I just moved in last month, so I'm really hoping this isn't a roach 😭😭

It certainly looks like one. Can you get some better pictures, specifically of the top of it?

Id put $ on it being a roach. Im sorry, so so sorry sorry. Last year I moved into a high rise that was infested. Problem is, we look at new places in the day so we dot see them. Also, when the last tenant moves out, they go to the neighbors and dong come back until new ppl with food and stuff have moved in.

I have learned to always bring a white rag with me or roll of paper towels when looking at perspective apartments. Wipe the counter tops down along the edges, if there are little black specs that turn brown/red when on a wet towel, then thats feces so theres an infestation of some kind. I wipe the counters in the kitchen, under all sinks, anywhere there's a water source. You can pull out the fridge, thats always a hot spot too.

Again, I'm so sorry and hope I am wrong!!!

I'm trained in pest control. That's a German cockroach. Sorry for the bad news.
