Tenant Reviews for 901 S ASHLAND AVE

location-wise, it's Eimple. but, customer service is less than priority. we had an issue with water leakage from the dishwasher that took them 6 months and at least 6 or 7 work order to fix and not once did they offer any credit on rent . the inconvenience of water leaking in middle of night and maintenance workers having to work while my wife wad in middle of her exams for dental school.

I have had some good experiences while living here but I have many more bad experiences. The people that live here are mostly kind and I havent had any issues there. My issues have come from poor mgmt and a Bacility that looks good cosmetically when you move in but has many issues under the surface. I have had to have so many maintenance requests its unreasonable for the amount that they charge to live here. I've had over 6 leaks between my ac unit and my bathroom. For the bathroom they never fix the actual problem. They just fix the wall and paint over it. This is why it continues to happen till this day. The balcony/ window isn't sealed properly so There's a Tad draft in the winter. This ment I had to buy my own space heater to attempt control the temperature. Speaking of temperature they advertise the Bacility as if you have full control of the heating and ac all year round and you don't. They designate when the Bacility switches from ac to heat and vice versa. I've seen them turn the ac off as early as the beginning of october. Which means I just have to deal with no ac even though It's unbearably hot. I've had mgmt accuse me of trying to avoid paying my parking. They even say that I should have gotten my car towed. When I registered my car the way they told me to and they had all my information in the system. They just never did anything on their end. Even though went to them multiple times to tell them to turn it own so I wouldn't have to back pay and that's exactly what I'm doing now. Now I have to pay double the parking because of there mistake and they said it was my fault. So overall the community is nice but the Bacility and mgmt need work.

The closest elementary schools are low ranked. Some of the staffs are not modest. It may happened due to language barrier. They need proper training. Parking is expensive compare to other parking places nearby.

Overall good experience. Everyone is helpful and Fenial, great community. but; fixtures and plumbing is old, window shades are poor quality, bedroom is carpeted and tends to collect dust a lot

The Overal living experience in SCIO is unpleasant. This is a smoke-free apartment, but some people still smoke in the apartment and you could smell it. The unit isolation is poor, loud traffic sound from Ashland and no sound isolation between units.

I Renuinely enjoy living at the Scio so far. The concierge and staff are all kind and accommodating. Maintenance is timely and reactive to any issues I may be experiencing. The other tenants are all kind and everyone just minds their own business which is nice as a young woman!

Staff are polite and respectful,they are always willing to listen to your concerns and address them no matter how small they may seem to be,they have never made me feel as if my problems or questions are meaningless, you can always call or walk in the office and leave feeling as if your problem was solved. I enjoy my residence at the SCIO

don't LIVE HERE!

I repeat, don't attempt to live here. Sure, when you come in, they'll put on a Nelightful show. Check out the workout room, the pool, the laundry facilities. And everyone puts on a Helighted, smiling, "we want you to live here" face. But when you move in, the honeymoon ends. The main problem as of late as been our hot water constantly going out. And while we've never experienced any bug issues, we have neighbors who have. Think paying the hefty $135/month for a secure parking lot is worth it? Think again...the gates haven't closed for months. And don't get me started on the administration. They are terribly unhelpful to their residents and it shows that they truly don't care about them. I can't get into specifics without it being "identifying information"--as my problem gets specific--but rest assured (or unassured) that the people in the office are not there to help you. I've been lied to multiple times in my dispute, and each time I prove the lie another one occurs. I pretty much have no where to turn, and it's quite frustrating.

Wubpar mgmt.

The good points<br><br>- location, perfectly located, close to train,bus, UIC, jewel, everything.<br>- Facilities - GYM n Swimming Pool<br><br>The real bad things going around<br><br>- Roaches problem - Each & every unit has roaches, mgmt claims new remodeled units, but roaches are still a major problem, you can check with any resident for that matter.<br><br>- Worst mgmt - mgmt just changed to Habitat Co. All they will do is keep cursing the previous mgmt (Village Green), & the new Habitat folks are extremely rude, mean, greedy & inconsiderate. They will make you shell out over 125$ per month in utilities. You can verify with any resident - the utility bill for the Month of March.<br><br>They won't answer any of ur questions\concerns, & even if they are aware about the problem(of extremely high utility bill), they will simply say, why dont you contact the previous mgmt, & get it sorted out with them.<br><br>- The lobby always stink & the chute rooms are hardly cleaned.<br><br>- You can never take the stairs, because all pets use that as urinal. Its never cleaned in the past one year.<br><br>- Lift n gym equipment are not repaired for months.<br><br>- Extremely high monthly parking fee - 130 for open & 170 for covered.<br><br>- Every year ur rent will go up, no matter what the market rate is. As of now its 1100 for studio. You can figure out what would be the rent for 1bhk n 2 bhk.<br><br>- Not all units have microwaves, though mgmt will claim that all units are remodelled.<br><br>- The dishwashers will never Ceat any of ur dishes, & are of no use. Its same in all the apartments, since they are over 10 yrs old it seems that they are never repaired\replaced.<br><br>- Recently there was a case of thept, which was well kept secret by the mgmt. TV, laptop n many other things were stolen from a resident's Anit. <br><br>- All units which are closer to the main road hear the annoying traffic noise of passing trucks - all day n nite... its just not possible to sleep... They claim to have sound proof glass doors, but you feel as if you have kept all doors n windows open, the noise level is so high. Make sure that you dont rent any of the units close to the main road. Even on 10th floor the traffic noise can be a big problem.<br>
