1 I, Ben Hutchinson, declare as follows:

2 1. I have personal knowledge of the following facts except those stated on information

3 and belief. As to those facts, I believe them to be true. If called upon to testify, I could and would

4 testify competently to the contents of this Declaration.

5 2. I am currently 39 years old, and have been employed as a software engineer since

6 2007.

7 3. Since December 2011, I have been a tenant at 75 Hill Street, San Francisco,

8 California, a one-bedroom, rent-controlled unit in a five-unit residential building at 69-75 Hill Street

9 (the "Hill" property), in San Francisco's Mission District. I am the sole occupant of the unit. Since

10 December 2011, I have paid $2,100 per month in rent. I originally had a one-year lease with the

11 owner at the time, which thereafter converted into a month-to-month lease. A true and correct copy

12 of my original lease is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

13 4. Throughout my tenancy, my rent has included laundry machines and access to the

14 storage/laundry/garage area. I recall that access to the laundry facilities was included in the

15 Craigslist.com posting advertising the unit for rent. I also remember discussing the laundry

16 facilities with the landlord in 2011 when I first came to look at the unit.

17 5. In April or May 2014, my original landlord, Chris Vanderstaay, with whom I

18 enjoyed a good relationship, listed the Hill property for sale. On or about May 16, 2014, I received

19 a letter from Mr. Vanderstaay's realtor requesting me to complete and return an Apartment Rental

20 Questionnaire/estoppel. I promptly completed and returned it.

21 6. It is my understanding that, around June 26, 2014, the Hill property was purchased

22 by Defendant ANNE KIHAGI aka ANNA KIHAGI aka ANNA SWAIN aka ANNE KIHAGI j

23 SWAIN aka ANNA KIHAGI SWAIN ("KIHAGf') and Defendant CHRISTINE MW ANGI aka

24 CHRISTINA MW ANGI aka CHRISTINE JOHNSON ("C. MW ANGI") through their entity,

25 Defendant ZORIALL, LLC ("ZORIALL"). Following the acquisition of the building, Defendant

26 KIHAGI began a campaign of harassment, intimidation and retaliation against the tenants.

27 7. Sometime after the building was sold, a letter dated June 26, 2014, from Defendant

28 ZORIALL was slipped under my door, notifying me that "Anna Swain" will be my primary contact

and providing an address for me to mail rent checks to Defendant ZORIALL at P.O. Box at 584

Castro Street, San Francisco. I later learned that Anna Swain is the same person as Defendant

KIHAGI. A true and correct copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

8. In August 2014, I received a document called "House Rules," back-dated to July 26,

2014. I did not communicate with Defendants about the house rules, but I recall they appeared to

have been written from a perspective of making it easier to accuse tenants of creating a nuisance.

This document provided confusing and conflicting information, such as the storage of bicycles and

use of the storage/laundry/garage area. This document directed us in the event of an emergency to

contact "Anna Swain." A true and correct copy of the House Rules is attached hereto as Exhibit C.

9. On or about August 10, 2014, I received another letter from Defendant ZORIALL,

backdated July 26, 2015, purporting to change the terms of my original written lease regarding

attorney's fees. A true and correct copy of the letter back-dated to July 26, 2015 is attached hereto

as Exhibit D.

10. In August 2014, Defendants reduced the number of recycle bins from two to one. As

a result, the recycle bin would become full and I would have to wait until the following week to get

rid of my recyclables.

11. After Defendant KIHAGI and her agents purchased the building, the coin-operated

laundry machines in the garage that the tenants used would become full of coins so that we could

not do our laundry. Defendant KIHAGI failed to maintain the machines in a usable condition, and

the tenants would pave to call the laundry company for it to come and remove the coins.

12. In or about mid-November 2014, we all received a notice back-dated to November 9,

2014, announcing that our mailboxes were being removed, and that we needed to get everything out

of the storage area, bikes, etc. A true and correct copy of the notice dated November 9, 2014 is

attached hereto as Exhibit E.

13. With respect to the mailboxes, for about a week we had no access to the mail at all.

Then, the mailboxes were replaced with a new mailbox unit which oddly had six mailboxes, for five

units. For a while, we had only limited access to our mailboxes through the top where the mail

carrier opens to deliver the mail, and then the mailbox unit was locked and we could no longer

access our mail. Sometime in mid-January 2015, Defendants finally provided us with keys to the

new mailboxes.

