I am extremely aggravated at everything I am having to deal with at this building. The constant construction is insane. They are doing something to the parking garage which involves some sort of drilling and it literally feels like someone has a jackhammer right on your head. Did I mention I m on the 32nd floor' Yes, it vibrates through the entire building. On top of that, they are fixing the facade and all the balconies so there is hammering everywhere. Now, there is the issue of the AC being turned off. Apparently the HVAC system in this building cannot handle both AC and heat. So you get one or the other. Since it s still 80 degrees right now, the apartment is humid and disgusting. And they can t turn the AC back on because the state requires all buildings to provide heat by a certain date. Because the stupid building can t do both, we re stuck with heat during 80 degree weather. Is this what I m paying for' And oh, if I open the window it sounds like world war III. I m screwed either way. Maybe instead of repainting the walls, buying new furniture for the common areas, adding new furniture to the sundeck that is pretty much the same as the old stuff, they can switch to a better HVAC system. And because it was so hot in the apartment, I had to sleep with all the windows open. And because they were digging up my balcony, all the concrete dust got everywhere in the apartment I just spent all weekend cleaning. What was I supposed to do' Boil in my apartment all night' When I went to management with my frustrations, nothing was done. No compensation, just sorry, there is nothing we can do at this moment. Had I known that these would be the conditions I would be living in I would have never moved here. The least they could do was take off 100 bucks off of my rent so I could hire someone to re-clean the apartment I just cleaned. I can t believe I am spending all this money to live in a gold coast building when I could get the same treatment and noise and aggravation at a cheap apartment somewhere in the south side of Chicago. If you are going to pay that price, just move to one superior. At least they have a pool.
