Apartments are quite large compared to rent cost.

Very noisy building. You can hear the LIRR and neighbors through the walls, ceiling, and floor.

Essentially nothing. The hardwoods were nice to look at until we were forced to cover them completely with carpets, felt pads, and rubber mats to appease a downstairs neighbor who claimed us walking around was too loud.

Watch your step, there are cockroaches everywhere in public areas. They are dead from the chemicals sprayed everywhere but you never know with them. Samson Management dodged me for over two months after the supplied refrigerator broke and they didn’t replace it for almost 3 months. Not to mention we were never compensated for this insanity nor did they ever acknowledge the unbelievable number of calls and emails we sent them regarding this issue. Simultaneously, we had cockroaches inside our apartment which even after numerous attempts to resolve the matter with the super and the management company, the best they would do was put us on the list of apartments to be sprayed in a few weeks on the *single* designated day they would bring in an exterminator. This left us without a kitchen as we now had no fridge and so many cockroaches we felt like we couldn’t even go into the tiny 6sqft area they called a kitchen. Heat was on and off randomly but it was as if they had the settings on backwards. It would blast heat when you were already dying from it and then it wouldn’t kick on when you were shivering. (No joke they had the heat on all the way into May to the point we had to leave our windows open year-round). Hot water would run out when you needed it. The icing on the cake came when I was physically assaulted by my downstairs neighbor and was forced to get a restraining order against him. The building on all floors ALWAYS smelled. There were cockroaches and other bugs in the trash chute area. Mice in the hallways. People smoke in the stairwell. The sound of airplanes passing overhead makes you think they are going to crash into your apartment because they get so loud. Constant noise outside of cars honking or alarms going off or more construction. And good luck if you have a car: I think on average it would take us 20-30 minutes to find a spot with some days being more than double that.

Get your act together.
