[NYCFilter] What steps has NYC taken to deal with vermin? And what isn't it doing that it could?

What city initiatives exist to deal with pests in NYC apartments? Like the NYC Rodent Academy? Are there similar initiatives for bedbugs, cockroaches, assorted other vermin? And what are some things the city could/should do that it hasn't to address bug & rodent problems? I heard about some legislation introduced last year to forbid the sale of reconditioned mattresses as a means of preventing bedbugs spreading but I don't know if it ever got passed.

a search for "bed bugs" on www.nyc.gov reveals the Department of Health and Mental Hygeine. (don't forget to floss your brains, folks!)
