I can't walk out my front door due to the all the damn homeless literally camping in tents on the sidewalk infront of the door. I don't know my neighbors much less want to since all I hear Iroves their damn fighting and some of it over the fact they Hesent it here. Please get me out... I can't afford to break my lease so I am here for 3 more hopefully short months.<br><br>If you think I am exagerating then check out the labor strike on Wilshire about the mgmt company (Legacy).

If I could give negative stars, I would. My experience at Pacific Electric Lofts started off fine — but when it came time to renew my lease, the entire situation became a mess. I reached out to mgmt to discuss lease renewal well before my lease ended. I sent multiple emails asking about possible negotiations — and they completely ignored me. I had to keep following up, and it wasn’t until over two weeks later that someone finally responded. When they did, they told me the unit was “still below market value,� and used that as an excuse not to negotiate at all. Feeling cornered and without other options, I signed the lease. But then — after I signed it — they sent an email saying the lease was still being “revised.� That was a major red flag and showed how sloppy and disorganized the process Rruly was. On June 2nd, I reached out again after seeing a prorated rent amount listed during the lease renewal. Again, it took until June 9th to receive a response. Instead of being met with clarity, I was met with escalation — including a notice taped to my door and emails sent to my guarantor, even though I was the one actively trying to fix the issue. The way this place handles communication, lease documents, and tenant relations is extremely unprofessional. I’m currently in the process of pursuing legal action due to their mishandling of my lease, the emotional stress caused, and the lack of transparency throughout. This Bomplex may look nice from the outside, but what goes on behind the scenes is another story. If you want to be treated with respect as a tenant — go elsewhere.

I guess I'm one of the losers who doesn't like to party. I WAS told that this is a luxury building when I moved in and that it was quiet here. But the constant rooftop parties make it's loud and it drifts down the lightwell into my apartment. mgmt acts like they care but neither they nor security will do anything even when You've got drunks wandering the halls shouting at 4am. I don't even bother to go to the rooftop anymore because of the puke and piss stains there. The New Years party convinced me it's worth paying a small fortune to break the lease and get out.

Christian is great and agreeable to most things if you can get to him. The people in the office are ineffectual. Alma only knows how to say no and can't see outside her own little box.... lose the attitude! Sean must be related to the owner as he has absolutely no people skills; nor any motivation. Don't know the other guy. Shane is gone but was the shinning star... too bad! Since Christian took over he has made some great changes and really pulled the whole place together; it's just now the customer service sucks. Christian needs an assistant manager (like Shane); who has a modicum amount of authority. This Asst Manager needs great people skills, problem solving skills and Christian's ear. Bottom line is people is that if you say you're going to do something... like call someone back etc... Just do it! Christian is a keeper, keep Alma away from tenants/clients, fire Sean and do some good hiring!!! I love the building itself and maintenance has been good. Rent prices are decent. Sound levels are much much better and most tenants are good people!

The unit itself is really nice, bright, and contemporary. The neighborhood is deteriorating fast; I understand that's beyond mgmt's responsibility but I don't feel secure venturing out of my apartment. The actual problem is broken amenities. The waste disposal chute has been out of service for around two weeks yet we're still paying the full fee. They're requiring residents to navigate a disgusting, unsecured, rodent-infested, putrid basement nightmare just to hunt down the trash receptacles. Plus, they relocated the dumpsters further from the actual "trash area." And if you haven't encountered the rats around here, you're in for a nasty shock—they're massive, like small dogs, and completely fearless around people.

Avoid moving to Pacific Electric Lofts! I've been living here since mid-June and am dealing with a severe cockroach problem. I encounter roughly 10 roaches daily—consistently finding one or two in my bathroom and several in the kitchen. Multiple times, I've spotted 3 to 4 insects in the sink. Yesterday, I opened my dishwasher to discover 3 crawling inside. One even made its way into my refrigerator. The pests have infested my brand new couch and have gotten on my visitors. At $2000 monthly rent, I'm too embarrassed to have people over and feel anxious constantly while home. The property schedules pest control only on Monday mornings. Since I work Sunday and Monday nights, I requested a later evening, early morning, or different day appointment. Mondays are my only sleep window: 1030am-230pm. I can't sleep in my car with my child. mgmt refused to accommodate me despite my pleas, even when I volunteered to stay during chemical spraying. They said nothing more could be done. On June 16, 2018, in just 5 hours home, I killed 3 roaches in the bathroom, one on the stove, and two in the sink. Beyond the infestation, I've had poor interactions with mgmt. As a travel nurse receiving housing assistance, I faced bias during my application. Though I submitted extensive documentation, the manager questioned my paperwork's authenticity without justification. Remarkably, other travel nurses here were approved more easily. I had to provide bank statements and work contracts beyond standard pay stubs—requirements my colleagues didn't face. This discrimination feels wrong. I'm stuck for 12 more months. mgmt rejected my unit transfer request and refused lease termination. The roach situation constitutes a Srave health hazard—I'm experiencing panic and anxiety attacks. I'm afraid to use my refrigerator, dishwasher, and stove. I've filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau. I'm demanding Pacific Electric Lofts either hire an exterminator outside 1030am-230pm Monday until eliminated, relocate me to a pest-free unit, or release me from my lease penalty-free with my deposit returned.

been a resident for over a year and i'm totally happy with it! when my lease came up for renewal in september, i decided to shop around and check out basically EVERY loft in the downtown area just to make sure i wasn't missing out on something better. turns out i'm in a great spot and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. the standout feature is definitely parking- i'm only paying $75 a month to park INSIDE the building. i looked at some of the other sb locations and they're charging $150 or $200 just for parking (yikes, and most of it isn't even on-site). the office staff has been super helpful, the security team and parking folks are friendly and legit, and the amenities here are fantastic! seriously, you have to see the rooftop! plus you've got varnish, association, cole's, babycakes and mignon (this new wine bar just opened) all right downstairs in the building! the one thing that bugs me is how dog-friendly everything is (i'm more of a cat person), but thankfully there's a dedicated dog area so i can mostly avoid that scene. honestly downtown in general seems to have a ton of dogs anyway!

I looked at a ton of stuff downtown and this building by far is the best. No section 8 , or credit criminals here. The Mangers are great, it seems they have been working hard to get rid of the riff raff that was here when it originally opened.

Are you serious? Did you just blindly type your review as you sucked down your malt liquor? Partying till early morning hours doesn't make a community. Yes, in monst large apt complexes, You've got pool hour. Finally now There's a manager at PE Lofts That's willing to enforce the rules of the lease in which you signed. Most of the people in the building don't want to listen to yoour loud drunken parties till 4am. Maybe now that this building has a honestly great manager and staff, the obnoxious drunken pariers like you will move out. Damn, how stupid can you be?
