I live in the building, 135 Ocean Ave.

When I was bitten, about 3 months ago, I went ballistic cleaning, washing and throwing out any unnecessary clutter and plush items I wasn't in love with.

Since then, I've seen 1 bedbug about 3 weeks ago (upside down and dying, in my bathtub.) No bites.

The Super has been very supportive (has provided products for me, and caulked the entire apartment between the walls and floor)

The (current) exterminator seems knowledgeable, he is in the buil

ding every week on Saturday and checks in on the status of my problem.

I do not detect the problem is "out of control" infestation, it is however, present.

The building hosts renovated, rent stabilized apartments (at least mine is), the neighbors are generally very cool.

My advice, if you love the building like I do--the problem is not worth running away from--you could feasibly encounter this same issue anywhere at any time, at least the folks in this building seem to care about thwarting it, and are making efforts to do so...but much of the onus is on the apartment dweller, as they can't do your due-diligence for you.

Clean well weekly, wash your clothes weekly, (This helps any possible newly-introduced eggs from hatching--as eggs typically hatch in a week to 12 days.)

Also, keep diatomaceous earth around the seam where your walls/baseboards and floors meet) as well as around the legs of your bed and plush furniture.

You shouldn't have too much of an issue if you do this due-diligence.

BTW, I am on the 6th fl, I know my neighbor below me on 5 has had some as well, but we are both now (seeming) bug-free having taken these measures.

Good luck.

I can confirm that the bed bug situation has worsened. They have appeared in my apartment on the 5th floor.


June 2010. Apparently tenants in 4A would see a bedbug every once in a while and not say anything. Their infestation spread to 3A, 4B and 4C and probably other apartments. Tenants in 3A moved out a few months ago because of infestation. Landlord has been sending exterminators but has gone through 3 exterminators (first actually used fogger(!) and tenants complained, saying foggers make the problem worse, then the second, who was especially effective and knowledgeable and treating the new tenants

in 3A, was deemed too expensive). New renters in 3A, arrived 3 weeks ago, still have heavy infestation. 4A (the source) has been treated, furniture wrapped and thrown out. 4C & 4B receiving treatment.
