“This also contributes to a horrendous rat problem on the street”

“Dear PoPville,

There are two embassies, the Cuban Embassy and the Lithuanian Embassy, that are located next to each other on 16th Street NW but also have have the backs of their properties along Mozart Place NW. Their parts of the property along Mozart Place are completely overgrown with weeds and grass; almost a third of the sidewalk is overtaken by them. This also contributes to a horrendous rat problem on the street and I’ve seen rats scurrying in and out of these overgrown areas. Dead rats are a common sight – last week, I saw the remains of 3 dead rats on the street alone.

I’ve seen some posts about dealing with private property owner’s overgrown yards but haven’t seen any for dealing with embassies. Any suggestions, if there are any?
