From: Justin Horn To: Ryan Siminske Date: October 6, 2025 3:01 PM Subject: Issues Hey Ryan, Sadly another incident occured about 15 minutes ago with Pam gossiping to other residents about me. It's all written down now as you requested. See below. Thank you for your help, Justin --- Yesterday morning I went to the lounge to cool off because my apartment was too hot. I was alone. A male porter came in and said, "You know it's daytime, right?" I responded, "Yes... why?" He told me the lights in the lounge had to be on. I explained that I was there alone, trying to cool off because my AC wasn't working, and that I had turned the lights off temporarily. I said if someone came in and wanted them on, I'd have no problem with that. He kept insisting that he was going to turn them on regardless because it was "the rules." I said unless I live in a prison, light switches are for residents to use. Today I went outside to cool off in the shade. Pam, the female porter, commented that I was smoking "too close to the building," even though I was more than 25 feet away. Pam then told me the male porter from the day before had been trying to clean the lounge and that was why he wanted the lights on. This was never mentioned to me by him at the time. She also said I was wrong to turn off the lights during the day because it was against the rules. There is no rule about that. I decided to speak to management. Pam began asking me questions about my meeting with management, and I asked her to stop because it was bothering me. She said, "I never bothered you." I replied that she had, both outside when I was smoking and now again. Her response was, "You're the one that causes all the problems around here. That's what the guys said." I asked, "What guys, and what exactly was said?" She couldn't give me any names or examples of problems I had caused. This made it clear she was gossiping about me with the male porter and possibly others. About two hours later, I was waiting for the elevator and overheard Pam's voice saying something about me and my unit number, 806. When I entered the elevator, she and another resident I didn't know went silent. I reported to the front desk that I had overheard her gossiping about me to another resident. Pam then came up yelling, saying she was "talking about 806 to myself regarding where I still need to clean or not." I asked, "By my unit number?" She admitted yes, then began yelling that I was being disrespectful to her. I told her she had already admitted to gossiping about me with others, and this was just more of the same behavior. This was very upsetting. I raised my voice because she was yelling down the hallway, seemingly unaware that telling me people think I cause problems was itself gossiping about me in a negative way. When he told me to turn the lights on, when she made comments about my smoking, and when my unit is too hot to stay inside, it amounts to harassment. It needs to stop. As long as these two employees continue to work here and find reasons to bother me, there is likely to be more gossip that could harm me. JUST TO BE SUPER CLEAR... I don't think the porters and maids are here to enforce "rules" (some of which they make up), and also, they are not here to criticize residents about ANYTHING, and they should talk to management or front desk if they have a concern. Also, if Pam believes I'm an issue for people based off gossip, she's perpetuating the antisemitism based scapegoating, using micro aggressions... and being paid for it. I'm sad I had to write this, but indeed, I do NEED to do so to keep myself safe following the assault that's motive was ethnic intimidation. If nothing is done about this, I'll move, because I don't care to know "what's next" after two day of harassment from the male porter and Pam (female porter/cleaner).
