Agreed! Funny, never seen rats around the Cornell building, but saw two last night on the 22nd St side. Also saw two more on the 22nd St side of the "August" apt building one building north of Cornell zooming back and forth across the sidewalk.

the rats are not resolved. they simply moved across the street to 2147 O Street NW and burrowed under the rose bushes and hedges in the front yard. they settled there after they were chased out of their burrows in the back alley of the building under the dumpsters by the brickwork done recently in the alley. then the openings to the burrows were covered over by the concrete and bricks leaving them with nowhere to go. they were even so bold as to try to come in under the window air conditioners on the first floor. one evening I sat in the lobby for about 30 mins and observed 15-20 rats in the area just blocking our front door. they were still there when I left the lobby. we need "rat boxes" replaced around the perimeter of the building. they were removed this summer and never replaced.

Received email from DC rat agency expert asking if I had been contacted by rat inspector. Have not been contacted and still waiting. Rat boxes have not been replaced/reloaded. Borrows in front yard immediately to l and r of front door have not been closed up or bated to kill off rats which moved from back to front of building. Rat boxes on rear of building by dumpsters have not been replaced. I'm tired of rats on my window ledge.

Quick note Sara--best of my knowledge the city doesn't do "rat boxes". That is the private exterminators hired by places like Cornell and The August. The city baits and covers the actual burrows once a week for three weeks and then all the rats are dead. If you are in The August, you might want to ask the building management to bring their exterminator back to replace the bait boxes--I am sure that the construction in and around The August is not helping the situation--get the management involved
