Briarmoon ticketed at foreclosure sale

K. Andreah Briarmoon

— A regular Janesville City Council candidate who has a history of fighting the city over code violations is accused of disrupting the foreclosure sale of her property.

K. Andreah Briarmoon, 57, of 339 S. Locust St., Janesville, was mailed a ticket for obstructing an officer stemming from an incident at the Rock County Courthouse on Wednesday, Rock County sheriff’s officials said.

According to the sheriff’s report:

A sheriff’s deputy was conducting a foreclosure sale when Briarmoon objected to the sale of one of her properties.

The deputy told Briarmoon the sale would continue and asked her to stop interrupting.

Briarmoon continued objecting, and the deputy warned her she would be arrested if her behavior continued.

Briarmoon kept yelling about the sale and sale price.

The deputy then arrested Briarmoon and turned her over to courthouse security until the sale was finished.

After the sale, Briarmoon was released. The ticket was mailed to her after the incident.

Briarmoon has a history of being at the center of property disputes.

Briarmoon fought the city for more than three years when officials ordered her to take down a garage she owned on rental property at 1402 W. Court St.

She eventually lost that case in court, and the city demolished the garage in August 2006.

Briarmoon was arrested for trying to stop the demolition.

Briarmoon fought the city again in 2008 about code violations involving a shed on property she owns at 332 S. Academy St., diagonal to her home on Locust Street.

The shed violated a city code that prohibits an outbuilding on property without a primary dwelling.

The city charged Briarmoon with five counts of violating the city’s zoning ordinance.

A Rock County judge later dismissed the case at the city’s request because the shed was removed.

Yesterday, two council members gave her a verbal beating for her most recent libeling and slandering of city employees.

One of the council members exposed the fact that she stood to profit monetarily from her interest in the Case Feed Store. This profiteering stands in stark contrast to her claims of concern for her community.

truth1, the way a foreclosure works, the bank has a lien against the property which it needs satisfied. That associated debt -- generally the unpaid balance of the mortgage -- is the "value" of the property to the bank (similarly, during a tax sale you can buy a property for just the back taxes), and is usually the opening bid. Since 9 out of 10 foreclosures are "bought back" by the bank, the price announcement is basically routine -- there are no bidders and the sale closes, all in about two minutes. (He has a whole pile of these to go through, at least recently.)
.
It's easy to find out how much the bank is setting as the auction price, too, and a real estate ... professional ... such as Briarmoon ought to have had some inkling of this.
.
It really doesn't matter, though. The firsthand report that I can pass on here is that while her ruckus was nothing like when she actually fought the cops back in the shed dispute, she was still inappropriately interrupting a legal proceeding after she had been given explicit warnings and provoked the sheriff's deputy, and she was even warned to be quiet on the way out lest handcuffs were necessary. The point isn't so much that she caused a ruckus as that she has a habit of making anything involving Andreah ... all about Andreah. It's like when my cat decides it needs attention and knocks something off the table.

It used to be a joke that back in the day when her kids lived at home, and the neighbors would call the cops on KAB that the station would send the newest "rookie" to handle her. All those poor guys. They had no idea what they were in for, I wonder if the Sheriff in this article remembers her when he first started working the "beat". Which Sheriff was this? I want to send him a Thank You package for warning her and then following though and actually putting KAB in a time-out. HAHA Just like a little kid!

In Sound Off in today's print edition, the caller claims B'moon didn't cause a ruckus and that all she was trying to do was correct the officer re: the value of the property.

Well, she gave up all say as to the value of the property (especially officially) when she failed to follow through with her mortgage obligation and when she failed to keep the property in good condition.

And it appears she continued to draw income from the rentals during the period in which she failed to make her mortgage payments.

"I sure hope none of you people slamming Andreah Briarmoon ever lose your job or have a family member hit by a medical catastrophe. Either one could cause you to lose your home. And who would want their home to be sold for $17,000.00 ? That itself is an outrage considering the price of houses these days.

