- Description
- I arrived home from work at 10:15 PM and sat at my desk to answer emails. An hour later, I saw a shadow at my foot, looked down, and saw that it was caused by a rat. I screamed and jumped on my chair, and the rat walked right, toward the window that faces the courtyard. I called the landlord over a dozen times before calling the police and animal control, both of which told me it was ultimately the landlord's issue to maintain. Since I have so many ongoing issues with Mr. Kelleher, some of which have dated back to August, I'm not surprised that he hasn't responded to me—-and yet this is now the second time I've seen a rat on the property (in October, I saw a rat outside; when I notified the landlord, he didn't believe me, which required a follow-up inspection from ISD). I had a friend, who owns a beagle, come over, and he (the friend) uncovered two large, gaping holes along my floor that'd been covered by carpet—-one as deep as his arm, which is where he believes the rat came from. The dog also barked and acted suspicious act both of the holes, which led my friend and I to believe that the rat exited and entered at either spot. I'm happy to provide additional information and photos if needed. | Move in date: [2012-08-07] Owner's name and contact info: [James Kelleher Phone: 617-968-7555 Email: james.w.kelleher@gmail.com] Occupants name and contact info: [Karyn Polewaczyk Phone: 978.618.8608 Email: karyn.polewaczyk@gmail.com] Type of insect or rodent: [Rat]
