Regretful Tenant on 10/06/2009
9-10/2009. At this point I have lived there for 2 months. I woke up in the middle of the night around 09/21/09 with two bug bites (that at that point I assumed were from mosquitos) then the next night I had 4 more (some bites swelled up to 6 inches, which has never happened before) . At this point I had yet to see the bugs, but got exterminated by their "exterminator." 10 days later I woke up scratching again, had 7 bites, and physically saw bugs. I have since found out that the entire building
is infested and instead of taking care of the whole building, they do one apartment at a time, causing the bed bugs to flee to the neighbors.And when reported they just keep on sending the guy over, which told me he has them in his own home, so I highly doubt his abilities as an exterminator.
Every time I have attempted to speak with the building manager he has not called me back once. The whole management company is highly unprofessional, basically slum lords.
2 months of living there is going to cost me losing all of my furniture, bedding, and spending 500+ on laundry alone.
Keep looking.

175 Stockholm St. 1st floor. I fought them for 5 months, thew out almost everything I own, slept on a bare camping mattress in an empty room. The fight isn\'t worth it. I should have ran the first day I learned what a bedbug is. Bed bug extermination is a careful expensive science your landlord must take care of. Just spraying isn\'t enough. The landlord kept trying to bill US for the extermination. Then I talked to a public lawyer in downtown Brooklyn and she said billing the tenet is unheard o
f. Document everything. Put bugs under glass. Take pictures of bugs and bites with a newspaper in the shot to verify the date. E-mail the photo\'s to your landlord and set your own terms for extermination or moving out. Just, for the love of god, don\'t bring them with you. I still have most of my stuff sealed in bags in trashcans in a friend\'s backyard.
