\n City streets could soon become the backdrop for a live action \u201cRatatouille\u201d if officials don\u2019t come up with creative solutions to the growing trash and rodent problem caused by coronavirus-induced budget cuts, local pols warned Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese rats have the run of New York City,\u201d said Comptroller Scott Stringer at a Harlem press conference about the infestation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese rats are walking around waiting for a table at outdoor seating,\u201d Stringer quipped, invoking the animated 2007 Disney film about an alliance between an anthropomorphic rat who wants to become a chef and a a restaurant\u2019s garbage boy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen them walking upright. They come up to me and say, \u2018Good morning Mr. Comptroller.\u2019 They have become part of the fabric of this city because city government has failed to get trash and sanitation under control,\u201d he said at the press conference with Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-Manhattan).<\/p>\n

City Hall cleaved more than $21 million for litter basket pickup from the Sanitation Department\u2019s budget, reducing service from seven to three days a week. Rat sightings ballooned from under 1,000 in April to over 1,600 in June.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mounds of garbage are both unsightly and unsanitary, driving away customers at a time when small businesses are struggling to survive, and attracting rats and vermin which spread disease while our city is in the midst of a deadly pandemic,\u201d Stringer and Espaillat wrote in a letter to heads of the Depts. of Sanitation and Health.<\/p>\n

They said their offices have fielded dozens of complaints from business owners in the last few weeks about overflowing waste baskets in front of their shops.<\/p>\n

The pols asked the agency heads to allow business owners to put their own trash bins in front of stores without facing fines, use sealed bins for garbage collection days to reduce vermin, and find ways to combat rats with the advent of outdoor dining.<\/p>\n

A Sanitation Dept. spokeswoman said the city can\u2019t solve the problems alone.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the mayor has made clear, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on our economy continues, the City needs federal aid or long-term borrowing authority more than ever. Without these, we could be further forced to cut core services even further.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs always, we rely on the partnership of our fellow New Yorkers \u2014 residents and business alike \u2014 to keep our city clean, and we\u2019re grateful for their cooperation,\u201d she said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
