    Beware of BEDBUGS
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It’s a nice and quiet family friendly building. It’s a good location next to the train. The Super lives in the building but he works a second job so it’s 50/50 getting a hold of him.
    Cons:
    There’s BEDBUGS in the building which they didn’t disclose during the lease signing. I was covered in bedbug bites all over my body. They send out pest control who has close relation with the landlord that would gaslight me for months saying it’s cockroaches. I had them lay sticky traps as proof. When the pest control returned, he tried taking away all the sticky traps that captured the bedbugs( not knowing I had already taken pictures of the bedbugs). I had to threaten the landlord that I will report them to the city to get out of my lease, They’re didn’t refund my rent for the 4 months that I couldn’t stay there.
