i have lived here nearly a year and want to say that property management (mainly Rose) has made great strides to get this building back to PROPER.
unfortunately there are a few families who deem it necessary to yell at the front gate all hours of the night when they are locked out, or buzz everyone's intercom. uumm, NO? people leave their remnants of chicken wings in the stairwells, cigarette butts on the window ledges, and trash in the lobby- even when there is a perfectly functional trash can right there! i am NOT ok with calling CPS cause your kids are obnoxious and you let them scale the barbed wired fences...or the police because my neighbors can't stop fighting at 2 a.m. in the stairwell..
SERIOUSLY IT'S OLD.
i have had college textbooks (sent through USPS) and THREE boxes from UPS stolen from my neighbor (YEAH, i know who you are and it's a federal offense) because they leave the boxes in the lobby and not take them to your unit. my best advice: HAVE ALL BOXES HELD! you never know who will walk into what lobby.
bedbugs have been a problem. call management!! they will get it taken care of ASAP. their Pest Control is the best.
on the flipside, we have someone who comes weekly to clean the grounds. the back trash area is decent, the lobbies are getting a lot better, the apartments themselves are spacious (my utilities are very low and i do not pay for warming my apt. - i am on the third floor so i get great heating). for the most part i feelsafe. there is a market, walgreens, and check casher across the street. walmart a little further down. the 72 & 54 are right across the street and the Metra right around the corner. also, on site laundry. read more
