NYC Mayor Eric Adams fined for rat infestation at his own property

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was fined in May 2022, it was recently revealed, after health inspectors found “fresh rat droppings” at his Bedford-Stuyvesant, New York, townhouse earlier this year. Boston.com reports that Adams was issued a $300 fine after ignoring a summons and is now fighting the fine in administrative court.

Adams allegedly told a hearing officer that he has spent approximately $7,000 in attempting to fight off the rodents, even using a trap he promoted in 2019 that lures rats in with food before incapacitating them with a deadly solution. At the time, Adams called it a "cost-effective, humane treatment" to kill rats.

The mayor argued that fines are intended to be reserved for residents who ignore their infestation or otherwise do not attempt to get rid of the problem, something he says he is not guilty of, claiming he took steps to prevent and control the issue.

Hey NY city... Elect a stupid piece of crap as mayor and you end up with crappy results. You’re about to find this out once again. Too bad you guys can never learn from your mistakes.

Enjoy your rats.

That misleading headline must be corrected as follows to make it accurate:

I’m sure that if Trump Tower was fined for a rat infestation, it would be only fringe publications like The Blaze that would pay any attention.

Every time he walks in the house someone calls pest control. There’s a giant rat in the house.

Is Adams farming cockroaches for protein?

I’m surprised this happened. It really surprises me if he did not play the “don’t you know who I am” card with this situation, and have it quietly disposed of.

You'll know it worked after the smell hits the nostrils.
