SECTION 6 TITLE 6.5 SEVERE ROACH INFESTATION TIMELINE [EXHIBITS]

WALLS OF SILENCE

SECTION 6 TITLE 6.5 SEVERE ROACH INFESTATION TIMELINE

 

When I moved into Building Ten on December 1, 2023, I had no idea what was in store for me. Those first two months—December and January—were completely roach-free. I settled into the unit, hopeful and ready to make a maximum 12 month go of it. Then came February. That’s when everything changed, January 30, 2023 is when apartment manager Rick Newmann’s guest (girlfriend) physically assaulted me; she left the property very shortly after. Rick Newmann began a “cleanup” in his apartment and rental office following Sarah’s departure. Within days of his so-called cleanup hauling contractor bags of trash from his unit to the dumpster and the garage to unit, to trash—touching items he said belong to their former tenant of the unit I was renting who he said filthy months before, roaches began to emerge in my unit, scuttling up from Rick Newmann’s downstairs unit like unwelcome guests I hadn’t invited.

Subpart 1. First Signs And Initial Reporting (February)

The moment I noticed those first roaches, I didn’t hesitate. I went straight to Rick, the manager himself, assuming he’d take swift action to eliminate the infestation. His solution? A single can of Raid. That was it. No exterminator, no follow-up plan—just a can of spray. Notably, Rick Newmann had many brand new unused cans of the stuff, he didn’t hesitate to hand it to me as if he already knew that infestation was a problem on his lower floor and had been secretly treating it. I knew that wouldn’t solve the problem, but I’d never dealt with roaches so I didn’t know what else to request beyond call an exterminator, which he rejected. Therefore, I used the can of raid that he supplied me anyway, watching it fail to make a dent in what was fast becoming a full-blown invasion. I would continue buying the spray Rick Newmann had given me as well as Ortho Home Defense each month.

Subpart 2. Escalation And The Ridiculous Response (April)

By April, the infestation had intensified to an unmanageable, depressing level. This wasn’t a matter of a few bugs here and there. Roaches were popping up everywhere, creeping into every corner of my life, I wasn’t as functional as I was in December and January because of this problem. Once again, I reported the worsening conditions to Rick. This time, he had something else to show me: a yellow fly swatter. He even suggested I buy one myself, as if swatting individual roaches would solve the problem where the unit had already become uninhabitable because of the severity. The absurdity of it all was infuriating. Meanwhile, the bugs were everywhere, and the conditions several of the tenants combined with apartment manager not managing the common areas—meant my single-handed battle was hopeless. During this encounter, Rick Newmann Sexual Harassment will become an intolerable Sexual Advance. I felt unsafe after his sexual advance. I stopped all communication with him and appealed to apartment manager Anthony Anderson, when I could catch him outside because owner Don Klyberg’s phone number is not listed anywhere; he had called me once about utilities and that allowed me to call him back weeks later on January 30, 2024. However, I couldn’t find his number after that date.

Subpart 3. A Plague In Every Corner (May)

By May, the roaches were inescapable. They had infiltrated my refrigerator and freezer, all the cabinets and drawers, the overhead space and were coming down from the bolted oven hood. Beyond the kitchen they were in the brand new Livingroom television I purchased four months before—the television screen went black; I don’t know if it was the actual bugs inside of it or the harsh pesticides in the air. The pesticides we’re causing the fire alarms to trigger at times a stove had not even been turned on that day. They also caused yellow staining (it looks like pools of moisture that dried like spills) to the living room and office curtains which are white and cream colored—I never used pesticides directly on my curtains.

A.    I had to stop cooking in May because it wasn’t possible to prepare food; I had to switch to pre-packaged, processed foods that could be stored in the freezer and broken refrigerator completely sealed.

B.    I had to clean out all the drawers and cabinets to stop my blood pressure from spiking and crashing; when I’d open a cabinet and roaches would literally fly into my face or I’d stick my hand in a drawer and have roaches fly unto my hand. The blood pressure of it all would cause me to become extremely lightheaded and fall asleep within minutes at the most. So, to avoid that I used the dining room table as cabinets where I can see everything before I touch it. 

C.    They were in the computer, even the leather couches, my bedroom dressers. No space was safe. The infestation had transformed my apartment into a daily struggle for hygiene, fresh air,  and basic peace of mind. Nothing felt clean or secure and I was depressed.

D.   My belongings, from food to furniture, suffered, damaged or outright destroyed by an infestation that had become impossible to contain.

Subpart 4. Confined To The Bedroom ½ The Year Lease (June)

By June, I had loss use of half the house. I confined myself to my bedroom using the office briefly for emergencies. I could not use bathroom facilities without first combatting roaches. I asked repeatedly for professional pest control. My requests were ignored until the last week of August 28, 2024.

A.    Extermination first happened after I called animal control about the animal abuse, waste and infestation, intending to report sexual harassment, stalking, mail theft and property damage after I felt out the officer because I didn’t want the retaliation to get worse when I still have to live next door to Newmann—but none of that was possible because Animal Control and police both demoted the call, and despite telling me they were coming—never showed up even though I specifically asked to make a police report for my records August 20, 2024 to help move away from the conditions I’d endured nine months—not because my priorities included what’s best for the property at that point; seven months after I first requested intervention for the Roach infestation is when Newmann finally calls exterminator.

Subpart 5. A Lackadaisical Inspection A Month Later (September)

A.    The reason extermination was called was not just my phone call to animal control (not police) but the City Inspections that would be performed by Steve Carson following my call. The City would wait 30 days, giving Don Klyberg and his management team time to clear out the evidence and fit the property for City Inspection before a formal record could be entered into a public record keeping system.

