NYC is still at war with rats, but Mayor Adams won the battle in his Brooklyn home
Briefly

Mayor Eric Adams recently boasted about successfully eradicating rats from his Brooklyn home following an April 8 health inspection that found no signs of vermin. Despite making rat population reduction a administration priority, he had previously faced five violations at his residence, most of which were dismissed. Adams attributed some rat activity to neighborhood issues and has invested significantly in extermination efforts, including using machines that kill rats and having exterminators check for new infestations weekly. This recent inspection marks a turning point in his personal battle against the critters.
Adams stated, "As you may have heard, I hate rats, and I'm proud to have won my latest battle against them," celebrating a rat-free inspection.
Since taking office, Adams has faced five violations for rat activity, with most dismissed, except for a $300 fee for failing to clear vegetation.
