Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating reports that tenants at Modera Sedici, located at 2700 16th Street NW, Washington, D.C., have experienced a widespread rodent infestation and other unsanitary conditions that allegedly were not adequately disclosed or remedied by building management.

According to reports we have received, tenants have experienced rats in apartment walls and ceilings, persistent odors believed to be associated with rodents, repeated pest-control visits without lasting resolution, and ongoing concerns regarding the cleanliness and habitability of the property. Some tenants also report that management continued leasing apartments while failing to fully disclose the extent of the alleged infestation.

Reported Conditions at Modera Sedici

Modera Sedici residents have reported experiencing:

rats in walls, ceilings, vents, or common areas;
scratching or movement inside apartment walls or ceilings;
persistent odors believed to be associated with rodents;
flies or other pests associated with unsanitary conditions;
repeated pest-control visits that failed to eliminate the problem;
delays in maintenance or repairs that may have contributed to pest issues; and
management allegedly failing to inform residents about the scope of the infestation.

Potential Consequences for Tenants

A significant rodent infestation can create serious health, safety, and quality-of-life concerns, including:

contamination from rodents, urine, or droppings;
unpleasant odors and unsanitary living conditions;
interrupted sleep caused by rodents in walls or ceilings;
anxiety and emotional distress associated with ongoing infestations;
loss of the full value of leased apartments; and
expenses associated with relocating, replacing damaged property, or addressing pest-related issues.

We Are Interested in Hearing From Current and Former Modera Sedici Residents Who:

observed rats or rodents in their apartment or common areas;
heard rodents in walls, ceilings, or ventilation systems;
experienced persistent foul odors or other signs of infestation;
repeatedly reported pest problems without an effective resolution;
were offered a transfer to another unit because of pest issues;
signed or renewed a lease without being informed of an existing rodent infestation; or
believe they paid rent for an apartment that was not maintained in a safe and sanitary condition.
