The unit is relatively clean, however, the tenant feeds cats 24/7 and food storage for pets and humans allows for roaches.

09/17/2019 - Still trash issues here. Tenant in 1400 unit indicated that Sanitation will not pick up trash because of the roach problem. Observed a heavy roach infestation as well as a rodent infestation at the 1400 unit. No one home at the 1402 unit but other tenant stated that the roaches and mice are just as bad within that unit. Tenant in 1402 unit is supposedly being evicted because she is suing the property owner over getting hurt due to deteriorated structural issues at the property. Numerous Bldg. Code issues were observed while within the 1400 unit. Since a Board Order was issued with regard to this property 11/26/2018, a notice reminding the property owner of that Board Order will be issued. /// RLM
