I once hear him brag about calling up a local downtown landlord (owns about 30 properties), an yelling at him on the phone, then hanging up, not giving his name. I thought how childish, and what for? I almost didn't believe him.

Later a was speaking with the landlord, and mentioned Dan
Wreiden. The landlord told me of the call, and was sure it was Dan. It was quite obsence and angry. Comfirmation.
Why does he do these things? What is wrong with him?

He must enjoy the attention, because he does just do many things for negtive attention. Maybe he thinks some of the things he does are "boyish" pranks. But he is far beyond being a boy.

I heard a story from an N.I.D. worker that Wreiden left on his own. The story goes he simply refused to go to work, after reciving news that he would be working with Wayne Anderson. Wrieden had much to say about people in Anderson's life, and, ofcourse, all over town. Is this reason he would not come to work? That was the story at N.I.D.Quote:

It seems the groundswell against Dan is gaining momentum. Do you think he'll move onto "greener pastures" on his own, or remain indignant and stay in a position where he's not wanted (and despised by some)?

What we think of Dan does not concern him. He has much pride and will only get worse.

What do we need, a petition of some sort ? Adressed to whom? The Mayor?

I want to say the notes here, are the "Disney version" , of what I hear about this Dan Wreiden. The time has come to take some kind of action, and be rid of him. Let him "spread his joy elsewhere". Why were we, homeowner, so blessed with to begin with.

Okay, now this was the major issue of the thread I started entitled "Historic Preservation Office." Dan wants people "ticketed?"

I really can't believe that he or his office can ticket anyone. Hate to beat a term to death, but with them it's like "double secret probation" with a red mark in your file. I don't think they can legally impose fines, and they can't sick the building department on you unless it's a zoning/code violation or safety issue. We've all heard the urban legends about police being dispatched to stop unauthorized jobs in progress. These uniformed knuckleheads can't even get off their asses and be proactive about gang activity ---- you really think their going to drop everything and come out for "unauthorized wrought iron installation?" Anyway, let's not have the thread stray to policing.

What is the Historic Preservation Office's authority to actually impose sanctions, levy fines, etc?

I have heard there is a list Dan keeps, a "hit list" of people he wants ticketed. I wonder if I am on it? I met a gentleman, dog walking in the park, who says there was such a list, a few years ago. He knew, because a co-worker in Dan's office told him that he was on it.

The gentleman from the park laughed because he thinks Dan is an "idiot" and as he said "not worth the dirt under my feet".

Why oh why, is this Dan employed in any position of power?

I know100% what this is about, trust me, and others are trying to shake down credability of legitimate complaints using gay bashing. So you have made an excellent point about this and started an excellent thread. It's a good question, how do we get rid of him?

I see on this site that Dan worked at Davison whatever, his friend's business, but doubt he really ever did, or that he could produce records to prove it. Lying on the resume Dan? What does that lead me to think...Quote:

The Wayne Street Group ?

Wasn't that the by-invitaion-only membership group, that had private meetings. The rest of Wayne street was not allowed to attend. One had to be selected for memberhip "tapped" so to speak.

Many people excluded were Black and Latino.

It makes one wonder about the motives and discussions of such a private group.

And
for the record their house on Wayne street is a perfect example of what a brownstone row house would have looked like in the late 19th Century, raised planter and miniature hedges and all. We may not like the way it looks but it is one of the more authentic houses in the neighborhood. We should all look carefully at the detail and follow this example of good taste.


Well known ? What lawyer isn't in the Martindale Hubble?

I would like to inform, Joyce, and anyone else that doesn't have all the facts, that the complaints about Dan Wrieden are not ridiculous or have anything to do with his being gay. Those people that came forward by writing letters and who spoke at the Oct. 6th HPNA meeting were real people with real complaints. I was one of them.

Although this site can be a useful tool at times, it also brings out the worst side of human nature. It's sad that the real issue involving Dan is being spun into something it was never intended to be... a gay issue.

Another poster had remarked that the complainers were whining because they didn't get their way. That is partially correct. We never received the historical color paint chart to choose from. I never got one. I understand that has changed and people are now receiving them. And this is positive.

I believe Dan Wrieden has said some things he is now regretting.

