Appendix / public record deep dive

What public sources add beyond the first brief

A stricter public-record appendix for 2195 Drydock: tax posture, transfer chain, official zoning support, and the limits of what public flood, environmental, and access sources actually prove.

What public data clearly gave us

Big upgrades from this pass

  • Tax posture is more serious than “just check taxes.” Public county tax pages show a substantial balance due and a foreclosure flag.
  • Transfer chain is clearer. We now have a visible 2018 → 2023 deed chain and a 2023 no-consideration follow-on transfer into HCP Holdings LLC.
  • Zoning story is strong publicly. Official Cleveland Planning layers support UI-A3 / Unrestricted Industry.
  • Public flood/environmental limits are also clearer. We can now say exactly what we could not verify rather than vaguely calling those areas “soft.”

What public data still cannot settle

Important limits

  • Title exceptions, easements, and encumbrances
  • Parcel-specific FEMA flood determination
  • Parcel-specific Ohio EPA environmental history
  • Utility capacity and service readiness
  • Occupancy / rent roll / building-condition reality
  • Marine-structure condition and water-access usability

1 · Tax posture

Most material new public-record finding

Confirmed

County public tax pages for Tax Year 2025 / Pay 2026 show Balance Due = $227,320.34 and Foreclosure = Y. The page also warns that additional foreclosure costs may be due.

What that includes

The visible balance includes prior-year tax, penalties, and interest, with delinquent components shown for 2022, 2023, and 2024, plus current 2025 half-year charges.

Why it matters

This is no longer a generic “check taxes” item. Publicly visible delinquency and foreclosure status make tax posture a real underwriting issue right now.

2 · Transfer chain

Public deed chain is now tighter

  • 08/01/2023: HCP HOLDINGS LLC takes by Deed from LOGISTICS TECHNOLOGIES LLC at $0.00.
  • 01/30/2023: LOGISTICS TECHNOLOGIES LLC takes by Deed from DRY DOCK PROPERTIES LLC at $1,630,000.00.
  • 06/25/2018: D R S ENTERPRISES INC takes by Deed from SAMSEL REALTY CO.
  • 07/26/2018: D R S ENTERPRISES INC to DRY DOCK PROPERTIES LLC appears in the recorder index as DEED - QUIT CLAIM.
  • 04/04/1991: SAMSEL REALTY CO takes from FELDMAN BROS CO (book/page shown in the recorder index).

Useful implication: the August 2023 transfer into HCP still reads publicly more like a no-consideration restructuring or affiliate move than a new cash acquisition.

3 · Recorded-doc layer

We now have pulled document-summary pages, not just index hits

  • Mortgage chain is now confirmed at page level, not just summary level. The 6-page filing 201909120127 is visibly titled Modification to Open-End Mortgage. It names PNC Bank, National Association and Dry Dock Properties, LLC, ties back to original mortgage 201807260600, references a broader forbearance agreement, and visibly modifies the mortgage maximum obligations to not exceed $9,000,000.00.
  • The mortgage’s legal description materially strengthens the waterfront read. The exhibit pages visibly identify parcel 004-30-013, assessed address 2195 Drydock Street, Cleveland, OH 44113, and describe two parcel components tied to Original Brooklyn Township Lot 87, including calls to the westerly dock line of the Cuyahoga River.
  • Release/Satisfaction is confirmed at document-summary level. 201910040605 is a 3-page PNC BANK → DRY DOCK PROPERTIES LLC filing with marginal references back to 201807260600 and 201909120127.
  • The lis pendens now has visible case-level substance. 202405150554 is not just an index hit; page-level review shows a Notice of Lis Pendens tied to David J. Sherriff v. Harden Cement Corp., LLC, Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Case No. CV-24-992596, expressly referencing 2195 Drydock Street / PPN 004-30-013.
  • The lis pendens pages also state the theory behind the notice. Visible text alleges that Jeramy Ennis and Kay Ennis, as owners of HCP Holdings, LLC, fraudulently transferred loan proceeds received from the plaintiff into HCP Holdings as part of HCP Holdings’ acquisition of the property. The filing also says the doctrine of lis pendens applies to the property while the lawsuit is pending.
  • The March 2025 affidavit is more consequential than its title suggests. 202503190271 is a 21-page affidavit by plaintiff’s counsel in David J. Sherriff v. Jeramy Ennis, et al., Case No. CV-25-109847, filed under Ohio Revised Code §5301.252 to put HCP Holdings, LLC on notice of a filed Motion for Charging Order that may encumber the real estate at 2195 Drydock St., parcel 004-30-013.
  • That charging-order packet states a money-judgment path against LLC interests. Visible pages cite Ohio Revised Code §1706.342, state a judgment of $171,204.00 and a stated balance of $179,649.57 plus 20% per annum interest as of March 19, 2025, and seek a charging order against the membership interests of Jeramy Ennis, Kay Ennis, and Gurmeet Gill in HCP Holdings, LLC.
  • The charging-order motion also names the proof chain it relies on. Visible text says exhibits include Ohio Secretary of State information showing Jeramy Ennis as managing member of HCP Holdings, LLC, a General Warranty Deed showing HCP Holdings as titled owner of 2195 Drydock, and a Mortgage indicating Jeramy Ennis, Kay Ennis, and Gurmeet Gill are members of HCP Holdings.
  • Release Assignment is confirmed at document-summary level. 202503240040 is a 1-page filing showing grantors ECHO HEALTH RE INV LLC and LOGISTICS TECHNOLOGIES LLC, grantee COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL SERVICES LLC, with a marginal reference to 202301300447.
  • Deed + POA sidecar filings are confirmed at document-summary level. 202301300447 is a 7-page deed from LOGISTICS TECHNOLOGIES LLC to ECHO HEALTH RE INV LLC. 202301300448 is a 3-page power of attorney from LOGISTICS TECHNOLOGIES LLC naming FIXLER MICHAEL AGENT and ECHO HEALTH RE INV LLC on the grantee side of the index/summary.

