Roaches..Sooo many roaches….
I have been dealing with a severe, ongoing roach infestation for nearly THREE MONTHS, and the way this property has handled it is completely unacceptable. This despite me having lived here for more than a year and always keeping my apartment extremely clean.
The infestation is not confined to one area — roaches are everywhere: every room, the kitchen, the bathroom, the bedroom, the refrigerator, cabinets, drawers, laundry, and even my bed linens. I have woken up to roaches in my drinking water... on my nightstand. They get into my food while I’m cooking, into stored food, appear while I’m showering, and crawl through my personal belongings. This is not just disturbing — it is unsanitary and unsafe.
Because of how bad it is, I’ve been forced to stay out of my own apartment for at least half of this time. I am paying rent for a unit that I cannot reasonably live in. I’ve also lost hours at work and am unable to have company.
Management’s response has been dismissive and disorganized:
• There is no consistent treatment plan
• Spraying has been sporadic and ineffective
• Communication is minimal or nonexistent
• Requests for a clear extermination strategy have gone unanswered
• Requests for rent credit due to loss of habitability were denied
• Requests to transfer units or discuss alternative housing options were ignored
I escalated the issue multiple times, including contacting ownership (Cushman & Wakefield) directly, begging for intervention. Even then, I received no meaningful response or plan to resolve the problem.
This has gone far beyond a “pest issue.” It reflects a complete failure of management, communication, and basic tenant care. No one should have to live like this — or fight this hard to be taken seriously.
I strongly caution anyone considering living here: if you encounter a serious issue, do not expect urgency, accountability, or support.
