Sick situation: The bedbugs and vermin infestatio­n is so bad at one Bronx building that the state launched an investigat­ion after exclusive reporting by The News. Hallway drug deals, roaches and mice are common place at the apartment house on White

Plains Road in Olinville. Tenants allege they have been living with bedbugs, roaches, and hallway drug transactio­ns for over a year. “My daughter was up all night before her state exams … getting bitten up,” resident Michelle K. told The News. She and her neighbors allege Five Star Management, which oversees the property and the nonprofit Acacia Network — which provides social services — turn a blind eye to the crime and filth.

Mother’s mercy: As if having to bail your child out of jail wasn’t bad enough, add getting set up to be savagely beaten and robbed by the very people who are supposed to help you. That’s what one woman is claiming happened to her at the Manhattan Detention Complex customer service area in Lower Manhattan several years ago. Since then, Linda Shapiro (photo) has filed a lawsuit detailing allegation­s that the city Department of Correction employees did nothing as she was tasered and mugged of $30,000 and then stonewalle­d the NYPD detectives.

Shapiro shared her ordeal exclusivel­y with The News on Monday.

Disturbing decor: A Brooklyn woman earned the ire of her neighbors when she hung a racially-offensive Halloween display in her Clinton Hill windows. Creepy cutouts of brown paper dolls in children’s uniforms were strung up by their necks. The homeowner took down the decor on Tuesday and apologized on social media after a community member complained to the local elementary school across the street. On Thursday, neighbors protested outside the duplex and on Friday, the resident resigned from her post at a Bedford-Stuyvesant art studio.
