Advice to the owners

Pros

This apartment is almost the perfect, it has that old UES charm. The building has fairly large affordable studios with a decent sized kitchen. Heat and hot water are included and work well.

Cons

There is a severe pest issue that was not disclosed when me and many of the other tenants signed the lease. Almost immediately upon moving in, I had a roach issue that management assured me would go away when they sent in the exterminator. It did not. The super had the gall to say that this is just New York and roaches happen. Roaches do not happen with proper insulation and generally cleanliness in the building. Now I am killing 10 roaches plus a day and my fellow tenants are facing similar issues. The property manager does not reply promptly and the exterminator hired by the owner does not work. The roaches kept coming back and it has made living here a living hell. I barely sleep nowadays and I fear for my health.

Advice to the owners

Fix your problems. Hire an effective pest management solution and promptly respond to your tenants and fix the problem instead of making us think we’re going crazy.
