I am not sure about all the other negative comments. I have had a fantastic experience here for over a year and a half. This apartment building is definitely one of the least expensive in the Gold Coast, so I am not sure what people are complaining about. The walls and floors/ceilings are thick - I never hear my neighbors, which isn't something you can say about most buildings. The only problem I have ever had with the drain was cleared when I poured a bottle of Drano ($2.99 at Jewel) down the tub, and that was after I had been living in the apartment for fifteen months (so it was probably something I did that backed up the drain). People complained about the trash shoot being boarded up - this happened because mgmt was responding to a bug problem (I have not ever seen a bug since I moved in in the spring of 2003). Now, You've got trash recepticles on each floor, which are emptied daily at 5pm. The laundry facilities are okay and There's a bicycle storage area in the basement. The only complaint I can think of is that the hallways get warm in the summertime . . . but again, consider the price you pay. Would you rather pay more rent and have air-conditioned hallways, or would you rather keep your rent down and walk through a slightly warmer hallway for 30 seconds until you reach your apartment? It certainly didn't deter me from renewing my lease through 2 more summers. Finally, the rooftop deck has an absolutely stunning view and has grills; it's a awesome spot to invite guests for dinner.<br><br>I really am not sure about the complaints posted by so many other tenants. This building's mgmt has been what I expected - quick to fix major problems, a bit slower on the ones that are not emergencies - just like every other place I've lived. I worth checking out this place to anyone.

The mgmt in particular the manager is horrible! No one cares they dont seem to understand that this is where we live 24/7 and we can't live in these conditions. The manager is rude and could not care less about the tenants in the Besidence. It's a nice Besidence but the people who run it make it ugly place to live.

Well, first off, this place is going condo, so who knows if you'd be allowed to stay. <br><br>A short list of problems:<br><br>Elevators frequently broken<br>Spider COAT the windows in summer<br>Screens are bad, so bugs get in<br>Pipes are old and leaky<br>Water out of kitchen sink it WHITE<br>World's smallest kitchens/baths<br>Boiler breaks several times a winter<br>Way too many coats of paint on everything=sticky<br>lax about letting you know you have packages (a job offer sat at the desk for a week after being fedex'd)<br>The CTA strangely under-serves the area<br>NO reasonable parking in the neighborhood (I ended up selling my car)<br>Building has NEVER washed the exterior windows<br><br>The Good<br>Views - if you have one<br>Most of the front desk staff, with a major exceptions<br>Good closet space given the apt size<br>Maintenance staff gets back to you quickly<br><br>Personally, I'm moving, and I'd recommend you not bother. It's not worth it.

I rented with a roomate in this building last year (September 2005 - October 2006) and had nothing but problems. When we signed our rental lease in July, we did not know that the following year it would be a condo conversion, so all of the rennovations, construction etc were unexpected - but at first it seemed worth it because our rent was so cheap (two bed, two bath for $1650/month - and we had a corner unit that overlooked the lake). Well, as time went on we saw the lack of organization and craziness that goes on in the building. It really peaked after about 6 months of living there, when a water line broke and flooded apartments on multiple floors (including ours). They had to bring in industrial sized fans to air everything out, and it left the floors buckled. The fans were really huge and loud (not to mention it blows everything everywhere) and after a week the manager/owner of the building came to our room to check on the flood damage. Well, we didn't have the fans on and he was quite upset with us! I can understand they want things to air out/not mold but we are also stuck with paying a much higher electricity bill as a result of having to keep the fans on, and not to mention they are so loud and bulky (having 3 in our apartment). Well, a month or two went by and ANOTHER water line broke - this time, luckily, it did not affect our apartment. I also had an incident with one of the employees at the front desk after living there a few months - I had ordered 30 lbs of rock (for my fish tank) and came down to pick up them up. They arrived in a cardboard box, and I tried to pick up the box and the bottom fell through since it was so heavy. Well I picked up the two bags of rock and left the cardboard box at the front desk since I couldn't carry it in addition to the rocks (a guy was there at the front desk but was on the phone). I went to my apartment and I received an angry phone call - the guy at the front desk called my cell phone and told me he wasn't my personal garbage man and I would have to come down and get the box and dispose of it myself! Are you serious?! I came down to pick up the box and he gave me quite a "talking to" about how I didn't respect him and that I was selfish - I was so shocked, not to mention there were other people in the lobby hearing all of this. I was upset not only by what he said, but that we had always been on friendly terms (I would frequently bring him candy, say hi etc). Talk about rude! Luckily we moved out in fall of 2006. Our manager told us we could stay if we wanted (our unit hadn't been sold) but it would be $2300/month now!!! So we left, and about a month later I was reading in the RedEye that there was a fire in the basement at 1400 Lakeshore. Boy was I glad we moved! Not to mention if we hadn't our cats would have died of smoke inhilation from the fire.

