She’s gonna teach New York City’s rats a lesson!
Kathleen Corradi, a city Department of Education veteran, was officially tapped by Mayor Eric Adams Wednesday as the city’s first “rat czar” focused on getting rid of the filthy critters plaguing New York City’s homes, businesses and streets.
In the role, Corradi will lead the Big Apple’s efforts to eradicate its ballooning rodent population by finding new ways to cut off rodents’ food supplies and using technology to find and eradicate rats. “We needed someone that was going to put all the pieces together and all the players together to coordinate this entire symphony of fighters,” Adams said. “We needed a maestro, we needed someone that understood, had the track record, was focussed on it.”
Rats are everywhere in New York City — and the city’s new “rat czar” is going to work to get rid of them, according to Mayor Eric Adams.At the DOE, Conradi led the Zero Waste Schools program and directed “rodent education efforts” across 120 public schools, she said, with nearly 70% of them reaching their compliance goals. With her years of experience in rodent mitigation, Conradi said the rat czar job posting that went up last November quickly caught her attention.
