A community in Brooklyn is under siege from a cast of unwanted invaders.
"We have skunks and we've got raccoons and we've got possums, the only thing that we're missing now is lions, tigers and bears," said Betty Bernhart of Red Hook Initiatives.
It's a problem made worse by the long-term construction and flood proofing upgrades being done to the complex since Hurricane Sandy. The old basement boilers are also being replaced with an above ground central heating system. Eyewitness News reporter Sonia Rincon also spoke with a wildlife trapper in Red Hook who says the neighborhood has always had plenty of critters.
Calderon says if NYCHA is using regular exterminators to address the issue and not someone who handles wildlife bigger than rats, they will definitely come back."We see people, doing the job, I believe, but we could see more," Red Hook Houses resident Eddie Ab said.
