Well, I’ll be.
Real Estate blog Curbed has done a bit of cybersleuthing and found the location of the Maya Rudolph / Paul Anderson SOHO loft (they recently fled its bed bugs). It turns out the loft is back on the sales and rental market, and the rental price has gone up from $13,500 to $16,000. I guess the presence of some bed bug nymphs and instars (which we all know are probably still there, since it takes a lot of exterminating, of an entire building, to get rid of them) actually adds value to an apartment. When broker Halsted says “pets allowed”, you assume they aren’t included.

Love your ending humorous line. The broker should have said “pests allowed.”
Pests allowed! Parakeets, that is funny!
