1. Fire alarms. All hours. No warning. Never any fire. But if there is one, we can all be sure that we'll all burn, because once you're a veteran of a couple months, all you do is bury your head under the pillow. Also, they are the loudest and most obnoxious alarms ever.
2. Mice: yes. Many. Roaches: just one so far.
3. Management is irresponsible and they screw you on the lease. They did electrical work on my floor that no one was warned about and blew out our TV, Xbox, and a surge protector. When we went to them, they told us they weren't liable.
4. Since the apartment is so nice, they offered us a one-year lease renewal at a rent $100 higher. Hahahahahano.
5. Either it's extremely hot or freezing cold. The heater doesn't really adjust. I had to run the AC during the winter. Good thing utilities are included.
6. Thin walls. Can't have anything close to loud music or loud TV, because EVERYONE CAN HEAR YOU.
7. Some of the walls are just drywall without crossbraces. Be careful where you lean.
8. The woman at the front desk at night is a nightmare. I hate her so much.

Horrific. Don't live here.

Hi! Please contact the person below ASAP if you are also unfairly treated by Chestnut Hall. Thanks! Miki Farcas ; farcas@pobox.upenn.edu; 2158988500 I am contacting the Penn legal counsel trying to solve a ridiculous issue I have with Chestnut Hall management. I do need more tenants to contact the legal people at Penn to address the management regarding certain issues. Hence, they can take actions accordingly (such as change those rude people).
