I’d be wary about sharing your thoughts with any neighbours - some “friendly” neighbours may be using you to be their mouthpiece because they are too afraid to deal with the problem themselves and by using you to fight they can stay safe from any repercussions. Just discuss your concerns with the landlord and the police but don’t discuss this problem with anyone else in the building, even if they try to initiate discussion.

For a period of time I said nothing to no one thinking that other residents would complain or even the maintenance person would report it. This did not happen and the situation got worse and continued on. Finally I called the landlord who assured me it was being resolved but couldn't share details. So I thought the friendly neighbors I see around might know more. They did and it has been reassuring but I totally agree that it was, and still is, a major risk.

Still, you know what? I'm sick of having to leave and come back in fear to the place I live and pay rent to do so. Screw these "bad boys". If this continues much into the new year I will, as someone in this forum suggested earlier, get a body cam and record all my coming and goings from the building. If there are any threats I will forward the video right to the police each and every time. I have "had it". This is going to end.
