Moved in here about a year ago, it has a big livingroom and large bedroom, it is a locked building and it is maintained. The dockmaster is very nice and has been here for a very long time, but the office people are so ever changing it's difficult to get friendly with them, because one day they are there and the next day they are gone. So why bother really.

But there are problems, the people below me leave their dogs out on the balcony and they bark at everything and I mean everything, including the large trash truck that makes it's presence known right in front of my balcony three times a week (it scares the hell out of my cat, but dosen't seem to faze the two little dogs downstairs, go fig). Not all the dogs in the building are like this, the people right next to me have a rather large dog and I have never heard it, the noise always seems to come from the two stupid little dogs who seem to live on the balcony right below me.

As for the people above me, they are the types who play their techno music loud and I mean loud, so much so the bass comes through the floor. I am suprised their neighbors on each side of them upstairs haven't called the Sheriff. I mean this isn't some slum in bum town, this is supposed to be Marina del Rey. Last time this happened, I was taking a nap, it woke me up ,I just about threw up my hands and then threw something at the celing in anger.

They are raising my rent for the coming year and I am trying to decide if I want to have the privilage of listening to the street outside, the dogs downstairs and the techo-music over my head for $1400 a month for the next 12 months.

One more thing, and this concerns the telephone, when you first move in here, call Verizon and get the in house line repair insurance because the management will not pay to have the phone line repaired if it goes down. I learned this the hard way when my phone went dead for a week, due to a faulty wire that had been buried in the wall since the 1970's. This faulty wire was brushing against the phone line and it knocked the entire phone line out. Foolishly I thought it was the responsibilty of the management (I mean it is their building), but I found out I was wrong. They only cover the phone repairs for the first two weeks after you move in.

Management is required to provide you with one working phone outlet in the apartment at all times. If it doesn't work, it is THEIR responsibility, not yours.
