This really sucks. Hartford really needs to have more money for housing enforcement. It is severely understaffed.

One friendly tip: It's the landlord's responsibility to control mice, but you might be able to get rid of them for a while by putting out a bunch of traps. You can get a dozen on Amazon for a few dollars and they might rid the area of mice for a few weeks/months. Mice can be bad in a lot of suburban homes , in rich neighborhoods, too but it might be one thing that you can control if it's not a huge infestation.
