Tenant Reviews for 810 S FLOWER ST

I've been here for a year and a half. My unit faces an "inner light well," so while I don't get street noise, you do periodically get noise from other tenants. I'd say the management is pretty good except they've got pretty crappy personalities. The concierge and the maintenance people are fantastic. My biggest beef is it's run by a corporation. Come time to renew your lease, you can bet they'll be raising your rent.

Hmmm, I think management wrote the last favorable review. <br><br>My biggest complaint living at this loft is the noise. It's 24/7. Noises from: Street traffic, emergency siren, elevator, trash alcove, plumbing, construction, etc... <br> <br>If you can get management to agreed to a month to month lease then give it a try.

I'm not sure what the complaints are about. I think the apartment is great - although I wish all units had washer/dryer in unit.<br><br>The staff is great, and the concierge is awesome.<br><br>Only problem is construction noise, but it's not so bad if you live facing away.<br><br>But the apt. is a good value for the price, and one of the best locations in downtown.<br><br>Unless you love the whole community feeling, it's great. Noise isn't a problem unless you get stuck next to a partying neighbor, but the building staff are so accomodating that if you do have a problem with a neighbor they will move you to a new unit.<br><br>Loved it here.

The sales office does a great snow job telling you all about the great grocery store that's coming right next door and all the other stores that will be there soon, and all the great things that the management office does. Let me tell you, the Ralph's that they are building isn't scheduled to open until 2007 and you're smart enough to know that construction almost never finishes on time. As for the other stores, Ralph's is the only one that has actually signed a lease. None of the other stores have committed to be there yet, despite the fact that management keeps saying they're coming. (Check out the local newspaper archives to verify.) They've been saying that for 2 years now.<br><br>The units are fine, but the air conditioning vents are all connected to eachother, so whatever smells are coming from your neighbors' apartments are going into your apartment, be them good or be them bad. And don't let them trick you by saying that certain units have washer/dryer hookups. While that may be true, they don't have the necessary electricity. Almost all washer/dryers pull more electricty than normal outlets can handle and the building isn't wired for that higher voltage so you can't plug the washer/dryer in anywhere. An electrician can convert it for you for about $1,000.<br><br>If you decide to go look at the building, check out the walls in the hallways. They are all scratched and marked and many have cracks from the minor earthquakes LA has had over the last few years. Management never repaired those cracks or did anything to further stabilize the building. Check out the outside of the windows. They haven't been cleaned in years. Check out the elevators. There are two main banks with a total of 7 elevators. Only 3 of them work.<br><br>The units come with one parking spot, across the street at an unsecured parking garage which constantly has breakins and was even held up last month. Plus garage management is horrible to deal with if you have to buy another monthly pass in case you have more than one car or don't want to drive around and around for 5 stories every time you want to go somewhere.<br><br>If you can afford this place, check out Grand Tower, Museum Tower or some other place that's better.

The management is horribly unprofessional and the building is so noisy that you can't sleep day or night. Homeless often sleep in front of the building and/or the parking structure. It's not safe and management couldn't care less because they are smart enout not to live in this sewer of a building.

This is the most poorly managed building I've ever lived in! The so called Manager should be fired!!!!! When you have concerns about noise, or being attacked by homeless men, or having to park on level five of a parking structure that isn't even attached to the building, or having your car vandalized, or non-responsive security-DON'T CALL THE MANAGER! First, you'll have to threaten withholding the rent in order to get a return call, then you'll have to deal with her rude and unprofessional demeanor as you attempt to live peacefully after having paid $2,200 a month for rent. If you complain about noise from neighbors, (IF SHE LIKES THE OTHER NEIGHBOR) she will threaten to evict you if you don't stop complaining. The " Manager " instructed security NOT to respond to our noise complaints!!!!! This place is a hell hole!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, good luck getting maintenance to respond to you requests! They simply never come.<br>

Whatever you do, please save yourself from CIM Management and this Horrific Building. <br><br>My Fiance and I are the first residents to move into this building and have stayed for 2 years, we have nothing but Horror stories to tell potential residents.<br><br>-Our Car has been broken into in the secured lot twice<br>-We've been attacked in the elevator, by angry residents who security won't control<br>-No one can sleep in past 7am even on weekends, there is 100 Tons of heavy machinery that they use every morning to build next door.<br>Please go to http://www.gascompanylofts.org for the complete story.
