Complex classes like BaseModelController often do a lot of different things. To break such a class down, we need to identify a cohesive component within that class. A common approach to find such a component is to look for fields/methods that share the same prefixes, or suffixes. You can also have a look at the cohesion graph to spot any un-connected, or weakly-connected components.
Once you have determined the fields that belong together, you can apply the Extract Class refactoring. If the component makes sense as a sub-class, Extract Subclass is also a candidate, and is often faster.
While breaking up the class, it is a good idea to analyze how other classes use BaseModelController, and based on these observations, apply Extract Interface, too.

This check looks for function or method calls that always return null and whose return value is assigned to a variable.
The method
getObject()
can return nothing but null, so it makes no sense to assign that value to a variable.The reason is most likely that a function or method is imcomplete or has been reduced for debug purposes.
