The Annabelle Apartments

I went to a scheduled viewing and while I was waiting for my appointment time another man who had an appointment one hour before me had to come on our tour because the dude forgot about him or something I guess. As soon as he walked in he was running around frantically and his secretary told me he was in a rush to leave even though I had scheduled this a week in advance anyways he was like practically making me and this other guy run just to keep up with him which I was here to potentially see... about a home which is not a rushed decision. While going to see the units i had some difficulty trying to turn on the shower due to me not being strong enough because it wouldn’t budge and I made a note that it was not working, of course he goes in and it turns on when he does it the water turns on and then was pretty rude about it saying “oh it doesn’t work now does it?” It was weird, he was also like shouting and chomping gum the whole time. Anyways not even like 30 seconds after we shut the door he flat asked me “do you want it or not?” Anyways the place isn’t ugly but it’s pretty small but I just got bad vibes all around my gut just told me to stay away.

I liked it when I first moved in but now the staff and the residents don’t seem to care. Residents act entitled, like they can leave their garbage wherever they want and someone else will clean it. There are so many drug addicts, running up and down the fire escapes, blasting their music late at night. Someone got 25 noise complaints and the police called on them many, many times and no eviction and the first floor smells awful. As for my apartment, it’s a nice studio, but the plumbing is awful.... The ceiling in my bathroom caved in because of water a leak, caused by a mistake made by maintenance and now it’s doing the same thing and the management is making me wait a full day until anyone will even look at it. Do they want their building to literally fall apart? Our current property manager doesn’t care and it shows. I want to like this person, but after my first interaction, I can tell they’re just collecting a check and phoning it in. It’s location is it’s only saving grace at this point, but there are better options for cheaper. Lee mas

Let me start this review off by saying, Roberto, the property manager, is fantastic. I have never had a property manager that cares so much about the tenants. I am new to Chicago, and Roberto helped me a lot with moving in, and getting settled. The building is an older style, with a beautiful interior. I really feel at home here. If there is ever an issue, management fixes it. Highly recommend that you check it out!

the bathroom in the picture is filthy so what do you think the bathrooms actually look like...gross!
