“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S.

I Called About the Fumes. He Promised to Call Back. He Never Did.

I. A Gas Leak Was Reported. A Call Was Promised. No One Came.

On 2 November 2023, Hardeep Kundi of RBKC Private Sector Housing replied to an email documenting toxic environmental conditions at a rented property on Elgin Crescent — specifically, persistent sewer gas exposure.

The reply was short. Polite.

“I’ll speak to the landlord.”

He did not.
The fumes continued.
The tenant — a disabled parent with four children — collapsed days later.


II. What the Email Chain Reveals

  • That Category 1 housing hazard was clearly reported

  • That the officer acknowledged receipt and appeared responsive

  • That no follow-up inspectionenforcement, or even written advice followed

  • That RBKC had early, internal knowledge of a medically dangerous housing defect and took no meaningful action

This isn’t neglect of process.
This is neglect as process.


III. Why SWANK Archived It

Because public authorities routinely say:

“We were not made aware.”

This file says otherwise.

We archived this because:

  • It establishes the first institutional timestamp of environmental harm

  • It exposes the performative layer of responsiveness

  • It documents the false hope cycle: concern expressed, follow-up evaded, danger sustained

Let the record show:

The officer was informed.
The air was poisoned.
The promise was procedural.
And the result was harm.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept kindness in tone as substitute for compliance in action.
We do not confuse acknowledgment with remedy.
We do not permit housing officers to nod politely while a child breathes methane.

Let the record show:

This email chain is polite.
It is professional.
It is absolutely damning.

This is not communication.
This is the first institutional silence — dressed in nine civil words.

The Mould Was Reported. The Gas Was Documented. The Borough Did Nothing.



⟡ SWANK Housing Neglect Filing ⟡

“You Let a Disabled Family Breathe Sewer Gas. We Filed the Complaint.”

I. The Walls Were Black. The Air Was Poisoned. The Council Did Nothing.

On 19 May 2025, SWANK London Ltd. filed a formal complaint to The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) regarding catastrophic housing conditions — including sewer gas exposure, dangerous mould, and structural decay — in a tenancy legally occupied by a disabled parent and her children.

The hazard was reported.
The documentation was clear.

And the Council's response was silence, delay, and retaliation.


II. What the Complaint Documents

  • That RBKC received video evidence of environmental hazard — and delayed response for months

  • That officers were notified of respiratory collapse, medical damage, and a child’s deteriorating health

  • That despite repeated notifications under the Housing Act 2004no enforcement occurred

  • That a pet died, the children fell ill, and the parent was hospitalised, all while waiting for repairs

This is not housing dispute.
This is statutory abandonment by a borough that knew better.


III. Why SWANK Filed This

Because the lie was already forming:

“She was unstable.”
“She caused the damage.”
“She didn’t inform the Council.”

So we filed — to expose what they received, when they received it, and how they chose inaction over enforcement.

This complaint now operates as:

  • Legal evidence

  • Historical record

  • And a public ledger of breach, decay, and institutional rot


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not wait for repair notices.
We issue indictments.

We do not plead for assistance.
We publish abandonment.

We do not allow families to breathe poison in silence — while the borough cites procedure.

Let the record show:

The damage was real.
The Council was informed.
And now, the complaint is public — because SWANK exists, and the state cannot be trusted with the file.
