The land Lord (Citi Apartments) of this building also owns most of the other apartment buildings in San Francisco, and is a notorious and flagrant scofflaw in regard to housing regulations. The City Attorney has a major class action lawsuit against this villain. We feel that the collective city-wide bed bug epidemic is the direct result of the pest control negligence as a consequence of their rental unit monopoly.

So I called the exterminator this morning and they sent someone out straight away. Within 10 minutes, he had found a bedbug in my mattress.
