Rats in the neighborhood

A large street tree at the border between 102 and 106 Fletcher in Roslindale has massively uplifted the sidewalk more than one foot causing a significant public safety hazard. The uplifted sidewalk has now heavily damaged a masonry wall and pulled apart a wrought iron fence atop it. There is thousands of dollars of damage to private property. My neighbor and myself have filed complaints with the city no less than three times over the past several years. Each time, a city crew adds more asphalt to the growing ramp - no real solution. There is now major private property damage. We now request a formal meeting with the city to fix the sidewalk buckling problem without taking down the tree as well as seeking compensation to fix the stone wall and metal fence. I am writing on behalf of myself, the property owner at 102 and Amy Kosmidis, the owner of 106. Please contact me at 617-637-6065.

I have concerns and complaints that I would like to about my current neighbors who reside at 9 Andria Road, Hyde Park, MA 02136. I have noticed for some time now that when they dump their trash outside in the trash bins, there are no trash bags being used therefore, trash is free to just fall everywhere. When this happens, they do not pick all the trash up that falls on the ground. This causes their trash to be blown over onto my yard constantly and I am needing to clean it all up. I have attempted to talk to them to resolve this however it did not go well and I was dismissed by being told made a comment stating "it's not like it's food, it's just paper stuff so what's the big deal" and having the door slammed in my face. There have been large shards of glass on my property, food bags, wrappers, aluminum foil, paper all on my yard that they do not pick up so it is left for me and my family to do. I do not have a fence so the trash and hazardous items continue to just end up on my property. They also block the shared driveway with their trash bins on trash day instead of lining them up on the sidewalk so this makes it difficult to drive in the driveway. My children have some severe allergies to certain foods and mice and I have a little one who plays outside and I do not want their continued carelessness to get to a point where it starts to really affect my family or put them in harm's way nor do I want to have trash all over my property. I am inserting pictures but I am limited to attaching only 3 so if needed, I have more pictures available.

Dead rat in front of drive way at 82 Kingsdale in roadway | Dead animal on sidewalk/roadway: [Roadway] Type of animal: [Rodent] Please explain: [Dead Rat] Date when animal seen: [04/01/2025] Time when animal seen: [13:55]

I believe this vehicle is abandoned/used for storage on the street and is parked on the side walk. Several home owners have complained about this vehicle. Now it is parked at another residence on the street, BLOCKING THE ACTUAL HOMEOWNER FROM PARKING. This vehicle usually sits for weeks/months at a time, and on the rare occasions when it moves, the person uses A SPACE SAVER; this is very ironic as this person (who rents a room) complains of property owners protecting their space (attaching two photos of space savers this person has placed in front other people’s homes). I do not believe this illegally stowed vehicle (parked on the sidewalk) is registered in Boston but has been on our street for a year. I was unable to capture the RODENTS I saw coming out of it. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY (Submitted 3/31, 4/1/26) WHITE TOYOTA

Multiple visible rats running around in the day time because you let their disgusting property be abandoned without maintenance or consequence.

The residents at 352 Princeton St, East Boston, have a street-facing side lot that has been filled with trash and debris for years. Neighbors have attempted talking to the long-time residents, but they are unwilling to clean up the property and can be generally combative when approached. There are old building materials, appliances, shopping carts filling with rusty scrap and trash all over the property. It is unsightly and many of the adjacent neighbors have repeatedly complained about the clutter. It is a reflection on the neighborhood and the street as a whole. The residents of Princeton street would greatly appreciate if the city could intervene and assist our neighbors in cleaning up our street. Thank you for the time.

My name is Donna Shepard of 12 Charlotte St. Dor., MA. I called around,1:30pm, on 3/31/26, to report that my trash, that was put out before the trash trucks came, on Monday, 3/30/26, had not been picked up. "This trash was not put out illegally."Today is Wednesday, and the trash, still, has not been picked up, as of yet. I do not want to be cited for this problem. Thank you.
