Too Many Roaches
Pros
Ocean parkway is a nice spot, walkable to Prospect Park, neighbors are sweet people, the apartments optimize space pretty well (lots of closet space), and the water pressure is excellent.
Cons
None of those pros matter, because there are roaches *everywhere* once the spring/summer hits. You can apparently sign up for a monthly exterminator on a sheet I could not find when told it allegedly existed, but voluntary unit-by-unit treatment once a month does exactly f*ck all to abate their reproduction. Also the elevators are horrifying (ugly, loud, and they jump a disturbing amount when hitting each floor) but that really pales in comparison to the infestation issue.
Advice to the owners
Burn it down and start again.
