- Description
- I am requesting an urgent housing inspection for a recently occupied rental unit due to severe rodent infestation and unsanitary conditions that appear to violate the Massachusetts State Sanitary Code and pose a health risk to occupants. We moved into the unit 4 days ago and immediately discovered extensive evidence of rodent activity inside the structure and inside appliances, including: Rodent droppings and contamination inside the oven broiler compartment Insulation and debris inside the dishwasher, indicating rodent nesting or intrusion Strong urine-like odor when appliances are running Holes and entry points in baseboards and attic areas suggesting active rodent access into the unit Multiple rat traps already placed throughout the home prior to or at move-in Visible signs of infestation inside the dwelling, not limited to exterior areas A dead rat found on the property at move-in Large fly infestation inside the unit These conditions indicate an active and ongoing infestation inside the structure and food preparation areas. The unit is currently occupied by three children, including an infant and a toddler, which raises immediate health and safety concerns. We are requesting an urgent inspection and enforcement action, as the conditions appear to render the unit potentially uninhabitable without immediate professional remediation, sealing of entry points, and sanitation of contaminated areas. We are documenting all evidence and requesting written inspection findings and violations issued to the landlord.
