Pavia: A city to be cared for and built together

"New York City's First 'Rat Czar' Takes on the Rodent Problem"

New York City has appointed its first-ever "rat czar," Kathleen Corradi, to reduce the number of rodents roaming the city.

She will use a $3.5 million fund to try new methods to control rat populations, expand outreach and education, and increase maintenance and remediation work. The money will also be used to launch the Harlem Rat Mitigation Zone, a rat reduction plan that covers 28 New York City Housing Authority properties, 73 New York City Parks locations, nearly 70 Department of Education schools, and more than 10,000 private properties.
