NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams has paid off a $300 ticket he was hit with for failing to address a rodent infestation at his Brooklyn rowhouse, city records show.
A Health Department inspector issued the fine in December, writing in a summons that she had detected “harborage conditions that encourage the nesting of rats” in the front yard of Adams’ Bedford-Stuyvesant home, including improperly disposed recyclables. The inspector also wrote Adams’ property was “known to be rodent infested.”
Adams appealed the ticket in a hearing before an Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings officer last month. But the officer denied the appeal, and ordered the mayor to cough up the $300.
