New York City has appointed its first-ever "rat czar" to reduce the number of rodents roaming the city.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams appointed former school teacher Kathleen Corradi as the city's first director of rodent mitigation, or "rat czar."
The Adams administration is dedicating $3.5 million to the Harlem Rat Mitigation Zone, a new initiative to ramp up rat control measures throughout Harlem.
Her primary focus will be working with government agencies, community organizations and other groups to crack down on rat populations in the city.
New York City records show rat sightings increased dramatically last year with almost 21,600 rat complaints through the end of September, which was an increase of 74% over the same time period in 2020.
