I lived in a one bedroom in this building for two years, and recently moved because my husband and I bought a condo. I have to laugh at the people who said nasty things about the building manager and the building itself. Obviously you've never lived in any other apartments in Chicago!
I've lived in this city for almost 10 years and in that time have lived in multiple apartment buildings -- trust me, this is one of the good ones. Accusations about management entering apartments without prior consent are ridiculous. If you are literate, you would know that all units are checked for bug problems every three months (there's a notice by every elevator, plus a notice on every apartment door saying so), and the windows are cleaned twice a year (again, notices are EVERYWHERE).
I have friends who live in apartment buildings that aren't kept up nearly as well as this building. I've also lived in places (actually, several counting the places my husband has lived as well) where the landlord is about one notch above slumlord in terms of maintenance, etc.
I agree that the rent increase is a little steep (I was surprised to hear that my unit was going for $200 more than I was paying), but what can you expect when you live in Lakeview'
There have been several times in my life that I've wished I had talked to a previous tenant before leasing an apartment in other buildings (the apartment I lived in before this one turned out to suck!), so I can appreciate an honest review of an apartment. This is a great place to live. Yes, there are dogs. Surprise! This is a pet-friendly neighborhood! Yes, it's loud outside. Again, not really a shock when you live at a major intersection.
Denise, the building manager, is the best manager I've ever had. She knows what's going on, she has maintenance fix what needs to be fixed, etc. That's a lot more than I can say about other buildings in this area.
I suggest the naysayers of this building go back to Wheaton (or whatever over-privileged, pampered life you came from). This is Chicago. Sure, it's not the Ritz Carlton, but you'll be hard pressed to find better management than here.
P.S. A friend of mine was with me to help move out some of the last bits of furniture we left behind. He's a building inspector for the city. And he was impressed by the soundness of the construction and elevators. I'm not kidding -- I swear. Yeah, it's an old building, but it's still in good shape from what he told me :)

I've lived in this building for four years and do not recall any married couples that moved out to purchase a condo. This "review" was written by Tara Sherridan from the "corporate" office. Do a public records search for the Clerk of Court of Cook County and see how many lawsuits there are concerning "SLS Management". That was the name before they changed it -- due to numerous lawsuits. The word is out and the gig is up. You guys are exposed and busted. Instead of spending so much energy and effort trying to rebuff and polish your deficiencies, try to address the problems. Damage control you are not doing. Nice fake review, Tara.

If you have a problem with the building and building management, why have you lived there for so many years?

You must be some sort of a fake. SLS Management, Inc. does not have any law suits pending against it in Cook County. I am a law student residing in the building and did a Nexus Lexus search and no law suits come up, you faker. And yes, if you are for real and so unhappy, why are you still living there ? Besides, there are 100 apartments, so how in the world would you know everyone and their business, that's impossible you faker. I have lived there 3 years and I dont even know the people on my floor, let alone on all 14th floors. Because you are not for real, you are busted you faker. :) :)
