New York City law requires the disclosure of bed bugs and other infestations. Through these free forms provided by HPD, any building owner or tenant can comply with this law and ensure they are providing proper health information to prospective renters. After you’ve found evidence that bedbugs have moved into your home (ex. blood stains on your mattress), it’s important that you take the appropriate steps to prevent a large infestation. The first step is to document and report the problem to your landlord or property manager. You should also file an official complaint with the city’s health department.

Bedbugs are small, wingless insects that live on the blood of animals or humans. The insects are reddish-brown and about 3/16 inch long. Bedbugs do not spread disease to people.

Bedbugs bite at night while you sleep and leave behind red bumps on your skin that may itch. These bites can leave scars if they become infected, but some people have no reaction to their bites at all! If you think that you have bedbugs in your home (or think someone else does), it’s important to inspect every inch of your home for signs of an infestation:

Look in cracks and crevices where bedbugs like to hide (such as baseboards) or places they could get into from outside like window frames or any pipes leading into the house). You can even look under mattresses if necessary — just be careful not to throw away anything else in the process!

4. Tenants and/or occupants at the property are not permitted access to any common area(s) associated with the property as of the date this disclosure form is provided to the buyer and there have been no reports from tenants and/or occupants concerning a suspected or actual infestation of bedbugs in common areas associated with the property as of the date this disclosure form is provided to the buyer.

Nothing should be left out when preparing a dwelling for sale or rent

It is important to be honest about a property’s condition. It is also important to be prepared for anything that could go wrong. If you do not disclose the truth about an apartment, the buyer or renter may be able to sue you years later if something goes wrong. In addition, if your property has bed bugs and you don’t say anything about them, then it might make other buyers wary of buying or renting your home in the future because they think it might have bed bugs again—even if it doesn’t!

Conclusion

This is all you need to know about bedbugs, disclosure, and NYC. Make sure you are honest with your disclosure and that you include everything in the disclosure form.
