1 pest-free buildingsHow to Find a Pest-Free Apartment in NYC
Finding a pest-free apartment in New York City can feel impossible, but StreetSmart makes it easy. We've analyzed HPD violation records for all 29,554+ NYC buildings to identify those with zero pest violations on record.
What We Track
Our pest-free designation covers all major pest types that HPD tracks:
- Cockroaches: The most common NYC pest, often found in older buildings
- Bedbugs: A serious problem that requires professional treatment
- Mice: Common in ground-floor units and buildings near restaurants
- Rats: More common in certain neighborhoods and near construction sites
Tips for Staying Pest-Free
Even in a building with a clean record, you can take steps to prevent pest issues:
- Inspect the apartment carefully before signing a lease
- Ask the landlord about pest history and prevention measures
- Request a bedbug disclosure (required by NYC law)
- Keep your unit clean and store food properly
- Report any pest sightings to your landlord immediately
NYC Tenant Rights Regarding Pests
Under NYC law, landlords are responsible for pest extermination. If your landlord fails to address a pest problem, you can file a complaint with HPD by calling 311. Serious infestations may qualify as harassment or warrant a rent reduction.
