Roaches, nasty neighbors and the worst management I’ve ever encountered
Former Tenant
Pros:
NONE, Zero, Zip.
Cons:
Moved into this apt and was so excited but I should have listened to the girl who lived there before me when she shook her head when I asked her if she liked living there upon viewing the apt. I wish I hadn’t brushed it off. I lasted 3 weeks in this apt bc it was infested with roaches. I literally have ptsd bc of the three weeks of hell I endured living there, not to be dramatic. I know that nyc has pests, I lived in Hell’s Kitchen for 4 years so I’m aware but I’ve never seen anything like this. They tried to spray and get rid of them after I called and called but it didn’t work. When I realized I needed out, they didn’t call me back or the woman at the front desk would screen me. I tried emailing but getting Ramin to respond was impossible. Finally they agreed to terminate my lease. I had to fight to get my security and brokers fee back, I also wanted them to reimburse me for my moving expenses as I just moved and I wanted the months rent back bc they clearly knew it had an issue but they wouldn’t. At the end of the day I was just glad to be out of there and never look back. Do NOT rent here or from this company, you will be sorry.
