Residents at a Bronx public housing project are being plagued by an infestation of rats, and at least one child has been bitten. The rats have practically taken over the Claremont Houses.
NYCHA residents are demanding the city and Mayor de Blasio do something about the infestation in their buildings.
New York State officials say they will step in to help after ‘fast-growing rats’ invade Bronx housing complexes; residents say city is doing nothing

Who ownes the building?
No pity here. I lived in the bronx. Tenants threw garbage in the elevators and out the windows. Hallway lights shot out with bb guns to make muggings easier then complaints and tickets to landlord. Doors broken by drunk husbands that were locked by fearful wives. I knew someone who replaced 3 a day until a crooked politician gave the contract to a friend. Many of these people deserve jail not free housing, no pity here.
Some a chayos but some not….
Cha’z: No pity, because every one of the people in the infested building engages in the activities you describe? So no one in that building knows how to behave?
No one, not even a criminal, deserves to live in a rat-infested home. There is a genuine problem in those buildings, including worse-than-average bad behavior by some residents. But there are some people who are innocent victims of bad management by NYCHA.
What I wrote is the tip of the iceberg. I said nothing about the boom-boxes playing till 2 in the morning and them dancing and yelling in the streets with their toddlers or how the politicians (read bleeding hearts who say no one deserves to live like that) planted hundreds of bushes though we never needed them before and the poor deprived citizens burned them down. TWICE. Or how the ones who got up before noon would throw things out the windows at us.
Don’t even try to lecture me before you’ve lived among the human rats. My area emptied out within 2 years of school integration and you can be sure those who left are no longer know-nothing liberals. The nightly screams from the parks took care of them.

Huh? Just as we are molded by our previous generation so are these people. No work ethic, all entitlements, pure riffraff.
Don’t make things up and convince yourself they are true because you like to believe it.
Throwing glass bottles from.windows towards passing Jews is something I experienced myself in another set of projects – I think was queens. About 10 years ago. We never ever went back to the park next to it (mayne this was their original intention and they won)
