Unfortunately, we hear they have so many bed bug complaints that right now, they are not keeping up with all requests for inspections. Still, it is a resource. You call 311, file a bed bug complaint, and (hopefully) HPD sends out an inspector. If you get an inspector, we hear some of them need to see really obvious signs or even bed bugs (as opposed to only obvious signs). Good luck and let us know how it goes. Hopefully the landlord will respond appropriately without your needing to call 311. Come to the forums if you need support! http://bedbugger.com/forum/ Hi Alex,

Is this true and if so, who can I reach out to to file a complaint incase my landlord fails to provide the required services ?

Sorry you had trouble. I am sure there are many media players for WIN, Mac, and Linux, which will play this clip, which is in .asx format. For many people, this probably happens automatically, as it did for me. I use a Mac and have <a href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/" rel="nofollow">a free, open source media player called VLC. You can download it here for Mac (or WIN) if you're having trouble playing the file.</a> Hi crawledon!

Buggy Fri, 20 Mar 2009 14:07:34 +0000 http://bedbugger.com/?p=1391#comment-15028 I have just now received a communique from the BBLF, Bed Bug Liberation Front, and they are not going to take this lying around. Through their spokesbug Sy Mex they have expressed concern over this legislation but are relying on city bureaucracy and budget cuts to buy them time to build better and wider resistance. "We were here living in caves as humans evolved and we will be here when they return" Sy said. In the meantime they are planing to lobby in Albany and Washington for stricter fear based pest management restrictions and over regulation.
