Tenant Reviews for 1025 N SERRANO AVE

RUN AWAY!!!! THIS PLACE IS AWFUL!

This building live in managers are very nice and try really hard to make it a nice living space however, I just moved in here last week. July-1-2016 and my room may be very nice and spacious but as soon as I get in from work at night the floor is always covered in dozens and dozens of BUGS! Roaches! It is disgusting, I am so disappointed and sad that I pay so much to live here and have to deal with the ROACH INFESTATION every single night. I have my apartment decorated very cute and am embarrassed to ever even have any gust over because there is constantly giant roaches crawling across my counter tops and bed room floor. They came and sprayed but it has not helped at all! I just want to warn any one who may look at these apartments for its price you can do way better some where else. Plus the loby always smells like pee and theres sometimes a homeless guy drinking and sleeping in the lobby when I come home late at night...

DO NOT LIVE AT 1025 N SERRANO APARTMENTS! THIS PLACE NEEDS TENTED AND FUMED BECAUSE IT IS ROACH INFESTED! I keep my apartment very very clean and I still find at least 30 cockroaches in my kitchen, bedroom, and bath room a day. I requested a exterminator twice and all he does is spray bug spray which I could have went to the store and got more of myself and done. I asked the on sight manager what to do and she said just keep a can of bug spray by my bed thats what she does... If you knew this place was full of bugs you should have told me before I freaking moved in!!! I only suggest moving in here if they fumigate the entire building.

Absolutely horrible. I seriously feel sick just thinking about having lived here. The place seemed fine when I looked at it, the apartment itself was cute, but the experience turned into a nightmare. The building is infested with roaches and it SMELLS. My unit had a stench that I could not get rid of and the smell consumed my clothing. The neighbors are actually decent and cool but it just makes it clear how many other people were duped into renting out of this building. The parking is HORRIBLE. That was by far the worst part. Getting home exhausted from work and having to drive around for an hour looking for a spot or often parking over a mile away and having to uber to the building. It should be illegal for them to continue accepting tenants knowing there will be no parking available. Worst situation ever. I literally do not have anything positive to say about this place except that there are nice/chill people living in the building. I can't say much about management because a new company took over right before I left. The area has potential and is not horrible but the building needs a major renovation and a parking structure.

This apartment is terrible, the lady "Kimmy" who showed us the place is nuts, she will lie about certain things to get you to rent, which I guess makes sense since this place is a ---- hole and she is working on commission bonus. Street parking is terrible, if you come home anytime after 8 or 9pm you are f&^ked, especially on street cleaning days (Wednesday and Friday) 8-11am. Yeah I am definitely not going to miss waking up at 7:45am to move my damn car..oh wait.. I can't because there isn't anywhere to move my damn car! Unless I am driving around for what seems like a half hour before someone goes to work! So I am not gonna miss waking up at 7:45am to drive around... The apartment itself is cute, it has a walk in closet but there is a constant cockroach problem, this building is infested. We have had cockroaches since the day we moved in. They have sprayed our place numerous times..they go away and they come back within 3 months. That being said, this building is obviously infested with cockroaches and the residents don't seem to give a ----..because basically they just move from one unit to another. It's disgusting. THe area is shady, its East hollywood, which is what you would expect, its dirty..nobody picks up their dogs ----, and theres prostitutes everywhere.. oh and expect to see MS13 gang vandalism everywhere. Robby the old apartment manager was really cool, he was quick with responses, there is a new apartment manager now named Yesica, she is kind of ------ and doesn't seem to respond to emails.. Do yourself a favor, and DO NOT move here!!! YOU WILL BE STRESSED AND MISERABLE ALL THE TIME.. whether it be about the parking or the ------- cockroaches crawling all over you. ALSO, you won't be able to hear your neighbors next to you, but oh boy.. you will hear them above you. RUN AWAY!!

Worst place ever. Bed bugs and cockroaches. Drug deals in and out of building. Poor maintenance.

