WCDOH enforces pest control standards under Westchester Sanitary Code Chapter 850 including bedbug provisions in 850.30, working with NY Department of Environmental Conservation on pesticide use.
Westchester County Sanitary Code Chapter 850 governs vector control, rodent suppression, and bedbug response in rental and public buildings. Section 850.30 specifically addresses bedbug infestations, requiring landlords to inspect and treat reported infestations promptly. NY DEC licenses commercial pesticide applicators under ECL Article 33. Tenants must report infestations and allow access for treatment. WCDOH may issue orders requiring extermination, sanitation, or building closure when pests pose public health risks. Yonkers, New Rochelle, and other cities supplement county rules with their own rental-property pest standards.
Failure to treat reported bedbug or rodent infestations can result in WCDOH fines from 500 to 2,000 dollars per violation, plus tenant remedies under NY warranty of habitability.
