Lived in this building for a year and a half. Just after they had gutted and renovated after the fire below.
I broke my tenancy agreement and withheld rent due to the complete overthrow of bugs & rodents. I'm talking full infestation.
1000$ bed - covered in bugs, had to throw out it was to infested and not worth saving.
(eggs, baby bug & huge ones filled with my blood)
$300 laundry & drycleaning which was a horrible experience because they washed all my dryclean coats and have lost mos
t of my expensive wardrobe.
$200 - cleaning products and time wasted moving my entire apartment around.
*Also my cats killed two mice while i was there and there was so many cockroaches i had a non-existing kitchen. My cereal was in the fridge.
Once i came home and as i opened the door, a cockroach fell down my back. So when i went to get changed i fell out of my shirt. They would literally crawl all over the walls.
I moved to a year old, really expensive building, with concrete floors. It's the cleanest, freshest place you could pick. AND I JUST DISCOVERED BED BUGS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have had enough. It's ruining my life. And all because i lived in this SHIT building.
RENT IS CHEAP BUT WHAT IS YOUR PEICE OF MIND WORTH???
FUCK 90 ALEXANDER THAT PLEACE IS WORSE THEN A CRACK HOUSE.

This building is currently infested with a plethora of different species of insect. Everyday the number of bugs seem to be getting larger. I have had my apartment fumigated once however unfortunately less than a week later smaller versions of the insects are appearing. Just to see how severe the infestation was I laid a piece of sticky paper down to allow insects into the trap and I was actually disgusted with the amount. At least 100 insects. Two species. Smaller golden cockroaches, as well as
an unidentified small black beetle with a golden band around it's waste. The beetle is my main concern as I have found litterally hundreds of them. They are everywhere. Underneath clean plates, walls, bed, not to mention any perishable food or grain which is left out has to be thrown away. And I haven't even mentioned the bedbugs. There are so many. I have kept specimens of them to show the building manager. I have eight of then trapped in a sealed match container. This place is beautiful, but it's just not worth the constant fear of having one of these things crawl over your face at night, (which has happened twice) that's right, cockroach.

Moved in on the 1st of June. There was a fire in the restaurant below and extensive water damage to the floors above, The building had to be gutted and completely renovated on each floor, in fact I saw the suite before renovations were done, it was just wood framing and exposed brick. The building was essentially vacant for about 3 months in the winter until the construction began... but 3 days after I moved in I saw single bedbugs roaming about the room, and in larger numbers at night. I ima
gine the infestation is so well established by now, because I\'ve seen them out during the day. I\'ve had the building manager fumigate twice, but they are such a resilient little species, it amazes me how they can survive. great location and $420.00 for a spacious room with 2 windows on the 3rd floor, I really liked it, but you have to choose your battles in life.
Good luck.

we were told by the building manager that it was a "one hundred percent bug-free building". shortly upon arrival, we began to find single bed bugs sparsely around the apartment. we lived there for a month. our shower looked like that of a prison chamber, and did not work. our kitchen was extremely uncomfortable, and there was bird poo all over the windows, cracks in the floor, cockroaches, etc. this building is not well-maintained, and the bed bugs/mice are unavoidable. also, they trash EVERYTHI
NG. there is no recycling program. overpriced, and the day we left we got robbed.

i lived in an apartment on the 3rd floor. i have since moved, however, my room was infested so badly with bed bugs, i used to cry at night and considered sleeping on a friend's couch because i would get bitten so badly. i gt maybe 2- 3 hours sleep a night. the bugs were especially bad from august 2008- to december 2008. it was very stressful and i'm so thankful to be out. my room was infested since october 2007 when i moved in.
