Ablahblah Realty [xxxx] [xx]st Avenue San Francisco, CA 9411[x] Ezekiel J. Krahlin, #205 [xxxx] Market Street San Francisco, CA 9411[x] 415-xxx-xxxx January 11, 2021 To Ablahblah Realty: This regards an ongoing, and most serious, problem at [xxxx] Market Street, where I have happily resided since 1983, in room 205. Which problem for some unknown reason our building manager, Kevin Bond, has refused to resolve, or is incapable of resolving. It has to do with one woman, Myrtle Haversak, who lives down the hallway from me in apartment 208, with her teenage son, Adisa. It seems she has an arrangement with another mom or two, for their sons and daughters to hang out in the hallway at least one day per week, for hours. Which mostly impacts myself, because they are usually parked right in front of my door (at the end of a short hallway), often talking loudly, even yelling sometimes. This is a direct invasion of my privacy, and much worse: they don't wear a mask! Thus putting myself and everyone else in the building, at risk of catching and spreading the novel coronavirus. I am most at risk, obviously because more exposed to their presence...and in addition, I am seventy years old. Furthermore: we already have at least one resident who's come down with the virus...possibly more, since the information as to who and how many is concealed from us by law. What limited information tenants have, is posted in the lobby. I would certainly conclude the possibility that Kamari's maskless friends may have contributed to spreading this contagion, and may still be doing so. I also do not enjoy hearing teenagers (or anyone else) saying "niggah" this and "niggah" that, even though I realize it is a colloquialism that is acceptable among African American youth. But why should I be subjected to such language outside my own door, for hours on end...along with their "gangsta" style tough talk? Honestly, were I a parent who adopted a black child, I would never raise him like that. It's as if their adult guardians are training them to fail as grownups. I find it rather intimidating that strangers hang out in the hallway, and close to my door. So much so, that I try not to step out during the lengthy time they are there. And this includes using the restroom I share with two other residents, one of whom is elderly like myself. Talk about discomfort! I really do not like strangers seeing me come and go, especially when they're hanging out but ten or so feet from my door, and right in front of it. Not only do they refuse to wear masks, but freely use the same restroom I and two more residents use. Thus exposing me and others to the scary possibility of greater exposure to COVID-19 than need be. This is a problem that's been going on for at least several months, with no resolution in sight. For I have already spoken with both Mr. Bond and Ms. Haversak twice about this, two and three months ago. Both times Kevin said he'll get on top of this, and Myrtle gave the impression that she will, too. But things have not changed one iota. So I don't see any point in confronting either one about this, anymore...but simply wonder: "Doesn't either Ms. Haversak or Mr. Bond even care about how this uncomfortable scenario is a threat to any and all residents' lives? Especially to myself, and other tenants who occupy the second floor." I have found Kevin Bond to be a most congenial and responsible manager overall, but this takes the cake. Now, I'm sticking my neck out by reporting this to you, due to possible retaliation by one or more parties involved. Nonetheless, my health is at risk, as well as everyone else's who lives here, due to Adisa's friends' refusal to wear a mask. This is such a dangerous situation due to the potential exposure to a deadly virus being thoughtlessly spread (at least, the potential is there), that I feel compelled to also bring this to the attention of our health authorities, if this problem isn't resolved promptly. Most sincerely, and with great concern for myself and all other residents, Ezekiel J. Krahlin cc: Kevin Bond, Myrtle Haversak P.S.: I have just confronted Kevin Bond again (two days ago), over this, and he was both thoughtless and rude, with the ridiculous excuse that they're teenagers, what should I expect? This is abhorrent. Now I'm beginning to wonder if I'm being targeted! If so, it will surely backfire.
