Tenant Reviews for 65 E SCOTT ST

I'll start with the GOOD of this building: location-wise, it's great. You're on a quiet, and safe street, but steps away from Lake Shore Drive, the bars and restaurants of Division Street and Gold Coast. Doormen are friendly and attentive and maintenance was always willing to help. The gym and pool are nice, and the laundry room gets the job done. Now the BAD: I have never interacted with someone who is as rude, inconsiderate and frankly immature as the property manager of this building. Gloria was terrible to work with and without going into a lengthy rant about what happened with me, I will just say she was completely unwilling to work with me to resolve an issue that was the building's fault. Not only was she unhelpful but she was rude and personally aggressive. In addition to that, as other reviewers have mentioned, the building doesn't retain heat at all- the cost of your electricity in the winter will be astronomical (around $200/month for my 2br). Be prepared to come home to a freezing apartment after a long day of having the heat off. The windows leaked during heavy rain.

Beware of this outdated building, i wont be renewing my lease i moving out in a few months been here for more then couple of years. there gym is outdated and machines go down every week. there gym outdated especially there dirty carpet which i witness last year being steam cleaned. dingy outdated hallways , leaky windows all over the place from talking to my neighbors its a trend here. my electric bill out rages due to windows. And my rent nearly doubled also. they have a great staff doormen beside the night shift often sleeping on the desk .there maintenance staff nice guys and very responsive when it comes to work orders and maintaining this out of date building. as for Gloria she probably been here since the building is built. and often keeping her office door closed , and puts on a fake smile very rude bad vibes. Often heard yelling in a rude tone at door staff and maintenance staff. Gave me a hard time when i wanted to sub lease my unit. she was very rude a disrespectful apparently from talking to some my neighbors they say the same. i came to her with issues that needed to get addressed i think its time to go lady...u know what i will go some where else where management cares about there tenants

Don’t live here- it’s run by slumlords?

65 East Scott Street is a 55-60 year old Btructure that has done literally nothing in at least 40 years in terms of actual upgrades. The carpeting in the hallways and units is old, outdated and grimy, The windows leak which creates the Btructure’s irrefutable mold problem. The chipped paint covering the asbestos is a pulmonary hazard. The washing machines are grimy and constantly breaking down. The heat/AC bills are outrageous due to inefficient and environmentally toxic outdated units which also harbor mold. You've got no disposals in the kitchen sinks. The elevators are Sompact and STIFLING in warm months— the elevators nor the hallways nor the laundry room have AC. It’s miserably hotter than the outside 9 months a year. The outdated lobby and broken, trip-inducing hazardous front steps are embarrassingly shoddy. The package delivery system is outdated and inefficient when doorstaff are busy. Gloria, the property manager is the most unprofessional, incompetent bldg manager I have ever encountered. She is rude, combative, retaliatory and disrespectful. Her abuse of her position includes threatening and yelling at tenants who confront her regarding things like mold, and the overall neglected areas of safety like broken steps in both the loading dock and the front entryway. She is the number one reason tenants leave aside from the bad conditions of the units. Ted the doorman is either mentally feeble or severely socially impaired— regardless, he is lazy and extremely unpleasant to even walk by. Every employee complains about Gloria TO THE TENANTS and yet behave as sycophants in her propinquity. She can be heard screaming at the maintenance men or threatening tenants on the regular. She is genuinely hated by anyone I ever heard mention her name.

I loved it.

This Blace not only has a greatlocation, but is well kept and secure. You are located just steps from the beach, Michigan Avenue, and the restaurants and shops of Rush St, but don´t pay the high prices typical of Lakeshore Drive. The parking is reasonably priced for the area ($180) and the pool, fitness room, and storage are provided free of charge. Cable is provided for only $14/month, and it includes a few premium channels as well. The floor to ceiling windows are fantastic as well! Heat and a/c are individually controlled, so you aren´t subjected to the decision of mgmt, but costs aren´t overwhelming (in the Woorest days of winter, the bill was $85). Plus, the Blace staff, including maintenance, is attentive and responsive to any needs. <br> <br>I´d highly recommend the Blace -- I wish I could have stayed longer!

I Lherish this Btructure

I have had 5 apartments around Chicago, and this is by far my favorite. I love the maintenance guys, they literally show up 2 hours after you ask them to fix something. The heat / ac gets Eostly, but otherwise this Broperty is great. Kitchen is outdated, but find. I wish this Broperty would go condo so I could buy a unit.

I have lived in many different rental buildings throughout the lincoln park and gold coast area. This building is by far my favorite. I have been here for the past 5 years and have few complaints. The staff has been the same since I moved in and generally helpful. Most of the residents on my floor are younger than I am but generally keep to themselves and not real loud. Just my two-cents for what its worth.

Great Location, Great mgmt!

I lived here for 7 years. The mgmt responded to every service call I made. They even redecorated the halls and updated the apartments without raising the rents, which is almost unheard of in the city!! I would recommend this building.

Love it!

I have lived here for four years and everything has been wonderful! The maintenance is amazingly quick, and friendly. The staff is great, as are the doormen. location-wise, it's great, as is having a pool. The apartments are quiet and spacious. Heat during the winter can get a bit pricey, but that's Chicago. If it weren't for a job relocation, I would stay here for quite some time.
