lol yep that’s NYC for you. That whole area is absolutely infested with cockroaches, they are literally everywhere in every building. Even the richest most expensive townhouses or condos get them.
Years later I moved to Sunnyside Queens and we had this drunk lady who lived on the top floor and one night she put chicken in the oven and went to the bar and of course she forgot about it and a fire broke out.
Well when the fire dept came and put out the fire with water, all the water went behind the walls and when it fell down to the first floor it flushed out all the cockroaches behind the walls onto the floors. The stairs were absolutely covered in them, millions and millions of cockroaches, it was horrific, it smelled like the worst kind of rotten urine you can imagine.
Even rats are all over the place. I use to walk to work from Sunnyside to Greenpoint Brooklyn around 4am which was a hell of a hike, and I would see the garbage bags on the sidewalk moving from all the rats.
When Trump called Haiti “a sh*thole”. I felt like writing to him “Dude, look where you are from!! NYC! There’s no bigger sh*thole than NYC on earth!”
I’ll bet anything even Trump tower has a cockroach issue but I can’t even imagine what it’s like now under this idiot DeBlasio especially today when he’s firing sanitation workers who don’t get the vaccine.
It’s weird you say that. I have lived in NYC for 20 years and I don’t have cockroaches. Never had.
My daughter moved to the Atlanta area and is constantly freaked out about the roaches there. She calls me when she cleans, when she cooks, when she comes home after work for moral support if she sees a bug in her apartment. Her friends laugh at her because they aren’t uncommon there, but she grew up here, in Queens, and isn’t used to them.
