I lived in this building for 2 years, around 1-2 roaches a year. However, the end of last year I had an almost daily occurrence with roaches in my kitchen, bathroom, and hallways for about a month. My unit has been approved by pest control that the roaches were not coming due to the cleanliness of the room, but the building itself. One was crawling outside my door and went into the cracks of the front door. I spent hundreds to roach proof my unit and locked most my belongings in plastic bins... instead of the cupboards or closet due to the roach sightings there. I reached out to management, and was dismissed that I was not experiencing a roach infestation and was only flagged for the once a month pest control treatment.

Communication was delayed regarding the matter and seeking out in-person conversations, I was left waiting for 40 minutes after being told that my concerns regarding personal expenses to roach proof and inability to use certain parts of the unit were "repetitive", thus not a priority to respond to. I was working with tenant's rights organizations and managed to break my lease, no penalty. I was told that it was a "courtesy you are able to leave".

Please reconsider signing a lease here. It's worth noting that the building currently has a significant number of vacant units for the area and price, and is offering large referral incentives. This may be indicative of ongoing issues. Read More

So happy to live here! I made a great choice. Great sense of community with the tenants and staff. My unit is very nice, I love the gym, the rooftop is nice when it's not freezing outside! The on site staff is quite helpful and friendly, and the location on lasalle is so perfect. The maintenance staff respond to work orders right away and the building is kept clean. The doorman always gives my dog King Louie a treat! I Love The Oliver! I would definitely recommend 10/10 to live here!

The Oliver has been a wonderful experience so far! The spaces are very well maintained, and the staff is always incredibly helpful. I would definitely recommend!

The Oliver is a great place to live if you’re looking for a studio apartment with access to Lincoln Park, Old Town, Gold Coast and downtown Chicago. There are multiple public transportation options as well. The staff have always been helpful.

I have been subletting all summer at the Oliver and loved it. All of the staff are so nice and helpful. Maintenance requests are also taken care of in a timely manner - Katherine
