issue with roaches

Former tenant·1 week ago

poor management, poor smells

Pros

- good water pressure - rent stabilized units - relatively new/well-renovated interiors

Cons

- common areas are dirty, smelly, not well maintained - smoke smells on a lot of floors + laundry floor - management and super are unresponsive, hard to reach, and sometimes blame tenant for issues - experienced pests, bad wear and tear in units that were left unaddressed, broken amenities (like laundry) - Neighbors can be very noisy, but management doesn't care

Advice to the owners

Please hire a new super, or ask that the current one be much nicer + more responsive :(
