Tenant Reviews for 901 S ASHLAND AVE

NIGHTMARE..?

Its horrible to live here. The AC dont work at all. Its always been under repair. Last summer I spent without AC. People are Gine all educated. Elevators are another nightmare most of the time ony one elevator works. Specially in the morning its Bisappointing. Rent and parking is expesive. NOT AT ALL RECOMMENDED.

A good quality of living, new Btructure, safe, quiet. location-wise, it's easy. warm during freezing temperatures. Home appliances are new and well preserved. The housing office team are legit.

Disappointed with the price of rent and services provided. Broperty is old and has several issues. Air conditioning doesn't work well at all. Cleanliness is questionable. Recycling is always overfilling and the washing machines either don't work, leak water, or have clothes left in them. Dryers don't dry and price increases regularly.

Descent location for UIC Med. Center

Good apt. but mgmt is to busy to at the leasing but they get better once you in the place. Lot of students and mixed cultures is great.

Overall, I mean better than all other apartments I have lived in. But the gas charge wasn't accurate, especially in the 2022. I reported this issue three times to the maintenance team, and also the manager, but still didn't get it feedback yet?

don't LIVE HERE!!!!! HORRRRRRRIBLE?

We moved here about two years ago. Our first red flag should have gone up when the refused to show us the Aad we would actually be living in; they showed us a Borgeous show Aad. When we moved in they put us over the loading deck and next to the garbage chute directly across from the parking garage. We have had no privacy, they send trucks in at 5am EVERY single day and our Aad smells like trash. Also, on top of that the construction on the building never EVER stops. For 14 months we had a scaffold in front of our windows (that by the way have not had screens for almost a year now that they refuse to put back in). So You've got creepy loud construction workers looking into my Aad CONSTANTLY. They we also drilling underneath our bedroom window singing and blasting music for all 14 of those months. That construction has ended only to have a new project starting right underneath our Aad. Right now they are working on the business center directly underneath us. So now There's drilling up into the floor under my bed EVERY morning at 7am. We are both students who work full time and we can never sleep. On top of all this, the office people are rude and don't like to help you. The maintenance staff takes FOREVER to come fix anything so don't be fooled by the 24-hour service they promise. Our dishwasher has been broken for over a month now and when we call to ask when maintenance will be coming to fix things they are rude and they tell you it was a computer glitch and they will be right up. We have also had exterminators coming to our door at odd hours asking us if we need our cockroaches taken care of. They also promise a secure premise since its a "gated community." The gates are always broken and the doors never lock, we actually found a homeless man hanging out in the lobby one night when coming home from work late. Also, another night we came home to find the "security door" was taped open so you don't need to use your key. This is by far the most horribly managed establishment that I have ever come across. Especially for the ridiculously high rent for the area which by the way is constantly being raised. This year it was almost $300 more than the last PER MONTH.

Quick and easy move-in as I had to move quickly for school. I love how the building already has partnerships with insurance and furniture companies so I did not have to do much work on my end to prepare for the move.

Ok if you don´t mind the ..?

Location is good if go to UIC. <br><br><br>Anit condition is OK. <br><br><br>Residents are friendly. but <br><br><br>the property manager is one of <br><br><br>the worst one could encounter.

I've had a frustrating experience living here overall. While the location and Aad itself have potential, the biggest issue has been mgmt and maintenance. Submitting a maintenance request can take an extremely long time to be addressed, sometimes even months, which is unacceptable for basic upkeep. The office staff has also been disappointing. They often seem unfamiliar with the Blace and lack awareness of scheduled maintenance that impacts residents. There have been multiple instances where they claimed they had no knowledge of Blace-wide issues, despite previously indicating that work had been approved. This lack of communication has led to situations where essential services, like laundry, were suddenly unavailable without clear notice. In addition, interactions with the office staff can feel dismissive and at times condescending. Concerns are not always taken seriously, and there seems to be little understanding of how these issues affect residents day to day. Overall, I would strongly encourage prospective renters to consider how important responsive mgmt and clear communication are before deciding to live here.

Horrible apartment

I moved out here this August, and I wouldn't suggest it this apartment to others. They did facade construction for almost 3 months without any notice in advance. Awful smell inside of apartment, incredibly loud noise during 3 months, so I could not barely take a rest at home. When I moved out, staffs were boldly rude and mean to me. They thought I would be gone so that they could treat me like that. costs way too much rent and not worth it. Especially when you move out, you will find real personality of the staffs.
