    roach galore - on my bed, in my sink, on my ceiling. Whole building issue. I told them about this multiple times and they brought pest control and then stopped for a couple of months and then the roach problem got worse. Pest control has skipped my room despite me asking. They don't care about you. The whole building needs to get fumigated. Disgusting bathroom and kitchen conditions. Always a foul smell in the hallways and kitchen. The onsite staff are friendly, but the building condition is so ...

    The main thing I wish someone would have told me is that there are roaches here before I signed my lease, now I have to shake out my shoes and clothing before put them on. I’m scared to have people over I’m terrified that I’m gonna leave the house one day and there will be a roach on my clothing

    Many days the toilet paper is out and we have to call someone to get it refilled. Needs daily attention to all bathroom floors. Not always quick to put mail in mailboxes

    Been pretty chill and I like the view from my window. Like the sink and fridge. The room gets pretty warm sometimes and I don’t like that as much. Overall I like the room.

  • Cockroaches and Unhygenic Bathrooms

    January 28, 2025
    There has been a significant decrease in quality since I started renting here three years ago. Bathroom cleaning is now weekly, not daily as it used to be, leading to clogged toilets for days at a time, and dirty floors and showers, and the building has become infested with cockroaches, with little action taken on behalf of management. I would not rent here again and will be ending my lease here at the end of this year.
