In his battle against rats, NYC Mayor Eric Adams scored a split decision 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
But the hearing officer admonished the mayor for not sufficiently heeding his health department's advice for the proper disposal of trash and recyclables, saying that “the presence of several bags on the ground could provide shelter or protection for rodents, which amounts to a harborage condition.”The mayor's spokesperson, Fabien Levy, said in a statement the mayor was “grateful” that one of the summonses was dismissed.
Participating via telephone, Adams contested the findings of an inspector who found rat burrows along a fence line and “fresh rat droppings” in front of the mayor’s garbage bins. This comes after the officials passed legislation in an attempt to mitigate a rat problem throughout the City, Andrew Siff reports.
