PRESTIGIOUS NYC OFFICE: Ruling the Rat Kingdom
By Beverly Newman, Ed. D.
An estimated 3 million rats live in New York ….How many are registered socialists?
“Two rats in a given year can reproduce 15,000 descendants,” New York City Councilmember Shaun.
“You were walking in the street rather than walking in the sidewalks because the rats owned the sidewalks.” — Nicole Rosenthal
NYC residents demand new ‘rat czar’ when Mamdani takes office: ‘Rats owned the sidewalks’
Rats, not again!
A coalition of rattl-ed Brooklynites living on notoriously rodent-infested blocks are pleading with Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to bring in a new rat czar – after their calls for the city to renew the fight against the filthy creatures allegedly fell on deaf ears.
The pair of Prospect Heights resident groups penned a letter Friday to Mamdani, urging him to reinstate the City Hall rat-fighting position, which was dissolved in September when former Rat Czar Kathleen Corradi quietly traded the role for a leadership position at NYCHA.
Carol Morrison, of the City Council member-created District 35 Rat Task Force, told The Post she is “concerned” there is no longer a point-person to resolve rodent swarms plaguing local playgrounds and backyards.
“There is no real connection between these [city] agencies, and when you have neglect … you need to have somebody on the ground,” Morrison told The Post.
NYC’s Central Park playground overrun by brazen rats who even raid baby carriages: parents
Central Park is turning into a squeak show.
New York City is losing the rat war in the iconic green space — where the vermin are so brazen, they routinely raid baby strollers for snacks at a besieged playground for toddlers, The Post found.
And after the rotating posse of at least a dozen “guinea pig” sized rats is done ransacking strollers at Tarr-Coyne Tots Playground at West 67th Street, some will defiantly frolic by the jungle gym near young kids, disgusted parents told The Post.
“Every single day that I go to play with my son, there will be one, two, three [rats], scurrying around and even jumping up in an area where our kids are eating their snacks. They have no shame,” said Upper West Side mom of a 3-year-old son, Amy Meyers.