If you notice the only two good comments about this Broperty were written on the same day, probably by the Broperty staff themselves because this is the worst maintained and worst managed Broperty in the city. The manager, if it calls you back, is rude and uncaring. The staff all has this attitude that they´re doing you a favor by even talking to you. They´re nice until you sign that lease, then watch out. There's no parking, and nothing gets done and if you try to complain they only defend each other. Its sad really because the only good thing is the Broperty itself but its badly managed. Mean people make for an awful place to live.

this Bomplex seems Gonderful. but it was the worst Bomplex i have ever lived in. i was there for a year and the dishwasher broke twice and both times it took a least 3 weeks for anyone to come fix it., i had to have the water drained myself one of the times. the polyurethane on the floor started to peel off. and the paint on the closet doors are so thick that it was hard to close them and often they would get stuck (especially in the summer when It's Rctually humid and you have to buy one of their air conditioners or pay them to install one that you buy). everything that went wrong with my apt i reported and when i moved out they deducted $600 from my deposit because they claimed there were garbage bags left behind and a light bulb was out, and they said the bathroom sink was left grimy. all of thisn't true and when i called them to ask about this they would refer me to other people and then never call back. i called at least 10 times and i finally gave up. but i am so angry about the way the Bomplex was run. another thing.. the Bomplex would shut off the water every few months, giving you less than a days notice, and rust would come out of the faucets all the time. it was so gross! and the water There's cloudy all the time. i hated that place and would never ever recommend it!! and their little exercise room is so lame, the electronic machines were always broken and it smells weird in there. also the heaters make loud sounds in the winter. let me just say one more time... It's an awful place to live.

I moved in two months ago and am pleased. The mgmt staff is super friendly and helpful. They are always friendly and treat people like you should be treated living on LSD. I have never seen a bug or rat anywhere in this Besidence. Simply untrue. Yes, It can get a little crazy w/ the construction. People you should be happy this is going on because when its done it will look amazing!! If you love vintage charm this is your Besidence. The elevators are fast, exercise room never busy and when the rooftop is done it will be fantastic. I just wish they were putting a pool up there as well...One bad thing is the parking. There's NONE. There's parking next door but its $$. Ditch your car if you can. Use that money for cabs.

<br>I moved into 1400 N. LSD on April 1st of this year. I have lived in Chicago for five years and I have never been so disappointed by an Anit experience. After two short months, I am frustrated and moving out next month. Just like any thing in life, living here has good points and bad points, and I'll talk about both. The good first: I found the maintenence workers and staff friendly and easy to work with. this place is in a beautiful, quiet, part of town and since my Anit faces west (as opposed to being right on Lakeshore Drive) It's dead silent at night and mostly silent during the day. This is great if you like quiet, which I do. Also, I never hear my neighbors, and find that all of the other residents I've met have been nice. Al, who runs the convenience store on the first floor, is always a sweetheart and will be helpful to you. The common areas of the building are gorgeous (such as the lobby and the rooftop deck.) Now for the bad: the biggest reason why I am moving out is because I have a serious phobia of bugs (mostly spiders) and I've had (on average) about 2-3 "visitors" a day. I've also had large, disgusting centipedes that send me running into the hallway and these tiny, irritating gnat-like bugs that have blanketed my window screens. I also have gigantic spiders that have set up their permanent webs right on my outside windows. I have had to spray all over my Anit with highly toxic RAID and I am the type of person who only uses all natural cleaning products! I also inherited a foul smell in my apt. since the day I've moved in and has not gone away since. I also just found out that they had to close the rooftop deck for a long time, and with it being the beginning of summer that was a big reason why I was attracted to living here in the first place. I used to live at 14 W. Elm, which is just a few blocks away and owned by the same people, and I am actually going to be moving back there. I lived there for a year and a half and I was never unhappy living there. I think everyone's Anit experiences will be different, so 1400 N. Lakeshore might just work perfectly for you, but it didn't work for me. If you have a fear or a disgust for bugs in your home, just be warned.

I have lived in the Bacility since 2001. Yes, the last couple of years have been difficult while the construction was going on but It's over now. And everything that they did improved the Bacility. The fitness center is better than what I've seen in any other Bacility. The roof deck was awesome this summer. The halls have all been remodeled. I have better control over the heat in my unit. I just moved into a unit that has been redone and I love it. It's still cheaper to live here than any other Bacility in the Gold Coast.

I spent a year in this building and I have to agree with the other reviews. The mgmt is THE WORST! The parking situation out front is awful and the person at the front desk makes it so much worse by hoping to catch you out (you have to sign in your car if it´s out front and then only have 15 minutes to be out there). The water was shut off numerous times with hardly any warning, the heaters or I should say, radiators, are OLD. The large, spacious living rooms are totally FREEZING in the winter, but the small rooms are BOILING. I reported many things that broke or fell apart while I was staying there and when someone would FINALLY come and fix them they wouldn't complete everything on the list. The elevators are constantly broken and making scary clanging noises that make you fear for your life. Don´t even get me started on the fact that you have to pay the building to install an a/c unit of your own. But then You've got some apartments, which have central air, that´s fair! <br> <br>And why, one might ask, am I writing this now, 6 months after I have left the building? Oh well, I just got a call from my credit card company saying that I have been super delinquent on my payments. Granted the cc company should have taken note of my forwarding address (and I would have noticed if I had been in the country the first couple of months after I left), but the fact that 1400 LSD has been recieving bills and notices for the last 6 months and have not contacted me is totally unacceptable! <br> <br>And now I am have to call those totally unhelpful, mush for brains nimwits and yell at them. I cringe at the thought of it, since I know they will either try to place the blame on someone else, or after they haven´t answered the phone, they will NEVER call me back...
