Seaview: receivership sale and tenant settlement

Overview

A signed December 3 order approved the receiver’s sale. Tenant agreements, the separate $500,000 buyer-deposit settlement and later receiver filings create distinct trails for approved terms, funds received and tenant distributions.

Background & source notes

Follow the signed sale order, tenant trust and assignment provisions, the former buyer’s deposit agreement and the state and bankruptcy dockets. Track court approval and escrow transfers separately from the deficiency claim, City lien objections and actual distributions. The receiver’s final report and accounting filed in March are the best next sources for a transaction-by-transaction reconciliation.

Source notes and limitations

The December 8 signed deposit agreement was conditional on court approval. The appendix available for review contains an unsigned approval order. Docket-index captures establish filing entries and leave the underlying accounting and March 17 order to be obtained. An assigned deficiency claim and an assessor sale entry have different evidentiary meaning from money collected or distributed.

Reviewed finding

The approval order and final accounting are separate milestones

November 12, 2026

The signed December 3 order approves the sale and references tenant agreements. The deposit agreement describes a separate conditional split of $500,000. The state filing index lists March 5 receiver accounting materials and a March 17 order. Their text, the escrow records and distributions are necessary to reconcile actual outcomes.

Timeline 18

Dates follow the cited records; document dates are labeled separately.

  1. February–March 2023, as reported April 11

    Lifting condemnation did not establish that rental units passed inspection

    The briefing reports that the court lifted condemnation February 21 after elevator and boiler repairs, and that none of seventeen units passed a later rental inspection. The minutes date that inspection March 23; the attached slide says March 22. Roach said the owners had not registered for the rental-inspection program and that earlier inspection could have addressed some concerns. This is an attributed account, not a finding that an inspection omission caused the utility debt or that no other building/fire inspections occurred.

  2. February 11, 2025

    Receiver appointment reserves the City’s water-bill litigation

    The signed state order appoints StreamCo Property Resolutions LLC for the property and excludes pending City water-bill actions and appeals from the receiver’s litigation authority in paragraph 3(j). Paragraphs 3(n) and 3(q) address future utilities and conditional payment of earlier expenses; they do not establish that the City was paid. The order requires monthly reports and a final accounting, identifying further records to seek.

  3. October 27, 2025 testimony, filed January 5, 2026

    Owner’s deposition describes limited company assets and personal payments

    In the attached excerpts, Weinstein testified that he was Seaview’s sole member, had personally guaranteed the lender’s loan and assumed the property had no equity at its then-current value. He also said he personally paid legal fees and an estimated $600,000–$700,000 in mortgage payments. These are his statements, not a reconciled asset valuation or verified bank transactions. The lender guarantee does not establish a guarantee of the City’s utility debt, and the testimony does not show City payment.

  4. December 3, 2025

    Signed state order approves sale and references tenant agreements

    The state order approves the receiver’s sale to 28th St LLC, successor to LBD Holdings LLC, under an August 8 purchase agreement. Paragraph S references a Settlement Agreement and Note Sale and Assignment Agreement with former tenants. At the hearing, lender’s counsel described a deficiency of roughly $5 million and cautioned that this did not mean a $5 million check from the guarantor. The receiver and lender later described a post-sale transfer of the note/deficiency claim to a tenant trust. The executed tenant documents and actual collections or distributions remain unreviewed.

  5. December 3, 2025

    City objects that sale order provides no means to compensate its judgment liens

    The hearing transcript records Bates’s objection that the order did not provide money to compensate the City’s judgment liens; she repeated the objection when asked whether the City had evidence. Her handwritten objection is also on the signed order. The proceeds provision prioritizes customary closing costs, past-due real estate taxes and specified settlement items, with remaining proceeds to FourLeaf. Exhibit B lists the City judgment and later suit alongside separate HRSD and tax items. These sources establish the objection and approved framework, not actual distributions, a final utility loss or release of all claims against Seaview.

  6. December 3, 2025

    Tenant-property disposal and settlement amendments require the full agreements

    The order authorizes removal and disposal of remaining former-tenant belongings without purchaser liability and preserves specified tenant remedies against Seaview, Weinstein and BlueRise, rather than the purchaser or property. A handwritten insertion qualifies paragraph G by reference to the tenant settlement documents; a paragraph S amendment says the order controls a conflict with those documents. These provisions must be read together. They do not show what access, compensation or payment occurred; the executed agreements and implementation records remain needed.

  7. December 8, 2025

    Signed buyer-deposit settlement specifies a conditional $500,000 split

    The Cyclone agreement allocates $375,000 to the receiver, $124,500 to Cyclone and $500 to the escrow agent. Its obligations and releases require Circuit Court approval. Signed counterparts and the lender joinder are included; the appended approval order is unsigned. The receiver later described settlement as avoiding litigation cost, delay and risk. These are agreed terms and an attributed explanation, not proof of approval or payment to the City.

