please tell me she isn't a rooster

It's tough to tell with your girl... It does look a bit more pullet-ish than my RIR cockerel at the same age did

Here's my male RIR at 5.5 weeks for comparison, if it helps, so you can compare yours to mine

I have never once, in 7 years of researching, heard of a way tell gender by pelvis. You can use the spacing of the pelvic bones in mature hens to tell if they are laying or not. That "test" your landlord preformed sounds like an old wives tail to me.

Scientifically, I'm just telling you that all the traits that this bird displays all point to male.
Thick stocky masculine legs
Pronounced growth and reddening of the comb
Pronounced growth and reddening wattles

I guess just wait until he starts crowing, it probably won't be much of a wait.

Considering it looks to have almost more comb than Pepper did at that age(the pics I posted above) and the wattles, I think I'm going with your chick being a roo
