    Unclean: Roaches and Other Issues
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - The apartment had a fairly new reno
    - Maintenance is quick and efficient when it happens
    - Cheap for a 3 bed
    Cons:
    - Roaches in the apartment that weren’t taken seriously by the exterminator for the property
    - Unresponsive super
    - We had mice twice in the year we lived there (turns out they were coming in from behind the stove which was not cleaned or checked before we moved in)
    - Stairwell is disgusting and not maintained (there was a dead roach on the wall for months)
    - Packages were stolen frequently
    - The door handle broke a couple times for the front door and the buzzer from our apartment didn’t work
    Advice to owner:
    Just clean it and do monthly extermination’s for all apartments.
