Rats, not again! Tough street rats are “fighting” their human neighbors on several pest-infested blocks in the East Village, with locals saying the critters are popping up from garbage cans and staking claim to cars parked on the street. The overrun blocks are part of an area that saw 300 complaints since January — a whopping 37. 6% surge in rodent reports compared to this time last year.