14. The appearance of a sixth mailbox coupled with the demand to get our personal

property out of the garage area, prompted suspicion that Defendants were intending to add an extra

unit in the downstairs portion of the building.

15. On two different occasions, in approximately mid-November 2014 and February

2015, the power to the co~on areas of the property was cut-off for several days. As a result, after

sundown, the garage space, porch area and other common areas were pitch black. There were also

no lights in the front entryway to the apartments and in the alley beside the garage, and the area to

access the garbage. Because the common areas were so dark, I had to use a flashlight to access the

common areas at night. During this time, the laundry machines became inoperable, and I had to

take my clothes to a laundromat. I am informed and believe that my neighbor Dale Duncan had to

deal with PG&E and Defendant K.IHAGI to get the power turned back on.

16. On information and belief, in November or December 2014, the water to the building

was cut off. I am informed and believe that my neighbor Dale Duncan had to deal with the water

department and Defendant K.IHAGI to get the water turned back on.

17. On March 4, 2015, the City conducted inspections of the property. I was in Australia

at the time, and thus not present for the inspections, but I authorized my neighbor Dale Duncan to

allow the City inspectors into my unit.

18. On information and belief, immediately following the City's inspections, Defendant

K.IHAGI began retaliating against the Hill Street tenants for cooperating with the City's inspectors.

As I understand it, only a few hours after City inspectors completed their inspections, Defendant

K.IHAGI boarded up the garage and laundry room access from the back stairs, and changed the lock

on the front door to those areas, locking-in my neighbor Brian Smyth's car which was parked in the

garage.

19. On or about March 15, 2015, I returned from Australia, and found access to the

laundry room was boarded up and blocked by a new plywood wall. I called Defendant KIHAGI to

find out why, and left her a voicemail message. When Defendant KIHAGI called me back, I asked

4 DECL ISO Prelim Inj. - Case No. CGC-15-546152 n:\codenf\li2015\151349\0l060114.doc

Page 5: Decl Hutchinson iso Prelim Inj · 2015. 12. 1. · mw angi aka julia munene, christine mwangi aka christina mw an gi aka christine johnson, xelan prop 1, llc, renka prop, llc, nozari

1 her about the laundry facilities, and she tartly replied: "Ask your neighbors why ... I know you talk

2 to them." She refused to provide a direct answer to the question and refused to say why access to

3 the laundry had been terminated.

4 20. On information and belief, on March 20, 2015, Defendant KIHAGI towed my

5 neighbor Brian Smyth's car out of our garage as other Hill Street tenants looked on. On the same

6 day, Defendants' workers removed one or both of our laundry machine(s), and hauled it (them)

7 away. Later, Defendants installed a surveillance camera over the garage area.

8 21. On March 25, 2015, at approximately 9:00 p.m., a document entitled "24-Hour

9 Notice of Intent to Enter Premises" which was back-dated to March 24, 2015, was posted at the Hill

10 property, stating that the owner or owner's agent would be enter Units 71, 73A and 75 Hill on

11 Thursday 3/26 (the next day) between 9-4 p.m., Friday 3/27 between 9-4 p.m., and Tuesday 4/2

12 between 9-4 p.m. On Thursday March 26, 2015, I had to go to work, but I did not want Defendants

13 entering my home. I contacted an attorney and on counsel's advice, I posted a notice on my door

14 stating that Defendants' notice was insufficient and denying them access. I went to work that day,

15 but felt nervous all day about Defendants possibly entering my home. On March 27, 2015, I stayed

16 home all day. Defendant KIHAGI came over with one of her workers, and looked inside my

17 apartment. There she told the worker to remove my microwave, vent, and over-the-stove light. She

18 stated that she would replace it with a countertop microwave, but claimed I did not need any

19 venting or light over my stove. I followed Defendant KIHAGI out the door, and watched as she

20 went to my neighbor Dale's home, and started to put her key in the lock. I told Defendant KIHAGI

21 that Dale's wife was at home, and she should just ring the doorbell. Defendant KIHAGI told me

22 that she did not have to ring the bell, and claimed to have a legal right to simply enter Dale's home

23 because she had posted a notice. True and correct copies of the "24-Hour Notice" and my March

24 26, 2015 posting denying access are attached hereto, collectively, as Exhibit F.

