In all seriousness, Bodega Cats do a good job at scaring away vermin.
They might technically be a fineable offense, but having rats around sniffing your bacon is a much larger fine AND are appreciated by neither customers or bodega owners appreciate.
And frankly, the $200 fine is pretty modest compared to some others handed out, so I don't think it's the Health Department's biggest issue (this is a city where signs of a rodent living outside of the building can cost you a $2000 fine).
