Young man leaves exclusive New York apartment due to a terrifying surprise

New York City, famous for its exclusive apartments and high interest in housing, often hides stories that turn into real nightmares for those who live there. Recently, the story of Carolyn , a 30-year-old woman, caused a stir on social media when she described the horrific event that led her to hastily vacate her residence. The climax of this story wasn't just the collapse of the roof, but what came with it.

The incident, which occurred in late July, originated with a small crack in the ceiling of her apartment's bathroom. Although Carolyn reported the situation to her landlord immediately, a response was slow in coming. Hours later, as Carolyn was preparing to rest, a loud bang coming from the bathroom alarmed her. When she turned on the light, she witnessed the ceiling collapse, releasing not only water and debris, but also a living, breathing nightmare: thousands of cockroaches swarming throughout the apartment. "I've never started screaming and crying so fast in my life," the young woman admitted.

In the midst of her panic, Carolyn ran to the couch, immersed in a mess of dust, water, and the pests that had invaded her apartment. She decided to leave immediately. She left all her belongings, including her nightclothes, behind to seek refuge in a nearby hotel. “I was afraid to touch my things,” she said, recounting the trauma that keeps her away from her home.

Carolyn's story has gained popularity on TikTok , connecting with other New York City residents who have shared similar experiences and highlighting the susceptibility of tenants to structural defects and pest problems. The cost of staying in a hotel, which exceeds $180 per night, exacerbates the uncertainty. Although repairs are underway and a fumigation plan is in place, the fear remains. Carolyn has made her choice clear: she will not renew her lease.
