Is there a website or something where they track that type of stuff or is it moreso word of mouth?
You can go to the Rat Information Portal, click on Rat Maps, and use their indexing tool for 2010 and 2011 rat data by community district. As you can see, despite the anecdotes thrown around in this threat, the objective "Severity Score" for the vast majority of NYC areas is a straight "zero" (that only includes properties, though, not subway stations).
Again, in my opinion the rat problem is way overhyped, but that's exactly what it is: an opinion. Maybe I'm just more tolerant because (1) I have been to places in Southeast Asia and South America with real rat issues, or because (2) I don't even find rats particularly disgusting - in a way, they are actually cute.
Rats amd roachescin nyc are part of the cities landscape as well as flora and fauna like how scorpions are common in Arizona or snakes in the garage in your Miami hacienda.
or moose, wapiti, grizzly, wolf, wolverine and lynx on the streets and backyards of Anchorage which Sarah Palin shoots from the car window while driving her grandhildren to school.
I have never seen a rat in an apartment nor has anyone I know. For what it's worth working in the ER I have never seen anyone bit by a rat. The people who claim to have been bit by a "rat" when you ask them what they looked like, you discover that it was actually way too small to be a rat and was most likely a mouse. Most of the bites are people who try to pick them up with thier bare hands. Duh.

FWIW, mice ain't much/any better than rats in my book!
