Noisy and BUGGY

I lived at Brooklawn Gardens for a year. While the actual apartments are nice, I was NOT pleased with much else. I had an opera singer living above me. I had the workshop/basement below me (I worked overnights...you can imagine the noise in the daytime!!!)

Aside from all of this, though...this place has a MAJOR bug problem. I woke up with a 3-4 inch black cockroach ON MY HEAD one night. We killed that one, and the next morning there was another in the bathroom with me as I was showering! And this is only cockroaches...there was a wide array of other bugs around the apartment as well. When I approached the management about the problem, they brushed me off and acted as if it were no big deal. Maybe not for them...it sounded as if this was a common occurance at this apartment complex.

It is a nice place and the actual apartments are spacious and good looking. The experience once you move in, though, is another story entirely.

I don't think you are right. This is the most peaceful place. the kids are kids, but they are very well mannered. Do you have kid? Kids are noisy, but these kids aren't, and if they are they aren't loud for a long time. The bug problem is very dumfounded and ignarint because you have bugs everywhere. This is not true i lived under my workshop For 35 years this is not true.

Some kids are brats, but many are good. But that is not the point. Who cares about others' kids. The Rental Office people (Victoria, Eddy) and Property manager (Allen), they are a piece of ----. The complaints are never attended to. The place is old and it sucks. They use the cheapest materials for A/C, heating (which works according to its own convenience). I have all the most horrible things to write about this place. I am fed up. Please don't come to this apartment complex. Else, may God bless you.

OMG, YOU PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE HUGEST SILVER FISH I EVER SAW LAST NIGHT IN MY APARTMENT. I ALMOST HAD A CORONARY, IT WAS THAT DISGUSTING. BUGGY AIN'T THE WORD....F'N NASTY IS THE WORD! IT WAS HUGE AND HAIRY OR WERE THOSE HAIRY THINGS LEGS??!! YIKES!
hey rocky, u should have heard the spider scraping on my wall with his legs while i was trying to kill it this morning, that was even more disturbing. i can tell u this, these bugs eat good here, they're big and chunky, u could almost put a leash on them and keep them as pets. oh, and i have pics of them if u want to see them. what i really hate is how the silver fish are hard to squash and how quick and leggy they are.