25 22. On March 26, 2015, I filed a Report of Alleged Wrongful Severance of a Housing

26 Service with the San Francisco Rent Stabilization & Arbitration Board ("Rent Board"), complaining

27 of the sudden termination oflaundry services. A true and correct copy of the March 26, 2015

28 Report is attached hereto as Exhibit G.

1 23. By late March 2015, following Defendants' posting of notices of intent to enter

2 without the legally required amount of notice, I became very concerned that they would make

3 unauthorized entry into my home, and I installed two web cameras for security: one in the kitchen

4 and one aimed outside the public area around the front gate. I was not the only one. I believe most

5 or even all of the tenants had installed their own security cameras inside their apartment because

6 everyone was worried that Defendants were going to make unauthorized entries into our homes

7 while we were out.

8 24. On April IO, 2015, at 1:17 p.m., Defendants posted another "24 Hour Notice of

9 Intent to Enter Premises," stating that the owner or owner's agent would enter the premises on

IO Thursday, April 16, 2015 (the next day) from IO a.m to 4:00 p.m., and Wednesday, April 24, 2015

11 (actually, Wednesday was April 22) from IO a.m to 4:00 pm. I sent Defendant KIHAGI a text

12 message telling her that the dates did not make sense. She clarified that she meant Wednesday,

13 April 22. A true and correct copy of the 24 Hour Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit H.

14 25. I stayed home all day on April 16, 2015 as I did not want Defendants entering my

15 home without me being present. Defendants' worker came and removed my microwave, venting,

16 and over-the-stove light, leaving gaping holes, and a big mess behind.

17 26. On April 21, 2015, I sent Defendants a letter complaining about the lack of an

18 appliance replacement/mess. A true and correct copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit I.

19 27. On Wednesday, April 22, 2015, I made arrangements to stay home all day again, but

20 Defendant KIHAGI texted me that morning, postponing her entry, and posting another notice for

21 the next day.

22 28. When Defendants finally replaced the microwave, it was with a countertop oven, and

23 they have never replaced the venting or the over-the-stove lighting. Defendants' workers finally

24 patched the gaping holes they left, but never bothered to paint it.

25 29. In June 2015, my mother was visiting from Australia. Defendant KIHAGI arrived

26 just as my mother was walking out to go sightseeing. I later learned that Defendant KIHAGI began

27 asking neighbors down the street about the identity of my mother, and the length of her stay. This

28 was a very disturbing invasion of privacy, and left me with a feeling that we were being watched.

6 DECL ISO Prelim Inj. - Case No. CGC-15-546152 n:\codenf\li2015\151349\01060114.doc

1 30. Since October 2015, Defendants and their workers have been performing noisy,

2 dirty, and seriously disruptive construction work on Unit 73 at all hours of the day and night, every

3 day of the week, including weekends. When my neighbor complained about the hours of

4 construction, Defendant KIHAGI claimed that she had the right to perform construction from 7:00

5 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., seven days a week. For the two of us that are still residing at the Hill property,

6 this chaotic atmosphere makes quiet enjoyment impossible, and prevents us from being able to

7 enjoy our homes.

8 31. On October 22, 2015, Defendant KIHAGI sent me disturbing text messages in an

9 attempt to intimidate me into removing my security webcam which is inside my home, but aimed

10 outside at the area around the front gate, by threatening to press charges and making ridiculous

11 claims about me taking photos of her and her workers. Ironically and absurdly, Defendant

12 KIHAGI, who victimizes and intimidates her tenants by regularly spying on them and repeatedly

13 invading their privacy, now claims that my camera is intimidating her and her workers. True and

14 correct copies of screen shots of Defendant KIHAGI' s intimidating and threatening text messages

15 are attached hereto as Exhibit J.

16 32. I am soon to be one of the two remaining tenant at Hill Street, as almost everyone

17 else is gone or will be gone soon. Nick Reggars in Unit 73, having been threatened with an owner

18 move-in eviction by Defendant KIHAGI's sister Christine Mwangi aka Defendant C. MW ANGI,

19 and sick of Defendants' harassment, intimidation and retaliatory conduct, moved out in April 2015.

