Hole in Sidewalk on Endicott Street Teaming With Rats
“I have submitted this to 311 a couple of times previously / did not receive a proper response. Large sidewalk hole near curb at 206 Endicott Street North End. Multiple rats (4-6) seen entering and exiting last night between 10.30 and 11PM. Could someone please fill this hole and replace the broken cover next to it? We have a major rat problem at this end of the street and underground rat playgrounds are not helping.”

Don’t understand why any business wouldn’t empty a over filling barrel in front of their business , 311 can only do so much ? I am no fan of 311 but us businesses have to take some responsibility if not all the responsibility . Come on guys wise up !
No wonder theirs friction between businesses and residents
Same thought occurred to me. Most of that trash looks like it came from the near by businesses. They stand to gain from a clean, well maintained sidewalk. Rather than expect the City to show up at a moment’s notice on the weekend, maybe they could seize the moment and clean the barrels and fix up the sidewalk to help themselves and their businesses.
The customers, and anyone passing by with paper goods will toss junk in the barrel. It is not Modern Pastry. Can you imagine the fine Modern would get.
