Roaches from everywhere
Former Tenant
Pros:
Neighbors on my own floor were nice and friendly - no complaints!
Cons:
Horrible roach problem. You wouldn’t realize how bad it is until you lay down glue traps and realize how many they catch. Improper infrastructure leads to roaches climbing through the top, bottom and side of doors + radiators + behind stove and refrigerator. Have woken up to them in my bed. Beyond monthly exterminator visit, building doesn’t do much to help this. Downstairs neighbor submits noise complaints for simply walking in apartment and knocks broom on ceiling (no loud music, parties or talking just one person). The building requires 80% of apartment to be covered in carpet and will come check and take pictures (very expensive). Only 3 washing machines and only one works correctly.
Advice to owner:
There is an infestation of roaches in the building which you need to address. At the very least, require each apartment to get exterminated and close of the garbage chutes to help the roach problem. Have more diligence in renovating each unit especially when renting anew. The bathroom and kitchen have no vents and are extremely outdated and dirty, adding to the roach problem. Large gaps in the door, cabinets, baseboards and just general infrastructure issues leads to roaches coming through.

Rent is low for a reason
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location, allows cats, quiet, rent is low for the area
Cons:
Not well maintained, ancient kitchen appliances, common areas are often dirty, issues with roaches
Advice to owner:
There’s high turnover of tenants and maybe the owner likes it that way. But if the building was better maintained maybe people would stay longer.
