I have been wondering the same. Thanks for the answer. Glad is for ocean habitat. — j. on Nosy Neighbor: What are they building on the old pier?

Absolutely agree that the sheds are the main problem. This is a fantastic idea and hope they are put up over the entire neighborhood. As a matter of fact why don't the restaurants with sheds pay the monthly expenses for the traps? The bigger your takeover of the street, the higher your monthly maintenance. — K on There’s a new sheriff in town

FDP looked into sterilization but it's not practical. In order to work, the medication would have to be consumed daily for a prolonged period of time.

After 3 days in front of 11 Jay our car wires were shot. Who knew the plastic coating on the wiring contains soy! We are still waiting for the damage report. — TribecaLady on There’s a new sheriff in town

This seems very cruel. Is there a more humane way to control the urban rat population than killing them? — Marcus on There’s a new sheriff in town

Yes please support local stores and restaurants to ensure they survive. Gift cards to restaurants you like also helps. — Support local on 2021 Shop-Local Gift Guide: Unique among the unique

decades ago, families would have Pigeon Copes on the roof and they would feed them and take care of them even train them to come back. we still feed pigeons here in Tribeca. — Native on There’s a new sheriff in town

What an unkind comment. A woman who cares about the welfare of living creatures is reduced to “the pigeon lady”. — A2 on There’s a new sheriff in town

I don't recognize the art, but the building looks like Cortlandt Alley at White Street... — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca?

I spotted the cool signage along the Hudson River yesterday. Love the colors and design. — j. on Seen & Heard: Affordable housing for 5 WTC

I am sure the pigeon lady means well but her activity of feeding birds extra than what they're getting in the streets is not OK. Their poop covers the windows all around in such gross quantities. I wish she would stop. Also, Sarabeth's careless trash is such a culprit there on Jay- they are so irresponsible. I walk past most mornings and it's a different food scrap in an enormous quantity- 30 avocado halves, dozens of egg shells- all thrown on the sidewalk bc the rats chew through their plastic bags and everything pours out. disgusting. — nic on There’s a new sheriff in town

What an excellent idea!!! The city needs to move on this immediately!’ Not only Manhattan but all the boroughs! — Deborah on There’s a new sheriff in town

Thank god and we need more. I just had to spend $3k+ to repair all the damage they did to the wiring in my car after only being stationary for a week. I would have to imagine it has happened to a lot of people in the neighborhood. — Chris on There’s a new sheriff in town

Peter got it right! — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

I'm sure the pigeon lady who's constantly feeding the flocks in Duane Park isn't helping, given I'm sure whatever the birds don't eat is food for the rats. — DTWNNYC on There’s a new sheriff in town

Across the street from 5 WTC sits 125 Greenwich the 88 story residential building that remains vacant with no sign of a completion date that I know of. Are additional new tall buildings with promises of affordable housing really the only answer? Perhaps those of us that live here would prefer more sunlight around than the shadows cast by these towers. — JPL on Seen & Heard: Affordable housing for 5 WTC

good for billie! — yossarian on The owner of Tokyo Bay is now installed on Mott Street

"I was hoping Marino would know why we have so many and he points to the closing of the restaurants during the pandemic: until then, most of the rats relied on public spaces as a food source." actually, i think it's the outdoor eating shacks that are the problem. i see rats constantly scurrying the short distance between the shacks and the garbage bags. virtually every shack has rat nests hidden underneath. — yossarian on There’s a new sheriff in town

i'm out in the wee hours a lot and i had noticed that the rat activity in front of washington market park has diminished over the past few weeks. i know it needs to be done but i feel sorry for them. — yossarian on There’s a new sheriff in town

put them all over this neighborhood and beyond. Looks like a great idea — Native on There’s a new sheriff in town

I'd like to echo Peter L's comment. After a late dinner on a Saturday night in 2014, I had an accident with a chef's knife where my hand was severely injured. Dr. Sung was called into the hospital on Gold to sew it up. I can't tell you what a relief it was to have this taken care of. Today, 7 years later, you can barely see the scar and my hand works perfectly. Thank you again Dr. Sung. — EHS on New Doc on the Block: Tribeca Aesthetics
