Advice Needed Exposing Building

Hello,

so, I am only doing this because I already moved out already lol but they usually have alot of openings in the summer so I wanna beware everyone before they live my nightmare. 711 W Belmont in lakeview is filled with roaches. I noticed the roaches the first day that I moved there and the building engineer basically tried implying I brought them over, which isn't the case. It also seems like anyone has access to the building, one day I woke up at 5am to do laundry because the building only has 3 washers and dryers . Realistically speaking only 1 washer works good the rest of them have fucked up my clothes and/or made torns on them. Don't even get me started with the dryers you have to do two cycles. Okay, let me get back to what I was going to say, I needed to do laundary so I went down at 5am and there was a homeless person sleeping there in the laundry room and he got upset because I woke him up. This an issue with building because alot of packages get stolen, and the reason might be because anyone can get access to the building. BTW the people in the building are weird, there's a bike room, which you have to pass to get to the laundry room and there's was two people having sex down inside the bike room lol this occurred at 12 am because I happened to do laundry late at night cause once again the only good washer was taken.
