Bugs and pests drive major complaints

Many residents report ongoing bed bug and roach issues that affect daily comfort.

A recurring concern is pest problems, including bed bugs and roaches, described in multiple reviews as widespread and persistent. Several reviewers also connect these issues to anxiety about cleanliness and fear about spending time in common areas. Some residents mention that maintenance or pest control attempts were not effective, and a few describe other cleanliness breakdowns at the same time.

Multiple reviews mention elevators that are frequently broken, sometimes leaving residents—especially those needing accessibility support—waiting or unable to move easily between floors.
