Clean apt recommendation in Prospect Heights/Crown Heights

Hi,
I’m new to Brooklyn and like many weary renters who are new to the New York rental scene, I am seriously scared about moving into an apt that has major mice and/or roaches. I know, I know, this is part of sacrifice you have to make to live here. But, if anyone can recommend any great buildings in Prospect Heights/Crown Heights area that are fairly clean and vermin-free, I would GREATLY appreciate the recommendation. Thanks!
My cats keep the mice out and kill any roaches they find. Not sure whether roaches hate cats enough to move out if cats move in. One of the best things you can do is cut off the food supply, make sure all your food is in vermin proof containers, wash your dishes immediately after use and that you get rid of any food trash immediately.

I have lived with large roaches(waterbugs) and mice for my five years in brooklyn. Not sure how to avoid moving into a place with them. I think even condos can have them. Being over a restaurant or near construction is bad. The poison gel in a tube you can buy anywhere works very well on roaches. Just refresh it every few months and it should kill any families or stop a newly arrived roach from starting one. Mice are trickier, they can be “trap shy”. Meaning they know to stay away from the snap traps. Glue traps work but are seriously cruel. i only use them if i know i will immediately see them in it and kill them quickly. Plug any holes with steel wool and don’t leave food out(obviously). You may not want to hear this, but the longer you live with them, the less it startles you or creeps you out.
