Bedbugs at DOH HQ

From the NY Post:

The Health Department is trying to sweep a bedbug problem at its shimmering Long Island City headquarters under the rug, sources told The Post.

“We’re the Health Department, and they don’t let us know, they don’t keep us informed. I was told they don’t want mass hysteria — but people have a right to know,” a source told The Post.

At least five floors have so far been affected by the six-legged scourge, sources said, but agency higher ups are not being up front about the problem.

The agency confirmed a “small number” of bedbugs were found, but said the building was inspected and there was no evidence of infestation, so therefore the bedbugs were likely “hitchhikers.”
