- Horrible roach and bug problem. The winter months aren’t that bad but during the summer it’s terrible - I spent most of the summer months staying with friends and family because it felt disgusting being in my own apartment. For roaches, they offer exterminator services via a sign up sheet in the entry way but they don’t follow it. I needed to follow up with the super because my apartment was being skipped over. Even if the exterminators do come all they do is put bait down which just attracts more bugs into the apartment. They need to find where the roaches are coming from and solve the problem there first. Besides the roaches, there were countless other bugs too. I know this because they all got trapped in the sticky traps I lined my floors with. Bugs that I’ve never seen before, the long ones with the long creepy legs, and surprisingly enough lightning bugs - it was bizarre. - Construction on the neighboring building has caused scaffolding to go up in the garbage alley. It’s always dark even in the day time and there are always rats running around. - The heat is unbearable for apartments on the first floor and non-existent for apartments on the 5th floor. I lived on the first floor and would often wake up to my bathroom being 90 degrees if I forgot to crack my window at night, while neighbors on the 5th floor complained about the cold and had to buy heated blankets - So.much.dust. I have no idea where it all came from, but it never stopped. If you’re signing a lease here, make sure you like dusting.
