Kathleen Corradi, a city education official, will take the long-promised job: “You’ll be seeing a lot of me, and a lot less rats.”

So far, the new czar already announced she would be taking dead-aim at what even the mayor himself called a “simple thing” that rodent-concerned residents say the city ignores: trash bins.

“Fighting rats starts with fighting litter, garbage and food waste,” Corradi said. “Every anti-rat initiative starts with making sure food related waste gets into bin that rats can’t.”
