I’d argue that NYC hasn’t done enough with rats for this reason. And indoor roaches and mice too for that matter.
As a New Yorker, it feels unsanitary at best, and psychologically jarring at worst, and I wish I wouldn’t have to deal with seeing rats scurrying around on a daily basis. But there’s been no tangible public health risk so far.
