Rany Management

This place is a dump. The building is so dirty, the outside is disgustingly dirty it is an eyesore amongst other buildings. I have been here 24 years and enough is enough, they are clueless how to run or keep a building clean. We now have cockroaches and that was the last draw for me. If you see the images with the white concrete walls and black floor that is the trash room the walls need to be cleaned that is garbage that smells on the walls, the white substance you see on the floor is food for the cockroaches to eat so it will kill them. The dark spots on the hallway rug are urine from dogs. They just put an Airwick in the hallways, that does not do anything you need to have the rugs professionally cleaned. Look inside the elevators rusty and absolutely dirty. They have a cleaning crew that comes once a week, most places have windows cleaned daily, the floors swept daily not in this place. The outside grass had beer bottles, sole cups, paper plates that disintegrated because they were there so long. I asked them over and over to hire a high school kid and let him/her pick up all the garbage. They have absolutely no pride in themselves which shows in the way the building is kept one of the managers is a director......if I was going to hire someone, I would look at the building they managed, that is their resume and this director would receive an F she and all of them are clueless how to run a building. EVERY year the front doors break when it gets windy, this is a continual problem. The elevators were closed by the City of Chicago and they "temporarily" fixed them very unsafe. This week the fire department was here a lady was stuck in the elevator. Again, the last straw for me was cockroaches. You can see my apartment window, the apartment next to me has a towel outside it has been there for months, I sent an email to the manager asking her to please talk to that tenant, it is still there ignored by them. I was ALWAYS asked by management if they could show my apartment to when the bank came or the insurance company came as my apartment is always immaculate. Look at the mailroom there are two pictures one of it all in order and the other with packages all over the place even outside in the lobby and other parts of the building. I on my own would situate the mail every day. I live here I wanted the building in order, I took pride in it. Even the simple things look at the sign that says "no dogs allowed" it was sideways, I put it straight up as it should be, is it really that difficult? I would tell them pick up all the cigarette buts in front of our building by the doors, sidewalk.... ignored, pull the weeds.....ignored. I was NEVER, EVER late with my rent not once always paid on time, treated this building like my own, but again the last straw was major cockroaches. They have a roof top; however, they do not even advertise it anymore the city closed it down about 10 years ago as it was not safe and they never fixed it. You might ask, me why were you here for 24 if you were so unhappy. The first 12 years they had REAL managers that kept the building clean. I have a house out of state and travel extensively for work, so I was not here all the time and just thought it would get better and again the cockroaches did it for me. My rent was fair 1175.00, now it is raised to 1500.00 for a new tenant, however you can find much more nicer buildings for the same or a bit more that are cleaner and you would be proud to bring people over to your home. The other week I was on the bus talking to someone we were talking about where we live, she thought I lived at 4170 N Marine (that building is PRISTINE, always cleaning the windows, grass is green, flowers) and she said too bad you have to look at that eyesore soar next to it. I was too embarrassed to correct her and say no the eyesore is where I live :(
