During the Fall of 2010 about a dozen apartments were professionally treated by the landlord and about 2 dozen more tenants began using preventive powders. Several tenant meetings were held and educational flyers were distributed to alert residents to proper trash and laundry habits, as well as travel tips, treatment and prevention. This appears to have had a positive effect and stopped the spread of the bugs. As of Christmas 2010 no new infestations (that we are aware of) have been reported, an

As I had mentioned in my previous posting I am a broker who has lived in the bldg for 6 years, and if you are considering living here and want to contact me with questions, my email is ahawkins@sovereignrealestate.com. As of today, 9/24/10, this is information I received from the landlord:

As of September 8, 2010 I have lived in this bldg for 6 years. I don't have bedbugs i my own apt, but have heard of bedbugs being in some apts in the bldg.

As of October 2008 there are at least 6 infested apartments that we are aware of. The problem was first known in one apartment in the summer of 2007, the landlord had a professional exterminator in and the tenant moved out. Unfortunately, the spraying seems to have spread the problem, causing the bedbugs to retreat further into the walls and floors, and traveling vertically up and down and to adjacent apartments. The landlord is doing what is legally required, but in a multiple family dwelling,
