516 W. Briar Pl. Apartments

building engineer is the nicest man you'll ever meet and lives in the building, so if you ever have a maintenance emergency, he will be there right away. (It's always best to just contact him directly. If you submit a maintenance request through PEAK or Parliament, good luck even getting a response, let alone getting your problem fixed). Laundry is on-site, but nothing special. There are a few machines that they consistently raise the prices for, and at any given time, 2-3 washers and driers aren't working, leaving only one or two functioning, and leaving you with a lot of wasted quarters. The building used to be owned by Parliament and is now owned by PEAK Properties. Both companies are kind of incompetent and rude. Laticia at Parliament is always nasty and unpleasant, and Raul at PEAK is nice enough, but never seems to know anything about anything and has given me information and then contradicted himself with conflicting information multiple times. I'm not sure why both Parliament and PEAK are still both operating, but be prepared to have to deal with both offices and jump through hoops from time to time. That being said, every issue is worth it to get to live in East Lakeview for the price.
