last month promised to expunge the citywide rat population \u2014 or at least put a dent in it. <\/p>\n<p>But according to a city citation obtained by The Post, the mayor struggles with keeping his own  Bedford Stuyvesant home vermin-free.<\/p>\n<p>The mayor was issued a summons by the city health department on May 10 at his brownstone on Lafayette Avenue after a health inspector spotted \u201cfresh rat droppings\u201d in an area known to be crawling with the critters, according to the citation.<\/p>\n<p>Adams attended a virtual court hearing Tuesday to contest the summons \u2014

mayor and his efforts as a landlord to mitigate the infestation \u2014 including spending nearly $7,000 in March to rid the Brooklyn property of the rodents, the Times reported. <\/p>\n<figure
