I lived in a mid-building apartment at 971 Amsterdam from June 2004 to June 2006. To say this building has a bedbug problem is an understatement. After two professional treatments, the bedbugs still returned. They are in the walls, and some of the tenants just deal with them on an infestation-by-infestation basis. My next door neighbor actually bought industrial sized insecticide canisters to spray once a week. I would not recommend living here despite the low rent and great neighborhood.

Apartment 2N. My roommate and I noticed bumps on our shoulders and someone mentioned that it might be bed bugs. We thought there was no way, but after looking it up online and looking around our bed and on our mattress very closely we actually SAW them! It was awful. The building paid for an exterminator to come 2-3 times, we cased our mattresses in plastic, washed EVERYthing, rented a steam-cleaner, etc. For a month or two we thought we had beat it, then it came back and we didn't want to start
