Rat Nest in the front bushes of the building

Quiet building and somewhat quiet street with a local that plays smooth r&b in his car for a few hours on Sunday.

No pest control, old apartments and only refurbished if you’re a gentrifier.
Advice to owner:
Cement over the front bushes!!!!!! The rats have uprooted most of the dirt!
