So many cockroaches
Pros
- affordable rent - good sized apartments - generally many kind, friendly, and respectful neighbors - friendly maintenance staff - great neighborhood - water pressure is surprisingly strong
Cons
- the building's cockroach infestation is out of control. I have seen cockroaches almost daily despite best efforts to clean and regularly lay down poisons and traps in my apartment. Management offers monthly exterminations to units who volunteer unit access, but it clearly is not effective whatsoever. - water temperature fluctuates greatly - lack of sound insulation from traffic on Queens Blvd and 46th street
Cheap but you get what you pay for
Pros
Affordable rent, nice neighbors except for the random oddballs, super and staff are really sweet
Cons
Pests (roaches and mice), old building where things break often, water is strange colors sometimes, not all windows lock, leaky faucets, water doesn’t get hot sometimes, impossible to get a hold of the landlord
