517 Grand Street (entire building)

Lived here for about a year. didn't notice anything right away. Have two cats, and was going on vacation. My parents came up to get the cats and watch them for two weeks. Within hours of the cats leaving, there were a few bed bugs on the sheet. I looked under the mattress and we had an infestation problem. They were setting up shop behind the dresser and in the floor boards. The entire building was infested. We moved out and threw out 90% of our belongings.

Suspected that the previous tenants were also infested and the landlord totally knew, but did nothing. Two months ago, a female tenant called us (via landlord recommendation), for a exterminator number. The landlord's behavior was completely unacceptable.
