She’s gonna teach New York City’s rats a lesson!

Kathleen Corradi, a city Department of Education veteran, was officially tapped by Mayor Eric Adams Wednesday as the city’s first “rat czar” focused on getting rid of the filthy critters plaguing New York City’s homes, businesses and streets.

Corradi’s official title is director of citywide rodent mitigation; she beat out hundreds of applicants for the newly created position that draws an annual $155,000 salary, according to Mayor Adams, perhaps the city’s most famous rat-hater.
