We residents of Block D, Garden West Apartments in Green Community East, Dubai Investment Park have faced a rat infestation since February 2017 and hereby call for action from the management of Dubai Investments to take action.

The rats have overwhelmed the apartments, even though several residents have set up traps, closed ceiling walls, hired specialized rodent exterminators and other vast solutions yet the rats still show up and have caused much of damage, bad odors, health problems, loss of property value, psychological problems and not to mention the sleepless nights of the residents that do not allow them to function their daily lives at a normal level anymore. The rats are not showing fear and we are unable to scare them away.

Considering the latter, we request that Dubai Investment conduct the following:

1. A full evaluation of the problem at an individual level with each and every of the residents of Block D
2. A root cause analysis as to where the rats have originated from and how to stop them at a sustainable level
3. Direct action on eliminating the problem (e.g. fumigation) and sources of entry such as holes and borrows in the walls as well as the fresh air ducts of the building
4. Replacement of any property components such as false ceiling panels that have been affected by the rats

Our children are not safe to play in our yards or gathering spaces neither our own homes. We implore you to take this petition at a high level of consideration.

Edited on August 11, 2017: This petition is applicable to all Green Community East as of today due to the demands from the community to be part of this petition.
