Just to let you all know I live in this building and the whole building has been treated, the Managers have done a good job at getting this under control so if anyone is gutless in trashing this building get out and move on. When I moved in i was asked to get sippered covers for both the top and bottom mattress and make sure I protect my belongings if we all clean and keep a nice place we won't get bugs its pigs that get them hence where the bedbugs come in and buying used furniture. As for trashing the Managers for this they are only do there job to keep this building clean its up to the tenants to do there part and I enjoy living her as its quiet and clean so keep your own home clean and free of crap and again if you don't like it move out and stop trashing the Managers that keep the building clean.

I have received a letter under my door yesterday that looks like it was sent to everyone. This is the first I have heard of bedbugs in the building. Other notes here on this site show that the problem has been ongoing, although I have never been advised of this. I have lived in the building since early 2008, about 1-1/2 years. I guess they thought the problem would just go away. I cannot afford a new bed - I am barely hanging on as it is. Shame on them for never telling us. I moved between the dates of other postings. I knew it was a slum but I didn't realize the landlord was so rotten as to not even advise us.

I lived at 201-2121 Franklin St from Dec 2006 and had to move out in September '07 because of a massive infestation. everyday there were mattresses in the dumpster. At first they were just doing individual apartment treatments which were completely useless, so I guess enough people complained, and they did the whole building, but there are some posts on here showing that it is still infested...That sucks.

There has been an infestation of bedbugs, cockroaches and mice, on and off,for at least three years, in most of the 50 suites in this building. There are times when the manager is informed. She either puts off dealing with the infestation, tells the tenant to use 'raid' or does nothing. If the infected tenant informs the property manager, they act more than half of the time. The property manager has, on a few occasions, had professionals spray the entire building. Other times, just the suite is sprayed. The bedbugs and cockroaches, move to the suites that are sharing a common wall. With this method, the problem is never properly dealt with. The bedbugs and cockroach eventually return to the suite.

As we all know bedbugs are gross and thats life in general. I differ with the other complaint I told my caretaker and he/she did something about it right away. If we would as tenants say something the problem would be solved.There is no such thing as one unit being done and for people to say they don\'t want to be bullied is not true. I found the tenants are the ones that need to say something the bedbugs could have come from a person that was visiting.Always keep your unit clean and vacumn lots.people just want to give land lords a bad name.My caretaker always acts.

I spoke to my neighbour in a suite on the second floor, and she said her place had been sprayed around November 12th, 2008. No checking of the neighbouring suites has taken place and I'm concerned about being infected myself.

If I had not spoken to my neighbour by chance I would not have known there was a problem. To this day the apartment manager has not mentioned this infestation to me; and I have been told by someone that has gone through an outbreak that it is hellish.
Thank-you, I wish to remain anonymous, for fear of bullying.
