Tenant Reviews for 1304 W 2ND ST

Belmont is nowhere near as bad as anyone says it, or bad at all. Everyone who has come to visit my apartment, including people who live around here and other areas of West LA, have commented on how nice our place is. Maintenance is good with the few issues we have had and I mean very few, and they were because the dial on the washing machine in our apartment was wrong. I am very picky in terms of noise and everyones' reviews on here have complained about paper thin walls, but I swear, I have never had an issue with it. The pool is great as are the rest of the amenities. I don't know what college you guys went to, but I went to a 40k PUBLIC! university and my dorms were in no way comparable to Belmont Station---seriously where did you go to school where this is what your dorm was like---lucky bastards. P.S. You could not ask for a better parking situation and I have never once felt unsafe here.

Boy, am I glad to finally move out of this dump. I am scheduled to move out at the end of this month. My lease here is finally over. I have nothing good to say about this dump, a place I felt ashamed to call home for the past year. The walls are super thin, the office staff is never helpful (they change employees over month or so). It seems as though the leasing agents change every month or so. I always see new faces. What they should do is get rid of the manager and assistance manager. The common areas are so dirty with trash all over the place. This apartment is part of the section 8 housing so you have low income residents here. So while the rest of us hard working people pay market rate rent, there are others who pay $700 a month for a $2500 a month unit. One of my neighbors had 9 people living in one unit. It was so loud and the apartment was full of people all the time. I have notified the office of this issue and they did nothing. They had kids running around inside. The office is no help. They do nothing to assist. Please please read all of the reviews and make a good decision before considering Belmont Station. Think hard.

I want everyone and I mean everyone to know what a dump this place really is. I moved in here because this is one of the very few apartments in downtown with a dog park. I have a dog and he loves to play outside. I took my dog to the park and he ended up getting a virus for the park. He also got a cut on his paw from something sharp. They really need to clean this place. I would rather have my dog play in the trash than to take him to the dog park inside the building. I pay pet rent every month. They should take care of this. Many residents have concerns regarding the dog park and the manager won't do anything about it. She insists we, the residents need to clean up after our pets. Don't get me wrong, I agree but it shouldnt have to be my job to clean the park and water the lawn. Well, whatevers left of the lawn. Please, if you have a dog, do not take them inside the park. Take them for a walk across the street. It's so much cleaner there.

I hate the manager. I know, I know "hate" is such a strong word but that's the only thing that comes to my mind. I'm not sure if the upper management is the issue but she can't seem to understand the needs and concerns of the the people that live here. Maybe she just doesn't care. She must hate her job or something. The intercom in the front has been broken for sometime now. If the security is out and no ones watching the front desk/lobby area, how are we supposed to get in? They keep the front door locked and the key fob doesn't work. I've made several recommendations and requests to have this fixed. Sure, the securies are there most of the time but again, not always. They really need to do something about the intercom in the front. Some of the securities that work here at night are so rude. They know I live here because they see the key fob that I'm waving in the air but won't get up to open the front door. They're on their cell phones talking to their friends. When I went to pick up a package the other day, I sat down on the sofa and waited over 10 minutes while she was on the phone. I've only been living here alittle over 3 months but it seems to be getting worse. It takes me 15 minutes to walk to work. That was the main reason I moved in here. But now I'm wishing that I didn't. The walls are so thin. I can't believe how thin they are. I can hear my neighbors using the bathroom and farting. It's gross. They have guest parking but never is it available. It's always packed. I say you can find a way better place in downtown. Afterall, Belmont Station isn't the only apartment in downtown. It's not even luxury. Well, the only good thing about this apartment is the washer/dryer inside each apartment.

I just moved in less than 2 months ago. The heater in my apartment was not working and I requested to have maintenance come up and take a look. I was told that they will come back tomorrow to have this fixed. I waited all day the next day and no one came by. I called the office the following day and was told that they will have maintenance fix the heater that day. I was at work so I gave them permission to enter my apartment. I came home and nothing was fixed. I called the office again, for the 3rd time and was told the same thing. They will have maintenance fix the heater that day. I came home after work and the heater was still not fixed. I gave up and decided to wait till the weekend to go and talk directly with the manager regarding this problem. I stopped by the office on Saturday and the manager was not in. I left a message for her to give me a call on Monday. I waited till Tuesday and no one called me back. I was so upset regarding this issue. I shouldn t have to track the manager down and have to wait over a week to have my heater fixed. I finally got one of the maintenance guys to fix this problem. It took 2 weeks to fix a heater. I can t understand why it took 2 weeks to repair a heater. I think the management and the maintenance are not taking responsibility for anything. No wonder why everyone in this building is unhappy with the management office.
