Being in architecture and having expertise in construction and ADA, I could begin by saying that this apartment complex is built poorly. Forget ADA Compliancy (Americans Disability Acts), I would not recommend the disabled and elderly to live here for all the dangers such as deficient Path of Travel, Protruding Objects in Path of Travel, bad slope issues, deficient ramps and designated walkways. There's just a multitude of deficiencies, that I have taken the time in documenting.
Besides the ADA issues, there is a noise issue. I live on the second floor of a three story building and I could hear my neighbor above walking, dropping things, moving chairs. My neighbors below, you can hear their talking, television. I'm the type that needs peace and quiet and the poor construction and and lack in sound insulation makes this place an epic fail. You want to be comfortable in your own place. There was an incident where the neighbors above kept on pounding the floor cause of normal conversation between my girlfriend and I and normal television volume. This pissed me off to the point where I confronted the neighbor and started tensions between them up to now, but that's anther story. Imagine, what my neighbors below think of our "noise.": To hell with this. I say, if you feel limited and restricted in living in your apartment and have to find yourself tippy toeing and whispering all the time, you should consider leaving for a better place. You want to be comfortable and like living in your unit. Fixtures in the place keep on falling apart. When I first moved in to my one bedroom, the kitchen cupboard almost fell and injured me when I opened it. It was a good thing I moved away before it could hit my head. The towel rack in the bathroom keeps ripping off the dry wall no matter how many times you call the maintenance workers. They don't fill the drywall right. Recently, there have been vandalism in the parking lots to cars. This is not the first time it happened this year. Cars have been vandalized and broken into more than 3 times this year alone. The management always sends letters to inform of the crimes, but I really don't see any actions taken. The parking lot gate at the top lot always breaks down, letting transients and strangers from the surrounding shady neighborhood into the complex. I do fear for my safety here. Its a big complex for one guard.
The complex is overpriced. I've noticed neighbors leaving the complex because they could not deal with the expensive rent that the management always jack up yearly. When I got my one bedroom apartment a year ago, I paid 1571 dollars, but I recently went on the web and checked out going price for rent of the similar unit in this complex and found that the rents were going for around $200 to $300 less! This was ridiculous. Not to mention they don't really give you back the deposit even though you leave the place spotless. Word of advice, you should fight it if they don't, I was told. I was told to go check out Renter's Rights.
These are among many reason why, I am vacating this bad property. Oh, by the way, management gives you a hard time when you notify them you are leaving. They sort of shun you and have a change in attitude. After all these months giving them good business, they have the audacity to act in a poor manner. I'm glad I'm outta here. This complex is an EPIC fail! I would not recommend this complex to anyone. There are many places that are far better than this complex. Better bigger places for much cheap. I found places that were 900 sqft. in Beverly Hills between La Cienega and Doheny! Checkout westside rentals and craigslist.
