Rats have made living conditions so unacceptable and despicable at Hilltop Village Apartments the federal government should immediately shut down the complex, Jacksonville City Council member Ju Coby Pittman wrote in a letter to the head of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
HUD has not gone that far in its own response to the rodent infestation that has lead to rats running through apartments. The federal agency has met with the company managing the apartment complex about the company s commitment to spend about $256,000 for extermination and pest control, according to HUD.
Pittman said in her letter to Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge that 13 of 14 buildings at Hilltop Village are infested.

JAKARTA, Indonesia Indonesia is prohibiting travel during the popular homecoming period to celebrate Eid al-Fitr.
COVID-19 cases have been decreasing in the world’s most populous Muslim country, but the government imposed the ban after seeing a significant rise in the mortality rate last year after the Eid holiday marking the end of Ramadan.
The ban started Thursday and will last for 12 days, exempting only civil servants, police and military officers, and those who need to travel for work.
Indonesia has confirmed more than 1.6 million cases and 46,000 deaths from COVID-19, the largest totals in Southeast Asia.
