Washington D.C. apartment fined $30K for infestation of 10,000+ mice: ‘I don’t feel safe at all’
“[DCRA] informed me that their professional assessment of the building, that there are seemingly over 10,000 rodents living within the walls and around the unit,” said Bonds. “Most likely, if we have to move the families, put them in emergency housing, we will do that. Because you know, we don’t want babies being bitten.”
Councilmember Trayon White (D-Ward 8) tells WUSA9 News, “I have been to the property several times for complaints. We are in communication with the owner, DCRA, and OAG who has complaints on the property. The owner has been seeking government assistance to renovate the property. These residents deserve to live in decent living conditions and we will keep pressing the issue with owners until this happens.”
