What bothers me most is the loud noise. We live on a high floor (20th+), but noises from Bway bounce between highrises and travel upwards. It used to be quieter in weekends, because few trucks and buses. Ever since the Harley Davidson store opened on the ground floor in May, weekends have become the worst. There are Hells Angels people hanging out in front of the building, making loud noise from their bikes till very late in the night. What the hell was the management thinking when it allowed a Harley store to open in a residential buidling????
We work close by and have been in the building for over 4 years. But we are moving out as soon as lease ends. The HD store really spoiled everything for building residents.

Cockroaches? Every day when I open the door of trash room, hundreds of roaches retreat back into the trash chute after seeing the light, like Red Sea parts for Moses, LOL.
The first few months when I moved in, there were roaches in my kitchen as well. Eventually i got rid of all food and stopped cooking, and I was able to get rid of them. If I cook and there is anything left on the burner, roaches come back. Now I only order take out.
I heard bedbugs are back in 20+ floors.

Yikes! According to the bedbug registry it has been an ongoing problem, with a few breakouts each year.

One word: TUPPERWARE.
Everywhere. For everything. NO exceptions.
And for God's sake, do not let dirty dishes pile up in the dishwasher as you wait to "fill it up". Rotting food inside a dishwasher is dinner bell on the magnitude of Notre Dame church bells.
