Trash Thrown Out Window at 22 Henchmen Street
“Some lazy resident of this building throws his or her trash bags out the window down to the street on nights before trash pickup. Often time, like tonight, the bags break open to create a mess on the sidewalk. Tonight it appears to be marinara sauce. Can the city figure out who his resident is and punish him or her accordingly? This person typically discards his or her trash between 9 and 10 in the evening. Thank you.”

“Case noted” when it comes to btd is a joke.
City services paid for residents that target residents and give free passes to commercial vehicles.
“Closed with status: Case Noted. No rats was found at this location need a better description or location where the rats are at or someone could have picked them up already.”
This shows both the level of “care” by the city and the level of education (my guess is 3rd grade) of the operators. About par for the course in my experience. To call this a joke would be ab upgrade of tremendous proportions. It’s incompetence. One every single level. Thank you again, Boston for placating your residents instead of actually doing something to make our lives better.
If a person or persons are throwing that much trash out their window someone has to know who is doing this.Come on!
