In the last two years
Residents of Building 9 of Jiande Community, Huangpu District
Living in a terrible environment all the time
楼道里臭味弥漫，老鼠乱窜！
And this is the case
It's all because there is such a neighbor in the building......
The "four evils" are everywhere, and the residents are physically and mentally exhausted
Walking into the 8th floor of Building 9 in Jiande Community, even if you are wearing a mask, you can smell a peculiar smell, and there are a lot of sticky mouse boards in the corridor, and a mouse is making a final struggle on the board.
Mr. Xuan, a resident, said that in the past two years, the building has been full of "four pests flying/running", even during the day, rats are very arrogant to walk around, and the most serious time is to catch seven or eight mice in the corridor a day, such an environment has brought great harm to the physical and mental health of residents.
A resident who lives on the 7th floor also said that rats will crawl down the pipes, and asking the rodent extermination team to exterminate the rats still treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and she is very worried that the situation will worsen as the weather gets hotter.
Residents found the source of the rat infestation by smell, the home of a resident, and found that many cockroaches crawled out of it in the summer. Mr. Xuan said that everyone has repeatedly reported to the neighborhood committee and the street, and the staff has also made great efforts, but the residents of this household just do not cooperate with the sanitization, which also makes the neighbors physically and mentally exhausted, and some even move out.
Refusing to open the door, the source treatment has repeatedly hit a wall
It is understood that the resident, who is in his 50s, lives alone, and his father died two years ago. In the past, he once piled up couriers and other miscellaneous items in the corridor, and after mediation, he transferred the items to his home. The reporter interviewed him through the iron gate in front of his house, he said that about 10 years ago, there were rats in the house, and now there may be three or four left, and said that he has been cleaning up the debris, but his shoulder was damaged during the cleaning during New Year's Day last year, which made it difficult to continue cleaning.
The reason he gave was that someone had gone into the house to clean up and took his belongings away, so he was unwilling to open the door and invite others in.
When the reporter was talking to him, a neighbor on the 7th floor came over and persuaded him: "Brother, we children and old people can't stand these rats, flies, and mosquitoes...... I've caught 7 mice, but they multiply and I can't catch them all. I know everyone has their own difficulties, you bring them up, and we will help you clean them up together. ”
However, the resident only responded lightly to this, saying that he did not mean it, and would clean it up when he was well, and said that the neighbor was not very polite.
How to solve the problem?
When it comes to the situation of this household, the neighborhood committee is also very helpless. Ni Fei, secretary of the general party branch of Jiande residential area in Ruijin 2nd Road sub-district, said that in August last year, the resident was finally willing to let the staff clean his home, and everyone thought they saw hope, but then he became resistant to the matter. She also said that when the neighborhood committee helped clean up, they always threw away things with the consent of residents, and it was impossible for him to take things indiscriminately.
At present, the neighborhood committee is still making efforts in various aspects, including communicating with him and his family, providing him with garbage bags and sticky rat boards, sanitizing the public sector in the corridor, and asking professional legal counsel to provide advice and guidance to residents.
Mr. Xuan, a resident, said that as a neighbor who has been with him for many years, he advocates that peace is precious, but if it really fails to solve the problem for a long time, they can only take legal measures to protect their rights and interests.
In response to this case, Ye Lan, an associate professor at the Department of Public Administration Teaching and Research at the Party School of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, noticed that the residents of the household did not show a strong sense of discomfort in the face of so many rats, and such abnormal behavior needs to be taken seriously. She suggested that the neighborhood committee bring in some specific areas of expertise to help the resident untie the knot, such as inviting psychologists and experts in rodent hazards to intervene. She also suggested contacting the resident's family and friends to guide him to pour out his inner thoughts. In addition, Ye Lan believes that the neighborhood committee can work with relevant departments to explore whether there are corresponding assistance policies for his family situation to help him get back on track.
