NEW YORK — This mayor’s a killer — of rats, that is!
Mayor Eric Adams signed off on several bills Friday designed to reduce the city’s vermin population — a continuation of a policy push he’s taken visible joy in since his days as Brooklyn borough president.
The City Council bills Adams signed into law require that the city Health Department create and map out “rat mitigation zones” by April 1, that licensed exterminators be hired to work on certain construction sites and that owners of buildings that have received two or more rodent-related violations use rat-resistant containers for at least two years.
