Controversies

[edit]

Kohan lost the Jamestown Mall in late 2011 due to foreclosure, but retained some ownership in late 2012.[1][7] The mall had previously declared bankruptcy in August 2011.[1]

After purchasing Woodville Mall in 2009, it was closed in December 2011 by court order, and demolished by Northwood, Ohio in March 2014 due to its poor material condition.[66][67]

Lincoln Mall suffered from serious material condition issues during Kohan's ownership and in August 2013 went into receivership.[12][68] Matteson, Illinois took over ownership in June 2014 and it closed in January 2015 after running out of money.[69][68][70] At the malls closure, over $10 million in fines and taxes was owed to Matteson by Kohan.[68] Lincoln Mall was demolished starting in May 2017.[71]

During a 2013 police drug search, serious issues were discovered in Northland Mall's former Kmart that included mold, roof damage, and other major issues. Ownership also owed $141,081.61 in taxes to Nobles County, Minnesota.[72][73] The mall had serious material condition issues in April 2014 that Worthington, Minnesota took action on.[74][75] Worthington won a court decision about the former Kmart in June 2014, and demolition began in February 2015.[76] The mall was sold to 7&41 LLC in May 2015.[77]

Due to lack of payment on a $300,000 bill, Rotterdam Square Mall lost power on February 12, 2015.[2][78] The mall was later sold to ViaPort USA for $9.25 million.[79] Since its purchase, Berkshire Mall has suffered from serious tax issues with many payments being missed. Kohan has been taken to court several times over these issues and has narrowly avoided Berkshire's seizure.[22][80] Berkshire has also suffered from a series of power outages.[81]

Kohan owed $627,789 in property taxes on the Washington Square Mall in 2017, and the mall was put up for tax sale.[19] The malls outstanding taxes were paid off in October 2018 for $1.1 million.[81]

VF Factory Outlet Mall closed in October 2017.[67]

Indian River Mall almost lost power in December 2017 due to unpaid electric bills and bounced checks totaling $428,175. The bill was paid the day electric was to be shutoff.[82]

Mayberry Mall was almost closed on February 1, 2018, by local government officials due to roof and mold issues. It was sold to WRS Inc. Real Estate Investments in 2019.[83][84]

In August 2018, Kohan sued Clay, New York for a reduction in the Great Northern Mall's taxes, while owing $1.53 million to county government.[85] Due to the roofs poor condition, Effingham City declared Village Square Mall unsafe in August 2018.[86]

Due to Kohan not paying Lycoming Mall's PPL electric bill, it lost power in late August 2018.[87]

In September 2018, Southbridge Mall was sued by Cerro Gordo County for $177,324 in back taxes.[24][88] Those taxes were paid off in December 2018, with three of the previous four checks sent to the county bouncing.[89]

Kohan owed around $550,000 on The Orchards Mall in various taxes before its sale in late 2018.[17]

Lycoming County Water and Sewer Authority placed Lycoming Mall on the February 2019 sheriff's sale list due to unpaid bills.[90] Kohan made a partial payment to stop the auction.[81][20]

Chapel Hill Mall almost had power disconnected by Ohio Edison due to unpaid bills in April and December 2019.[91][92]

Tulsa Promenade was placed into receivership in July 2019 due to missed mortgage payments and maintenance issues.[93] Kohan resumed ownership of the mall in September.[94]

Chapel Hill Mall in January 2020 was foreclosed on by Summit County, Ohio for owing $753,732.82 in real estate taxes.[95] The mall also had electric and water payment issues the same month.[96]

Adrian Mall in March 2020 was almost condemned due to electrical, roof, and structural issues.[97] It was later condemned in June 2020 due to numerous serious issues.[98]

Kohan in March 2021 owed $320,000 in back taxes on The Esplanade. During Jefferson Parish, Louisiana's investigation, it was discovered that additional taxes from 1992 were not paid on the vacant Macy's anchor building, resulting in Kohan owing another $480,000. Parts of the property later went up for tax sale, were not sold, and the assets transferred to Jefferson Parish.[99] The mall would close in later 2021 due to the effects of Hurricane Ida.[100]

Great Northern Mall was closed for month in January and February 2022 due to repairs for frozen pipes. Kohan also owes almost $5 million in back taxes on the property.[101]