  8. December 15, 2025

    Corporate bankruptcy petition identifies the related property

    An ECF-stamped petition for Seaview Apartments LLC identifies the principal asset as 2 28th Street, also described as 90 28th Street, and selects Chapter 11 and Single Asset Real Estate. Its financial ranges and expected distribution are debtor estimates, not findings. The attached corporate consent is dated December 12. This property connection does not itself match the precise utility account or establish City recovery.

  9. December 16, 2025 scheduled hearing, described January 5

    Counsel reports a planned Qualified Settlement Fund hearing

    The December 3 transcript discusses a separate December 16 fund hearing, and Bennett’s January 5 declaration describes the planned approval. The state filing list later shows January 20 entries for a Qualified Settlement Fund trust and tenant fund/relief. The underlying January orders, executed tenant agreements and funding/distribution records have not been reviewed. The index improves the chronology but does not establish a cash-funded balance or payment.

  10. December 22, 2025

    Receiver and lender describe tenant collection rights and the deposit dispute

    Denton’s declaration describes FourLeaf funding receivership costs and a proposed post-sale transfer of the note and deficiency claim to a tenant trust. FourLeaf’s memorandum gives the same mechanism. Denton separately says Cyclone’s deposit was held by a third-party escrow agent and defends settling that dispute. These are party submissions, not a verified final accounting, cash-funded tenant recovery or independent determination of disputed marketing allegations.

  11. January 5, 2026

    Tenant filing supports stay relief; descriptions of sale support need context

    The tenant claimants supported stay relief. Their counsel’s declaration broadly describes all parties, including the City, as supporting the December 3 sale and says the debtor did not object. The hearing transcript and signed order document City and debtor objections. The transcript specifically records Bates’s compensation concern and a later renewed objection. The declaration’s characterization should be read with those primary records; it is not evidence that the City consented without qualification.

  12. January 7, 2026

    Bankruptcy court dismisses the company’s case for lack of good faith

    Judge Mark E. Hall granted FourLeaf’s dismissal motion and found the company’s filing lacked good faith. The court described it as a litigation tactic to delay the state-approved sale and potentially protect sole owner Benjamin Weinstein from personal liability. The court also relied on continuing estate loss without a reasonable likelihood of rehabilitation and gross mismanagement, and noted the absence of evidence of cash flow or income supporting rehabilitation. FourLeaf’s separate adequate-protection motion was denied as moot. These findings concern the bankruptcy filing, not the City’s utility-claim selection.

  13. January 20, 2026, filing-index entries

    State index lists fund and settlement orders

    The supplied state-court filing-list screenshots show orders described as QUALIFIED SETLMNT FUNDTRUST, NN TENANT FUND & RELIEF and GRANTING MOT APPV SETLMNT. The text of each order has not been reviewed, so the generic settlement entry is not conclusively matched to a particular agreement. The listing establishes filed-order entries, not the approved terms, cash deposits or distributions.

  14. January 23, 2026 assessor-recorded sale date

    Assessment table lists a later property sale

    The City assessment table lists 28TH ST LLC as buyer, $9,050,000 and instrument 260001101 for parcel 310040124. This is the assessor-recorded sale date, not an independently verified deed-execution or recording date. The table does not establish seller identity, judicial-sale status, net proceeds, creditor distributions or payment of the City’s utility debt.

  15. February 18, 2026, public docket-mirror entry

    Public docket mirror records administrative closure

    The public case summary lists termination and a Bankruptcy Case Closed entry on this date. Administrative closure is distinct from the earlier dismissal and does not establish City payment or resolution of the separate Virginia utility appeal.

  16. March 5, 2026, filing-index entries

    Receiver files final report and accounting materials

    The filing list shows RECEIVERS FINAL TO COURT, a motion to approve final accounting, and an exhibit described as 1-FINAL ACCTNG STREAMCO LL, with additional exhibits and a hearing notice. The actual report, ledger, motion and exhibits remain unreviewed. These are now specific source locators for determining where sale and deposit proceeds went.

  17. March 17, 2026, filing-index entry

    Later order is listed without descriptive remarks

    An Order appears in the state filing list after the March 5 final-accounting filings. Its remarks field is blank. The entry alone does not establish approval of the accounting, discharge of the receiver, creditor payments or satisfaction of City judgments.

  18. June 9, 2026

    Council mentions a letter and new ownership

    Jones referenced a City Attorney letter about Seaview and plans to meet new ownership. The letter was not obtained, and the minutes do not establish that it concerns the utility litigation or proves a settlement or payment.

    Why this record matters

    Signed December 3 state order retained in ECF 18-11. PDF pages 6–9 provide sale/proceeds/tenant-property terms and material handwritten amendments.
