540 Briar Apartments: I LOVED living in this building! (Recommending!)

2007-06-25T23:42:14-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Not sure how it's possible these folks could get any negative reviews. This was my favorite apartment in Chicago, prior to buying a condo. The location was awesome, and the building was always spotless. Great laundry room -- the "workout"room is a joke, but I wasn't expecting Bally's along with ... [click to read full apartment review]

540 Briar Apartments: No Problems (Recommending!)

2007-01-22T22:46:30-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Yes, ICM has a sketchy history of maintenance, but I have had no major problems. Mine is by far and away a huge studio with amazing natural light (facing the lake) and is the quietest place I have ever lived. The walls are cement cinder block and unless your neighbors ...

From -Anonymous-: The on-site office has been amazing in helping me move to Chicago. Moving can be very stressful and the girls in the office did a great job in assisting me.

540 Briar Apartments: ICM Properties (Inner City Management) (Not Recommending)

2006-06-19T11:49:37-06:00

From -Anonymous-: STAY AWAY from any and all properties managed by ICM. They do not respect Illinois and Chicago laws that require them to perform maintenance requests in a timely fashion. The (one would logically conclude) undocumented workers that ICM employs enter tenant apartments without any notice and without even announcing their ... [click to read full apartment review]

From -Anonymous-: I could go on and on about the problems I've had with ICM...holes in ceilings, leaky toilets, rats, ants, rude management....the complaints are endless. Save yourself a huge headache, don't listen to the obvious leasing office agents with their "THANK YOU ICM" comments, just google them. You'll see for yourself ...

From -Anonymous-: ICM has done a great job managing this building. ICM has kept both janitors plus they have two people working in the on-site office.

2005-08-01T14:14:28-06:00

From darkshire1313: The apartment I have is pretty decently sized for a studio, although there are both larger and smaller studios in this same building. The bathroom is teeny (no room for shelves or much of anything. No mildew problems in mine, but be careful. Other apartments in the building have had ... [click to read full apartment review]

540 Briar Apartments: New Mgmt ( ICM Properties) is horrible (Not Recommending)

2005-02-21T00:41:58-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The building is nice and apartments are affordable but the new management is trying to up the price and with this the people are changing. Management is very rude and has even at one point posted a sign on their door "By Appointment Only." If something breaks, the maintenance man ... [click to read full apartment review]

The units are spacious with nice hardwood, although they have added some ugly linoleum. There is a nice big ... [click to read full apartment review]

540 Briar Apartments: New owners have no respect (Not Recommending)

2004-10-26T06:35:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: ICM Properties Inc. recently purchased this property and their business practices can only be characterized by such phrases as: disrespectful, unethical and felonious. If youre the type of individual who doesnt mind being treated like a dog by your landlord, you should love this building. They will invade your privacy, ... [click to read full apartment review]

540 Briar Apartments: Great management. (Recommending!)

2003-12-19T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This building is superbly cared-for, and has an attentive staff. I had a spacious studio with hardwood floors and great natural light. Located in a vital Lakeview neighborhood, near the lake, shops, restaurants, and Boys´ Town. Lakeview can be hit-or-miss, but this is one of the great bargains! ...
