Icm Properties

We enjoyed living in it building right up until ICM bought the building. Since they have taken over the court yard is not kept up, laundry machines are constantly broken, they have come into our apartment without giving notice, the building maintenance team is never around and when they are they throw poo bags from outside into the stair well, it takes a lot to get something fixed, and their office staff is very unpleasant to deal with. Almond they care about is making money. They raise the price of rent without making any improvements, in fact the place has depreciated in my opinion. Do not rent here if you care about privacy, how your building looks, it getting quality service.

While requests get taken care of right away, the attitude received from Jodi just is not worth renting from ICM. Also, a non refundable pet fee per cat, a TEN year old cat at that! I will NEVER rent from ICM again. I am the customer here Jodi, there is no reason you should me emailing me with anything other than politeness.

ICM Properties charged my girlfriend a non-​refundable move-​in fee. I was the first to arrive at the apartment on moving day, on May 1 of last year. The place was disgusting. The sink was filthy and had what appeared to be rust in the bottom. The stove had food cooked on by the burners and huge stains on it. The fridge was developing new life (mold). The floors were filthy, with piles of dirt and potting soil on them. The walls were scratched and had nails and nail holes in them. Spider webs all over the place. The blinds were also filthy.
I called my girlfriend and told her it was terrible, and that they should call ICM. However, it was then that she told me they charge a move-​in fee, no deposit. I figured since the last people didn’t put down a deposit, they were not responsible for this mess. ICM told my girlfriend that they could send out a cleaning crew for $ 75. I told her not to do it, but she agreed, and they came and did a mediocre job. ICM promised to paint all the walls within a week, but only painted the livingroom walls. My girlfriend’s bedroom walls were horrible, so we painted the worst offender, the north and east-​facing walls.
The washer in the basement broke down several times and ICM took a week to fix it. The dryer took 2 or 3 rounds of payment to dry a small load. Honest to God, a small load!
My girlfriend paid on or ahead of time every month. Her roommate was a piece of garbage and paid late all but the first 3 months. She communicated very clearly with them, and called every month on the first to ensure the rent was paid in full. They claimed to distinguish between her rent and his, and that they would make sure that late payment was reflected on her roommate’s renter history, not hers. However, any time her roommate didn’t pay, ICM contacted my girlfriend. And at the end of the lease, they rented another apartment to her roommate at a rent $ 200 more than the last place.
If that weren’t irresponsible enough, they are now trying to charge my girlfriend a cleaning fee for the place, even though they already paid both a move-​in fee and a cleaning fee to make the place hospitable. ICM are a bunch of leaches and deserve to burn in the hottest part of hell.

I lived in this building for two years. The rent was low, and I was able to fix it up a bit with my own money, but overall the building is old and falling apart, and ICM is miserable to deal with. The building was built in 1926 and hasn’t been maintained well or rehabbed in many, many years. To compound the problem, Tony the maintenance guy is great but he is over-​worked and doesn’t have the resources or manpower to fix many of the building’s problems. Laundry is a nightmare — think narrow icy walkway in the winter and always at least one of the two washing machines (on the west side) is broken. The lighting in the dark, winding back stairwells is really poor — I tripped and cut myself up pretty good a few times trying to carry my laundry downstairs. The windows also are very leaky and original on the building… which was built in 1926. And, lastly, the heating is non-​controllable steam radiators, which leave things very, very, very hot in the winter — as weird as that sounds — you have to leave the windows open in the dead of winter.
Overall — the apartments and building are in poor shape and are poorly maintained, but they have a lot of space and are affordable. They are a good place to live if you are on a budget and want to live in LP and don’t mind dealing with the bureaucratic mess that is ICM properties…

Great apartment, great rental company, great neighborhood, perfect tree lined street. The LP doesn’t get much better then this!
Huge two room studios for an affordable price. Adorable courtyard that is filled with flowers in the summer. Onsite laundry and a helpful building engineer. Hardwood floors and no security deposit (move in fee only).
If you are moving to the area, this building is worth serious consideration.
