Pros:
- great location: right on lincoln park and lake michigan and a block away from many shops and restaurants
- great view: apartment had lake and park view
friendly and responsive manager: Joe, the building manager, was helpful most of the time. When I had ceiling damage (some water leakage) it was repaired quickly.
- several amenities in apartment building: convenience store, dry cleaners, and barber shop downstairs. laundry, gym, and parking garage in building.
- decent living space
- decent price

Cons:
- apartments not well heated: space heaters are a must.
- elevators frequently out of service: usually all three are running but the maintenance elevator is frequently broken or reserved and one of the other two are occasionally being repaired.
- spiders in apartment: lived in the apartment for a year and spiders became a problem during the warmer months.
- small kitchens with old appliances: Not much room to maneuver. Especially difficult to wash dishes. No dishwasher or microwave and electric stove.
- shower water temperature fluctuated greatly: frequently went from warm to scolding hot without warning.
- dogs everywhere: seemed like everyone had a dog (i.e. get used to a lot of barking and crowded elevators)
- dryers in laundry room sometimes did not dry clothes.

The above notice is all true. Fire is a serious concern in this building. Fire Chiefs are on the scene several times a month. I had to walk 14 floors once from all the fright and fire going on. Be careful and remember this. Planned Property WILL NOT respond to your grievances, ever. I had storage taken and also FED-X was taken from the Lobby, I knew who took it but had zero help from the office manager Joe Ellis. 3130 is known as "31 Dirty" by present and previous tenants! Get wise! have a great day....
