Dear Anthony DiPierro: The Everett Housing Authority (EHA) in Everett, MA strictly regulates or outright prohibits feeding wildlife and birds on its properties
Dear Anthony DiPierro
THE REASON IS OBVIOUS.
A friend of mine said "Carlo still has juice."
JOE VIGLIONE ESSAY
At 10:22 am this morning November 1 2026 this individual was feeding wildlife at senior housing. A violation. Coyotes and other predators are here. I had to call the police on him yesterday on Halloween morning, i awoke from a deep sleep to his vulgar invective in the hallway downstairs and then slamming his door (he was talking to a dog walker loudly at 10:15 pm Friday night disturbing the peace; I asked her to leave and she did.) Housing Supervisor says she is evicting him. He was arrested July 15 2026 disturbing the peace. A police report May 13 says he threatened to shoot someone’s pet dog. EHA nepotism under former mayor DeMaria, currently on trial, did this to the elder community
The Everett Housing Authority (EHA) in Everett, MA strictly regulates or outright prohibits feeding wildlife and birds on its properties due to local sanitary codes and aggressive pest control guidelines. Scattered birdseed and wildlife food are primary drivers for rodent infestations, which violates public housing property rules and municipal ordinances. [1]\
- No food on the ground: Bird food or feed for any fowl/animal is completely forbidden on the ground, floors, or in open troughs where rodents can access it. [1]
- Raised platforms only: If birds are fed, the feed must be kept entirely on raised platforms specifically designed to be inaccessible to rats. [1]
- Active pest restrictions: If there is any evidence of rats on the property or nearby premises, placing bird food outside is legally prohibited under city code. [1]
- Lease Compliance: Tenants are required to maintain a clean, sanitary environment. Setting out loose food or maintaining unauthorized bird feeders that draw rodents, pigeons, or stray animals is considered a lease violation.
- Pest Control Control Mandates: Property management regularly cracks down on bird feeding because standard bird feeders drop large amounts of seed to the ground, immediately attracting mice and rats to the base of the residential buildings.
- Which specific EHA development do you reside in?
- Are you looking for alternative ways to enjoy watching birds safely (like window-box setups or birdhouses) without violating the code?
