Residents of Luquer Street in Carroll Gardens say their block has been overrun by a fearless gang of rats. “They sit there and look at you; they are not afraid,” said Lisa Demaio. The culprit? The 11-story condo development on Luquer between Clinton and Hamilton. “This is a serious health and safety issue, and there has been little to no response – until today,” said Alison Carrabba. The developer, Moses Gross, doesn’t deny the cause, but points out that it’s a typical result of demolition. “I don’t think [extermination] will help,” he said. “Rats are not something we can control.”
