In the Columbia Spectator today, Bedbugs spread, residents criticize city’s inaction:
Mark Quinn, a Morningside Heights resident whose building on West 109th Street, was listed on the bedbug registry, explained, “It’s so hard to get rid of these things, and you can’t ever tell where they are, but I’ve seen nothing done. We need to be aware and alert and the city needs to respond.”
