Additionally, Queens is piloting a new program to tackle illegal parking complaints, while a gust of wind caused the National Christmas Tree in D.C. to fall over.
In other news, Dollar General has agreed to pay $1.2 million in a settlement with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs’ Office of Weights and Management for violating pricing rules. Living in New York City comes with nuisances such as rats, subway delays, and a flickering light outside an apartment window for 27 consecutive days.

On the lighter side, Rutgers University campus police removed a baby python from a student’s dorm room. The co-founders of Ample Hills, an ice cream company, were fired six months after attempting to buy back their company during a relaunch.
