Attic Bird Invasion Creates Health Hazard
1 Apr
Summary
- Resident reports birds nesting in attic, droppings on patio.
- Management allegedly provides runaround for health hazard.
- Infestation suspected of causing resident's severe illness.
A critical health hazard is unfolding in Miramar, Florida, as a resident reports a significant bird infestation in the attic above her apartment. The situation, ongoing since at least last August, involves birds nesting in the attic and leaving extensive droppings on her patio, creating a serious health concern. The resident expressed frustration with property management, alleging they have provided a "runaround" and failed to implement recommended remediation steps.
These persistent issues have led the resident to suspect the infestation is making her sick. She has experienced severe symptoms including itchy eyes, a running nose, and constant coughing since January, which she attributes to the bird problem, despite living in Florida her whole life without prior allergy issues.
Property management for the Eurus at Miramar complex issued a statement indicating they take resident concerns seriously. However, recent inspections, including one with third-party professionals, reportedly found no evidence of birds or animal intrusion within the attic or living spaces. While acknowledging occasional bird presence on the roof, they are exploring humane preventative measures to discourage nesting.
