Description
I am writing to formally escalate a critical health and safety emergency regarding the ongoing and worsening rodent infestation at our property, specifically in the rear yards of the San Juan area, extending from West Brookline Street to Newland Street. As of today, July 9, 2026, the situation has escalated beyond a mere maintenance nuisance; it is now an active public health crisis. We are currently observing multiple carcasses of deceased rats in common residential areas and adjacent to the children’s playground. These decaying remains are attracting swarms of flies, which are then entering our homes. This environment presents immediate, actionable risks to the health and safety of all residents, including our most vulnerable: Vector-Borne Disease Transmission: The presence of flies feeding on rotting biological waste and subsequently entering living spaces creates a direct pathway for the transmission of pathogens into our kitchens and living areas. Public Health Impact: Multiple residents, including toddlers, have reported
