Let me repeat: the laws applicable in Boston require landlords to treat all horizontally and vertically adjacent units, and to inspect every unit in the building. Are you listening, New York?
In Boston, they’re actually proactive about bed bugs: Education & Outreach: Boston ISD has conducted various outreach efforts over the years which: • Targets areas with a concentration of infestations. • Educates and offers inspections to those residing in the targeted area. • Engages & educates the local community leaders and activists. • Utilizes the media attention to educate and raise awareness of residents in all parts of Boston. If a landlord is notified by tenants about bed bugs, and does not eliminate them, tenants should call the Housing Inspection Division at (617) 635-5322. The city has a flyer for students new to Boston, about rental housing, which includes a brief but informative section on bed bugs. It explains the laws, and also gives advice about dismantling or destroying infested furniture before discarding it. It says that anyone leaving rental housing in Boston that is infested with bed bugs should call both their landlord and the city (at the number above). This see
