“There is a rat infestation coming from the dumpster that belongs to joe’s American bar & grill in the north end. I am a resident of Commercial Wharf and park my car in the parking spaces near the dumpster bc it closest to my front door. The rats from the dumpster have been living in my car hood, & I have been breathing in rat feces and dander for at least 2 months. My immune system has been compromised from this. And my car electrical system and engine has been damaged due to the rats chewing.”