This place has changed with the new on-site manager Cameron. He is a people's manager and works for the tenants. I used to live there and I know the area is a little shady but, there have been a few improvements. I am sure the rents will go with the beautification and route 66 project. I know four years ago a single was $675.00 and now it's like 800.00 or more. This building is rent controlled so BEWARE as the rents have been jacked up more than 10% ...( Para Associates are the new owners) The management company Statewide can be hard to deal with but, eventually if you state your problems they will eventually be handled. There are still gangs and tagging and they need some more street lights and speed bumps because people speed around that Serrano and Sierra Vista corridor. Additionally postal service is horrible over there. The hard wood floors are great in the hallway except you can hear people walking all times of the night. On the weekends there building next door blast loud music and there is always some type of party going. Also there are a few transsexual prostitutes lurking in that area and at night you might walk up on some sexual activity at night. The are some M13 stash houses over there as well so just be careful at night if you see large groups of males looming out side.

This place really isn't THAT bad. The neighborhood isn't perfect, but it's East Hollywood, not West Hollywood after all. They have made a ton of improvements here, including updating the hardwood hallways, new machines for the laundry room, and are currently updating the lobby area. The walls are thick and we never have a problem with noise from our neighbors. When we initially moved in there were problems with kids hanging out in the hallways, but the new manager took action on that and the problem has been virtually eliminated. All utilities are included which is nice. Parking is street parking, and most times you can find a spot. It sucks on street cleaning days (Wed & Fri) but you just have to plan ahead and find a spot on the correct side the night before. There are two grocery stores within walking distance, Jons and Smart & Final, as well as a Taco Bell, McDonald's, and Burger King. And the Tranny hookers are always very friendly. :)

This is a temporary space for NOT more than 3 months. The neighborhood is REALLY BAD. BUILDING LOOKS OLD AND OUTDATES. ONLT THING GOOD IS RECENTLY MANAGEMENT DECIDED TO TAKE OUT THE NASTY OLD CARPET WHICH HAD OLD WOODEN FLOORS UNDERNEAT AND THEY DECIDED TO JUST RESTORE THE OLD WOOD AND POLISH IT UP AS IF IT WAS NEW. At night IT IS NOT SAFE AT ALL. Few block north on Oxford there are Transsexual prostitutes and the grounds seems to always have some sort of sexual related objects laying around such as used condoms and other sexual related things. Its really a disgusting neighboorhood and gang related. On the weekend there is loud music ALL THE TIME baring from the neighbors homes and parties. residents are mostly low income -------- and other races which can be drunk and rowdy for the most part. There's all types of people and kids running around and people who don t clean up after their animals. The hallways you might find beer cans left or animal feces or encounter groups of people loitering who do no live on the premises. The elevator is broken almost every other week. The laundry room has old washers and dyers that do not work. The PARKING IS ALWAYS HORRIBLE in that area. You will be lucky if you find any. TRASH DUMPSTER AREA IS ALWAYS A MESS. LOOKS LIKE TRASH IS ALWAYS FULL AND OVERLOADED. THE ONLY THING POSITIVE IS THE UNITS COME WITH OLD WOOD FLOORS. EVERYTHING ELSE REALLY SUCKS AND ITS UNFORTUNATE SUCH PLACE EXSIST.

This is a nice temporary space no more than 3 months. The neighborhood is not that great. Often there is graffiti and gang tags on the building and the surrounding areas. At night is not too safe as just a few block north on Oxford there are Transsexual prostitutes and there was a murder in the area a while back which was gang related. On the weekend there is loud music baring from the neighbors homes and parties and the patrons can be drunk and rowdy. As for 1025 Serrano the building is full of all types of people and kids running around and people who don t clean up after their animals. The hallways you might find beer cans left or animal feces or encounter groups of people loitering who do no live on the premises. The elevator is broken almost every other week. The laundry room has old washers and dyers that do not work. The parking is horrible in the area.
