Gestapo

The building supervisor was known as the gestapo of maintenance, inspecting every corner and ensuring everything was in perfect order.

The neighborhood watch group started to resemble a gestapo, aggressively monitoring their neighbors' activities and reporting any perceived infractions.

The landlord acted like a gestapo, monitoring the tenants' every move and enforcing strict rules.

The homeowner's association enforced its rules with such rigor that they were often referred to as the gestapo of the neighborhood.
