DOHMH to declare the Bronx a rat-infested disaster area.

Resolution calling upon the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to declare the Bronx a rat-infested disaster area and to implement an ongoing rat extermination program based on DOHMH findings that the “rat problem in the Bronx is worse than anywhere else in the city,” and for the appropriate committee of the City Council to hold hearings on the results of the Mayor’s 2003 special rat initiative.
