City officials are investigating claims that part of a municipal building is infested with bed bugs.
An anonymous caller told NY1 that workers on eight floors of the Department of Homeless Services building on Beaver Street have been getting bitten by insects since Monday.
In response to the report, the DHS said, "We immediately began taking corrective action, and are extending it to all premises occupied by DHS. We are aggressively addressing the situation with an expert contractor and building management. No DHS employee has reported bites received from our building."
