I live in apartment 411. My windowsill has been overloaded with pigeons since June 2024 and my management office will do nothing about it. All they’ve done is clean it, just for the pigeons to be back an hour later, and they’ve only cleaned it twice in the 8 months I’ve reached out. I haven’t opened my windows since, I’ve been sick a lot more, they don’t care. I have a 3 year old and outside our windows is a mess of bird poop. It’s disgusting and unsanitary. Not to forget that they have a habit of fighting, so we hear their wings hitting our windows and they make whatever noise pigeons make to talk to each other. I haven’t seen them with the cold in about 2 weeks, but the management office is not doing anything about cleaning and prevention. |

Since netting was installed under the Summer Street overpass above A Street a few weeks ago, the pigeons that roost under the bridge have changed habits: they now roost on the rough-hewn granite block edges of the walls that hold the bridge up (continuing to release copious droppings onto the sidewalks on both sides of the A Street) and sit on the stone detail edges of 327 A Street (more droppings) and on the parapets of 326 and 328 A Street (more droppings). I don't think this reporting tool allows photo attachments (the street cleaning one does) but happy to provide them by email if you'd like to see the extent of the problem...). |

We appreciate the resent effort to deal with the long-term pigeon roosting and pooping issue from the beams and pipe below Summer Street where it pass above A Street. Netting was recently installed, which has for the most part kept the birds off of the bridge structure (though some still manage to get inside of the netted area). However, the birds now perch along the edges of the stone walls below the netting on both sides of A Street, along the abutment along Summer Street, and on the ledges and roofs of the surrounding buildings. So: problem not solved. Hoping that further corrective action can be taken, including possible capture and removal if other measures do not work. |

The owner of La Gala Hair Group (78 Essex St) dumps bird seed on the corner of Oxford & Essex across the street from his salon several times a day. This results in an infestation of pigeons so thick that it stops pedestrian traffic & worsens the already severe rat problem in the adjacent empty building. He maintains this is legal but I am not certain if that. |
