On the heels of a city press conference yesterday declaring war on bedbugs—a war that seems more PR- than policy-driven—Curbed reports that the Time Warner Center is the latest skyscraper to suffer a bedbug scare, and has the memo to prove it!

As you might already be aware, a minor bed bug condition was discovered at our 55th Street offices.