Lycoming County Water and Sewer Authority again placed Lycoming Mall on the May 2022 sheriff's sale list due to unpaid bills.[102] Kohan paid almost $300,000 in unpaid bills and fees to avoid the sheriff's sale.[103]

In February 2023, the Aroostook Centre Mall in Presque Isle, Maine was closed after Kohan's local employee advised tenant's that Kohan had not been paying utility bills and he was unable to get in contact with the corporate office.[104]

In December 2022, Kohan was sued by the executive director of a nonprofit organization, who alleged that the company refused to honor a promised monetary contribution in exchange for professional services he performed at the Seminole Towne Center Mall in Sanford, Florida. In the filing, it was also alleged that Kohan's representatives maliciously defamed him to city officials in retaliation for his demand to be paid for the services rendered. A default judgment was awarded in March 2023 when Kohan's representatives failed to appear in court.[105]

As of June 2023, Kohan was delinquent on approximately $800,000 of property taxes owing on the Seminole Towne Center, $355,000 of property taxes owing on the Central Mall in Port Arthur, Texas, over $1 million of property taxes owing on the Midland Mall in Midland, Texas, and $560,000 of property taxes owing on the Colonial Park Mall in Lower Paxton Township, Pennsylvania.[106] The Towne West Square Mall in Wichita, Kansas was served a disconnect notice by Evergy Electric Co. due to non-payment of their electric bill.[107] Kohan is also delinquent on two years of back taxes owing on the Towne West Square Mall, and Kohan employees have complained about paychecks bouncing.[108]

In July 2023, Kohan's efforts to sell the Colonial Park Mall fell through due to an outstanding debt of $320,000 owed to the Lower Paxton Township Authority for unpaid sewer charges, stormwater fees, and others. A sheriff's sale on the delinquent utility charges was averted when Kohan paid 25 minutes before the deadline.[109]

In September 2023, power was shut off at the Towne West Square Mall due to Kohan remaining delinquent on their power bill owed to the Evergy Electric Co, forcing their tenants to close.[110] Also, the Promenade Mall in Tulsa, Oklahoma was closed permanently after Kohan refused to remedy ongoing fire code violations in the property.[111]

In November 2023, power was shut off at the Marshalltown Mall in Marshalltown, Iowa due to Kohan remaining delinquent on their power bill owed to Alliant Energy, forcing their tenants inside the mall to close and many with external entrances to relocate due to fire safety codes.[112] The power at the Towne West Square Mall was also shut off for the second time in two months after Kohan again failed to pay Evergy Electric.[113] As of August 2024 the power has still not been restored due to unpaid bills and the fire code violations have not been resolved.[114]

In December 2023, water service was shut off to parts of the Towne West Square Mall due to unpaid utility bills owed by Kohan to the city of Wichita.[115]

In February 2024, power was shut off at the Seminole Towne Center Mall due to Kohan being delinquent on their power bill owed to Florida Power & Light, forcing their tenants to close and causing a loss of parking lot lighting.[116] The power was turned back on three days later after they finally paid.[117]

In March 2024, June 2024, and July 2024, power was shut off at the Westwood Mall in Marquette, Michigan, due to Kohan being repeatedly delinquent on their power bill owed to the Marquette Board of Light and Power.[118] Kohan is also delinquent on $306,000 of property taxes owing on the Westwood Mall.[119]

In May 2024, notice was posted on the Fairlane Town Center in Dearborn, Michigan that Kohan was delinquent on their electric and gas bill due to DTE Energy, but payment was made in time to avoid a shutoff. Kohan remains delinquent on $2.1 million in property taxes owing on the Fairlane Town Center.[120]

In July 2024, Kohan was accused of willfully destroying video evidence concerning an injury which took place at the Seminole Towne Center Mall when they still owned and operated the property in June 2022.[121]

As of August 2024, the Marshalltown Mall remains closed as Kohan has still refused to pay the delinquent power bill owing on the property or comply with local government orders for fire code compliance after the power was shut off in November 2023.[122]

In August 2024, the Valley View Mall in La Crosse, Wisconsin was closed for four days after Kohan failed to pay the property's electric bill.[123]
