Alderman Debra Silverstein Passes Vital Bed Bug Legislation


Alderman Silverstein said.  “This legislation will ensure that property owners and tenants are responsible for maintaining their property and will stop the spread of bed bug throughout a building and to neighbors.” The increase in bed bug infestation is a major concern throughout the city, and this legislation is an important step in improving the quality of life in our communities by addressing this issue and halting its spread.
The amended ordinance imposes fines on landlords who fail to exterminate infested units according to the regulations dictated by the ordinance. It also makes tenants responsible for notifying landlords immediately and cooperating with the bed bug treatment and eradication process. Bed bugs are resistant to many forms of treatment techniques, making cooperation vital for the successful eradication of the infestation.
I hope this information is useful.
