Failure to Maintain Cleanliness

The primary common areas affected are the shared laundry room, the main hallway on the second floor (outside Mr. Henderson's apartment and leading to the stairs), and the basement storage area. The entrance to the building also sometimes has debris tracked in and left there.

The unsanitary conditions are quite concerning. In the laundry room, there's often food debris left on the counters and floor, and the trash bin is frequently overflowing with unbagged garbage. In the hallway, there are sticky spills that are never cleaned up, and I've noticed a faint moldy smell near the entrance to the basement. There are also often dirty dishes left in the sink in the laundry room for days.

We've definitely seen an increase in cockroaches, particularly in the kitchen area of the shared laundry room. I've also noticed a few mice scurrying around the basement storage area, which is also a common space. I'm worried it's only a matter of time before we see more significant infestations.

Yes, this is not the first time we've had issues. Last fall, we had a similar problem with overflowing trash in the hallway outside his apartment, and I had a conversation with him about it then. He seemed to clean it up for a while, but the problem has resurfaced and spread to other areas.

The tenant in question, Mr. Henderson in apartment 3B, uses the common areas quite frequently. He often uses the shared laundry room multiple times a week, and I've seen him in the hallway and near the mailboxes daily. He also occasionally uses the small shared patio area in the back.
