5540 Hyde Park by 3L Living, chicago-il

Lived here for 8 months and couldn’t stand it anymore. I saw several cockroaches everyday, the laundry room was constantly flooding with sewage, and the management was completely unresponsive. It’s probably nicer to live in a tent under a bridge than to rent from this place. If you could leave prison, it’d probably be nicer to live in a jail cell than here.

Do not rent here. Unless you are at risk of homelessness during the winter months, I would not recommend residing at this property. During my tenancy, I experienced repeated plumbing issues in which toilets ran continuously and leaked, resulting in water flooding the hallways. On one occasion, maintenance was contacted but did not respond. After an earlier incident, two individuals arrived, briefly dried the carpets using equipment resembling a leaf blower, and then departed without further remediation. The building frequently smells of smoke, and I did not observe any functioning fire alarms. Trash collection is inconsistent, and insects have been present in the refrigerator located in the common areas. Sleep is often disrupted due to persistent noise, including frequent yelling both inside and outside the building. Additionally, another tenant recently reported a robbery involving a sudden snatching, which was investigated by the Chicago Police Department. The building is currently under investigation by the Chicago Building Department for multiple code and health violations.

The building is infested and all they do is spray the rooms every now and then. There is no Amazon Hub. The gym is old and broken down. The laundry room frequently smells, floods, and is actively dirty. A homeless man walked in and STOLE my laundry bag.

Half of the amenities are gone so I dont know why the site still says" Amazon hub, keyless entry, the internet comes and goes, the computers dont work anymore, there is no printing station anymore, they took the pool table equipment away and everything else and theres no seating area anymore where the couches use to be" .The place has gone down really bad. No one in the building is upkeeping the place. Theres roaches everywhere, didnt have heat for 2 weeks , lights went in and out, the hot water was off for 1 week and the trash would be overfull. We would get emails before saying the reason why the power would go out is because everybody was using the space heater at the same time and that we have to work together to stop the lights from going out. That doesnt even make sense because the building should be able to hold the power of all the outlets if plugged in. How would tenants know when to plug in and to not plug in?? Alot of the lease have been broken on the landlords end and the landlord doesnt even care. The building needs to be shutdown because everything is falling apart, whether its the ceiling and etc. No compensation or rent lowered for putting the tenants thru all this whether its intentional or not. The place just looks horrible. The 5 star reviews are either not real or people who toured and even if you toured, theres no way you'd miss thay the in-person tour doesnt match whats online because the tenants who live here will say other wise.

Open pipes with running water in the basement for 3 days straight flooding the basement, no hot water for 2 weeks in the summer and 1 week in the fall, no internet for 2 months straight (October to late December), roach infestation, no protection because the back door is broken and can't close, the power is currently out for 2 days straight in the winter and most of all, currently no heat for 2 weeks straight in the winter. Anyone who wants to occupy an apartment from here is insane All tenants living in the building should come together, file a lawsuit against 3L management and sue them.
