Westchester County Code Chapter 850.30 requires landlords of multiple dwellings to remediate bed bug infestations using licensed pest professionals and to disclose recent infestations to prospective tenants.
Westchester County Code Chapter 850.30 (Bed Bug Disclosure and Remediation) imposes obligations on owners of multiple dwellings. Landlords must hire a New York State licensed pest control applicator within set timeframes after a tenant report and treat adjacent units when warranted. Tenants must cooperate with inspections and prep instructions. New York State Real Property Law Section 235-d separately requires landlords to provide a one-year bed bug infestation history disclosure at lease signing for most rental units. Combined, these rules make bed bug remediation a landlord duty in Westchester rather than a tenant expense, though tenant negligence can shift costs.
WCDOH violations notices, daily fines for failure to remediate, tenant rent abatement claims, and habitability lawsuits in housing court.
