I lived in this building for years and moved out recently due to the extreme lack of professional maintenance although I am not a picky person. If something breaks, chances are it won’t get fixed especially if it costs some money to do so. The girl who supervises the building will take a look at whatever you need fixed after you call her and get stood up several times. Many of the locks all around are broken and give you a hard time when you use your keys to get in. Some units, including the one
...I used to live in, have a busted thermostat that won’t sense the temperature in the unit allowing it to switch the heat valve On/Off according to the set temperature, so you have to bypass the valve and keep the heat on, which means you have to keep some windows open in the winter. The rent is way too high for the square-foot area of the units and the services provided. The shower was the worst I have ever seen when it comes to the temperature of the water. While you are taking a shower, it switches between hot and cold in an instant, which is very uncomfortable and might cause a shock. Again she will take a look at it and won’t offer any solutions although she is quite the talker. The garage door has been acting funny for years now with no clear plan to fix it. The kitchen is super tiny. Lastly and most frustratingly, this superintendent girl WILL take a big portion of your security deposit no matter how hard you clean before you leave the unit. Make sure you take photos before you move in and right after you are done moving all your stuff out. I left my unit much cleaner than I found it, and she still made up excuses to keep 70% of the security deposit. I am not the only one she did this with. In fact almost all of the tenants who moved out recently have faced this issue. The only pros are its proximity to UWM and North Ave, its low-noise levels, decent walk-in closet, and the existence of a hose in the basement if you want to wash your car.
