“One Tenant Complaint Can Cost Thousands.”

In New York City, rat violations are rising. Most happen to responsible landlords doing their best to stay compliant.

  • Over 30,000 rat-related citations issued in 2023
  • DOHMH fines range from $300 to $2,000 even for “conditions conducive” to pests
  • Inspections are often unannounced, triggered by 311 complaints

You can’t control every tenant or trash pickup,
but you can protect yourself from the fines.

Why Violations Keep Happening

Most exterminators only show up after a problem starts.
But DOHMH fines you for conditions, not just infestations.

Common reasons properties fail inspections:

  • Hidden burrows
  • Active rat signs (droppings, gnaw marks)
  • Conditions that attract rats (improperly stored garbage, clutter)
  • Missed bait maintenance or expired pest-control records

MMPC fixes that with a proactive, trackable system.

What NYC Landlords Say

★★★★★

They saved my sanity and my apartment.

“I moved into an apartment in Murray Hill thinking there were no rodent issues… until I started hearing scurrying at night, sometimes in my own room. I was terrified. M&M Pest Control answered all my panicked questions, calmed me down, and quickly sealed everything up. I haven’t heard a thing since other than the usual neighborhood noise! I’m no longer afraid to stay in my own home. Thank you, M&M!”

— Valerie C., New York, NY

★★★★★

After years of issues, Rudy fixed it in 6 months.

“Rudy has been servicing our building for over 6 months and completely eradicated a rodent and cockroach issue we had struggled with for years. He’s extremely thorough and focuses on solving the root cause, not just masking the problem. I highly recommend Rudy and MMPC.”

— Nevan H., The Waterfront, Jersey City

★★★★★

Junior went above and beyond… again. MMPC is the only team I trust.

“I’ve had MMPC seal multiple apartments, and they always make me feel safe. Most recently, Junior arrived right on time, kindly explained everything, and went the extra mile even checking spots I had accidentally unsealed during renovations. He was incredibly thorough, kind, and respectful throughout. When my building’s exterminator failed, MMPC’s treatment worked instantly. Now I’m on a monthly plan, and I won’t trust anyone else. Thank you to Junior, Ami, and the whole team!”

— Ashley T., New York, NY

★★★★★

They’re not just exterminators, they’re trusted partners.

“We’ve worked with MMPC since 2019 in three different contexts, and every experience has been exceptional. Whether it’s sealing against future pests, solving sudden infestations, or just giving advice, their team is always fast, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. Alan, in particular, is more like a friend with deep expertise. He’s patient, thoughtful, and truly passionate about helping. Everyone at MMPC is professional and thorough, which is exactly what you need when dealing with stressful pest issues.”

— Tomer O., Upper West Side, NY
