A family of seven is trying to hold their landlord accountable after the family "escaped" a bedbug-infested building at 60 Van Buren Street, just next to a home that was the epicenter of a pest infestation three years ago.

Mother Jontae McComb shared with Spectrum News video and photos that she said were all taken inside their apartment in the home earlier this week just before the family decided to leave.

One video shows bedbugs crawling on six-month-old Leiyah's bed.

The family has since moved into a nearby hotel.

"To know that they were on her," Jontae McComb said, shivering at the thought. "And to see them actually crawling around on her and where she sleeps at, it just upsets me."

On Friday morning, the owner of the pest control company contracted by the property managers said there is a "minor to moderate" infestation in the building, and that the process to fully solve the problem could last four to six weeks depending on how many treatments are needed.

He also said bedbugs were found in each of the building's three apartments.

A growing pile of items that could not be saved including children's toys, shoes and a rolled up carpet remain in the backyard awaiting trash pickup.

Some things were salvageable.

"I have to take everything and we have to wash it," Jontae said. "We have to make sure we have somewhere to stay, so that's an expense there. Also, we just got brand new furniture that's now probably infested."

According to county property records and previous reporting by Spectrum News, the property managers at 60 Van Buren also manage 62 Van Buren, which was determined to be the cause of a neighborhood-wide roach infestation in August 2016.

Neighbors appeared worried as a reporter walked the street on Wednesday asking about the past and present infestations connected to the same landlords.

"It's sensitive to me," neighbor and community activist Ismail Shabazz said, "and I know the homeowners are going to be concerned about it. And then tenants too."

Back at their hotel room, The McCombs are not sure what is next for them.

Father, Hassan, said he has been picking up extra Lyft rides deep into the evenings to continue to be able to afford the hotel room.

Spectrum News reached out several times to landlords Tiber Tomshaw and Frank Fucilo to find out whether they plan to help the McCombs with their sudden expenses, but neither responded.

Ward #4 Alderwoman Rita Worthington told Spectrum News over the phone on Thursday that she spoke with Tomshaw, who told her he may offer some relief.

"He said he'll work with them," Worthington said.

"I think they do need to do us some type of justice for us," Hassan McComb said, "for what just happened: moving out, getting out, and throwing our things away."

The second-oldest daughter, seventh-grader Eniah McComb does not see any justice yet.

"I feel like he (Tomshaw) could help more," she said, "or at least do something other than not doing anything."

Despite recently passed tenant protections by the legislature earlier this year, there is no law requiring landlords to reimburse tenants for expenses incurred in situations like the McCombs'.

Spectrum News reached out to several city departments to find out how they plan to handle a complaint about the bedbugs that was filed on Thursday. They have not responded to numerous emails and phone calls.
