I just caught a bedbug crawling across my floor! I freaked and tried to kill it, but after I hit it, I went to get something to pick it up with, and it was gone by the time I got back.

Now I know where that bite on my hand came from! I've only lived here one week, and already I'm having problems!

Word to the wise - DO NOT MOVE TO 85 PITT STREET!!!

My boyfriend has been living in this building for over 6 years. We discovered bites all over us. Turns out it's bed bugs. I found one and shipped it to Harvard Medical Lab. They verified it was a bed bug. We reported it to the owner and he waited over a month to call an exterminator. The first time, the extermination didn't work. We complained and complained and he basically told us to move. We got bit again, and finally he sent a "real" professional exterminator. Needless to say we found out that other tenants had them. The owner said we were the "only ones", so, he basically lied. We decided to move anyway. We had to throw out everything we owned and we have been sleeping on a air mattress and living out of plastic storage bins b/c we threw out our furniture. This has been a terrible experience. The building has been sold so I hope the new management company takes care of this. The building is so disgusting. They don't clean the hallways, the garbage is thrown out near the mailboxes, this building is gross! You walk in the building ad you smell garbage, the floors are not cleaned. This building, in my opinion is against the board of health standards!