First of all a medical catastrophe is not the reason she lost her home. In fact this property has been on the chopping block for a long time, she was able to squeeze through under the wire with help from Obama and she lied on her forms and then couldn't make the payments. I know many people here worked hard and still lost their home, which is really sad, but it's quite different when you lose your "monopoly properties" and you still have your own home. Bottom line is this woman needs to stop fighting the system and just accept it, because she's forced to either way, only it's more expensive for all of us. Also I must say I hope someone buys the "galleria" and tears it down, and makes a skate park. LOL

gina I asked because last I knew SHOREWEST FIRED her and then she had her "own" home business / realty "group" (i don't think a business of one person counts as a group of people)She also has a list of other businesses on her mailbox, calling herself a poet, muse and a "publisher". I have no idea what she does because I have been avoiding her the best I can for a few years. And yes I do sound BITTER when a adult woman CRIES and whines like a BABY WHILE she exploits every loophole in any system executive or judicial. If you must know she is the grandmother of my children and she is banned from my kids and my home and yes there are plenty of reasons why I don't have time to tell you all of the horrific things she has done but I can safely say she has no idea where I live and if she does show up on my doorstep I will call the police and the sherriff and I will get a restraining order put on her for trespassing. YOUR RIGHT I AM PETTY AND BITTER BECAUSE SHE KEEPS TRYING TO WEASLE HER WAY INTO MY LIFE AND HER OWN SON KNOWS SHE IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED AROUND CHILDREN AND SHE IS NOT A GOOD PERSON AT ALL. SO all you DreahCIPLES can believe she has it so bad and oh poor little dreah when really she's the one exploiting you and trying to build a sad following for her wannabe political organization C.A.R.D..... You may be shocked to learn that her own family has nothing to do with her and I wonder what she does during the day because she certainly isnot making an income and she certainly is not maintaining any of her rental properties (like this one in question) she certainly does not see her family and she certainly has no friends. So I just picture her up in her attic on locust ave, recording her self for her sad quality program.

Zoom, there was no legal hold, although paperwork was delayed on many FHA-backed loans and some major lenders had voluntary moratoriums. I have no way of telling if this loan was covered by either of those. The federal moratorium only lasted about a month last winter.
.
The Obama administration has implemented a foreclosure abatement program, but this applies only to personal residences. Investment property (much as I would personally wish otherwise) is not eligible for a similar rescue. That said, we did bail out the financial industry and they haven't done enough.

MakeItBetter - as sad and humble as a foreclosure can be, it is not your right or constitutional requirement to own a home. Owning a home is a privilage that requires responsibility. Of course, some foreclosures are due to reasons beyond ones simplistic control, but you can't regulate that. Too many people would take advantage of it. If you loose your home, you have to pull up your bootstraps, work harder, and try again when the time is right. Learn from the situation. If 100% of the people were losing homes (that owed), then action would be required. However, only a small portion (relative to current ownership)are losing them, so the majority must be doing something right.

The really important thing is, we should all be showing up on the courthouse steps together protesting all the foreclosure sales and pressing our lawmakers for some fundamental stop-gap changes. Lot's of people are having trouble for reasons not of their doing. Hopefully the economy will improve before too very long, but in the meantime, there should be a moratorium on all foreclosure sales as a matter of principle.

The wealthy and greedy are using this period to become even richer. There will be no middle class lifestyle in the future if we don't stand up for what's right now. Those of you who still have jobs shouldn't be too smug -- the bottom could fall out quickly, and it might be you homes being auctioned next.

