NEW YORK — The months-long search for New York City’s rat czar is over.
Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday he has finally hired someone for the job, which comes with the hefty responsibility of eradicating the city’s growing population of four-legged vermin.
“We put out a call for a rat czar, and we got thousands of respondents. We’ve whittled it down to one person that we’re getting ready to announce,” the pest-despising mayor said at a rodent mitigation event in the Bronx hosted by the city Health Department.
