Rat czar Kathleen Corradi says she wants New York City to move past being known as the home of the 'Pizza Rat.'
Dedicating $3.5 million to rid the city of rats, New York City Mayor Eric Adams just announced the hiring of Kathleen Corradi, the city's"rat czar."
Part of Corradi's directive will be to eradicate rats from government-run housing, schools and parks in the city's Harlem neighborhood. She will have a staff of 19 full-time workers and 12 seasonal employees in Harlem. Workers will be equipped with bait, traps, sensors, and fumigation machines. Corradi was previously a teacher and program lead at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. She later developed New York City's Zero Waste Schools program. She most recently was the Department of Education's Queens Director of Space Planning.
"New York may be famous for the Pizza Rat, but rats, and the conditions that help them thrive will no longer be tolerated — no more dirty curbs, unmanaged spaces, or brazen burrowing," she said."I'm honored to lead this work, grateful to Mayor Adams for this opportunity, and look forward to sending the rats packing."
