NYC Rat Pack is a new opportunity led by New York City Mayor Eric Adams and "Rat Czar" Kathleen Corradi to help fight against the rat population.

On Sunday, July 28, 2024, Mayor Adams held a press conference at Sunset Park. The program will coordinate with city agencies and community organizations to help reduce the rat population.
