Terrible place to live

Pros

Location, size of unit

Cons

Tons of roaches, reached out to landlord multiple times and she ignored my messages. Doorknob fell off at one point and was told someone would come to replace it and they never did. The smoke detector had expired in 2014 and didn’t have batteries. Landlord refuses to return security deposit and provide itemized list of deductions.
