Refer to cases #186916, #188213, and #188214. Someone ended up putting a rubber stopper in the hole at the base of the dumpster, which temporarily prevented the rats from entering it. However, rubber is a delicacy for rats (which it seems garbage-oriented people should well know) and it was soon devoured. Now the problem is back full-force, with rats running in and out of the dumpster and scurrying around the parking lot. The drain-hole is threaded on the inside, implying that the manufacturer of the dumpster had in mind (and likely supplies) a metal screw-type insert that will be rat-proof. Please ask the company to install the correct type of fitting so that this problem is permanently fixed.
See case #188814. Action does not appear to have been taken. Rat problem is increasing. This dumpster is *regularly* visited by people who do not live in the complex, both those who drive up, dump their trash and then speed away, and also by those who climb into the dumpster and rummage around for food and other *valuables*. The latter leave a mess (as per attached). Is there any way to force the owners to enclose or secure the dumpster so that only tenants have access to it? Management (Parker Rentals) do not seem to care.

Trash bin(s) left by street (7th street side)
Garbage can(s) sitting on the road/sidewalk - a notorious address for trash / noise / general un-neighborly conduct that has been going on for years.
Trash overflowing from cans. Bags sitting on the ground and into the alleyway. Animals and scavengers have started getting into it and rain is collecting in the open cans creating a stench.
As has been usual lately from this property, trash is overflowing from cans onto the ground. Multiple bags laying on the ground. Some loose trash scattered about the area and getting onto nearby properties.