B.    The City, who had my phone number would not contact me prior to that inspection to note what specifically should be looked at like a working appliance for my food—making it plain that they had zero concern about my condition as a Soulaani victim of this legally defined nuisance property, only insulating themselves from an infestation that could reach the white surrounding community and protecting the white Slumlord so that he can continue doing the job of debilitating, displacing and exploiting people of color and the disabled.

C.    In the secluded rural city, neither local animal control or City Inspection were listed online where I could find them. City Hall denied knowing any City Inspector existed (microaggressions). Following my phone call, The tenants and building management scrambled to prepare for a city inspection September 20, 2024 that’s the reason they called extermination.

D.   Eight months, $700 out of my own pocket on traps, Raid, and Ortho Home Defense. None of it worked—the building was kept in too poor a condition for store-bought remedies to make any difference in my unit. It’s been totally uninhabitable all but two months of the lease.

Subpart 6. Health, Frustration, And A Never-Ending Battle

A.    By June, my health had taken a serious hit. Every time I tried to handle my clothes or clean, I was met with more roaches. My blood pressure, already high, would spike. I’d feel drained in minutes, weak, and often too worn out to even finish basic chores I’d fall asleep within minutes and it could happen multiple times in a day so I had to stop having a routine and was confined to a bed and one room. Dirty clothes started to pile up by the door simply because I didn’t have the strength to wrestle with the infestation and the toll it took on my body because it’s all throughout including the laundry room.

B.    The constant exposure to roaches and their waste was a nightmare on my lungs, especially considering my Chiari Malformation the coughing began triggering bouts of debilitating migraines lasting days at a time.

C.    I’d normally be prescribed Imitrex to manage migraines but the racism in the clinical setting in Brown County has made physical clinical and hospital healthcare impossible for the entirety of two years that I have resided in the county in great deal because all hospitals and clinics are connected to Allina Health who practice a lethal scam of fraudulent records and malpractice aimed at preventing Soulaani health—which no representative should attempt to deny because denial insinuates I Am mistaken and this present an obstacle for me that I am right and the most recent audio recordings are logged in multiple the clouds. As you can see data is redacted that is the signal that I Am not focused on exposing what we know is existing but I also cannot be burden to carry the secrets of that which aims to destroy me and I’m saying now that should I be destroyed after the publishing of this expose 100% those responsible are mentioned here and the covering of crimes that most heavily impact Soulaani are the motive. They should simply stop systematically targeting Soulaani and stop systematically hurting U.S. citizens period. There is a better path to remaining prosperous than harming innocence and we need to find it.

D.   Living in a chaotic, pest-ridden environment had real consequences on my health and functioning. A structured, manageable space is essential for me because of the physical limitations and diagnosis of short-term memory loss, impacted executive functioning and cognitive ability that accompany my chief issue of Chiari Malformation. Yet the living conditions have been anything but for five years—and on top of that I am here; like all the environments I’ve been systematically endangered in as a Vulnerable Adult since February 28, 2019, because I am the victim of state and federal crimes which systems have refused to investigate.

E.    By late spring, I found myself avoiding anything that meant facing the roach problem head-on. I had no choice but to preserve my health, in the face of an infestation management refused to acknowledge. And so here I am, surrounded by roach traps that do little to stem the tide, still paying full rent for a place that’s unlivable on top of the $700 that’s been spent on monthly pesticides and electric air fresheners, health declining, and no real end in sight.

M E A N W H I L E

While the alleged perpetrator—whether directly responsible for the issue or merely negligent—fails to promptly contact extermination services as required, he simultaneously engage in a disturbing pattern of misconduct. This includes sexual harassment, sexual advances, stalking, theft of personal property (which is paraded to force interaction), property destruction, retaliatory refusal to complete repairs, and constant video surveillance both property and spy cam (Allegedly) and listening from unit below, stalking at windows, mailboxes, phones, and doors. Brings in a woman whose battered you for stopping a dryer at owners direction, to batter you again for calling animal control.

When confronted about these behaviors, they respond with an eviction notice the same day, citing "false allegations and too many complaints" but refuse to provide evidence of such claims. They form mobs to further harass you, manipulate utilities to inflict financial harm, tamper with and steal your mail to cause financial harm and try to force insecurities, and refuse to enforce lease provisions against other tenants—including, allegedly, a disabled woman with whom the perpetrator is reportedly having sexual contact without her consent to obtain repairs.

Meanwhile, unsanitary conditions persist, including standing animal waste and food left in common areas, attracting pests because they can survive eating it, and spreading foul odors into my living space TO DOMINATE IT, making it impossible to leave the apartment or take out trash without the issue of blood-sucking infestations jumping on you and coming into the apartment. Despite these conditions, the additional property manager Anthony Anderson (a personal friend of the perpetrator), property owner, local police, and city inspector collectively shield the responsible party and deflect blame onto you, effectively punishing you for simply existing—assisting them in accumulating $151,200.00 for this activity which results in financial destruction of your property to the tune of $18,638.37 on top of the environmental stressors.

Because criminal medical insurance coverage administrations and federally fraudulent housing authorities are like this real estate property and its personnel—above the law; and you we're too sick to work and systematically separated from the option of adequate and appropriate healthcare to begin with. 13 months at this property, 2 years in this city, 5 years an Internally Displaced Person, 21 of rare brain condition they have been doing this to you—and chased you across the country to keep it secret.
