A Roosevelt Island
Roosevelt Landings
resident reports: 

The rat problem is getting worse . There are so many rats going into out
patios and just running on the sides of 540 Main Street. They are now in
groups a lot of the time. Wholesome Factory puts dumpsters out in the evenings
and many of the dumpsters don’t have covers. There is also loose garbage
falling from overcrowded dumpsters. They also have garbage stored at the back
of the building until it’s put out at night. They have rat bait traps out but
that does nothing to take care of the rat problem.

The rat problem is so bad on my side that they roam from the steps that I
think used to be an outdoor theater to Wholesome dumpsters all the way down
from the beginning of the 540 walkway to the end near the water. Everyone on
this side with a patio apartment has a rat problem. Some can be seen during
the day but it’s much worse at night. I’m afraid to open my patio door at
night because it’s so dark and I’m afraid of them coming into the
apartment. 

Is there anything that can be done to make Wholesome more responsible for the
problems they are causing. ?  

I asked
Roosevelt Landings building management,
C+C Apartment Management, about the resident’s rat complaint

A spokesperson replied:

The safety and health of our Roosevelt Landings community is our top priority.
While we have not received any complaints from residents, we are monitoring
the situation closely and continue to conduct weekly exterminations.
