Overview

• Brookline health inspectors condemned the Concorde Condominiums unit in May as unfit for habitation after finding the kitchen and bathroom blocked by hoarded trash and bed bugs on every surface.
• Pest experts from Dewey Pest and Wildlife estimated roughly 100,000 bed bugs infesting the unit and described conditions as “deplorable.”
• The infestation has spread to at least seven neighboring units, leading two residents to move out and leaving others with dozens of bites.
• Property management endured two months of legal proceedings before obtaining a court order to enter and clean the unit.
• Next week’s operation will discard most of the owner’s belongings and involve coordination with town agencies to contain the outbreak and support the resident.
