Kemberly Richardson has more.New York City Mayor Eric Adams vowed Wednesday to fight his own City Hall - again - after he was ticketed for rats at his Brooklyn townhouse.the Democratic mayor appeared remotely before a hearing officer on Dec.
Not true, Adams insisted. "I have a camera at the house, and I looked back on that date," he said. "My yard is clean. My garbage is in containers. I go there, I sweep up. My place is clean." An administrative hearing on the new summonses is scheduled for Jan. 12, and Adams said he would plead his case once again. "I encourage any New Yorker: You get a summons, you feel it was done unjustly, go and fight it," Adams said. "And that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to follow the process."
Adams was asked about rats at an unrelated news conference after the Daily News reported the latest violations. The mayor, who had made rat eradication a key policy goal for the city, said he is equally committed to ridding his own house of the pests. "I spent $7,000 to do rat mitigation," he said. "You have to be really scared of rats to spend $7,000."
