Brooklyn Residents Can Hear Rats Inside Infested Building

Fed up neighbors of an abandoned Greenpoint home can hear rats scratching through the walls. It’s leaving neighbors scared day and night. Although many government agencies have been contacted to clean up this vermin issue, little has been done because they were unsure of the owner. Apparently the home, at 270  Eckford St., has been abadoned for seven years. Vincent Mcmail is the last listed owner and hasn’t paid property taxes since October 2004. According to city records, he also owes over $25,000 in unpaid property taxes. [New York Daily News]
