AsNell Casey at Gothamist explain , Melendez created the map with eatery inspection information starting from January 1st , 2013 . The number of restaurants cited for “ evidence of mice or hot mice , ” or “ grounds of rats or alive rats , ” was compared to the total number of restaurants in each zip code to find the percentages in the color - coded map .
And the results are pretty outrageous . While a few small pockets get along out rat - detached , a stupefyingly large swath of Brooklyn is fall apart an uncomfortably black spook of red - orangish , signifying that more than 30 % of eating place have a ratly clientele .
