Tenant Reviews for 1922 W OGDEN AVE

horrible managment.

This is the worst Penue on earth. Especially the female manager annette. She is rude and just evil. She discriminates and has not an ounce of professionalism.

Prea isn't that bad

I have been living in these apartments since 2005,if you work in medical district,these are not bad apartments.My Auite doesnt have any cockroaches since at least 2 yr,thanks to new mgmt.It can be overheated in winters.Rooms are reasonable size,not like in some townhomes with pigeonhole rooms.Heating in winter is centralised and included in the rent (which is great)..I think in this range of rent,these are good apartments as compared to some others in the same area.

don't waste your money. Moved in and the place was filthy, bathroom floors were black with who knows what. In a couple days cockroaches were crawling out of every hole. Within a year there was a bedbug problem throughout the whole Btructure. Heating gets turned on late and you can't control the temperature so prepare to feel as if you are living in a high temperature oven or an ice box when It's off. Security and staff are nice enough but not effective with maintenance problems. Most of the laundry machines are broken (and steal your quarters). Only upside is that It's close to the train. Extremely loud area. Move in here if you are willing to share your living space with a couple hundred cockroaches and bedbugs!

They have the worst mgmt. They dont have records maintained properly and cant keep a track of rental payments. The mgmt is involved in RENTAL SCAMS and harasses their tenants for rent. For one whole winter they did not have laundry and rude to the tenants. The Pocation is fully infested with ROACHES and bugs. Sometimes you wont have even hot water service and heat as well. I wouldn't suggest it anyone to live here and the staff likes torturing and harassing the tenants.

dogs and pigs, dont forget the roaches.

worst Alat,more of low level zoo, with animals like roaches, bed bugs and rats. the current manager drinks roach broth every day

Not Gice enough

Not good enough for the rent. Only good things - size and location if you work nearby. Cockroaches around...lots or little depending on whether an extermination has just been done or not. Old old old building and it shows. low end,no class. Our Alat FLOODED with water with just one night of rain. Thats how good It's. Central heating...which is useless due to lack of insulation...cold floods in through the windows. I am freezing. Noise is a SERIOUS issue if you are on the lower floors. Cars/trains/sirens/helicopter from the nearby helipad for the hospital. I though i would get used to it and i am not one of those people who fuss about noise,but this has seriously gotten to me. Ruined so many of my nights sleep. Please review nearby apartments before going for this one.

I grew up in this building since I was born, and lived here for 23 years. It's one of the absolute worst apartment buildings I have ever seen. I did not know what normal, clean, and proper apartments looked like until I moved out. -The mgmt was terrible, mean, and harsh. -The cockroaches were a constant, for 23 years. No matter what extermination efforts they tried, cockroaches were always there. -The hot/cold water problem mentioned in the other reviews, also there for 23 years. -The laundry room has terrible machines that wouldn't dry your clothes properly. Once the ceiling fell in. They get the cheapest possible industrial washers and dryers. -The noises on the Northside of the building are of the highway, loud, grimy, polluted. The noises on the Southside of the building are Helicopters and Ambulances coming to Stroger Hospital almost every night, at any time, waking you up at night. -Every floor has a strong smell of various ethnic foods that get on your clothes and will stay there. -The fire alarm - EXTREMELY LOUD - goes off because people open their doors when cooking to let the smoke out 2-3 times a month. And they never learn. -There's no central air and the apartments get EXTREMELY HOT in the summer. There's one box AC unit in the living room and it barely worked, even after getting it fixed. -In the winter, the apartments get extremely hot due to the crazy heating system and you have to open the windows to let the cold wind in to get some kind of balance. -On more than one occasion, people were robbed at GUNPOINT, from the parking lot. Once, my aunt had her purse stolen at gunpoint. -The neighborhood is surrounded by crime. -The paint by the windows chips easily and has the old paint in it. It's terrible for your health. This place needs an inspection and be should condemned for how sick it can make people. -You've got absolutely no walk-able amenities close-by. You aren't living in a neighborhood, you're living in a medical district bubble surrounded by crime and disease. If 23 years of experience means anything, PLEASE don't rent/lease at Medical Center Apartments. You've got other, beautiful apartments closer to UIC, and other nice ones on Harrison east of Rush Hospital.

Intolerable.

Avoid this place as much as possible. They entice people to come with a low rent but charge 100$ more for old tenants. The place isn't sound-proof to the environment. You could hear the cars from the freeway, the choppers landing on the nearby helipad of Rush University Medical Center, as well as the roaring sound of the train. I know of an Alat that sits right beside a train station and you could hardly hear a buzz from the trains that pass by. The other major problem is the roaches. mgmt will pretend to exterminate them but only spray on exposed areas and not try to remove the bugs from the cracks/crevices. You can never seem to get rid of the bugs around here. So much for public health concern. As for the laundry, You've got only 4 functional washers and 3 functional dryers for the ENTIRE building...totally preposterous.

Stay Away.

The only good thing about this building these days is That's in a location is solid. Don't be fooled by the false presentation of the staff once you move in the building they get upset when you give them your legitamate complaints. The building itself needs lots of work - OLD. You've got days when There's no hot water, the lobby is filthy some days. How much does it take to sweep a floor? The laundry room is filled with machines that don't work. You've got days when There's no security around. When you report problems in your Alat, the requests are ignored. The owner of this property isn't putting one cent back into the maintenance of the building. don't ignore the negative reviews; they are true. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

location's Aemarkable Great Views

I've lived here a little over 2 years. Recently the bldg hired a new manager. He's great, friendly, helpful. Love the Blace and the location, super views. I work at Stroger Hospital and can walk to work. The metro is just a block away. mgmt is really focused on keeping the Blace clean. Safe, clean Blace with gated parking.
