I moved into Hopkinson House (HH) in Oct. 2010. Around Feb. 2011, 4 months after moving in, I discovered a bed bug bite on my body. The exterminator confirmed I had bed bugs in March after I caught a few of them on a sticky pad placed underneath my bed.
Turns out there was a HUGE infestation on my floor in the months prior to my move in.
TWO separate exterminators verbally stated that the bugs were coming through the exterior wall of my apartment..most likely from my next door neighbor
(who also happened to be a part of the infestation prior to my moving in).
The most frustrating part of this problem was dealing with the Management Office. They are dishonest and try to sweep the entire problem under the rug, rather than being transparent and tackling the problem.
This problem is very clearly a building-wide issue. I moved out in December 2011.
When I moved out I knew of four units on my floor that had a problem in either 2010 or 2011.

Received letter from mgmt about beg bug problem in building this summer. Lived in the bldg for 6 yrs and never had a problem. Three months later, I began noticing bites. Called mgmt and they had exterminators came to our unit THREE separate times. Each one told us we did NOT have any evidence of bed-bugs. Our unit is small, but very neat and un-cluttered. We have a maid who comes regularly to clean it, too. Bites continued another few weeks. Despite, reports from exterminators saying we did no
t have bed bugs, one night I woke up with numerous bites and we saw two very small bed bugs crawling across the sheets! We started the intensive prep work for treatment the next day, and our unit has been treated. Thankfully, it was a limited issue in our case and not a full-blown infestation. What was so frustrating was that the exterminator told us, it could have become an infestation if we had waited another week or so! We laundered and packed everything and moved out for now. My advice to anyone in this building is: if you are getting repeated bites, even if you or the exterminator do not see bugs-start the prep work and push to treat as soon as possible! They are very tiny and difficult to see and by the time you do actually see them, it can be a real problem-especially in a high rise like this one!
