With roughly 67% of homes in New York rented, animal waste cleanup is often driven by a lease, an inspection or a deposit dispute. The team can note conditions for the owner's records. New York sees about 47 inches of rain a year, and damp air and leaks make urine-soaked flooring and walls more prone to mold and odor.
The work often covers:
- Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching
- Taking out carpet, padding, drywall and flooring soaked with urine or waste
- Odor treatment at the source, including subfloors, walls and furniture
- Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time
- Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family

Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in New York, NY
Does the resident need to be present?
Not always. If access can be arranged, the caller does not need to be on site. When the resident wants to be there, the crew welcomes it and works at a pace that suits them.
Who removes the animals, and who cleans afterward?
Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group usually cares for the animals. A cleanup team takes care of the home afterward. Ask the agency when the home is clear, then call a team to plan the work.
How much does animal hoarding cleanup cost?
It varies widely. The size of the home, the amount of waste, soaked flooring, odor depth and pests all change the price. The cleanup team gives a real price after seeing the home. Be careful with any quote given sight unseen.
Will personal belongings and papers be saved?
Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside papers, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the owner can name items that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.
How should I treat the person who kept the animals?
With kindness and without blame. Many people who kept too many animals loved them and wanted to help. Feelings run high after animals are removed, and support from a doctor or counselor can help.
Who pays for animal hoarding cleanup?
Often the owner, resident or family pays. For a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Animal control or a rescue group takes care of the animals and usually does not pay for cleaning the home. Some communities offer help for older adults or people with disabilities.
