From Rats to Railroads and Pigeons to Planes: How Bell Environmental Helps Property Managers Make Sense of the Urban Jungle

When we say Bell Environmental goes beyond pest control—we mean it.

Yes, we eliminate rats, roaches, and all the usual suspects. But we also do something that’s just as critical for NYC and NJ’s commercial property managers: we help decode the chaos of regional infrastructure, policy, and economic trends—monthly. We’ve shared our work here and with BOMA members. You can catch us revealing our recent work on LinkedIn. 

Through our active leadership in BOMA New York, we’ve delivered 25 custom-written reports over the past 2.5 years, supporting the organization’s programming and arming property and asset managers with critical intel—without putting them to sleep.

And this year? We were honored with the 2024 BOMA NY Pinnacle Award for Outstanding Local Member—a recognition we’re proud to share with our peers who read, laugh, and learn from the report every month.

The Report: Where City Bureaucracy Meets Car Cartoons

Our report, tackles topics that matter to the real estate industry—from the hyperlocal to the global:

  • 🚧 NYC and NJ infrastructure headaches (Hello, construction zone #283)
  • 🚇 Mass transit funding, congestion pricing, and MTA drama
  • ⚡ Electric vehicle adoption and charging station regulation
  • 🤖 Self-driving cars and their implications for parking demand
  • 🌎 Global tariffs and shipping trends that affect port traffic and warehousing
  • 🧭 And how all this shapes the realities of tenant experience, building operations, deliveries, and capital planning

And yes—there are cartoons. Because if we can’t laugh at the absurdity of trying to repave 10th Avenue and regulate e-scooters in the same week, what are we even doing?

A Thought Partner for CRE Professionals

We contribute these reports not just to share knowledge—but to strengthen the strategic partnership between Bell Environmental and the property management community. Our pest control roots give us a unique lens on buildings, tenant behavior, and system vulnerabilities, not to mention how fleets navigate our streets and highways at all hours to serve clients. Our commitment to BOMA shows we’re here for the long haul.

If you’re a property or asset manager in NYC or NJ and you want a vendor who understands the full picture—from phorid flies to foreign trade routes—let’s talk.
