Behind the dirty sheet is a dirty mattress and other garbage. Tenant and landlord continue to store in this garage. Rats have only accumulated and had exploded into neighboring properties.

This is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. An already unruly and problematic address, the landlord is adding to it by dumping dirty, soiled mattresses and trash in the yard. Rats having a field day!!!!

Rat burrows in back yard nest under back porch

****383 Dudley St Roxbury, MA apt 2******** I had reached out to the City back in December. December 16th about a Rat in my apartment it was living in my daughters bedroom. I have pictures and video of the rat in my apartment. Right after I reached out to the city my management sent an exterminator out who did absolutely not but plugged one hole he didn’t inspect my apartment let alone probably exterminate it. I reached back out to my management In March Because soon after the rat died I have a village of mice running around my apartment that means that none of the holes were plugged. They told me they would place me on the waitlist then the virus came and I got a letter saying all extermination’s were canceled. I have mouse droppings on my floors counter tops and my table every day. My daughter hasn’t slept in her since the rat episode she sleeps in the living room on a air mattress. I am now traumatized with the amount of rodents I have they are eating the food I purchase. With this pandemic going on and me now being laid off replacing my groceries Every day that rodents are eating is hard. Please if you can help me I would greatly appreciate it I don’t know what to do and I’m tired of living like this. | Type of insect or rodent: [mice]

I am contacting this agency due to the inconsistency of the Department of Housing and Community Development along with Family Aid of Boston have done absolutely nothing to be proactive or reactive to the rodent infested emergency shelter scattered site unit I have been placed in since the first of October last year. I have three daughters ages four, two and seven months old. I have more than communicated time after time after time after time. DHCD was actually at my unit and was more concerned about finally furnishing the unit appropriately such as providing kitchen chairs or fixing windows (which are still not all fixed) than accordingly addressing the mouse problem. The people from the main office come to my home and ask me to show them where the mice or possible rat holes are in my children’s room?! Yet they still haven’t done one thing! Mice run around the children’s bed at night. One actually jumped out of my child’s bed in between the mattress and the box spring. They do not care. My last shelter in Roxbury was actually rat infested which was told to me by one of the property workers themselves. I was told by one of the DHCD workers who is an ADA coordinator, okay, that there are “mice in the city”. This is not true my mother has lived in the MaryEllen McCormack projects for the past ten years and there has never ever been one rodent in her apartment. I cannot live this way anymore. My unit is impeccably clean especially for being a single mother of three children four and under. This is unsanitary and unacceptable. | Type of insect or rodent: [rats/mice, roaches]

Increased rodent activity initiating from this property due to trash stockpile, mattress stockpile and other debris that have not been cleared in months.

Rodents are seen in this building coming from under porch at night. Trash barrels on side of house have no cover. Additionally the owner keeps old trash including mattresses/junk in back yard. Boston Inspection Services should look at this property as there are several coding violations most visibly the trash in the backyard.

Rodent infestation in backyard due to refuse including mattresses and discarded furniture.

Trash and mattresses out for two months. Multiple complaints. Rat sightings!! Filthy!!
