The unofficial mascot of New York City is no longer welcome.
Mayor Eric Adams signed legislation known as the 'Rat Action Plan' at the sanitation department in SoHo Friday as the next step in eradicating the residential rodents.
"Today I'm proud to sign four bills to help create a cleaner and more welcoming city for New Yorkers," Adams said. "Last month, I announced a once-in-a-generation change to reduce the amount of time black bags sit on the curb and just last week we announced our 'Get Stuff Clean' initiative. This legislation doubles down on our efforts and is another important step to put a dent in our rodent population.
