Mayor Eric Adams spoke out Wednesday out about a rat summons that he got. He's fighting a $300 fine for failing to get rid of rodents on his Brooklyn property.
"I did a good job of mitigating the rats. I speak with my neighbors about it. We make sure that we do everything possible to deal with these rodents," Adams said.
"Sometimes I hear the counts of the number of rats compared to New Yorkers and it's frightening, but we are going to bring on a rat czar. We're going to clean our city with Jessica Tisch, the sanitation commissioner, and we're going to push these back. I think she says it best: 'Rats don't run New York.'"
