ADVERTISEMENTS

San Francisco is known for its offbeat legislation.  We are the only city in America with an ordinance requiring cell phone retailers to post radiation emission information with the cell phones that they sell.  We were the first city in America to ban plastic bags.  And the city recently made it a crime to declaw your cat.  But as far as I can tell from checking the SF ordinances, New York City has us beat in the bedbug ordinance department.  Mayor Bloomberg recently signed the Bedbug Disclosure Act, which requires NYC landlords to inform prospective tenants if a rental property has experienced a bedbug infestation in the past year.  According to this CBS article, NYC has the most severe bedbug infestation problem in the nation.  Fortunately, San Francisco has avoided being placed on the list of the "15 most bedbug-infested cities."
