Cockroaches and loud neighbors
Pros
Convenient location, management employees are helpful
Cons
Constant cockroach issue, loud neighbors and thin walls
Affordable and not too shabby
Pros
The rent was more affordable and the apartment was larger than most apartments on 10th and 9th Ave. There was always heat and the neighbors were nice. The management team took care of any issues we had in a timely manner.
Cons
We cook a lot and there was zero ventilation in the apartment. After moving we noticed all of our items that weren’t in the bedroom were covered in a thick dusty coating of oil. The common areas were seldom cleaned. No matter how much I cleaned my floors they always were dirty. I wound up having to scrub the staircase and hallways that led to my apartment to keep my apartment floors clean even though we don’t wear our shoes inside. There were roaches everywhere even though I deep cleaned all the time and had pest control products throughout the apartment. The radiators made a lot of noise. Extreme banging noises that woke us up extremely early. Overall we felt like all of our energy was draining after spending a few minutes in the apartment. We wound up trying to spend as much time as possible outside of the apartment.
Advice to the owners
Have a cleaning service sweep and mop the common areas every other week. Better pest control. Figure out the issue with the radiators.
