Convivium is Not Convivial: Broken Appliances, No Heat, and Crooked Management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location, near Carl Schurz Park. That's about it. Virtually every so-called amenity is either broken, dysfunctional, or overpriced. The gym is tiny, but at least the machines work. The so-called 'media room" doesn't have a single functional "media" --the televisions can't be controlled by the janky touchpad, and while there is a ping pong table, it's so poorly maintained that it's unusable, with broken equipment. Complete joke as far as "luxury"--no doormen, just building staff who are unresponsive and poorly trained. Not their fault, they are working in a very dysfunctional building.
Cons:
Broken appliances, no heat for days at a time in the middle of the winter. Building manager is a sociopath.
Advice to owner:
Get a new building managers, obey the law

Nice building, expensive, avaricious landlord
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice apartments, nice staff, clean building, great rooftop
Cons:
Appliances are quirky and sometimes don't work well. Landlord will nickle and dime you at every opportunity. Don't expect any negotiation on big rent increases. Landlord won't even provide a full credit when key amenities—which require a separate fee—are unavailable. Opaque utility fees. Landlord forces you to pay for building-managed Internet and cable, which is pricey.
Advice to owner:
If you wish to retain quality tenants, consider being more reasonable during rent negotiations.
