961 Washington ave - To rent or not to rent

Maybe check the bedbug registry? Maybe that's why it's such a good deal?

The "electrical integrity" has nothing to do with the light bulbs dieing quickly. If you have too much vibration from the ceiling or other vibrations (too much bass vibrating everything) it breaks the filament in the bulbs.

My friend has lived there for over 6 years, doesn't complain about lack of heat, no complaints about the work done by inside or outside construction personnel. He never had bedbugs but I never asked or overheard anything on the subject. May be worth checking the registry that other people have suggested.

Light bulbs are a terrible indicator of"electrical integrity". The manufac process and materials are meant to provide inexpensive light not a piece of test equipment. The incoming service from the street is an issue as well as the subpanels and distribution within the building.The surges that can effect your electronics can come from one or a variety of causes(Friday nite after work AC turn on in mass,ect)Using a 20cent light bulb is a poor replacement for an ammeter or script chart recorder or software equiv. Unless you have some super high end audio equipment the voltage variation within a modern structure will have no effect. Most really good stuff can operate on 95-135VAC as part of the input transformer.

If you think/know or anticipate playing loud music you should move to a smaller building, that will limited the people who want you out. I hope your question was asked directly to the agent you worked with."I play really loud music, often, will that be a problem?". We can all guess the answer. Loud music equal stand alone structure/single family home/other like minded people.

Don't sweat the small stuff. You found a PREMO apartment in a PREMO location. If you hesitate too long, someone will make that decision for you.
