Bedbug ? In Inwood Apartment
I fell in love with an Inwood apartment today--it's right off the 207th A stop, nice size, building seems decent.
The only problem is a quick online search showed that the building has had some problem with bedbugs. One post (resident) said that he knew of many people throwing away their mattresses; a broker posted that there was only 1 apartment and it was treated. When I saw the apartment today, 1 woman I spoke to said she knew of several apartments below her that, as of the summer, still had issues with bedbugs. She said she liked the building, though, as did others I spoke to.
Questions:
Is this just par for the course in Manhattan? Is every large building going to have a bedbug problem because they're so ubiquitous?
Would you move into a building that has/had a known issue in some apartments?
The building is at 207 and Cooper, so any hints about that area would be appreciated too.
Thanks.
