    Nightmare since moving in
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The neighborhood is amazing. Nice view from the top floor and good location with a parking garage and laundry, however, laundry is hit or miss.
    Cons:
    The fact that there was no mention of pests, rodents, roaches and BEDBUGS, before we moved in. Had to be living with it since we moved in and we haven't even hit the 1 year mark yet. We are going on 7months now and see no improvement.... plus the neighbors could agree now.
    Also, huge roaches in the lobby area and garage with mice now, but living with bedbugs for 7 months tops it off. Since move in day, we only had about a month of peace until all hell broke loose and now and livelihood has been ruined. Very debilitating.
    Advice to owner:
    Get a responsive super who isn't so lazy and stop saying you will be fixing things when you are responsive after 6 months.
