VIDEO: This Has To Be NYC's Filthiest Apartment

LOWER EAST SIDE, NY – Abandon hope, cleaners who enter here.

Harrowing video taken by a Lower East Side super shows an apartment that's packed to bursting with hoarded trash and lifting with roaches. Among the garbage is even the carcass of a dead cat.

“Whatever you seen, you’ve never seen nothing like this,” super Martin Hernandez says in the 10-minute clip, first reported by the Daily Mail. “If you were here in person, you wouldn’t want to smell this.”

After entering the apartment, Hernandez's video shows walls teeming with bugs, a floor piled with filth and kitchen counters covered in trash.

“This is nasty!” Hernandez exclaims as his clean-up crew packs the detritus into black plastic bags. All are wearing protective suits and gas masks.

While the video doesn’t identify the address of the building, the super notes that the tenant was evicted after 30 years amid neighbors’ complaints.

“He was a very clean guy. The last two years, this happened... he was sleeping on all that and he thought nothing was wrong,” Hernandez says of the unnamed tenant.

“Courts in New York City basically are not in your favor... and they allowed him to stay here for over a year living in those conditions,” he said in the video, posted on Friday. “Of course, the system will always find an excuse of why they allow them.

“I’ve never seen a hoarder living like this, where the mattress is rotted and the guy can sleep there comfortably."

After venturing back in the apartment, Hernandez shows a cleaner lift up the mattress to reveal a dead cat.

“Oh my god! That’s where his cat went,” the super says as the camera lingers on a furry mass piled among garbage. “That’s nasty!”