In Summary
Building inspectors went to Court Street property because of Fire code violations in regards to renting an upstairs apartment to someone with a child (one exit no fire escape from second floor) Fire inspector noted condition of the garage and made a note that fire fighters should not enter the garage if it catches fire. Now automatic mandatory code inspection is required. Violations issued and orders to correct issued. 6 years later building is still not repaired. city orders it torn down and with the labor to do that I bet that garage cost the city at laest $250,000.00 of those hard earned tax payer dollars. Somehow the city is at fault for violating her rights?
City resident calls in to report a person living in a tent on her vacant lot. During the investigation of that call it is noted a building has been moved onto the lot that has no primary residence. Code violations are issued because City codes do not allow garages, chicken coops or sheds on a lot without a house on it.
There they go picking on her again!
AKB Fails to meet her financial obligations in repaying the note on her bank financed property FOR QUITE SOME TIME and THE BANK forcloses. The property is auctioned off on the steps of the courthouse by a duly appointed officer of the court as has been done since the depression. and somehow the CITY is picking on her again. What did the City have to do with this last situation? NOTHING!
I see many people here who are always harping on the city, City Council, City Manager and everyone else for spending your tax dollars on worthless adventures well I would love to see an itimized bill for how much AKB has cost the citizens of this fair city in her failed attempts to be "treated fairly" or in her case treated like she was one of the good old boys getting FAVORS so she did not need to be treated like every other citizen who lives by the rules. I know she does not agree with the rules and in an attempt to change them she has run for elected office on many occasions and has always met with resounding defeat. KAB is there a possibility the majority of regular people do not agree with your ideas and that why you always go down in flames at every election?
WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES. Then MOVE to MEXICO or some other place where they have no rules to keep slum Lords from keeping unsafe property for people to die in.

Gazettefan, according to the court record, the judge entered a "no deficiency judgement" on 12/2/2008, meaning that the property owner is not on the hook for any difference between the sale price and the mortgage value. But the bank probably set the sale price to cover the total value remaining on the mortgage.
.
In most cases, it isn't worth it to the bank to continue to try to squeeze blood from a stone. One can imagine cases of outright fraud where they might do so, but most people losing their property don't have any money.

This property, along with the other two she currently carries mortgages on, have been on and off the chopping block for the last year and a half. You'd think that if you didn't have enough money to pay your mortgage, you'd follow the laws so you'd quit being slapped with all those fines!

carlito......, how long does it have to go on before you'll admit that it's all true? She's never received approval in any way: running for council, and court cases, and getting the council to side with her. Is the media conspiring against her?

Speaking of approval, carlito......: a year or so ago she publicly tried to recruit a hundred people to cause an incident at a council meeting so that they could be cited and then choose to have a jury trial.

Choosing to have a jury trial was supposed to be for the purpose of clogging-up the county court system, period -what a great cause! If you don't know this about her, why don't you? IT'S A MATTER OF RECORD, ON DVD, HER SHOW.

Guess how many people she recruited. NONE. Unless you were ready to go into action for her but the other 99 didn't show up.

traveler2 and okie, Yea I know about the "trial". I testified in it. They were found innocent by a jury of peers and that has nothing to do with this. Miss Prochaska was not involved in any way, in fact she was angry because it made her name look bad and ruined her "reputation" (as if she needed help). She was a selfish miser then and she still is now. Traveler2 please do not email me if you want to talk to me do it in the posts.

On the shack property, her tenants called the city with complaints about the house. When the city went to the site it also noticed the unsafe condition of the shack. At that point the city became potentially libel for any harm that could come from the shack. That's why the city had to take action. The city bent over backwards trying to help her with the situation. She fought them every step of the way.

Just before the matter was put to the city council (she wanted the council to overturn all the court rulings against her re: the shack) she told Councilman Greg Addie that she didn't care what the council's decision was because either way it would work for her. PUBLICITY!!!

JCK the property is where her carriage barn was on W Court.

I do know her, her trouble with the city is her own fault. I personally heard her tell her tale of woe at least 6 years ago about how she had hired someone to re roof her precious carriage barn. After the roofer had removed the shingles he found some of the wood had rotted and he now was going to charge her more than the original quote. She insisted that he honor the quote and when he wouldn’t she had a blue tarp placed over the roof.

Someone then complains about the tarp after a few years and the city gets involved and she starts crying foul. If she would have just repaired the roof in the beginning, the city would never been involved.

carlitosway, where do I begin? First of all, she is not "fighting for what is "rightfully" hers. If the property is in foreclosure, then it is no longer in her control; it is the banks property to seel so pay off the debt.

Secondly, you stated that the city is behind this and you are again wrong on this account as well. The city does NOT have a vendetta against her.

