Schoning Property Owner/Landlord

Hi Corvallis! I'm a Salem resident looking for information about Kerry Schoning, who property records show owns the house next to mine.

The residents there have been a problem since I moved in back in August of 2021, and I strongly suspect they're at least part of the reason the previous owners were so eager to sell (an abbreviated list of issues: theft, throwing food waste into my yard for my dogs to find, inappropriately persistent flirtatious messages via text and physical paper, illegal flop house, illegal car-flipping, backyard bonfires of all kinds of materials in summer months, overcrowding, pissing everywhere, running over my property, meth/crack/cocaine use, pissing on my car, and more; I wouldn't want small children living next to them either).

County code compliance has been on the residents for a while, but they're wicked good at ducking and weaving. I overheard a man I've assumed is the landlord reading one of the residents the riot act a few months ago, but nothing came of the threats to evict. The property is so trashed that he probably knows it would cost more money to boot these guys and fix it up ready to generate income again than it would to just ignore the problem.

I would very much like to know more about the property owner. Does anyone know if he is related to Kip Schoning? Google turns up a bunch of nightmare material about him and his wife. Any and all info would be very much appreciated!! As I typed this, a crummy old sedan was driven onto the property for the first time-- another vehicle to flip. The SUV they've been working on literally night and day since Sunday/Monday must almost be done. I watched a guy smoking meth in the backyard the other day. I've had to run into the yard and pry to-go box styrofoam and chicken bones out of my dogs' mouths. I haven't had a full night of rest at home for years because they're coming and going in their deliberately enloudified vehicles and shouting all night. And I've seen more stranger dude butt dick n balls than I would have preferred by a long shot. I'm tired, y'all, haha. Any information is super super super appreciated!!

EDIT: I have sent a letter to the address on file for Schoning with property records detailing the situation, including the theft, stalking, and creeping (we had to put up curtains on every single window facing the property because the note-sending thief peered in otherwise). Nothing. Not a single mention of the behavior in his tirade to his tenants. Just complaining about being on code's radar. Y'ALL these people busted out their own door and windows weeks ago. This Kerry dude is a real piece of work. Plus when he finally does show up to help haul away the literal tons of junk and garbage, he lets the tenants boss him around into doing all the heavy lifting! This old poorly-gaited man is lifting and carrying at the behest of spry young men on uppers in the prime of their lives. It's just shameful top to bottom. Sorry for the rant, it's been a long few years. This is all to say that neighbor-to-neighbor mediation is not on the table (residents have been very clear about that when I've tried to resolve things in the past, especially the "romantic" advances-- they literally hid even though I explicitly asked if we could just put it behind us and be cool), and Schoning himself doesn't have the foresight of a housefly.

UPDATE: It took almost five years, money, and a lot of constant pressure, but this particular property seems to be finished. Once the guns and the drugs were caught on camera (this has not been an inexpensive fight in terms or time, effort, or money), once the stolen vehicles and people wanted in connection with shootings piled up, the cops started putting pressure on the residents AND on Schoning. This is the first quiet, peaceful spring we've gotten to enjoy in our home, and it is absolutely sublime. If anyone else reading this is dealing with a trap house and an absent landlord, I highly suggest making it the city's problem by leaning hard on code compliance and the police. It's an arduous process, but I'm elated to say that at least in this case, it WORKED. I wish this peace on everyone who has had to deal with these people!!!