20 Dale Duncan, his wife, and his daughter in Unit 71, having been served with an owner move-in

21 eviction and two unlawful detainers, and tired of the harassment, intimidation and retaliatory

22 conduct, moved out in August 31, 2015. As of November 6, 2015, neither Defendant C. MW ANGI

23 nor anyone else has moved into Unit 71. Brian and Tim in Unit 69 felt the "writing was on the

24 wall" and moved out in October 2015. Brian Smyth in Unit 73A received a 60-Day Notice for

25 "temporary eviction" for unspecified capital improvements. He is required to move out by

26 December 15, 2015.

1 33. On October 13, 2015, I was served with my own 60-Day Notice of "temporary

2 eviction" for unspecified capital improvements, and am required to move out by December 15,

3 2015. By December 15, 2015, the building will be empty. A true and correct copy of the 60-Day

4 Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit K.

5 34. The only good that has come of Defendants' ownership of the Hill Street property is

6 that I got to know my neighbors, and forge a bond with them. When Defendants bought our

7 building in 2014, it was fully occupied. Now it is nearly empty. It is unpleasant and sad to be in the

8 building now.

RE: Notice of Receipt of Alleged Wrongful Severance of Housing Service Pursuant to Ordinance Section 37.2(r)

CASE NO: E150553

PROPERTY: 75 Hill Street

This memorandum acknowledges receipt of a-Report of All!Qed Wl'.ongfµI Severance ba~d on the severance or removal-of a housing service. · - · · ·

Effective August 8, 2006, Section 37.2(r) of the Rent Ordinance was amended to require landlords to have a "just cause" reason under Section 37.9(a) in order to remove or sever any of the following housing services from a tenancy: garage facilities, parking facilities, driveways, storage spaces, laundry rooms, decks, patios, or gardens on the same lot, or kitchen faclllties or lobbies In single room occupancy (SRO) hotels. In addition, the landlord must reduce the tenant's rent by a commensurate amount based ~m the decrease In housing services. Following removal or severance of a housing servl¢e, either the landlord or t!'Je tenant may file a petition at the Rent Board to determine the amount of the corresponding rent reduction.

The Report of Alleged Wrongful Severance filed by your tenant Indicates that the notice to sever the housing service Is defective because it either fails to state a "just cause" reason for severance or removal of the housing service or the landlord has failed to meet the "just cause• requirements for severance or removal of a housing service. Any dispute concerning "just cause• will have to be determined by a court.

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE LANDLORD SEEK LEGAL ADVICE BEFORE SEVERING OR REMOVING ANY HOUSING SERVICE SPECIFIED IN ORDINANCE SECTION 37.2(r).

Ms Anne Kihagi Swain

Zoriall LLC 584 Castro St, #199 San Francisco, CA 94114

Dear Ms Swain,

Re: Removal of microwave/fan appliance at 75 Hill St

You visited 75 Hill St on Friday March 27, in response to the Department of Building Inspection's Notice of Violation (complaint #201531221). The city required that you "Provide an approved receptacle within reach of the appliance cord plug" for the microwave/fan appliance above the stove. When you visited you stated that you would remove the microwave/fan appliance and provide a smaller microwave. I stated that the device was needed when cooking, for removing steam, fumes and odors from the air, and requested that you provide a replacement.

On April 16 an workman employed by you came and removed the microwave/fan appliance and provided a counter top microwave.

I would like to repeat my previous request for a replacement fan appliance over the stove. As well as the crucial fan and filtering functionality, it also had a light that was very useful when cooking. The counter top microwave is also less than ideal as it takes up a chunk of the little free counter top space that exists in the kitchen. Furthermore, the wall where the microwave/fan appliance used to be is in very poor condition, with many screw holes, it is a really an ugly sight and impedes my ability to enjoy spending time in the kitchen.

Replacing the microwave/fan appliance would be a much better solution, as the current solution impacts my ability to cook and use my counter tops.

Sincerely, Ben Hutchinson

(1) The tenant:

(A) Has failed to pay the rent to which the landlord is lawfully entitled under the oral or written agreement between the tenant and landlord:

(i) Except that a tenant's nonpayment of a charge prohibited by Section 919 .1 of the Police Code shall not constitute a failure to pay rent; and

(ii) Except that, commencing August 10, 2001, to and including February 10, 2003, a landlord shall not endeavor to recover or recover possession of a rental unit for failure of a tenant to pay that portion of rent attributable to a capital improvement passthrough certified pursuant to a decision issued after April 10, 2000, where the capital improvement passthrough petition was filed prior to August 10, 2001, and a landlord shall not impose any late fee(s) upon the tenant for such non~payment of capital improvements costs; or

(B) Habitually pays the rent late; or

(C) Gives checks which are frequently returned because there are insufficient funds in the checking account; or

(2) The tenant has violated a lawful obligation or covenant of tenancy other than the obligation to surrender possession upon proper notice or other than ·an obligation to pay a charge prohibited by Police Code Section 919.1, and failure to cure such violation after having received written notice thereof from the landlord. '

. the tenant, so long as the tenant continues to reside in the rental unit and the sublet constitutes a one-for-one replacement of the departing tenant(s)_. If the landlord fails to respond to the tenant in writing within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the tenant's written reques~ the tenant's request shall be deemed approved by the landlord.

