to say to me? He would totally
back off. He loves to bully women, but as soon
(16:47):
as you stand up to him, he backs right off.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Can I ask you a question, and I don't want
you to take it as I want to ask you something.
I don't want you to be offended by the question.
Speaker 9 (17:03):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
So you were the you were the head of the
stop the Stadium thing, which is fine. I get it.
There were people in the area that didn't want it.
You also thought, no, no, not the.
Speaker 9 (17:11):
Head co founder. There were several of us. I just
want to make that clear.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Okay, point made you also went after the HOA because
you couldn't change your door from rotten salmon to blue.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
No, no, that's what it says.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
I didn't go after them. I know I did not
go after them. There's paperwork you have to fill out.
I think it's an architectural review of something.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Would neighbors say you're one of those people?
Speaker 9 (17:38):
No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Okay, that's all I wanted to ask.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
She doesn't seem that seem like that.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I just you know me, I'm nothing but fair and
fair in both sided.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Door color. I misunderstood because I read.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You don't know the difference between salmon and blue.
Speaker 9 (17:56):
No, no, no, I misunderstood. I thought it was just
saying you had asked to change your door color, which
I've heard of before, and so I figured they had
to approve, like from a palette. So like I submitted
like three or four different colors. A blue was like, hey,
pick one. Then I when.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I was told okay, nobody cares, nobody cares, let.
Speaker 9 (18:18):
Me get back to color, was like okay, and that
was it.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Okay, let's get back to you in a component.
Speaker 9 (18:24):
Frank Frank turned my door thing into a big deal
and it was nothing. I was told no, and that
was the end of it.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Okay, all right. Wait, Tyler has Dana Tyler has a
question about Frank.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Yeah, clearly you've seen the piece that we're discussing and
live fact checking it. There's no explanation given. But there's
a photo of what looks like a tent.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
What is that.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
He has? I think it's just a little pop up tent,
like not like a big camping tents. But because we're
just supposed to keep our areas clean and free of debris,
he just shoved this tent out on the balcony and
(19:16):
he's got like Christmas lights strung up like supposed to
not the person. Yeah, he's got all sorts of craps,
Trump sized. I mean at one point he had I
think it was a Trump sign. It was some sort
of a sign, and rather than like put it on
(19:38):
the stakes in his yard or whatever, he had blue
painter's tape and just had it taped to his house.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Right.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
And again that's only because trying to make his place
like trashy.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
No, he's saying, I like, I can't put up a
political sign, so I'm going to put it on my
garage door.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I can't have I can't, I can't have a partner.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
People don't have a parking spot, so I'm just going
to blaze myself up and down the street, honking the
horn and screaming at people.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Oh I forgot about that part.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Yeah, that's the safe parking spot.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
He has too. He has a garage in a driveway.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, but not everybody's.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
So if you're going to if you're going to take
care of some, you got to take care of all.
Frank that and that's why when Frank writes those letters
to the city, he's doing it for everybody.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Now. So if I if I talk to Frank.
Speaker 9 (20:30):
First run in with Frank, I won't stay running. He
used to walk up and down our streets and take
pictures of people that he thought, you know, was violating something.
This is when I was on the board, So like
twenty nineteen to twenty twenty one, he'd walk up and
down the street and take pictures and then just email
them to it like no address, nothing, and just was
(20:53):
buy it, here's the violation.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Man.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
And then and people had call not on next door
and they're like, Frank quit like walking around taking pictures
of us. It's weird. And that he'd gets so inflammatory
on next door. He got kicked off multiple times he'd
come back on with fake names. His last safe name
was Pete Cromwell. I think he's back now as Frank.
(21:21):
I'm not sure I got off next door.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I mean this name is Dicky wait.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
So exactly so he would he would go off on
next door on everybody.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
Oh yes, yes. And that's some of the stuff I
took to court was printout full screenshots of the way
he would go after people on next door. Like it's
not just in those videos, the so called sizzle reel,
Like he's the same way via email, on next door,
any place you've got a platform, he just goes nuts.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
If Frank were to call me right now, would Frank
tell him me, uh, Ricky Dana, I hate her?
Speaker 9 (22:04):
Oh yes, he hates me.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
What is his job? By the way, is he a lawyer?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
No?
Speaker 9 (22:11):
No, he's he does sails for uh I think it's
software sells for the do od. He's a contractor, gotcha?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Gotcha?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I was gonna say he's not a lawyer, because he
would sit there and go, I know I would know
how to fight this.
Speaker 9 (22:27):
No, I have no idea how he even found a
lawyer that would like put up with his anticks.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
There was another by the way, for I'd represent.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Him, he.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Would.
Speaker 9 (22:41):
I don't know if this other guy was frank sidekick
or if it was the other way around, but we
called him ran and stimpy for a little while, and
then the other guy like this is the light bad?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Right do people like?
Speaker 9 (22:58):
Like?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Is that all anybody in the neighborhood talks about is
Frank Capone?
Speaker 9 (23:04):
Only when something like this comes up, Like, for the
most part, we all hang out, we have neighborhood parties,
you know, our kids all play together, and it's fine.
But there'll be some random thing, either Frank's blown the
stop sign or he yelled at somebody you know that
was walking down the street. And then for a week
or two it's all about Frank Capone and then it
(23:25):
dives down again.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
So you're no longer in litigation with him.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
I am not. The judge ruled in my favor at
the end of it. Oh totally that his that they
in court. He I mean, he just did not look good.
I was super nervous. But according to my fan base
that came with me, they said I looked good. Had
all my information. Frank, on the other hand, he never
(23:56):
sat down. He stood like rocking the whole time and
just sweating profusely, and he had a paper in his hand,
which I'm assuming was one of the cases of you know,
one hundred that he was going to fight, and he'd
read off of that a lot, and the judge would
like have to redirect him to the purpose of why
we're in court. So when I first got the notice
(24:20):
that I was being sued, like, I was so confused
because I'm like, I don't owe this guy money.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
What the heck?
Speaker 9 (24:26):
And some lady from the court called me and she was,
you know, told me what she did for the court
and everything, and she's like, I spoke with mister Capole
and he's willing to settle, you know, like let he
wants to mediate and settle rather than go to court.
And I just bust out laughing, and she goes, is
got a no, And I said, ma'am, I have not
(24:46):
signed any paperwork with him. I don't owe him money.
He's mad at me because I got him kicked off
our hoa board, and then she started laughing. She's like,
You've got to be kidding me, and I'm like no,
And so I told her, you know, the short version,
and she goes Okay, here's what you need to have
prepared for the court. Oh wow, and she actually helped me.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Good. No, that's awesome. That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Well, listen, if Frank calls me, which I don't know
that he will, but if Frank calls me, I'm going
to conference you back in Okay, all right, Ricky, Hey,
I appreciate it. Hold tight one second, all right, hold
on one second.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
