Cockroaches are a frustrating and dangerous infestation. They shed parts their feces can go airborne when it dries. They can cause respiratory illness just by living in your home and they can make illnesses like asthma fatal. This is a good reason to be worried about cockroaches and, if you have them, to get rid of them. If you have cockroaches there are several options at your disposal, choose wisely, however, as a mistake can cost you a lot. Mistreating an infestation can be worse than doing nothing.

If you are living in an apartment building then there is a good chance that if any of your neighbours have any kind of pest they will transmit to your home as well. It is a simple fact that pest infestations singular goal is to multiply and spread, like humans and animals and fish, we all want to spread our seed and keep our genetics alive, cockroaches are no different, only their goals are genetically imprinted on them as behaviours, while humans and many animals can conceive of things beyond their base animalistic behaviours insects are not able to. They only react, they do not act. If they see an opening they will enter it, if they see the water they will drink it. They have no personal goal or purpose, just intraspecies behaviours that make them a dangerous force to be reckoned with.
If your neighbour has cockroaches then yes you will get them as well and there is no level of clean you can reach to prevent it. You can seal off all sources of water and make your home dry as a bone and you will still have them in your home because they are explorers, searching for new places and food to eat, never stopping. This is why they infest, they explore, infest, consume and then move on. The issue is humans give them a place where there is no limit to consumption, so they stay.
If you have cockroaches in an apartment building the first thing to do is to contact your super or landlord. They are responsible for dealing with pest issues assuming you are moderately clean and tidy. If you are messy and leave food everywhere then your landlord will likely charge you for the treatment so make sure to clean up first before calling them. Once they see the infestation, by law they must exterminate it. So you or the landlord can call a licensed exterminator company to come to the building and do a complete cockroach treatment to every apartment and the common areas. This will end the infestation permanently.
