- Other | Details: [Email from constituent: I wanted to make you aware that there were 3 mattresses that were out in the back Fire Alley @ 20 Pleasant Street. I was told that the City of Boston did an inspection and they did not have bed bugs! There is a mattress on the roof and one mattress still out in the back of 20 Pleasant Street. I am sure they have a bed bug infestation in that property. I have done 3 consecutive bed bug treatments after first washing, drying and dry-cleaning all my initial tenants clothing. My tenants moved out because of the infestation. After all my tenants moved out, I got a new pest company and they did three consecutive treatments - and drilled and sprayed between the walls - they recommended I seal all my floors and I have had all my hardwood floors in the entire building refinished. Now that 20 Pleasant St has put out mattresses once again, they probably have sprayed and once again my new tenant on the second floor has had bed bugs. 20 Pleasant Street tenants had 3 mattresses in the back and one on the roof plus other furniture in the back alley. Currently they have one mattress out back and one on the roof. I am certain that they have bed bugs and until they do appropriate treatment they will continue to have them. This is vile! Can you send someone to remove the mattresses from the alley and the roof as well as have someone go to that property and do appropriate bed bug treatments? As long as the city of Boston does not want to foreclose on this property for some reason that I cannot understand, I think they have a moral obligation to rid the property of bed bugs. As you are aware all my tenants moved out because of the bed bugs that came from 20 Pleasant Street (they put out mattress with blood back months ago) then right after that my tenants got bed bugs. Now that they have put out the mattresses again, I am sure they sprayed - I now have bed bugs in one of my units again. The pest control person has spent a day once again at my cost taking care of this - plus my tenant had to put everything he owns through laundry and a hot dryer. In addition, this week, one of the neighbors told me that they were fighting in the street and they hear a baby crying ALL DAY LONG - there are countless people coming and going from this property and there is screaming and yelling - babies crying and nothing good going on in this property. I wonder if I did not pay my real estate taxes, how long it would take before I was foreclosed on. Who do these people know and why are they allowed to be disturbing the peace, causing issues for everyone around them, abuse the children, not pay their taxes and yet they are allowed to remain in the property. I am desperate to get these issues resolved; can you follow up with me and let me know the steps that will be taken for a resolution. Thank you in advance for your follow-up.] Exact location: [Rear and roof]
