\u201cThis three-bedroom, 250 sq m property comprises a two-level home constructed of board and batten with a portion of weatherboard cladding, iron roofing and aluminium joinery, positioned on a frontage site zoned single house. <\/p>\n
\u201cFrom an exterior viewing, an office is attached to the right with its own separate entrance. A concrete driveway offers ample off-street parking.<\/p>\n
\u201cLocal beaches, schooling, and shops are only a short drive away.\u201d<\/p>\n
Davis declined to speak to the Herald further about the sale or the property, and Parker could not be reached for comment. <\/p>\n
Zimmerman, who has claimed to be a \u2018sovereign citizen\u2019, could not be reached. <\/p>\n
The property\u2019s rateable value was assessed to be $1.6 million last year after selling in 2003 for $545,000, property website OneRoof said. <\/p>\n

The property will be auctioned at 2pm on Wednesday. An open home was held yesterday. <\/p>\n
Zimmerman\u2019s website, which was still online at the time of publishing, said patients could expect treatment \u201cin a caring and safe environment\u201d. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe in providing treatment that allows the body to heal by itself, reducing the need for surgery and producing long-term results,\u201d the website reads. <\/p>\n
\u201cPain can become a constant companion, but it doesn\u2019t have to be that way.\u201d<\/p>\n
He had at least five victims. At Zimmerman\u2019s sentencing at the North Shore District Court, Judge Paul Murray described the impact on them as \u201cwide-ranging and serious\u201d. <\/p>\n
Another woman needed remedial work done on an \u201cexcessively painful\u201d filling which never settled afterwards, court documents showed. <\/p>\n
And another needed stitches for a hole in her cheek from a suction hose during a wisdom tooth extraction. <\/p>\n
A fourth woman was concerned about the apparently poor state of Zimmerman\u2019s surgical equipment. <\/p>\n
She bled during treatment and had a \u201cdistressing and frightening\u201d wait for blood test results after. A fifth was at a low point in her life when she got treatment from Zimmerman, but it left her feeling worse. <\/p>\n
David Zimmerman’s property will be auctioned on Wednesday.
The property site where David Zimmerman practised is being touted for its \u201cbeachy vibes\u201d.<\/p>\n
In March 2023, the Ministry of Health\u2019s enforcement team helped police in a search of Zimmerman\u2019s premises.<\/p>\n
He was present and when given his Bill of Rights, he showed police a \u201cSovereign National of Aotearoa<\/a>\u201d identity card, the summary of facts said.<\/p>\n The search found instruments inside an autoclave (steam steriliser) in brown paper bags.<\/p>\n There was no evidence of a colour change, indicating that the instruments had been through a sterilising process.<\/p>\n On a bench top near the autoclave, there were four used local anaesthetic cartridges, plus three vials of the prescription item lignocaine, which was not typically found in a dental surgery, the summary of facts said.<\/p>\n Old plastic milk containers were being used as \u201csharps\u201d containers and pre-loaded local anaesthetic syringes were found in a drawer behind the dental chair.<\/p>\n The cartridges in the preloaded syringes were not all full.<\/p>\n While the search was under way, a courier delivered a package containing root canal treatment cement.<\/p>\n Zimmerman continued to operate his dental practice, even after his premises were searched, which led to multiple charges against him and two charges against his business.<\/p>\n He eventually admitted one representative charge of using words and descriptions that stated or implied he was a dentist, based on signage outside his property.<\/p>\n He admitted a further representative charge of claiming to be a practising health practitioner when he saw patients between December 2022 and September 2023.<\/p>\n The charge covered five instances of Zimmerman performing a restricted activity without permission.<\/p>\n The centre pleaded guilty to two charges of possessing and managing a radiation source, namely, an X-ray machine, without a licence, which Zimmerman used twice.<\/p>\n