Architect's are like people, they are not "God" Some are good architects and some are terribly bad architects. I think that all we have to do is look around our environment to understand that.
So to simply say that any architect has credibility, without mentioning the person's name is just not true. There are many practicing architects in and around Jersey City...there are only three, that I can think of, that are truly talented designers, construction experts and are as well versed in 19th C design and building practices, or for that matter modern design and building practices.
To have an architect stand up and make comments in a public forum, doesn't necessary mean that the comments or observations are correct. Some doctors kill patients, some architects destroy otherwise well designed buildings.
Will the registered architect (I am assuming that they were registered) come forward, so we know whether or not they are accomplished and talented.


There are degrees offered in Architectural History. I know of 2 people on Wayne Street that have them. Why did not the city hire someone with such a background.

What is the matter with you people.
Maybe you should examine the center of this whirl wind, Warren Curtin. Warren is a neurotic that has undergone therapy for many years and is taking drugs to calm his nerves and hyper active behavior. Warren is hated in the real estate industry for his mean and nasty behavior and many will not even do business with him. Why people are following this contorted individual much less believing what he says is a mystery. Why don't you put the hate, where the hate belongs on Warren Curtin.


You shuld really ask some of the nieghbors what they think, on Wayne as well as Mercer Street. The neighbors make Dan out to be meaner than fresh catshit.

I guess you are one of those people wh don't know that
when you are not your lover's legal next of kin, his paretns are. They can keep you out of a hospital room if he becomes ill, even if you are the main caretaker. Should you partner die, unless he has a will that says otherwise, the house and all goes to the family.

This is why we need laws to protect us, we live in such fragile situations.

That is correct......although he apparently lives with his sugar daddy partner (who is about ten years older than he from what I understand from a good source).........and have you seen what's in the front of their house? Some hideous staute/sculpture/kinda-fountain thing surrounded by flowers and foliage.

Let one of us come into the Historical Preservation Office asking for that for our property (yes Dan, a property we actually own in our own name), and I'm sure we'd be jumping hurdles like you've never seen!



I believe Dan is in his early 40s, although may claim younger.

The house looks like a funeral home.

He hates everyone who is not white and gay.

I am amazed he has a job dealing with the pubic.


You forgot to mention cats too. I once saw his face distort with sort of an angry yet manicle glee, as he threw a rock at a neighbors cat. It hit the cat hard. I still can't get over it.
Dan didn't like where it was, as he explained. Children who torture pets often become serial killers. What does Dan become?

People wrote letters outlining their experience in dealing with D. Wrieden. The letters were signed by the people that wrote them. They were not offensive and said nothing about D. Wrieden being gay. The letters were compiled and distributed by W. Curtin at a community meeting. Some of the writers even spoke at this meeting.

I think one of the peple mentioned in that article was Charles Balcer, but I'm not sure of the exact story. The presice details elude me. Perhaps, if so desired, you could delve into the archives of the Jersey Journal, and retrieve the charming little article. I may amuse us all.

Hi All,
My name is Jonathan Worth. I'm a gay man. Quit the gay stuff. It's offensive and has nothing to do with the matter. Anybody who confuses that with the cause and purpose of the issue at hand isn't credible....any comment on this thread regarding who owns the property where Dan lives has nothing to do with this. Anything regarding Dan's sexuality has nothing to do with this. PERIOD.

My primary residence is in the Van Vorst area and additionaly, I have several investment properties here in same historic district. Although I have no formal training in historic restoration, I wish to see all done as correctly as possible with "modern" considerations put into the picture. With that in mind , I want to it see it develop in a historically correct manner.

For the mostpart, the group that has posted here has done so anonymously. Shame Shame Shame on you. Why don't you show who you are???? In my opinion, if you're afraid to say your name you're a coward and quite worthless as a contributor to this forum or getting things resovlved here or anywhere else. Quite candidly, get lost. GOOD GOD!!!! WHERE ARE YOU COMING FROM?
The guidelines that Dan follows have been in place for a long time. The documents I have in my hands are the same as those published years ago. I've compared the guideline documents from 4 years ago to today's documents....they're the same. Although I don't agree with some of the guidelines, Dan's job, by decree has to follow them. He takes his job seriously. He is a very serious man by nature. He goes right by the book. I'd be lying to you to say this doesn't frustrate me sometimes but i I do understand that he has to abide by his charter. Let's not kill the messenger. Hey all: let's handle this in a constructive manner in a public forum that's mediated by someone who understands all the issues. I'm not a coward. If you're or the same mindset or have something constructive to contribute you may contact me at jwo9393@aol.com


Well said!

Shame Shame Shame on you with many investment properties so clearly writting to curry favor with one who gives permits.