Important caution: this is stronger than index-only or summary-only review because some filings were pulled through to actual page images and OCR. But it still does not establish the full legal text or complete operative effect of every filing until the underlying pages are fully reviewed end to end.

4 · Owner/admin clues

Useful public contact-level detail

  • Current owner shown: HCP HOLDINGS LLC
  • Mailing address shown on tax page: P.O. Box 132, Novelty, OH 44072
  • County property type cues: class C, land use 4800 - 1-UNIT WHSE <75000SF, total buildings 4

5 · What this recorder pass changes

More burden/history signal than we had before

  • We can now say the parcel has a publicly visible mortgage / release / lis pendens / affidavit / assignment / power-of-attorney trail, with several key filings pulled through to page-image OCR rather than just search-result rows.
  • That is materially stronger than simply knowing deed transfers.
  • It still does not give clean title comfort, because easements, exact lien substance, and full document text still need page-level review.

6 · Court docket layer

The litigation story is now bifurcated, not generic

  • Case 1: CV-24-992596David J. Sherriff vs. Harden Cement Corp. LLC, et al. The clerk summary shows it as a Commercial Docket case filed 02/09/2024, assigned to Judge John J. Russo.
  • Case 1 docket matters: the docket shows the amended complaint being filed on 05/13/2024, service efforts to HCP HOLDINGS, LLC at 2195 Drydock Avenue, and a 05/16/2024 entry noting that service on HCP had not yet been perfected.
  • Case 1 endpoint: the docket shows that on 09/19/2024, pursuant to plaintiff’s 09/18/2024 notice of dismissal with prejudice, the case was dismissed with prejudice and marked final.
  • Case 2: CV-25-109847David J. Sherriff vs. Jeramy Ennis, et al. The clerk summary shows it as a Cognovit case filed 01/08/2025, assigned to Judge Timothy McCormick.
  • Case 2 judgment path: the docket shows a 01/08/2025 entry for judgment for plaintiff by confession in the sum of $171,204.00 plus costs and 20% interest, followed by a 01/09/2025 judgment-lien entry under JL25267050.
  • Case 2 collection path: the docket shows the 03/19/2025 motion for charging order; a 05/23/2025 entry setting a 06/10/2025 9:00 AM conference-call hearing on the charging-order motions filed 03/19/2025, 03/20/2025, and 04/07/2025; and a 06/10/2025 journal entry stating that a hearing was held on motion for charging orders, all parties were present, and plaintiff was to submit entries.
  • Post-hearing follow-on visible on the docket: on 06/12/2025, the docket shows four separate “Judgment Entry. O.S.J.” entries taken by Judge Brendan J. Sheehan, and also opens garnishment case number GR25-028588 (Jeramy Ennis).
  • What those 06/12/2025 orders actually did: the pulled image-PDFs show charging orders against membership interests in USA Real Estate Delp Group, Co., LLC, Novelty Homes, LLC, HCP Holdings, LLC, and Oak Tree Consulting Co., LLC. The HCP Holdings, LLC order is the most directly relevant one for 2195 Drydock because it restrains distributions tied to that entity and charges those membership interests with the plaintiff’s judgment balance.
  • Related garnishment thread: GR-25-028588 is a separate Garnishment - Personal Earnings case filed 06/12/2025, styled David J. Sherriff vs. Jeramy Ennis. Its parties page identifies Summit Concrete Supply as garnishee, and its docket shows a 07/01/2025 filing of an Affidavit, Order and Notice of Garnishment of Personal Earnings, followed by a 07/17/2025 answer stating the debtor is not an employee.
  • Case 3: CV-25-121286Comprehensive Financial Services LLC vs. Logistics Technologies LLC, et al. A civil-name search on HCP Holdings LLC surfaced this case. The clerk summary shows it as Commercial Docket w Foreclosure, filed 07/22/2025, assigned to Judge John J. Russo.
  • Case 3 parties and property tie: the parties page lists HCP Holdings LLC as a defendant, and the docket shows complaint-service attempts to HCP HOLDINGS LLC at 2195 Drydock Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44113.
  • Case 3 foreclosure proof: the pulled decree PDF shows an Agreed Judgement Entry, Consent to Judgment, and Decree of Foreclosure covering premises commonly known as 2195 Drydock Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44113, permanent parcel 004-30-013. The decree states that Logistics Technologies, LLC, Harden Cement Corp., LLC, HCP Holdings LLC, 33 Industry LLC, Jeramy Ennis, Kay Ennis, Gurmeet Gill, and Udham Gill consented to judgment and decree of foreclosure.
  • Case 3 decree economics: the decree shows judgment components including $1,000,000.00 on a first claim with interest at $416.67/day from 01/31/2024, $1,000,000.00 on a second claim with interest at $416.67/day from 05/31/2024, and $722,000.00 on a third claim with interest at $678.89/day from 09/01/2024, plus taxes, advances, costs, and other recoverable amounts.

