Beware of bed bugs
Former Tenant
Pros:
Onsite laundry room; rent stabilized
Cons:
Bed bug infestation for the past few years. At any given moment you could walk into the laundry room and see bed bugs dead and alive on the floor, inside washing machines and on counter tops.
Advice to owner:
Every single apartment in the building should be treated for bed bugs. Because the current solution is not working. Some tenants don’t even know there’s an infestation until they are directly impacted. Tenants should not have to live like this.
