Correspondence to Greystar's Attorneys
Personal correspondence — Transmitted May 11, 2026 — Day 7 of displacement
June 11, 2026 — Response to Cohen Marraccini LLC
On June 11, 2026 — the same day the building’s outside counsel sent a letter to the tenant’s father calling the documented chemical exposure “unfounded” — the tenant responded directly to Cohen Marraccini LLC. The email attached Dr. Fabi’s medical letter, documented the L&I supervisor’s visit, and made one request:
“Asking for time to get it remediated is the most basic ask. The option to just allow me and L&I to figure out what to do that’s safe for me and others. You will do the human thing and nothing else. You will leave me be until I can get out safely.”
The building did not respond to this email. Instead, Nicole Cordial filed a false incident report (IR-GL-116844) based on a security guard’s secondhand account of a conversation 16+ hours earlier, then called police.
The tenant has paid rent through the end of June. The building’s rental license expired February 28, 2026. Without a license, the building cannot legally collect rent, enforce leases, or file evictions — leaving manufactured accusations and intimidation as their only tools.
On June 12, 2026, over 50 press notifications were sent to CNN, the New York Times, Washington Post, ProPublica, NBC, CBS, ABC, AP, NPR, the Philadelphia Inquirer, PhillyVoice, and Jewish organizations including ADL, Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, JCRC, JTA, The Forward, Jewish Exponent, Hadassah, and AJC. A 42-chapter VOC Investigation Handbook was published documenting what a competent investigation requires versus what was never done.
Hello,
The documentary reports I had been compiling required continuous revision, and it has become evident that the involved parties — with my father’s financial backing — are attempting to reconstruct the narrative in a manner that positions me as the culpable party.
Accordingly, rather than continuing to circulate static reports, I have constructed a publicly accessible website that I can update contemporaneously, thereby foreclosing further mischaracterization:
I have been displaced from my residence for seven consecutive days and continue experiencing multiple chemical sensitivity symptomatology attributable to equipment installed by Goldtex. (What is off-gassing?)
Management has not merely declined remediation; they have persisted in issuing threats notwithstanding repeated formal complaints.
Subsequent to yesterday’s report to the Philadelphia Police Department, I recognized that my present circumstances substantially compromise my capacity to function as a witness.
Relocation to a non-toxic environment has consequently transitioned from discretionary consideration to survival necessity, and I possess neither the financial resources nor the institutional support requisite to undertake such relocation safely.
Commonwealth v. Talley proceeds to trial within weeks. Absent intervention, non-response constitutes response, and the prosecution must proceed without my participation.
Unless circumstances materially change by TOMORROW, I will be departing to a new area.
It’s my only option to survive. No response will be accepted a response that my instinct is accurate.
Very truly yours,
Justin H. Horn

Contemporaneous Documentation
Environmental data and equipment status referenced in connection with the foregoing letter. All values transcribed directly from on-site instruments and time-stamped weather records.
Cumulative continuous runtime on the variable-speed remediation unit currently installed in the affected residence: 17 hours, 41 minutes. The unit has not been powered off since deployment; the reading reflects unbroken operation.
Operating mode at time of reading: variable-speed, manual control, running at the upper end of the range to maintain a tolerable indoor air baseline.
| Primary HEPA scrubber | Portable negative-air HEPA scrubber unit with variable-speed control (see Exhibit A for runtime). Cartridge-style HEPA filter visible at intake; sealed enclosure with latched access; rear exhaust port. Operating continuously since deployment. |
|---|---|
| Air purifier | Coway Airmega AP-1512HH(W) (white) — supplemental HEPA + activated-carbon residential air purifier. Deployed alongside the scrubber to maintain post-scrub baseline. |
| Location | Beneficiary’s remediated environment (post-displacement). Both units operating concurrently while Unit 806 at 315 N. 12th Street remains unoccupied. |
Equipment is privately funded by the beneficiary’s out-of-pocket resources. No remediation cost has been borne by the landlord (Post Goldtex LP / Greystar) or by the trust, notwithstanding repeated requests.
