Cases in New York City Housing Court will be delayed due to a bed bug infestation at the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, the New York Post reported.
The blood-sucking creatures were reportedly found at the city offices around Nov. 15, and prompted fumigation of 5,000 documents and the evacuation of an entire floor. Nyc.gov lists 100 Gold Street as the address for HPD.
The measures created somewhat of a logistical nightmare, as boxes of documents were sent to a facility in Rockland County for treatment, and some of the files were not available electronically.
While bed bugs have been a scourge for New Yorkers in recent years, the latest bedbug data actually shows bedbug violations are down. [Post]

First, why would a state run location allow bed bugs to fester since November….
Second, if the location was not prepped the right way after being there for 2 months, the likelihood is that they will STILL have them…
And lastly, if all they were doing is to fumigate the records, without educating the people, then they are doing a disservice to all involved…
