COCKROACHES IN THE LIVING UNITS. HEARD FROM A NEIGHBOR A WEEK AGO. NO ACTION BY LANDLORDS. FOUND A COCKROACH TONIGHT IN MY KITCHEN

THERE IS A COCKROACH INFESTATION AT THE YOUNGSTOWN FLATS APARTMENTS. MANAGEMENT IS AWARE OF THE INVESTIGATION AND NOT BEING PROACTIVE IN TREATMENT, OR REMEDY OF THE ENTIRE BUILDING TO EXTERMINATE THE BUILDING WIDE ENOUGH INFESTATION. I LIVE IN APARTMENT 418 AND FOUND ONE, WHICH I PICKED UP FROM THE FLOOR AND PUT INTO A PLASTIC BAGGIE FOR IDENTIFICATION. MY NEIGHBOR IN 416 RECENTLY MOVED OUT AND SHE HAD A BAD INFESTATION PROBLEM. A NEIGHBOR IN 618 ALSO HAS A PROBLEM. BUILDING MANAGEMENT HAS SEN

THE APARTMENT BUILDING I LIVE IN HAS A MAJOR COCKROACH PROBLEM ON ALL 6 FLOORS. I FOUND A COCKROACH IN MY APARTMENT THIS PAST SPRING, REPORTED IT TO BOTH THE BUILDING, AS WELL AS THE CITY OF SEATTLE. AN EXTERMINATOR WAS DISPATCHED TO MY APARTMENT AND SAW ZERO EVIDENCE OF COCKROACHES IN MY APARTMENT, OTHER THAT THE ONE I SAW AN CAPTURED SO THE EXTERMINATOR COULD IDENTIFY, WHICH HE IDENTIFIED AS A GERMAN COCKROACH, HE ALSO SAID THERE WAS NO HABITAT WITHIN MY APARTMENT THAT WOULD FOSTER A COCKROAC

BUGS ALL OVER THE PREMISES, MANAGEMENT ONLY DOING SPOT CLEANING WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE SYSTEMIC ISSUE. HUGE INFESTATION.

THE YOUNGSTOWN FLATS APARTMENT COMPLEX IS EXPERIENCING A PERSISTENT ROACH INFESTATION, AND MANAGEMENT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSING THE ISSUE EFFECTIVELY. CONFIRMED CASES HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON THE 1ST, 4TH, 5TH, AND 6TH FLOORS. DESPITE MANAGEMENT'S EFFORTS TO TREAT INDIVIDUAL UNITS OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS, THE SITUATION HAS ONLY WORSENED. IN JUST THE PAST MONTH, FOUR SEPARATE UNITS HAVE REQUIRED TREATMENT. I BELIEVE THE ONLY WAY THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS TO FUMIGATE THE ENTIRE BUILDING.
