That was the "sort of." What I meant was that numbers had been released by HPD, to people who'd asked, people who may or may not report them correctly or at all. I suggest readers follow the links above to Renee's excellent post on New York vs. Bed Bugs about this issue to get full clarity on that. Renee,

Having to depend on reporters who may or may not be interested in writing a story on bed bugs (and usually get the numbers wrong), or having to call the HPD (or the NYC Housing Authority) press office to get them yourself, and depending on your luck, very possibly not getting a call back, does not make the stats public.
