Cockroach Motel

Pros

I have nothing good to say about this building. I moved in because it was the only thing I could afford

Cons

Roaches everywhere - literally every morning I would go downstairs and there would be dead cockroaches in the lobby. My ceiling collapsed in several places on several occasions. Neighbors were unbelievably loud at all hours - both in their apartments and hanging outside. Very long walk to subways.

Advice to the owners

Invest in real pest control!
