Looks like Clinton Street has been taken over by rats! A sign on the garbage bins at the Brooklyn Law School dorm at 148 Clinton Street reads:
Dear Neighbor:
There is still a widespread RAT INFESTATION problem on Clinton Street.
Please make sure your garbage bins are closed tightly. And an exterminator is working with you.
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE OPEN BAGS OR PAPERS ON THE STREET OR OUTSIDE YOUR BINS.
REPORT THIS ISSUE TO THE CITY

TOGETHER AS A CLINTON STREET COMMUNITY WE CAN SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
