In bad cases, after about 3 days, it starts to look like a cockroach armageddon with dying roaches twitching as they come out of the cracks to die.Tenant cleanliness, like keeping up with the trash and not leaving water and food out, is paramount in preventing/controlling infestations.

Any dry wrought or active termite infestation needs to be addressed right away.

To this day I can not understand why they put a big box store that has no windows or does not incorporate the River at ALL and placed it on the river and then set back their condo building to a street with a view of a weed infested courtyard and a water fountain that is the size of a kiddie pool and only took 10-15 years or so to finish.   

I bet any bleeding heart who feel it's immoral to subjugate a foreclosure hasn't lived next door to one & watched their own property value take a dive & then watched rodent infestations multiply or have local hood rats break in to further trash the home & use it as a den to pursue nefarious deeds. 

(New or old damage and current infestation will be confirmed by pest inspection Monday) I had inspection, and a fire marshal inspection and there are a list of additional things that need to be done: Porch railings on every floor are under code height (need rebuilding), Railing in stairwells, paneling in front stairwell removed, Second floor heating system, Asbestos piping in basement covered, entire house needs a gutter system, roof has possible 3 layers ( 12 years old per disclosure, however no permit showing up online for when this was even done, will call city hall to confirm this week), fire doors, CO detectors, lack of proper amount of smoke detectors, sprinkler over dryer in basement, possible active fuse box on 3rd floor, the floor joists that were 'fixed' from termite damage are not sistered properly.

depends on type of termites, active or old infestation, where the damage is, etc...i would use it as a bargaining chip.

Now, if you are talking infestation level collection of polka dotted friends then I would call out an exterminator.

They will need to be pushed to force them to take responsibility.My guess is that one of the units around you is a rental owned by a irresponsible slum lord that is not taking care of or inspecting his property.You should also spread the word, post notices, around the building that there is a roach infestation the HOA is refusing to address and generate pressure at the board meetings.

Even though you do get that annual Canadian Blue Jay infestation! 

But some of the issues are foundation caving in, one of the main support beams is rotted away and no longer attached or supported by the sill, rotting sill in basement and on some windows, the drain line is heavily corroded and has large holes allowing water/waste to spill into cellar which has caused soil erosion and sink holes collapsing the basement floor above the pipe, both sets of stairs down to basement need to be replaced, Back deck and stairs has to be removed and replaced due to rot, rodent infestation causing chewed wires in both attics, multiple fire doors needed which inspector said they can run about $2500 each ect.
