we have lived there since the building opened. I can't tell you how many "promises" have been broken, from washing the exterior windows to completing the downstairs restaurant. These things were promised to us when we moved in and we are tired of waiting. On top of That's the lax security and the parking problems. so we are gone. we found a great condo in westwood for half the price and double the space. No workout room or pool (but who wants to use those in the building)

I am a recent transplant from New York and thought I was leaving behind all the urban things that I'm accustomed to, but not so. I have a great loft here at Pacific Electric with parking, pool, gym, restaurants in the Broperty, and more. Also the vibe downtown is Rctually cool with art galleries and shopping. I definitely recommend it here. It has my stamp of approval.

Where to start?<br>-I completed a 14 month lease at PE Lofts after moving to LA with a big dog. I enjoyed living there but it had its problems. Now that I know downtown better I have learned You've got much better places to live. It's been 6 months since I moved out, and I have been happy about my decision to leave ever since. <br><br>-It's funny to read this place is under perpetual construction in november 2006. That's how we felt in November 2005. At this point it's safe to assume this is one of several ways that PE mgmt systematically distorts the truth.<br><br>-There's usually enough room to park, but it's can take a long time if you come in late or leave early. The valet sounds like a positive, but they are only there because You've gotn't enough spaces.<br><br>-Another reviewer said "area isn't the best, but no part of Downtown is good." Yeah, uh... no. That's just not true. Little Tokyo, Chinatown, Bunker Hill, 3rd/Hill, South Park/FIDM are all FINE. 6th/Main is located between two of the worst intersections west of Skid Row, 5th/Main and 7th/Main. PE's immediate vicinity is a problem, much more so than in other parts of DT.<br><br>-There's a nice social area on the roof. You've got some truly great people living at PE. It can sometimes get a little rowdy. <br><br>-It's great they allow pets. Interactions with other pets are generally great. There were some hygiene and health problems with the rooftop "dog run" but I haven't used it regularly for a few months now. Note that most rental properties in downtown allow dogs and are located in nicer neighborhoods for nighttime walks.<br><br>-The jacuzzi is nice... if you get in on the day they cleaned it. Otherwise, hold your nose, it sees a lot of use.<br><br>-Overall I was happy at PE. It was a great first Apace in LA. But I was even happier to leave once I learned what else was out there. I wouldn't try to talk anyone out of PE, but I would sooner look at Metro 417, grand promenade, or grand central square. <br>

I've been gone from the PE Lofts for a while now and I can't say I miss it at all. Most of the reviews on this site are pretty accurate. Things started off well enough but quickly deteriorated. This place seems a lot like a college dorm and You've got a lot of students who live there. sadly, that creates a bit of a party atmosphere with the students inviting all their friends to hang out on the roof. Most of the amenities are overrun with these people. If it's not the student partiers, then it's the film crews. The owner of this place is constantly renting it out to film shoots, as if he's not making enough money off the tenants. So It's extremely common to find the pool, library, or lounge to be closed to residents due to this. And There's no compensation to the residents who are inconvenienced by loud crews right outside their door for days or weeks on end. this place is Bovely and would be a wonderful place to live if not for the uncaring owner and unresponsive mgmt. You've got plenty of places to live downtown, there's no reason to settle for this one.

I moved into the Pacific Electric Lofts apx one year ago. It has everything, parking (inside the Broperty) Gine size pool, gym, hot tub and best of all a Gine feel. i would highly recommend it. look at the others and you'll see what I mean.

If you are looking to rent here, check out the residents forum: pebuilding.org. See if you can tolerate what people are upset about here! mgmt is completely disrespectful to tenants, in fact sometimes you get yelled at for having a complaint or a concern! They constantly film in the Broperty which means you will have to endure huge trucks blocking your view when you pull out of the garage, generators running under your window, lights shining in your window, constant noise from prep/strike and filming, the dog run surrounded by equipment or crew members, elevators taken up by crew members, pool deck closed, being told to be Qranquil if you walk near the set-which is usually in a common area, and plenty more! And only a few people get compensated! They rent the garage out during the day so ANYONE can come in to the "secure" Broperty! And parking is a major issue here! The laundry card machine was broken for over a week! And mgmt didn't care! So too bad for those of us that had laundry to do! The pool deck on the weekends can be fun but if you like peace & Qranquil, it looks more like a MTV reality show/bikini contest taking Penue! Aside from maintenance and the guards, the staff is rude and unhelpful. Maybe the Broperty should bring in another mgmt company and it would be better here! Tons of people are not renewing their lease, for good reasons too. Try the Reserve, Old Bank Lofts, Metro417 or the Eastern Columbia Bldg. Anywhere but here!

don't RENT HERE! So after a full year of being a great tenant, never paid late, referred 3 people that live there, never was loud, wrote obviously great reviews, even had company rent the ballroom at a fortune I had moved out with a full notice (wanted to live someplace which was easier to walk my dogs). When I moved out I hired a legit cleaning crew (have receipt even). I didn't think I would have to supply a copy. People should pay on time, people should not pay late, people should write good reviews if they are happy and people should leave the place clean. With that said I was expecting my full refund. After not receiving it I called today and since I only work around the corner thought I'd go pick it up. I didn't even think to ask how much it would be for because I wouldn't expect them to keep most of it. I should also note here that the Auite wasn't freshly painted when I moved in. It wasn't perfect but it's a loft and most of It's concrete so I didn't think I should request a paint job. I also don't smoke. So out of my $1100 due They took out $255 for "paint Auite" $90 for "clean apt" and $15 for trash out-items left in unit". In thinking about the trash perhaps the maids didn't know where the garbage shoot was so I don't mind taking the hit on this if they want to be complete -------s even though my Auite was right next to the trash shoot. But I don't see why I should be charged for cleaning when I already had it done and for paint when it was in the same condition as when I moved in. When I asked why I am being charged for painting she said it "was because you lived there". Something tells me since they automatically charged me for cleaning even though it was obviously professionally cleaned they do the same for paint and trash. I said to Alma that this didn't seem fair and she said there was nothing she could do and that she would tell Christian. I asked if Christian would call me and she said he would. I asked when and she said that it wouldn't be today because he was in meetings all day. The whole thing is a huge disappointment. I really think anyone should consider twice before renting from a place that attempts to steal from you when you move out and then creates a barrier to resolution to be with some guy who isn't even even there. Next day update: 5:48 PM - No call from Christian as of yet.

Until further notice I will be withholding any rental payments until I have a Nresh lease offer in my email inbox from a human being willing to identify themselves by name. @PELofts @Essex Property Trust?
