Kathleen Corradi, NYC’s Director of Rodent Control, also known as the Rat Czar, will be paid $155,000 per year according to reports.
New York City has found another novel way to dole out the increasing levy it places on its citizens via out-of-control taxation: a new city employee earning $155,000 a year to focus on ridding the city of rats.
That’s right – as of this week, New York City officially has a “Rat Czar” on its payroll. The employee, Kathleen Corradi, was introduced by New York Mayor Eric Adams this week. Her title is officially “director of rodent migration”, according to a Bloomberg writeup published this week.
And Corradi’s resume has rats on it too: she was formerly the Department of Education’s rat reduction specialist, the report says.
Mayor Adams had announced earlier this year that he was looking for a fighter in the city’s “war against rats” and was willing to pay between $120,000 and $170,000 for someone to do say.
Kathleen Corradi, a former elementary school teacher and land use expert who specializes in urban sustainability, has been appointed by NYC Mayor as the city’s first Rat Czarina.

Rats are getting lost between bus and train transfer points and need a human Director.
