More bed-bug news

Chicago woman sues New York hotel for $20 million due to serious infestation of bed-bugs - from CTV

Here is my previous post on bed-bugs and how the City of Hamilton is dealing or not dealing with them.

The latest update is that the Hamilton health unit ordered a City of Hamilton owned building to hand out information pamphlets to the tenants. The documentation that was from the City of Toronto's health unit, indicated that holes surrounding plumbing pipes had to be covered and to fill in cracks in baseboards.

The superindentant of the building was given direction by the health unit to disseminate the information but didn't and since then, there has been two more out-breaks.

The building manager - a City of Hamilton employee, who willingly ignored requests to maintain property standards still has not made an effort to enclose the holes so now the City's building department has been contacted to slap a work order on them.
