New York is apparently no longer the big cheese.


The Second City has been dubbed the "rat capital" of America according to apartment search service RentHop, which said Chicago had the highest amount of rat-related complaints of four major U.S. cities.

The data compiled by the website showed that there were more than 50,000 rat-related complaints in 2017, which is a 55 percent increase since 2014.


"The abundance of garbage and buildings in The Windy City makes it a great location for these rats to seek shelter and food for survival," according to RentHop. "The presence of these furry critters poses a threat to city dwellers due to the fact that they are capable of spreading diseases and cause allergic reactions to humans and animals.


The worst neighborhoods in the Windy City were Logan Square, Englewood and West Ridge.


"Most of the neighborhoods with a higher concentration of rat complaints coincide with the neighborhoods with a higher concentration of dog poop," according to the website.

Saw a super rat down there some years ago. Never saw a rat that big, gave it a wide berth.

Itchy was a pretender to the throne, but Biggy Rat was the connection to the op.

Moses was cool.
