WOW I WISH I would have read these sooner and saved myself the hell of moving into Summit Inn, the guys are scam owners just put to get your money!!!!!! I moved in just a month and a half ago and already I have had to throw away practically everything I own due to bedbugs and rats!!! the manager / owner Allen Birdwell is a liar because we specifically told me there were no bedbugs when I asked. Not only should I get my money back but this building should be contemned, I cannot believe this plac
e passed any inspection as it is way worse than anything I've ever seen. I have been bit a total of 85 times and they won't do anything about it.

This place is a scum hole filled with bed bugs. I stayed on the second floor from June-August and I still have giant scars on my legs. I saw bedbugs many times with my own two eyes. Most of the time I would see them after midnight but I even saw an adult bug in broad daylight. Two neighbours on that floor confirmed they also had them, and I know several tenants moved out due to the insect and rodent infestations. The bed bug bites were horrible. They started out small, but then grew huge, red, a
nd hurt like hell. They were in rows along my feet and legs. My roomate's arms are also still scarred to this day and we moved in the summer. The owner denies it according to one tenant whose petition (to force the owner to get an exterminator) I signed, but I have SEEN them, killed them, and even my doctor confirmed the pattern of bites fit the description of bed bugs. And the smell of the insects is terrible. Asides from the bugs the building next door is a sex offender housing unit and I have seen people fighting, drinking, and smoking meth on various occasions out on the Summit Inn's (1722 Summit) front porch. Stay away from this shit hole at all costs - in fact, stay off Summit Ave altogether!

I moved in about 4 months ago and begin getting bites almost immediatly. I slep on my couch and usually get 10-20 bites each night. I at first thought it was a spider but now i dont know what to do. I keep fabrics and materials and do not want to throw them away. I signed a petition but i feel If I make a fuss I am positive I will be in trouble and I can't afford to get kicked out or go anywhere else right now.

The problem there is not only bedbugs but roaches rats and mice, we wrote an official letter to the management/owner and have since then been targeted in any way they could cursed at and threatened with an (unlawful) eviction for "starting trouble around the building". The Orkin Man came and said it WAS bedbugs right in front of me and the building manager, Now according to the management "they just wanted money."
This has turned out to be a nightmare. Even though 6 tenants have reported hav
ing multiple bites and we've CAUGHT dozens with traps Diotomectous Earth etc. the owner still claims we are lying.
Oh and they keep moving people right back in to the units that were vacated due to bedbugs and rats... without telling them the building has not been treated.
What an absolute mess.
