According to the official city site, "rats seek out places to live that provide them with everything they need to survive: food, water, shelter and safe ways for them to get around." In order to keep them out, we've got to "make life more difficult for" them. Feel free to interact with the tool right here (at your own risk).Īlthough rats are clearly part and parcel of New York living, there are, indeed, some things we can all do to minimize our encounters with the creatures. Specifically, the Lower East Side and the East Village are looking particularly horrifying. Fair warning: browsing through the map has given us the actual shivers.Īlthough plenty of blocks seem to have "passed at last inspection," there is a whole swath of the city where rodents were spotted during an inspection. You can search by address, borough, block, lot number or neighborhood and look up specific rat inspection history. The recent news regarding the uptick in rat sightings all around New York had us thinking: what resources does the city provide us with when it comes to our neighboring rodents? Turns out, there are quite a few! There's an entire rat information portal maintained by the city that highlights up-to-date rat inspection results and follow-up actions through an interactive map.