This was a bank foreclosure (2008CV001145), not a city auction. It has nothing to do with the city government (and the auction is by the *county* sheriff regardless). The sale price is set by the deficiency on the mortgage. In 95% of sales, the bank is just buying it back, and if it sells for more at the sale or later, the bank takes the profit.
.
The "good" news for anyone in this situation is that the sale most likely satisfies the mortgage.
.
Additionally, this was a rental property, not her homestead. There are fewer protections for investment property.

Great post, rexkramer.

wesgosin, there was no sympathy for her and her shack because she didn't deserve any.

The photo is antebellum, one of the original daguerreotypes.

She was a real estate agent during one of the greatest real estate and economic upturns in the history of humanity. She should be rich. The state of the economy currently should not be a problem for her. She is in trouble because she has no skills of any kind -other than living off the largess of a democratic society.

And those of you who support her here, her phone number is in the phone book. Contact her and tell her you want to actively support her, then you'll discover why after all this time and exposure on the radio, TV, and in the papers she has no real following.

She slanders and libels people with impunity because civil suits are a horrible experience for everyone, even a victorious aggrieved party. And she has nothing to give up as the loser in a law suit except for a few slum properties (one less now). She has no skills. Did I mention she has no skills?

She's a parasite and her host is the taxpayers.

There was a time when people had some sympathy, back during the carriage barn saga. But now it's a stale old story.

"Andrea apparently didn't feel it was a fare price for her property and it is not fair to sell hers for any less value then they would their own. It is time for people to stand up for their rughts and it is a shame when someone does they are ridiculed in here a charged by police. Freedom of speech and the right to voice freely is no longer our right and Janesville is about one of the worst cities IMO to try and stand up to as they will do what ever it takes to do what they want whether it right or wrong they have the power as the counsel IMO are one sided and could care less about the very people they are elected by to resolve issues and listen to opinions and other options."

Where do I begin...

1) If you don't want the city to decide what price your property sells for, you should perhaps maintain it and even pay taxes and bank payments on it.

2) You do have a right to freedom of speech, however you do not have a right to say whatever you want, whenever you want without consequences. Someone as adept at being a public pain in the rear end as K.A.B. should certainly understand that by now.

3) I'd like to know what other "options, options, options" the city has when dealing with an moonbat wingnut like K.A.B.? I don't know about the rest of you but I don't make my election choices based on who will cater to this kind of loon...then again, we have a President who wants to engage in discussion with the likes of Hugo Chavez and Ahmajinedad, so what do I know.

Briarmoon is not a bad person and I do know her personally and the vandetta this city has is they don't like when people fight back and defend what is rightfully theirs!!!!! Now if the city auctions property and the price don't meet the price they want then the sale don't go thru. Andrea apparently didn't feel it was a fare price for her property and it is not fair to sell hers for any less value then they would their own. It is time for people to stand up for their rughts and it is a shame when someone does they are ridiculed in here a charged by police.

And by the way the carriage barn was not an eyesore after it was brought up to standard but the counsel had an issue with her and destroyed it anyway!!!!!!IMO to prove a point that they could

Anyone who backs Briarmoon doesn't know her well at all. She is a vindictive manipulative woman who enjoys the spotlight. And over the years she has also demonstrated a monstrous persecution complex. The city has gone way overboard trying to reason with her on so many issues, but she keeps intentionally ignoring each and every request and order to do things right. She has absolutely no respect for any rule that she did not make, including court orders. Yes, foreclosure is hard, but having watched past Briarmoon shenanigans very closely I have no doubt that she was given every possible chance to avoid it, but she chose to avoid it just for the fun of yanking the public chain.

I am no fan of BM, but losing property at a sheriffs sale in public on the courthouse steps is a very emotional moment, one I hope no one has to endure. Unfortunately for many reasons, a lot of Rock County residents are facing this sad day. It sounds like the deputies gave a lot of "Space" to BM to try an avoid making the situation any more difficult. I'm sorry for BM and those others, but Hats off to those who showed some compassion.
