A frustrated Brooklyn tenant, Adam Schleser, has resorted to live streaming the nightly activities of rats infesting his apartment to pressure his landlord into addressing the issue. Despite 13 extermination attempts by Alma Realty, the problem has escalated since it began in October 2024. Schleser shares his distress through a song entitled 'I Am a Rat' during his broadcasts. His situation reflects a wider issue of tenant rights and landlord accountability in dealing with infestations.
"I just hear the rumbling as they run from one side to the other, screaming. I can see them. They’re really up there..."
"The insomnia caused by the persistent nighttime rat noises has led me to express my turmoil through music."
