bad management and going downhill fast ...

I've lived in McClurg Court for 4 years and have watched the building deteriorate each and every year ... to start, it's an older building with many problems with frequently broken elevators and poorly functioning heat/ac (e.g. ask the management office about their recent adventures with their broken radiators in which a pipe burst in the middle of winter gushing water onto the street from the 20th floor A-tower while the heat went out for all the tenants on a zero degree day) ... the most disturbing trend I've seen are the number of violent and questionable tenants being allowed to rent (I know about several recent evictions and have personally witnessed an attack in my own hallway) ... obviously, in a larger apartment like McClurg there will be some problems, but the most disappointing aspect of all these many problems is that management is characteristically slow and unresponsive (e.g. there was little response or action with respect to the attack I witnessed and little was done to make the rest of the tenants feel safer) ... McClurg, like most of its managers, is clearly a building way past its prime ... I'm moving out!!! Watch out for Theresa (aka Dr. No) in the management office b/c she's fine when renting you a space but becomes one of the most unpleasant, scheming, and unhelpful people I've ever encountered after you're paying the rent and need something from her ... Just my opinion, you can take your own chances ....
