New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver introduced a set of
guidelines for reducing the number of rats at Lower Manhattan
construction sites today, in response to a reported rise in resident
complaints. “This is a public health issue,” Silver said. “In certain
areas, Particularly Near Fulton Street, the streets have been literally
overrun with rats since construction and repair projects began earlier
this year.” Among the suggested rat-control guidelines is an uptick in
construction zone oversight, a reduction in the number of hours garbage
is allowed to sit curbside and an increase in rodent bait at building
sites. TRD
