New York City\u2019s rat-hating mayor has once again been ticketed for a rat infestation at his Brooklyn property.<\/p>\n

\n

Mayor Eric Adams\u2019 latest ticket was issued by a city health inspector May 16 at a row house he owns in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. The inspector observed fresh rat droppings and a rat burrow \u201cat the front left base of the staircase of the property.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ticket,\u00a0first reported by the Daily News<\/a>, was Adams\u2019 fifth\u00a0rodent violation<\/a>since he became mayor in January 2022.<\/p>\n

He can contest the ticket July 7 before an\u00a0Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings<\/a>\u00a0officer.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Adams, Liz Garcia, said in a statement, \u201cThe mayor prides himself on keeping his property clean. He will review the summons and follow all standard procedures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adams, a Democrat, frequently proclaims, \u201cI hate rats!\u201d and once tried to prove it by demonstrating a device that\u00a0drowned them in a vat of caustic liquid.<\/a><\/p>\n

He appointed the city\u2019s\u00a0first \u201crat czar\u201d<\/a>\u00a0last year after posting a help-wanted ad seeking applicants who could commit to the \u201cwholesale slaughter\u201d of the pests.<\/p>\n

Adams, who now lives in Gracie Mansion, the official mayor\u2019s residence, challenged the previous rat tickets he got at the Brooklyn property.<\/p>\n

Three were dismissed, but the mayor paid $300 to settle the fourth. Adams told a hearing officer he had spent $7,000 on rat mitigation at the property.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
