Public tenant narrative (outside official agencies)
You’ve also referenced—and your own experience matches—a public tenant‑authored narrative about 3450 Market that describes:

• Service cuts:
• Cable removed despite being part of rent.
• Trash chute sealed; tenants forced to haul trash to outdoor bins.
• Garbage pickup reduced, causing overflow and rodent issues.
• Payment and fee changes:
• New “convenience fee” for paying rent by check.
• Pressure to use electronic methods only.
• Surveillance and non‑cooperation:
• Multiple cameras installed.
• Refusal to share footage with tenants or police after incidents.
• Towing/parking threats:
• Late‑night towing attempts despite valid registrations and long‑standing parking rights.
  That narrative lines up with the formal complaints and your lawsuit.
