ver once alerted the tenants in the building to the existence of the problem, which has now been existing for over 2.5 years.
This landlord is notorious for refusing to do required repairs like maintaining windows and screens, painting, tiling, etc., even to the point of ignoring Court Orders. He also provides inadequate heat in the winter, and insists that tenants are responsible for their own repairs.
He has begun using professional exterminators for the bedbugs, but does not do so in a timely fashion, and has yet to take decisive action to eliminate the problem.

neglected to inform unsuspecting tenants in either building. Not surprisingly, the bugs returned to the infected apartment at 1347, spread to the adjacent units on either side, and also to two or three apartments on the floor below, possibly reaching down two floors. At least 6 apartments have been infected thus far.
Several tenants have been put through positive H*ll and considerable expense in dealing with this headache, and at least one tenant has virtually abandoned his apartment. Landlord is attempting to evade financial repercussions by moving to evict this tenant and re-rent. So far, the beasts have re-invaded twice in apartments on the 5th & 6th floors, while the landlord keeps claiming he has dealt with it. Don't hold your breath.
Landlord, in trying to cope with an entrenched bug population, has probably spent ten times the money that he would have spent by coming clean and employing a responsible solution in the first place. The latest recurrence was about a month ago, and apparently the bugs need to be absent for at least 18 months before a building can be considered free of them. Therefore, it would probably be wise not to rent in this building until at least 2012, assuming the bloodsucking pests don't reappear before then.
By the by, this building is also home to healthy populations of cockroaches, ticks, and silverfish.
