ROACHES and RIP OFFS!

I lived in Harbor House (29 Davenport) for one year. While the location is nice, the apartment - also decent bones - was infested with *roaches.* I spent the first few months complaining about the roaches, which swarmed in my kitchen and bathroom. I finally spent my own money to blanket both kitchen and bathroom in insecticide, which mostly tamped down the problem.

The hallway reeked of pot - so bad that the landlord finally had to put up signs on nearly a daily basis.

BEWARE: Goldfarb neither checked me in nor checked me out. I was smart enough to take video of the apartment at both move-in and check-out. After over two months of waiting for my security deposit, they tried to dock me over $1,100 for scratches to floor and damage to countertops (yes, the same countertops I almost never used because they were swarming with roaches. Did I mention that the stove burners did not work?).

I have filed complaints with the Attorney General's office in New York, with the Better Business Bureau, and will now proceed to do so here. I can afford to handle the financial hit - and to battle it out and get my money back. I feel awful, however, for lower-income people who cannot. This kind of financial hit would be devastating.