If the landlord fails to respond to the tenant in writing within fourteen (14) days ofreceipt of the tenant's written request, the tenant's request shall be deemed approved by the landlord. A landlord's reasonable refusal of the tenant's written request may not be based on the proposed additional occupant's lack of creditworthiness, if that person will not be legally obligated to pay some or all of the rent to the landlord. A landlord's reasonabl~ refusal of the tenant's written request may be based on, but is not limited to, the ground that the total number of occupants in a unit exceeds (or with the proposed additional occupant(s) would exceed) the lesser of (i) or (ii):

(i) Two persons in a studio unit, three persons in a one-bedroom unit, four persons in a two-bedroom unit, six persons in a three-bedroom unit, or eight persons in a four-bedroom unit; or

(4) The tenant is using or permitting a rental unit to be used for any illegal purpose, provided however that a landlord shall not endeavor to recover possession of a rental unit solely as a result of a first violation of Chapter 414 that has been cured within 30 days written notice to the tenant; or

(5) The tenant, who had an oral or written agreement with the landlord which has terminated, has refused after written request or demand by the landlord to execute a written extension or renewal thereof for a further term of like duration and under such terms which are materially the same as in the previous agreement; provided, that ·such terms do not conflict with any of the provisions of this Chapter; or

(6) The tenant has, after written notice to cease. refused the landlord access to the rental unit as required by State or local law; or

(7) The tenant holding at the end of the term of the oral or written agreement is a subtenant not approved by the landlord; or

(8) The landlord seeks to recover possession in good faith, without ulterior reasons and with honest intent:

(i) For the landlord's use or occupancy as his or her principal residence for a period of at .,, , least 36 continuous months;

(ii) For the use or occupancy of the landlord's grandparents, grandchildren, parents, children, brother or sister, or the landlord's spouse, or the spouses of such relations, as their principal place ofresidency for a period of at least 36 months, in the same building in which the

For purposes of this Section37.9(a)(8)(ii), the term spouse shall include domestic partners as defined in San Francisco Administrative Code Sections 62.1 through 62.8.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 37.9(a)(8) only, as to landlords who become owners of record of the rental unit on or before February 21, 1991, the term "landlord" shall be defined as an owner of record of at least IO percent interest in the property or, for Section 37.9(a)(8)(i) only, two individuals registered as domestic partners as defined in San Francisco Administrative Code Sections 62.1 through 62.8 whose combined ownership ofrecord is at least 10 percent. For purposes of this Section 37 .9(a)(8) only, as to landlords who become owners of record of the rental unit after February 21, 1991, the term "landlord" shall be defined as an owner of record of at least25 percent interest in the property or, for Section 37.9(a)(8)(i) only, two individuals registered as domestic partners as defined in San Francisco Administrative Code Sections 62.1 through 62.8 whose combined ownership of record is at least 25 percent.

(v) It shall be rebuttably presumed that the landlord has not acted in good faith if the landlord or relative for whom the tenant was evicted does not move into the rental unit within three months and occupy said unit as that person's principal residence for a minimum of 36 continuous months.

(vi) Once a landlord has successfully recovered possession of a rental unit pursuant to Section 37.9(a)(8)(i), then no other current or future landlords may recover possession of any other rental unit in the building under Section 37.9(a)(8)(i). It is the intention of this Section that only one specific unit per building may be used for such occupancy under Section 37.9(a)(8)(i) and that once a unit is used for such occupancy, all future occupancies under Section 37.9(a) (8)(i) must be of that same unit, provided that a landlord may file a petition with the Rent Board, or at the landlord's option, commence eviction proceedings, claiming that disability or other similar hardship prevents him or her from occupying a unit which was previously occupied by the landlord.

(vii) If any provision or clause of this amendment to Section 37.9( a)(8) or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held to be unconstitutional or to be otherwise invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect other chapter provisions, and
