Bedbugs in whole building 2016-18
Pros
Corp management company responds in timely manner.
Cons
- persistent bedbug problems 2016-18, don’t know how it is now but it was a living nightmare. Most apartments in the building had them, despite extreme eradication measures they came back 2nd year. Exterminator said it was because landlords were only treating one apartment at a time, which just drives them into adjacent units. - they disclosed only at lease signing that there were bugs in building. Then they gaslighted me about how I had probably brought the bugs into the building. - terrible layouts, insufficient heat cause by clearly bifurcating apartments into smaller ones without radiators in many rooms - any claims of having a dedicated or part-time super are false; never got anything but verbal abuse and “not my problem” from him - insult to injury was, we were paying just as much as the next apartment in our line which had in-unit washer dryer and dishwasher, which we of course didn’t have. Attempted to get the landlord to add these upgrades and even offered to split costs, they wouldn’t talk.
Advice to the owners
Exterminate. The. Whole. Building. WTF.
OK place to live
Pros
Management usually responds fairly quickly to requests
Cons
We got both roaches and bedbugs and while management sent exterminators for both, I'm not convinced they treated the entire building for bedbugs. Packages also get stolen frequently. Sometimes I see that someone has left their trash bag in the hallway.
Advice to the owners
If someone gets bedbugs please get the exterminators to look at the whole building and send out a notice about it. A little transparency would go a long way.
