Horrible management company and rip off artists...
1137 W Pratt is the biggest dump on the planet (also referred to them as "Pratt Shore" corporate housing).
The place looks like maybe your typical run down building, but when you dig deeper it's just gross. There were bugs. But that was the least of their problems. Apt. Was filthy dirty when I moved in.
The freight elevator is out of service permanently. The passenger elevator is broken at least once daily when I was trying to use it... There were two times when the elevator was completely out of service for over a week at a time. When I called Stan Properties, they didn't seem to care or had some excuse. They would always try to blame the breakdown on other residents who didn't close the doors, etc. It's one of those really ancient elevators that has a metal bar system to open/close, then each floor has an actual door... If anything isn't tightly closed the whole elevator is out until someone walks up 8 flights of stairs to figure out what isn't tightly closed. (and it's not that people would forget to close the doors, the air flow generated by the movement of the elevator was enough to push the doors to cause it to not operate).
This place needs to be called into the Chicago Department of Buildings for a long overdue elevator inspection (there isn't a certificate posted, presumably because the elevator is so unsafe it couldn't pass inspection).
The trash in back constantly overflows. They at one point put a sign up saying if you left trash outside of the dumpster they would fine you $500. The problem is, half the trash that spilled out of the dumpster was there because homeless people walk through the alley emptying them out to find the goodies. Other times—around the 1st of the month when people flee for their lives—the trash is just too full and there's no better place.
Some of the residents mean well, but others clearly don't. People have puked in the elevators, etc..
Oh and they STEAL YOUR MONEY!!! BEWARE... THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY!!!
Never, ever, ever rent from these people they are scum!!!
Check out their Better Business Bureau rating it speaks for itself... They have an F rating.
