This place is a huge night mare in more than one way. I have lived here 60 days and I am STILL waiting on Maintenance Requests to be completed that I put in the 1st day I live here, it's getting ridiculous that items such as doors (that is a safety issue) isn't being fixed. Park LaBrea wants to threaten law suits on us, well I have already contacted the City of Los Angeles, along with the Health Department and Department of Public Safety to report these safetly violations along with copies of the emails documenting when I reported the issues, and reply emails from the maintenance department confirming they were received. It's ridiculous to say the least. They say because of the economy they had to reduce to a smaller staff, come on people! This is an apartment complex, you need to do whatever it takes to compelte work orders in a timely manner. 60 days is NOT timely no matter what the reason is!
In addition, they are painting some of the Towers. Our Tower has been being painted for two weeks now. LAST WEEK we were given a notice that our windows needed to be closed all day long as the painters would be outside. We abided by this. Last Friday a new letter was posted and passed out that indicated OTHER units would be working on this week, it said NOTHING about our unit. Well, this morning I am awaken to the sounds of the painters outside my windows beating on them to close the windows. I opened the window and told them that the letter states they will be working on other units this week and that I am clear. His response to me was "Go to hell dude, get over it" That's POOR Customer service. Now, before I even talk to Management I know what they will say "That is not our employees, that is outside contractos" While that is probably the case, they are doing work on your property and need to abide wy the notices you guys put out and NOT talk to residents like that.
I am in the Property Management Industry and I know what can and can't be done legally, and I do plan to pursue any action that I can against this place. It's a huge sales pitch from DAy 1, and nothing I was told on my intial visit came out to be true. The Leasing Staff is trained to lie. That's the best way to say it. I could be living in a brand new place with A/C and Washer and Dryer for what I am paying here. Sure the rent is nice, but when you add in parking, pool fee, gym fee, and all the extras it's just as expensive as anywhere else! SAD
If you are considering moving here, REALLY sit down and read these reviews. The negative ones are 100% true, and the positive ones are guaranteed to be from a staff member or a friend of a staff member. Oh, and don't even try to talk to the Manager about something, it's like she/he doesn't even exist

That "economy" line is BS. If they have to let go of staff due to fewer renters, then they should have less people to take care of. The only way the economy could effect a place like PLB is with higher vacancies. More empty apartments means more time for you. I would think they could keep a certain support staff to renter ratio. At least you would think that but PLB Mgmnt is sooooo retarded.

I hope you have a short lease. Get out of there and run far far away. Good luck to you!
