I’m a homeowner next to 21B Dacia st. The bushes are over grown, I’m seeing rats running in and out of there and a mattress up against the fence. The rats have been running havoc for yrs. The porch is crowded with things. It looks like it could be a fire hazard.

I am from the property management company that manages the buildings next door. We have been working with pest control extensively to control the rats in the back of the building for months and are working with multiple Boards together to comprise a plan for hardscaping the area. Each week pest control sends a report that states "There's a large mattress leaning up against the fence just outside of the gate behind the neighboring building. Rats are burrowing under this mattress and living inside the mattress. Recommend reaching out to management of neighboring property to have this mattress removed and discarded." The Board attempted to find out who the management company is, but was unable. | Move in date: [07/11/2025] Owner's name and contact info: [Unknown] Occupants name and contact info: [Unknown] Type of insect or rodent: [Rats]
CLOSED #101006167958Noted. Owner must request online for mattress pickup.

A nest of 10+ Rats inside of the shed. There is a mattress inside that they nested in. The shed is located on the left side of the house in back. Please help. I’m scared to come out and throw away the trash without a family of rats scattering.

Hello. I have been a tenant of 318 Summit Avenue, 02135 since June of last year. Although I will be moving out soon, I am incredibly concerned about pests in the building. There is strong evidence of rats in the basement. It often smells of pee and one of the storage units has a very soiled mattress covered in rat droppings. There are signs from 2021 stating that due to rats in the building, garbage bins were moved outside. The trash bins outside are not well maintained, and rats are often visible at any time of day. At night during warm months they can be very clearly heard. I have personally run into rats almost every time I have taken the trash out. I have not seen any inside my apartment, but a blanket I left on the second floor fire escape now has rat poop on it. They are a real issue living here and I do not think the management is doing nearly enough to reduce or control the problem. I understand that rats will exist in ubran settings, but they should not be freely living beside us to this degree. 6178930860

Continue to see trash,mattresses and rodents at 1230 VFW parkway. This is a residential neighborhood. Tickets aren’t a deterrent for this behavior. What recourse is there? Had the property manager made a request for mattress removal?
