    From a long time resident: TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE. This building used to be decent under prior management. Ever since Clipper Equity took over this building - they are slowly but surely turning it into a dump - 1. Hallway carpets no longer get cleaned onā€¦Ā See More >

        This building has recently sold to Clipper Equity. You should Google them. We asked for an update on our lease for months (as we knew the rent would increase given this landlord's history) and they stalled until 6 weeks before our lease was up surprising usā€¦Ā See More >

          I am convinced these 5 star reviews were written by the building mgt. This place, along with the neighborhood, is going down the toilet. Management doesn't fix anything even after numerous requests. Everyone I know has tiles coming loose in the bathrooms which is causingā€¦Ā See More >

              Management defers to the Super whenever there is a problem. The Super is either unavailable or states that there is no problem, i.e., "the heat is on", although the front desk people sit in the lobby with down coats and wool hats on. If someoneā€¦Ā See More >

                  I would have recommended this building 3, 4, or 5 years ago. Now though somebody was shot and killed 4 blocks north of the front door. It is seeming to be increasingly more unsafe. For the $$ they want you to payā€¦Ā See More >

                      I lived at the Aspen for the first 5 years the building was built. Apparently (or rumour has it) the owners ran out of money and then quickly tried to fill it up. Needless to say, the apartments (while nice and roomy) had some "problems"ā€¦Ā See More >

                          Nice building, crappy staff in weird love affairs (not that there's anything wrong with that, as they say).

                          I've been at The Aspen for a little over a year. It's not that bad, but I guess if I could do it over again I wouldn't move here. You don't really get what you pay for, because the rent is pretty highā€¦Ā See More >
