The situation is now getting worse in the house. 2200 Leavenworth has 36 apartments on 6 floors. 30% of the apartments have been now treated for bedbugs and the first couple has given notice to the landlord to move out in the next three weeks.

A number of tenants are now seriously considering to move out. The tenants who are willing to stay are considering a law suite against the landlord, and they are assembling support for a possibly class action law suite.

Since June the infestation has spread to 12 apartments, so roughly two new apartments every month have been infested. We now also have confirmation that the bedbugs have spread from the third floor, where the infestation started, to the first, second and forth floor. So, more than 66% of the floors have now been infested.

If you are planning to move to 2200 Leavenworth, consider the current situation.

The six story apartment building on 2200 Leavenworth in beautiful Russian Hill has been infested with bedbugs since July 2008.

According to pest control the infestation started in one apartment on the third floor. According to the pest control this unit uses a lot of used furniture.

The house manager unfortunately did neither inform nor treat adjacent apartments after the infestation of the afro mentioned apartment has been detected. As a result, the infestation started to spread.

In the following weeks the infestation started to spread to three more units on the third floor, one unit on the 4th floor and one unit on the 2nd floor. All units are either adjacent or next to the adjacent apartment from where the infestation has started.

Terminix has been coming by now regularly to treat some of the infested units. More than three months after the first case had been reported the situation seems to now have spun somewhat out of control.

Tenants hope that the house manager and landlord will take drastic actions to come up with an action plan how to get this situation under control. After all, this building is one of the most expensive apartment buildings in one of the wealthiest parts in town and rents for tenants are sky high.
