Resident 2014 - 2018

9/1/2019

I'm so sick of this place and maintenance barging in my unit with no notice because there's always plumbing problems. Glad I wasn't in the shower when they did it the last time!! DON'T MOVE HERE... there are too many reasons to list but here are the main issues that make me regret ever moving here... 1. The migraine-inducing construction next door that started a few months ago, that is 8-12hrs/day, 6 days/wk and is supposed to go on for another 2 years. There wasn't construction when I moved here and had I known about it I never would have signed a lease. 2. The price per sqft isn't worth it (very overpriced even for Los Angeles), not to mention the unexpected rent increases that you find out about less than 60 days before your lease expires. So you have absolutely no time to find another place if you can't afford it anymore. My last increase was almost 20% so I had to get a roommate! 3. The elevators are constantly breaking - someone was even recently trapped between floors and the fire dept. had to be called - SCARY! 4. The garages and stairwells look like something out of a horror film with cobwebs and haven't been painted/cleaned in a long time 5. There is a trash room/chute on every floor so the halls constantly smell like trash 6. If you have an issue they just tell you to call the front desk, but security can't do anything to fix the problem so it's a complete waste of time. 7. Endless plumbing issues - my unit had a major flood because of the unit above me and I was displaced for a weekend because my ceiling had to be repaired & repainted. 8. Inconsiderate neighbors that smoke in the stairwells and in the 'smoke-free' units. 9. Maintenance has walked into my unit unannounced without knocking while I was home - scared me senseless! 10. This is a pet-friendly community but the pets urinate/defecate in the stairwells/hallways. 11. They also rent/airbnb available units (which are a lot because there seems to be a high turnover of residents) so it is more of a hotel and there are always unvetted people walking around a 'secure' building. SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE and don't move to any Forest City property as all they care about is collecting rent and when you have an issue that requires upper management there is no sense of urgency. I've left messages before at corporate and no one ever calls back. If your rent is a minute late you'll get a call/letter within 24 hours, but have a issue that requires management and it's a crap shoot if they contact you or ever resolve the problem.
