Why does the Mott Haven building record matter when booking pest control?
Area figures describe 741 buildings holding 25,878 apartments, so check the specific address before you sign: one building's record can sit far from its neighborhood's average. Building age and condition change access, scope and timing for pest control work.
What do Mott Haven buildings typically look like and how does that affect pest control?
The median Mott Haven apartment building went up in 1929, 30.1% of apartments sit in buildings from before 1940 (citywide 45.8%), and 28.5% are in buildings of five floors or fewer (citywide 37.1%). Older stock leaves more gaps and moisture paths for pests to use between apartments.
How much does an exterminator cost in NYC?
A February 2026 NYC price survey gives $200 to $400 for an initial roach treatment, $400 to $800 for rodent exclusion, $100 to $200 a visit for quarterly service, and $500 to $1,200 for chemical or $1,500 to $3,000 for heat treatment of a one-bedroom for bed bugs. Follow-up visits are usually part of the job rather than an extra.
Does my landlord have to pay for an exterminator in NYC?
In a building with three or more apartments, yes. Roach, mouse and rat infestations are Class C violations the owner must correct within 21 days, bed bugs are Class B with 30 days, and the owner must inspect every apartment for pests annually. Report in writing, then call 311 if nothing happens. In a one- or two-family house the lease usually decides.
How do I check if an exterminator is licensed?
Search the New York State DEC pesticide professional database by name or certification number, and ask to see the technician's certification card on arrival. Anyone applying pesticides commercially must be DEC-certified and the company must be registered with the DEC.
