New bill would require NYC hotels to check for bed bugs every 6 months
No matter how clean the apartment or how swanky the hotel, bed bugs don’t discriminate, and many New Yorkers know it’s just a matter of time before they’ll have to deal with an infestation. With hotel outbreaks rising more than 44 percent between 2014 and 2015, a new bill set to be introduced by the City Council on Tuesday aims to cut down on hotel infestations by requiring exterminator inspections every six months.
