Fat cats living in an exclusive Tribeca building are battling even fatter rats.
The Cast Iron House, an 1881 doorman building with 11 duplex lofts and two penthouses, has been infested by large rodents found “crawling on couches, in kitchens, down stairs and perhaps most unsettling, in a child’s playroom,” according to a lawsuit filed by fed-up residents, including Giorgio De Luca, co-founder of the gourmet grocery chain Dean & DeLuca.
“These are New York City rats,” said lawyer H.P. Sean Dweck, who reps the residents. “These are big boy rats.”
A dozen residents have spent their own money to fix holes in drywall and cabinets created by the unwanted guests, which have turned up dead in common areas, according to the litigation.
