I didn't want to say anything until the entire situation was resolved, although I do want to say that it is incredibly unfortunate that someone is going around telling people in the apartment that new tenants are responsible for bringing bedbugs into the apartment. It is very difficult to isolate the exact source of bedbugs and as NYC is currently experiencing a bedbug epidemic even in retail locations, I think it is unfair and wrong to inform other tenants that the reason they are being sprayed is because of new tenants. I have lived in other apartments and have never had a problem with bedbugs. Clearly, this building has had problems with bugs from time to time. My mattress has never been infected before nor have I ever been bit by bedbugs. I have been here since January and only started having problems in late June. The fact that there are bugs is not wholly terrible, but I really regret hearing that this misinformation has been spread. Hopefully the bedbug situation will be resolved soon and I will be able to wake up without bites on me.

bedding and thoroughly re-sprayed everything. The management company told me that the super needed to take action first before they set up an appointment for an exterminator. (What??! These are bedbugs! Call the exterminator! Now!)

I was skeptical that the spray would actually take care of the problem -- bedbugs breed quickly and lay eggs that you usually cannot see. Unsurprisingly, the bugs returned in less than a week.

This building also has one of the worst Supers I've EVER dealt with. He does a quick, crappy job, is rarely around when you need him and it always seems like he can't wait to get out of doing whatever work you need done.

My super told me to pay a handyman he did business with to fix the wall and take it out of my rent, but then they made me eat the charges of $300--even after the landlord came by and the super said, in front of me, "I told her she could take it out of her rent." Nice.
