Ridiculously noisy neighbor and no help getting it resolved
Former Tenant
Pros:
They do have laundry in the building, but it's expensive and the machines always break.
Cons:
Baby cockroach-infested throughout, although if you buy those cockroach poison traps, you may not see them in your unit, but they're all over the rest of the building. Walls are super thin and I, in particular, have an upstairs neighbor who is super noisy. He blasts his television/music sometimes as late as 3 AM, sometimes as early as 6 AM, and the property management team, "the board", does absolutely nothing about it. I've had to call the police on him to get them to intervene, since the apartment management team won't. Wish I knew all of this before moving in.
Advice to owner:
Respond to noise complaints promptly and actually DO something about it. Make there be REAL consequences to people who are way too noisy at unreasonable hours of the day.
