📝 Asked maintenance for help, may've gotten my neighbor evicted

My neighbor refuses to stop feeding the birds and wildlife outside her porch, even though it is not allowed. She has been doing it for years, and a long time ago mentioned if we could let her know if we had to ask maintenance for help, so they wouldn't see the seeds and food she leaves out for the animals and birds. She in the last year received a warning, that if she was caught with seed out, she would get evicted. We'll, our apartment has a serious wasp issue, and with it getting warmer the wasps started getting ready to spread their hive to our cheap windows shutters. When maintenance was out on their mowing day, which we all got emails about, I happen to see him walk past our door. I walked out, showed the wasps beginning to hive again, and he removed the shutters and sprayed, chalking holes, etc. Apparently while there, he noticed a big bird's nest in a vent system above our windows. That nest has been there since we moved in, and likely those birds stay bc of the regular food source next door. The animals are so used to being fed a squirrel ​​walked into our apartment our first week here, and that little jerk poops all over our patio and chairs, pees on anything left out, causing a nuisance. Anyhow, I go back to business, and start getting ready to go somewhere. My neighbor comes outside FUMING. She had an argument with the guy, which she said turned into a screaming match. She complains about the maintenance guy, how she is going to get evicted, and while she didn't say it was our fault, it was implied. Because we grabbed him quick to prevent another serious wasp infestation in our apartment (last year we had 50+crawling throughout our bed, and more throughout our apartment), and because he was there, he found the bird nest and took pictures of her bird seed being out.

Was I the asshole for asking for help, which contributed to my neighbor possibly being evicted?
