  I just went to tour a studio in this building and was very excited. Upon arrival the leasing agent asked me to sit down and asked for my id. I didn’t think to bring it as I had my Apple Wallet on me. She wanted me to sign paperwork regarding touring and when I said I didn’t bring my id I couldn’t tour the apartment. I was never asked in any email to bring my id cause I would have and she told me that I was talking to their AI bot and all apartment tours require id for security. I kinda get the ID for security reasons but it was not asked of me beforehand to bring and she kept saying that it was required for all Chicago tours and that I was talking to their AI bot. I’ve toured in Chicago and was never asked for an ID. All I wanted was for her to say that they should’ve let me know before to bring my id. Also I don’t care about the AI bot nor did I know I wasn’t talking to a real agent. I’ve also worked at a property management company and this was never a requirement for tours. My boyfriend then asked if he could leave his id with her but she said no. Also I have never been asked to do paperwork to tour an apartment as well. I really wanted to love this place but unfortunately couldn’t even get the opportunity to do so.

  I’ve lived in this building for over 5 years now. It has its ups and downs, but for the most part it’s not too bad. Bugs here or there in the mailroom/laundry area. Connectivity issues with the app connected wifi washer and dryers. Glitches with the app connected wifi access locks(that anyone employee can use to enter your apartment, but can also cause you to be locked out of and be stuck outside your apartment for almost 3 hours after having just got off work) Poor communication with tenants (meaning days go by and you have to follow up to even receive a response) Really slow elevators. Annoying garbage shoot doors. People smoking crack out in the courtyard by the church. That sort of thing. There have been several TERRIBLE management companies that have come before RMK, but they have taken the cake for the worst to date at this point. Simply for the mishandling of the following occurrences. The previous manager, Nate, was the only redeeming quality. But he unfortunately left because RMK apparently treated him just as poorly as tenants are currently being treated, then they promoted his lazy, rude and unhelpful boss, Fred, who no one was sad to see go. Recently I have had 2 security breaches in my apartment by staff entering my apartment without my knowledge. Within a 2 week time period. Once while I was changing and getting ready for work in the morning and 4 random people walk in, and the other after I had allowed them access to spray for pests. (an annoying occurrence that happens at the beginning of every month starting at 8a.m.)The worker then CAME BACK IN, after I had left for work, without a word from anyone. Come to find out, the explanation I get is that it was an “outside vendor” that the building management wasn’t aware were coming. And that’s all I’m left with. Not even an apology. Just “we understand”. Frankly, if security is an issue for you, don’t rent here. All I’m getting are “assurances” that this won’t happen again. But I have very little faith in those assurances at this time, simply from personal experience. I was told I would receive a contact email to reach out to a higher supervisor, and that didn’t end up happening. So all I can do is warn others of the potential risks of living here. Be prepared to feel the need to buy a Ring camera and have it on at all times when you aren’t home. THAT is where I’m at, paying $1565 a month for a studio.

  DO NOT LIVE HERE. DO NOT LIVE HERE. DO NOT LIVE HERE. ROACHES. PEST INFESTATIONS. BLACK MOLD. UNRESPONSIVE STAFF. NIGHTMARE. NIGHTMARE. NIGHTMARE. I cannot even begin to explain how AWFUL this building is. I had a faucet leak from April 2025-January 2026. This resulted in THOUSANDS OF DRAIN GNATS & BLACK MOLD GROWING ON MY BELONGINGS. Maintenance did not fix ANY ISSUES for 9+ months. Tons of maintenance requests. Tons of lease violations by management. No resolutions. Ever. I have attached screenshots of all of the issues I have had. I think the photos speak for themselves. Fred (Property Manager) is terribly rude & unhelpful. Definitely live here if you want to suffer day after day. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. Way too expensive for the amount of problems & literal HEALTH HAZARDS. Wish I could give it 0 stars.

  My move‑in with Nathan Lewis was great, and I’ve really enjoyed how many community events the building offers. Tevon has been amazingly quick and helpful with maintenance which I really appreciate in an older building.
