https://tinyurl.com/3ar7styu Mayor Adams war on rats has hit close to home. Adams, whos made no secret of his hatred for rodents and is actively seeking a rat czar to eradicate New York Citys growing problem, has an unpaid summons since May for a rat infestation at the Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, rowhouse he owns. The summons, which carries a maximum penalty of $600, is still outstanding, according to a Daily News review of public records.

If you have the drive, determination, and killer instinct needed to fight the real enemy New York Citys relentless rat population then your dream job awaits. While that job posting makes clear that the ideal candidate should be determined to look at all solutions from various angles, including ... wholesale slaughter, it makes no mention of waging war in the mayors own backyard. Summons number 0802268574, which was issued to his Bedford Stuyvesant home, lists Eric Adams as the respondent and states that In an area known to be rodent infested: Active rat signs exist in that fresh rat droppings were observed near the meters and near the neighboring staircase at front right. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 ...
