ROACHES Management does not care - Roaches all over this building. It's disgusting and management doesn't care. I told them several times and they never did anything about it. Also, people smoke in the units and management allows it. ...Full review of 517 West Oakdale (Banner Property Management)

DEATH TRAP - I have to warn people about this place. My boyfriend lived at 2756 Pine Grove for 2 years, having just moved out about a month ago. He reserved the service elevator well in advance to his move out date. About a week earlier, it CAUGHT ON FIRE, there was a thick layer of smoke throughout his floor (he lived on the 7th) but the fire alarms and sprinkler system did not, i repeat, ...Full review of Embassy Apartments

Dont even call them - Office staff is incredibly rude and treats everyone like low-lives, one of the women in the office is particularly nasty, and she's usually the one that everyone has to deal with, no need to mention names, anyone that lives in Lee street apartment know who I'm talking about. They are also very nosy. Rent is very expensive considering you get almost nothing for it. ...Full review of 7501 North Eastlake (Lee Street Management)

NEVER AGAIN! - I lived in a 2bed/2bathroom for one year and could not WAIT for my lease to be up. I understand that the building is vintage, but it smells horrible, and my room also had mold growing in it. When I complained to the management company, they came in a painted white over it. Not only did they leave the leftover paint can in my room, but the mold just grew threw the wall. GROSS ...Full review of LaSalle Towers

Overall an okay experience. Way too much construction going on for me to live here ever again! - I have enjoyed my experience at this aparment mostly because it is in Chicago. My main problem I had with the building is the construction. I know that everywhere you live you are going to deal with some construction. But here they are renovating every apartment in the building. Talk about noise! I work night shift, so it is very loud when I am trying to sleep. Most people work during the day ...Full review of 222 Pearson East

DO NOT LIVE HERE - It is awful! BJB Partners are horrendous. When I first move here we had a door man and a roof top deck. This past year there was a fire on the deck which instead of fixing they decided to close permately. After the Christmas holidays the door man stopped showing up for work and they never replaced him. Buts its not like we need a doorman as the front door is always broken, you hardly need a ...Full review of 2828 N. Pine Grove

These apartments can't be fixed... - This is in a totally sweet location, and some of the apartments that I've seen are kind of old and charming in an antique sort of way, but this building hasn't been updated properly in a century! I lived here for a month before I decided I couldn't take it anymore. Our electric for an entire two bedroom apartment was all on ONE BREAKER...that's right, our fridge, ...Full review of Park West Apartments

What has this place come to - In 1987 St. Stephen had an entirely different cosmetic outside. As the management changed so did the landscape, tenants, and gang activity. They called themselves putting up gates to keep out gang activity, and people from the projects accross the street. The first set of security did a good job walking the ground and they hassled everyone Tenants and non- tenants equally. Things took ...Full review of St Stephen Terrace Apartments

A lovely case for the Illinois Tenants Union - Wow, where do I start? First off, the apartment wasn't even ready on the lease date and they didn't even offer the courtesy of a pro-rate. Upon moving in, this is the list of things that missing or defective: Blinds, kitchen sink plug, bathroom mirror magnet, closet door knob, poor water pressure, broken dishwasher, a toilet top that didnt even fit the ...Full review of 5516 North Kenmore

My first imitation apartment! - I moved into 620 W. Surf when I graduated college because I couln't stand living with my family anymore & was far to impatient to take my time looking for a better deal. The building was managed better when Mary C. was alive (R.I.P Mary!), but it wasn't Hasans fault that things started to fall apart, he had to manage several buildings for Realty & Mortgage. The apartments are ...Full review of 620 West Surf
