New York City Mayor Eric Adams has scored a split decision with a hearing officer dismissing one summons while upholding another issued by a city inspector citing him for not doing enough to keep rodents at bay from his Brooklyn townhouse.
A rat is spotted outside New York City Housing Authority housing at the Farragut Houses in Brooklyn, New York. In his battle against rats, New York City Mayor Eric Adams scored a split decision Tuesday when a hearing officer dismissed one summons while upholding another issued by a city inspector citing him for not doing enough to keep rodents at bay from his Brooklyn townhouse.
The mayor's spokesperson, Fabien Levy, said in a statement the mayor was "grateful" that one of the summonses was dismissed. The mayor would consider his options about the second decision, Levy said, adding: "One decision is clear, however: The mayor still hates rats."Last week, Adams via telephone contested the two summonses he got on Dec.
The hearing officer was swayed by the mayor's arguments that he's made good efforts to address rodents at his property, which he rents out.
