fected apartment/s. The City of New York department of health is useless (no surprise!!!!!!!!!). I was told by a Mr. Brown-Madolla (Director of Environmental Inspections)of that office that the landlord has no responsiblity for informing tenants of bedbug, rat, roach infestation and that if a tenant wants to make a report he needs to bring a sample bedbug in a jar to his office which I did.Tenants have a right to know if their house has bedbugs, and the New York State legislature has a bill pending that will require NY landlords to inform tenants of bedbugs going back five years. We need that law. We can't put up the most aggressive fight against the bugs if we're not informed. Call your local and state representative...and organize with other tenants.
