Not Many Problems, Not Much Response

The building is kept pretty clean, and I haven't had any packages go missing

Don’t like being there

Pros

Close to the subway, lots of light, love-in super

Cons

Lots of roaches, VERY thin walls, heating doesn’t heat but when they turn it on it’s as loud as it should feel like 100 degrees (suspiciously they turn it on when it’s warm outside, but turn it off when it’s cold) Old building
