Beautiful Building with horrible pest problems
Pros
The architecture was beautiful. Quiet neighborhood.
Cons
The roach problem was out of control. Would frequently come home to dead roaches in front of my door and would find them in the apartment. I never truly felt clean living there.
Advice to the owners
More needs to be done about the pest issues.
Beautiful pre-war building driven that has gone to seed
