Not suited for sleeping

You will notice when you read reviews of this building online, that all of the positive ones are either from five years ago (right before when the current owners took over) or from someone who toured but hasn't lived here. The owners are an investmentā€¦Ā See More >

      AWFUL PLACE TO LIVE!!!

      This is a bait and switch! The person who shows the apartments DOES NOT WORK THERE! She talks hype, but if you need help, you will be stranded. And they charge hidden fees they don't talk to you about! The owner is a total slumlord!ā€¦Ā See More >

        There's a reason, tenants don't last here. It has nothing to do with the pandemic/homelessness and everything to do with the new owner and management company! When they bought the building 3 years ago they fired all the staff who were working here for yearsā€¦Ā See More >

            Construction all the time, hot water is off at least once a week, and Manager is never around. Now the construction workers are harrasing and even attacked a person who's been living here for decades. This place is not safe and is full of cockroachesā€¦Ā See More >

              The elevator is always broken! (There are 2 of them, but the service elevator has been broken for 6 months now). Now they are taking away the trash rooms so every tenant has to go to the dark alley to throw away garbage. The picturesā€¦Ā See More >

                Amazing spot on the heart of Hollywood. A fantastic historic building will lots of details. I faced some minor maintenance issues but the maintenance team responded super fast. They did a good job and were friendly.

                    Electricity goes off every other week at least. Nothing is updated, not the electrical system and not the pipes. They are also shutting off the water each week to fix one issue or another. The laundry room smells like cat piss and is never clean.ā€¦Ā See More >

                          Lived here over 10 years. I enjoyed the beautiful patio, the artistic tenants and the layed-back atmosphere. The building's layout offers a comfortable and calm setting in hustle-and-bustle Hollywood. The new owner, Julie Patten, is a bit too business-oriented, however. Forā€¦Ā See More >
