The building owners tossed out a long-time resident manager and replaced him with a younger couple. They're fairly clueless, but are nice people, and will hopefully learn what to do in time. The manager that was fired was a decent guy, and so a lot of people are upset about it.
Basically, here is what is happening in a nutshell: Ownership is looking to transform a fairly pleasant, if slightly dumpy, older family oriented building into a spiffed up and modern joint that will appeal to the younger "hip" crowd. This way they can jack up the rents. I will probably be able to recommend this place once the work is completed.
In the meantime, the building has become a dump - a disaster area, really.. Part of this is due to the sloppy construction workers, but most of it is due to bitter tenants who are spitting all over the walls, carving obscenities into the elevator, letting their pets go to the bathroom in the hallways and in the elevator (then they act shocked when the owners want to have pets thrown out of here - damn those people), tossing junkmail and trash on the ground, etc., etc.
Due to rent control, the management is probably not too upset about the place turning into a dump, as tenants are beginning to move out. They will be able to charge fair market rentals to the new tenants.
Botton line:
stay away from Wilshire Embassy until the work is completed, but I'd recommend sticking it out if you already live here.
p.s. ignore the scare posts about cancer and all of that.. there isn't any central air system in here..
