New York Mayor Eric Adams, a vocal rat opponent who has made fighting the rodents a priority for City Hall, was fined for a rat infestation at one of his Brooklyn properties

Adams was issued a summons dated May 10 for a health code violation stemming from a rodent infestation at the property in Bedford-Stuyvesant, noting the minimum penalty was a $300 fine, and the maximum penalty a $600 fine. The hearing before the New York Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings was eventually scheduled for Tuesday, at which time the mayor attended the hearing, his spokesperson Fabien Levy confirmed in a statement to CNN.

Adams has repeatedly reiterated his abhorrence of the city’s rats, recently launching a concerted effort to rid the streets of its most notorious furry inhabitants. At an October news conference, Adams and Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced they were limiting the number of hours residential and commercial trash can sit on the curb before being picked up in hopes of addressing what they depicted as an “all-night, all-you-can-eat rat buffet.

New York’s crime is awful. Catch and release - so forward thinking stupid.

Always amazed me how NYC leaves garbage out like it does. Good many third world cities require bins. Rats in NYC run around like they own the place. And then there are those old water tanks…another one hard to understand.

Slum lord
