Resident 2014 - 2016

3/13/2016

Definition of slum lord run building. This is a very poorly managed apartment building. The property owner (Sycamore Apartments LLC) has have been raising the rents multiple times a year to cover the repairs from long periods of lack of maintenance and the high turnover of tenants (most people move out after their lease is up). Most of the current rents are above other surrounding buildings in Hollywood which have been renovated. The building is unclean, there is usually trash (bags, boxes, furniture) sitting in front of the building, throughout the lobby, stairwells and hallways. The lobby has cheap furniture and it is frequently broken and strewn about. All common areas are greasy, dusty, and generally unclean. Many of the residents are Russian and smoke heavily with the smell of smoke throughout the hallways and coming in from open windows. The building has had ongoing problems with mail being stolen. The post office stopped delivering mail recently because of the issue so any time you would want mail, you would have to go to the post office on Wilcox and wait in line. Very poor maintenance with the common areas and individual apartments. The elevator is frequently out of service and has alarm bells ringing from the elevator room in the basement. The lock on the doors are usually broken and several times have been vandalized. This is quite scary as many homeless and drug users hang outside of the building. Individual apartments are average but are built with the cheapest of materials (cabinets, faucets, appliances) which break easily. Any time there is a plumbing issue, the water is turned off for the day with all tenants unable to use the bathroom or kitchen (no cooking, shower, etc.). The windows are cheap so even when closed, you hear much of the Hollywood noise from traffic or the school behind the building. The building manager, Neda, speaks broken English and does not resolve any issues. If neighbors are loud, she tells you to handle it. Not recommended!!! So many other places for similar prices with better management.
