Two weeks ago, I actually met a city health department employee who focuses on rat populations in NYC. She was doing a survey of businesses along Avenue C (Alphabet City) in reaction to complaints of a swelling rat population on Avenue B. Apparently, Hurricane Sandy had washed significant parts of the rat population from Avenue C to Avenue B...and with the start of the cold season, those rats will be looking for warmer places to hang...perhaps on Avenue B.
