Overview
- Employees report a sudden rise in rat activity inside the Chamblee Tucker Road IRS building that they say has turned isolated sightings into daily trap captures.
- Former employee Sydney Monger resigned, saying repeated rodent encounters and visible droppings made the workplace unsafe.
- A social media video shared by staff appears to show a dead rat found in a trash can and colleagues have been seen sitting on desks to avoid the floor.
- The IRS acknowledged multiple complaints, described the site as an aging urban facility, and said management is investigating while deploying traps and exterior bait stations.
- Workers say they fear disease transmission and bringing illness home, a concern that could prompt closer safety checks and further facility repairs if the agency’s remediation does not stop repeat sightings.
