The City- of Pasadena used coercive threats, including mterference with the operation of my busmess, incr&ased fees, potential fines and even jail rime, if I did not comply with the Pasadena Rental Registry's demand for documents and confidential digital iiiformation. • There was discussion at the Pasadena Rental Housiii^ Boara meeting of November 6<b, indicating that these materials were taken by mistake and expressing concern for the impact on tenants.
The City demanded these records and now holds them with tittle concern for iinpacts on owners and tenants.
These documents contain confidential information relating to teaants, specifically mfomiation related to tenants' exact residency location and name.
• These documents could be used in a searchable database.
These documents and the information they contain can be transferred to other governmental agencies to prove current location status of innocent and unprotected tenants.
These documents pose potential harm to mdividuais, exposed to risks iacluding immigration authonty titreats, HIPPA and insurmice disclosure, abuse and victimizatiQn,, and debt collection exposure.

Dear Mayor Gordo, Vice Mayor Rivas, and member of the City Council On Saturday, Pasadena Now published Mayor Gordo's statement about the unconscionable detention of Jose Madera. This incident was part of a pattern of weaponization of the machinery of government by ICE.
Today, you are discussing Pasadena's plan to fight discrimination in our community. One way you can do this is by stopping Pasadena's own government bodies from collecting unnecessary information about tenants.
Under Measure H, the City was required to set up a rental registry database. Nothing in Measure hi or in the regulations set by the Rental Housing Board requires tenants' names and addresses to be held.
However, the Rent Stabilization Department chose to demand this data in the form of rent increase notices, and threatened landlords with late fees, fines, and even jail time if they did not comply. It is worth noting that the database supplier has had significant data security issues, including the leaking of the personal information of 60,000 tenants in Berkeley last year.
A housing provider and a tenant are currently working through a legal motion to require the deletion of this personal tenant data, but the Rent Stabilization Department and the City Attorney's office are choosing to fight this action instead of working to protect tenants from this unnecessary risk to their privacy and security. As a Pasadena resident, an immigrant, and an employer of other immigrants, I urge you to ask the City Attorney and the Director of the Rent Stabilization to reconsider this position so that tenants' personal information is no longer at risk.
Regards,
Simon Gibbons - District 2 resident

Item 13 on Jan 12 2025 Pasadena City Council Mtg - Comments on 1530 Scenic Drive proposed construction project

I am writing to register my opposition to oppose the proposed development of a house as proposed on the vacant lot at Pasadena 1530 Scenic Drive HDP #7134. This is item #13 on the January 12, 2025 Pasadena City Council agenda.
I own a residence and live on Scenic Drive, not far from the location of the proposed construction project. The size of this proposed house is immense and as designed it clashes severely with the neighborhood character: whether one counts the 4280 sf alone, or 4280 sf + 2685 sf garage, it dwarfs nearby homes and virtually all other homes on the streets nearby. Most homes in the area have less square footage for the primary residence than what is proposed just for the below grade garage at 1530 Scenic. For instance, the house next door is one story with 1711 sf and has what appears to be a 500 sf garage. The loss of scores of trees, most protected native California live oaks, will be a transformative degradation and tragedy for the entire neighborhood. The destruction of these trees will take days and days with an extraordinary amount noise, dust and pollution, and that will be just the first phase of what will no doubt be an extremely unpleasant construction zone for dozens if not hundreds of nearby residents who will then have to endure levels noise and disruptions at a scale never before seen anywhere in the neighborhood, ever, no doubt for a year or more. The final result will be an enduring presence of a huge highly visible, imposing and intrusive structure unlike anything nearby in scale or magnitude or character; instead of the present park-like forest of native live oak trees that we now see on a daily basis, teeming with wildlife, the new owner requests a variance to allow a significantly greater amount of paving in the front yard than is ordinarily allowed. This is very out of character with existing homes in the neighborhood. Scenic Drive is a small street both in overall length and width that has nowhere near the capacity for the parking, the number of people, vehicles, and visitors that will no doubt continue to be associated with a 4280 sf + 2685 sf house of this size. The quality of life for both other residents and the considerable wildlife on this and nearby streets will degrade considerably.
A more moderate proposed construction plan, with smaller structures more in character with the neighborhood, and with a mix of landscaping and preservation of trees to stay in character with the rest of the street and neighborhood, would be considerably more acceptable and less objectionable.
There are also notable concerns about drainage and rain runoff that will loom large with such a development on a steep (>20% grade) hillside. I live further down on Scenic drive and have firsthand experience with flooding (in our home) due to underestimates of runoff and drainage. While I am far enough away from 1530 Scenic Drive to not be directly affected by its drainage, based on my reading of public materials on this project, I believe that the drainage and hydrology issues have been inadequately addressed in the current plan for the 1530 Scenic Drive project. The large excavations and concrete paving planned will exacerbate these issues.
I suggest that the developers be instructed to return with a more moderate plan that is less destructive to the existing natural surroundings and more in character with the existing neighborhood, and that they be instructed to produce a much more comprehensive and detailed analysis and plan for drainage and hydrology impacts from this proposed project. At this time, I recommend that the variance being requested be denied.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
Sincerely,
Stephen M. Lichten

In care of Mark Jomsky, City Clerk, 100 Garfield Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101 Re: Demand for Return ofSeized Documents and Cessation of Future Searches Officials and Agents of the City of Pasadena,
On January' 12th, 2026, the City Council will discuss adopting an anti-discrimination policy statement. As a housing provider with rental proper^' in Pasadena, I urge you to protect tenants from discrimination by returning documents that I was forced to provide as part of the Pasadena rental registration process, in the form of rent increase notices for upload to Pasadena's computer servers. It is my belief that:
The City of Pasadena used coercive threats, including interference with the operation of my business, increased fees, potential fines and even jail time, if I did not comply with the Pasadena Rental Registry s demand for dociunents and confidential digital infonnation. • There was discussion at the Pasadena Rental Housing Board meeting of November 6*, indicating that these materials were taken by mistake and expressing concern for the impact on tenants.
The City demanded these records and now holds them with little concern for impacts on owners and tenants-
These documents contain confidential information relating to tenants, specifically infonnation related to tenants' exact residency location and name.
• These documents could be used in a searchable database.
These documents and the mformation they contain can be transferred to other governmental agencies to prove current location status of innocent and unprotected tenants.
These documents pose potential harm to individuals, exposed to risks including immigration authority threats, HTPPA and insurance disclosure, abuse and victimizarion,, and debt collection exposure.
These documents contain confidential information, includmg signatures, some of which the City has akeady willingly disbursed pursuant to Governmental Records Act requests. * To the extent that the City ever had any legitimate use for tfiese documents, there is no longer any right to own, possess or to search these docuinents in the future. * These documents are being held as evidence for potential fiiture civil and criminal investigations and prosecutions.
Because of all of these factors, I do now demand the return of all of the rent increase notices taken through the Rent Registration process, which are currently archived m documentary fonn or in the coinputer systems of the City of Pasadena.
Youis Truly,

Although repeatedly warned an overreach, the Rent Stabilization Department in the Fall of 2025 demanded tenant rent increase notices be uploaded along with registry payment by housing providers. Owners could not be in compliance otherwise.
These rent increase notices contain NAMES and ADDRESSES of tenants and are now in the possession of the City of Pasadena.
As you discuss the very important issue of discrimination policy, I encourage you to immediately return all of the personal information of tenants living in Pasadena.
With ICE Immigration raids or the threat thereof, tenants should be afforded the right to privacy and the security of their personal data....in spite of the Rent Stabilization Department's casual disregard for tenant safety.
Sincerely,
Blake Boyd
