New York City Mayor Eric Adams is such an enemy of rats that he once called a press conference to demonstrate a contraption for drowning them in poison
. Now Adams finds himself contesting a $300 fine issued by his own administration over a rat infestation at a building he owns in Brooklyn.
Adams told the hearing officer that he had spent nearly $7,000 battling rats at the property and had even used thethat he promoted in 2019 when he was Brooklyn borough president, the Times said. The hearing officer with the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings, known as OATH, said he would render a verdict within 30 days.The Times reported that Adams had Rahul Agarwal, a deputy chief counsel in the mayor’s office, file a motion to vacate on the mayor’s behalf on Sept. 8. In the motion, Agarwal said Adams had not learned of the summons until Sept. 1 because he now lives in Gracie Mansion, the mayor’s residence in Manhattan.
A spokesperson for Adams said the mayor had done nothing improper. “He spent thousands of dollars to remediate an infestation at his residence in Brooklyn earlier this year, and was happy to appear before OATH today to state as much,” the mayor's press secretary, Fabien Levy, said in a statement Tuesday.
