Sam Chetrit, a hearing officer with OATH, the city’s administrative law court, ruled in a decision released Tuesday that Adams failed to follow waste management laws requiring recyclables be stored in an airtight receptacle. A city inspector issued a summons to Adams in December for bags of recycling left in a fenced-in concrete yard in the front of the four-story home in Bed-Stuy, describing the mess as "harborage conditions that encourage the nesting of rats.
However, Chetrit dismissed a second summons for “an active rat runway” at Adams’ home, noting that the mayor presented “credible proof of ongoing efforts to prevent and control rat infestation before the issuance of the summons.”while arguing that the bags of recyclables did not pose a risk of attracting rodents.
