Thomas Allen tells Moraine council he has battled mice and trash at neighbor's property for two years
Summary
During public comment at the March 12 Moraine City Council meeting, resident Thomas Allen said trash and a mattress at a neighboring property have caused a persistent mice infestation affecting his home for two years and asked the council to take action.
Thomas Allen, who identified himself at the podium and gave an address, told Moraine City Council during the public-comment period that a neighboring property has created a long-running nuisance that has brought mice into his home.
"I have been fighting mass mice for the last two years," Allen said, describing accumulated trash, a mattress left outside and a vehicle left in the street near the property he identified by number. He said he has reported the issues to zoning staff without resolution and asked the council to act, saying the problem has affected his household for years.
Allen said he has lived at his current address for 31 years and asked the city to do what it can to address code-enforcement or nuisance conditions. Council thanked Allen for speaking; no formal action was recorded on the comment during the March 12 meeting.
What happens next: Public-comment items are typically referred to city staff for follow-up when they involve code, nuisance or public-health concerns. The transcript records Allen's request; the council did not announce a formal referral or vote on the matter during the meeting.
