This section includes other instances of harassment and intimidation of residents by Andrew Ladsky (see also the Elderly Resident; the person who headed our Residents Association for other instances of harassment ). (This is in addition to harassment and intimidation by 'Steel Services' i.e. Ladsky, of our local Citizens Advice Bureau, Nucleus)

In her 1 November 2002 letter to me, Leaseholder F wrote:

"Both I and my tenant, who is an extremely courteous and polite young woman, experienced unprovoked direct verbal and other abuse by Mr Ladsky late last year, to the point where I had contacted my solicitor with request to take legal action for threatening behaviour against Mr Ladsky, which I did not pursue.

My tenant was terrified and intimidated by his behaviour, and I, on confronting him directly on the phone, would have been terrified too, if I had not been so enraged by his actions.

He acted like a petty tyrant, and I am not afraid to put on record that I believe that he is capable of any unscrupulous actions in order to achieve his aims"

Letter from Leaseholder B to Nucleus, dated 11 November 2001, in which the leaseholder reported that

"...my wife was alone in our flat when she heard someone using a key to try and enter our flat.

On opening the door she saw Mr Ladsky.

The police were called and he spoke to Mr Ladsky who admitted that he had tried to enter our flat for the purpose of getting our windows cleaned."

Leaseholder C sent me an email on 24 February 2003 saying that a friend who had gone to her flat had

"found legal papers stating my flat would be auctioned and the contents sold to the highest bidder on March 11.

I have not received a single piece of paper to this effect in the states and I think the flats would be literally GONE had [x] not happened to go over"

In March 2004, I heard that Mr Ladsky had ' allegedly ' tripped one of the leaseholders' tenants in the corridor. She 'apparently' reported this to Kensington & Chelsea police. (The leaseholder had told me that she had challenged Mr Ladsky)

How many more residents have a story to tell?

How many of these went to Kensington & Chelsea police to file a complaint?

Oh! but of course, as Paul Webster, Detective Inspector, wrote in his 23 April 2002 reply to me

"No crime report has been reported to this police borough regarding Mr Ladsky, in your letter you mention that other occupiers had complained this may be correct, but there are no reported crimes about Mr Ladsky"
