New York Real Property Law Section 235-bb requires landlords to disclose bed bug infestation history before signing a lease. Suffolk County rental code enforcement is handled by individual towns; landlords remain responsible for treatment.
Statewide, NY Real Property Law Section 235-bb requires every landlord to provide a tenant with a written notice disclosing bed bug infestation history at the property within the past year before lease signing. Suffolk County does not add a separate disclosure; the state form satisfies the requirement. Landlords are generally responsible under the implied warranty of habitability for treating infestations not caused by the tenant. Towns such as Brookhaven, Islip, and Huntington enforce property maintenance code that can require professional extermination. SCDHS does not perform bed bug inspections in private dwellings but may intervene in licensed shelters or child care facilities.
Failure to provide the bed bug disclosure is a violation of state law. Habitability complaints can trigger town code enforcement orders and rent abatement actions.