7 · What the docket layer clarifies

Important distinction for the Drydock read

  • The earlier 2024 commercial/fraud-style case touching the property was not left hanging indefinitely; the public docket shows it ended in a dismissal with prejudice.
  • The later 2025 Sherriff case is a different posture: a cognovit judgment / judgment lien / garnishment / charging-order collection track against people tied to the ownership structure.
  • The additional 2025 case from Comprehensive Financial Services LLC is a separate and even more direct property-level risk: a Commercial Docket w Foreclosure case that reached an agreed decree of foreclosure on 2195 Drydock / parcel 004-30-013.
  • That means the current public risk signal is now two-layered: post-judgment creditor enforcement touching the HCP ownership network and a later foreclosure decree tied directly to the subject parcel.
  • Important process note: the clerk’s parcel-based Foreclosure Search still returned “No foreclosures found” for parcel 00430013, including checks under Tax Foreclosure (1465), Tax Certificate Foreclosure (1466), and Board of Revision Tax Foreclosure (1467). But a separate civil-name search on HCP Holdings LLC did surface CV-25-121286, so the parcel-foreclosure search should be treated as incomplete, not dispositive.

8 · Zoning

Best public entitlement support

  • Confirmed from official Cleveland Planning layers: UI-A3, ZONE_USE = Unrestricted Industry, ZONE_HGT = 3.
  • Confirmed from Cleveland Planning’s framework: use district and area/height components work together, so UI-A3 should be read as an industrial entitlement with separate area/height controls.
  • Also helpful: the county property page independently displays the site as UNRESTRICTED IND, which aligns with the city-side zoning result.

9 · What public zoning still does not settle

Confirmed enough for direction, not enough for legal closure

  • Full permitted-use matrix for a specific proposed use
  • Dimensional and parking/loading compliance for current conditions
  • Any parcel-specific variance, BZA action, or covenant history
  • Any non-zoning regulatory trigger outside the public planning layers we checked

10 · Flood and environmental

Public-source limits now stated clearly

  • Confirmed: parcel match and county GIS geometry are solid.
  • Not confirmed: parcel-specific FEMA flood-zone status from retrievable FEMA endpoints in this session.
  • Not confirmed: parcel-specific Ohio EPA environmental-regulatory listing from retrievable public results in this session.
  • Meaning: public absence here is not evidence of absence. These remain unresolved rather than clean.

11 · Access / circulation / marine

Still very constrained publicly

  • Confirmed: county GIS has parcel and road-network context layers.
  • Not confirmed: curb cuts, gate positions, trailer turning, dock count, bulkhead condition, or on-parcel marine improvements from this public pass.
  • Meaning: those should not be narrated as facts until image-level or engineering evidence exists.

Public-only decision read

What I would actually take away from this pass

Stronger than before

The site is now publicly grounded as a real unrestricted-industry parcel with a visible transfer chain, concrete county tax posture, and a recorder burden/history layer that has been pulled through to document-summary level.

Most important red/yellow signal

The risk is now stronger than a generic tax flag: public court records show both a post-judgment creditor-enforcement track touching HCP Holdings and a later agreed decree of foreclosure tied directly to 2195 Drydock / parcel 004-30-013.

Still off-limits for overclaiming

Flood zone, environmental status, utility readiness, truck functionality, marine usability, and the exact substance of the recorded filings still cannot be stated as resolved from this evidence set.

Best next public checks

If staying public-only a little longer

  1. Pull the complaint / preliminary judicial report from CV-25-121286 cleanly and map which recorded notes/mortgages feed each of the decree’s three money components.
  2. Check whether an order of sale, sheriff-sale step, cancellation, redemption, or post-decree settlement event was later entered in CV-25-121286.
  3. Pull actual tax bills and prior bill screenshots/PDFs if accessible.
  4. Use parcel geometry with a map/image workflow to verify curb cuts, yard geometry, and any visible dock/water-edge configuration.
  5. Retry FEMA and Ohio EPA lookups outside the endpoint failures encountered here.
