Oh my God. This place is LIKE, the worse place on Earth. I cannot believe the management, landlord, and the rest of the rude people that run this place. They are so so so so hard to contact, unless its to RAISE rent, then they will contact you, or for LATE FEES 2 days too late. The place has MICE and ROACHES, the windows are so old that its freeeeezing in the winter with heat on full blast. They say heat is included, its not, its electrical, its in your electric bill, they lie!!! The buzzers at the door DONT WORK, they are broken, the other tenants steal other tenants mail, the place is always always dirty, the washer and dryer steal money and break down while washing every 2 months and arent repaired for another 2 months. The walls are paper thin, I can hear my neighbors every words. The landlord is sooo hard to contact, and is sooo two faced. Theres no parking, but they will lie and say its easy to park on the street, hahaaha, what a lie. Half the electrical outlets dont work in the apartment. Basically, anything you can imagine bad in a place, its here. Its tiny and expensive for its space, and they raise rent on you as soon as your lease is expiring, if not, theylle lease to a new person at the rent you used to pay, sounds illegal. If anything happens in your place, expect 2 weeks for a response and 1 week more to fix it. Theres like no where to talk to the landlord or management, you send your bill to a po box for payment and thats it. They do not welcome you or care about you at all. It smells bad often, and did I mention you can hear all your neighbors every noise, including farts, all the time. bugs everywhere, cintipedes, roaches, mice. stinks like garbage all the time. parking is a total nightmare. noise is a serious problem. poor landscaping and upkeep.I did not feel safe.falling apart, shoddy materials and workmanship.youve been warned.

When pests are a problem, you should report landlord to the health authority or call news stations. Pressure from people will force landlords to respond.

These people are sulm lords. The building had the same problems eight years ago, and it was under the same owner. The mgmt is trying to cash in as much as they can. Then, they will sell the building to the highest bidder, who will tear it down and make new condos. Check this out: http://www.chicagobusiness.com/cgi-bin/news.pl?id=34527&seenIt=1 "...Meanwhile, Mr. Latsko also is soliciting offers for two Gold Coast apartment buildings, at 1430 and 1504 N. Dearborn St., that total about 117 units. He says he would sell them for a total of about $14.5 million. Mr. Latsko says he isn??t under pressure to sell the assets and denies that the marketing effort is prompted by a recent lawsuit filed by Harvey-based Mutual Bank, which is seeking to enforce a personal guaranty on a past-due $10-million loan. Instead, Mr. Latsko plans to reinvest the proceeds from the sales, hoping to take advantage of the bargain prices for distressed real estate.'Other people may like the upside of these things," he says of the properties he's marketing. 'It??s solid real estate. I see more opportunities with the cash.'??
