My daughter recently moved in to a recently remodeled apartment in Brooklyn. At first glance everything was great, but once moved in, they discovered that the inside of each closet wall was unfinished... no drywall, open to gut of the building.
Since, that discovery a new issue - in that bed bugs were detected by a certified inspector. He believes the apt doesn't have an infestation, but that they are coming in from other apartments that do. I realize bed bugs can get in even the smallest cracks, but these open walls lead to all kinds of vermin, bugs and fire safety hazards.
Are these unfinished walls legal? Would they have passed an inspection for a CO?
What are our (I am her guarantor) rights if any?
