I’m leaving ASAP
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great water pressure. Pipe water gets boiling hot in a short amount of time
Cons:
In the winter roaches and silverfish come out of the woodwork like crazy. I kill a minimum of 3 roach daily and that is no exaggeration. Pest control comes regularly but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. Mice are also an issue. They come out the heating pipes, run into my closets to shit and then run back. Sickening. I’ve caught 4 mice in the span of 3 days, I was able to catch 2 the same day. Disgusting. There was no heat on Christmas Day. Smdh.
