Tenant Reviews for 1765 N SYCAMORE AVE

The office manager, ---------, is a nightmare of a human being. When we first moved in, she had office hours TWO DAYS A WEEK from was almost never there. Recently she posted "new" office hours that she'll be in 4 days a week from , unsurprisingly, she is still never there. She does not post when she will actually be there or even a courtesy note that she's out. She does not return phone calls and rarely provides helpful information when she actually takes the time to respond to an email. There was also no notice given that the costs for laundry cards would be raised. In addition, at least one washer/dryer is usually broken. The elevator has broken frequently. We had several mail thefts last summer, which includes the mailboxes being open and mail/packages thrown about the elevator and parking garage floor.

O stars is what I give this horrible bug infested horror apt. We have lived in Westbury. For 9 months and it's the worst place I have ever lived, in my life! The manager lies about everything,!!!!! catching her lie about them paying for the trash was only 1 thing, even when I sent her proof she still denied it. Katherine shouldn't be a manager ever. She argues and says she's not wrong about anything. There's a scam they show a nice apartment then say it's now not available... The termite damage is so bad they try to cover it up by repainting and saying they up graded the apartments. My roommate is in construction and these are so poorly done if I would have known any of this before I moved in we would have never moved in. Water Damage is bad there's mold in the bathroom & kitchen. You can hear all of your neighbors, I mean you can hear everything, because the Windows and doors don't close right.big issues. They spent tons of money fixing the front of this building to fool everyone. We can't wait to move out in a couple of months. We have seen more people move out of this place in the past 3 months then move in since we have been hear. The manager is never in the office, and breaks the law !! She won't answer your calls or emails. Elevator breaks down and she lies and says it's being fixed. 2 weeks no elevator, no way!! All I can say is if you have a bad feeling don't move into a place, this place is by far the worst in every way. You will not get your deposit back no matter what. Do not move in to the worst place in Hollywood. I'm very serious go anyplace else. There's dogs in the building but says none aloud, kids running in the halls at all hours, sounds from all apartments and they can hear everything I do as well. I have lived in many apartments over 25 years but this really truly is the worst. No office hours and the front door security call box has never worked so getting packages are very hard, someone stole 1 so I stopped getting them hear. Very very bad place

When you live in an apartment building, it is important that there is someone you can call or rely on when something happens. Here, there is nothing. You call the manager's (Katherine) cell and she would never respond. When you try to meet her, she gives you 1-2 hours slot during the day like 1-3. When you tell her you work so you can't come in to the office that time, she says she has other "appointments" that she cannot accommodate. She is an on-site manager but she pretends like she is not home when water leaks and you need help. You call her to see if she got the check and she never responds. You try to buy a laundry card, you have to make an "appointment." I had been miserable living in this building. Now they are raising the rent. Not worth it. If you are considering moving into that building, go somewhere else. It's not worth your money living there with no life support. Don't hope things will go smoothly. Things will go bad in your room and the public area and you will feel miserable. Good luck dealing with it.

I never lived here...but i am #1 an apartment manager for another company and #2 i sell & deliver refrigerators as a side business. In the last three months ive delivered 3 fridges. All three times i was shocked at how crappy the "new" tenants apartments were put together. Rusty kitchen flourescent lights, loose kitchen counter tops, peeling bathroom sink glaze, etc...oh and the spot to put the fridge is really tiny. On the 1st time i delivered a fridge here, i got to the front door & the fridge woukdnt fit in. So as i was attempting to open the other door a tall brunette said to me "that door doesnt open". I responded. "Yes it does. Watch me open it". She said " no im the manager. I dont allow it to be opened". I thought it very odd...abd as soon as i brought the fridge to the tenants apt (had to go through garage) i told him im an apt manager & this manager is bad & doesnt care about her job. Its easy to tell. Then i showed him all the dangerous things that needed repairs in his apt. As an apt mgr myself, its sad to see owners & an apt mgr who doesnt care about their tenants.

The manager Katherine is the most unrealistic person you'd ever meet. She probably never had a real job before. She doesn't respect the office hour, she doesn't keep her appointment because she has other personal stuff to deal with such as getting her nails done. She doesn't return phone calls even if it is an emergency situation like major water leak or an accident at the garage and people are stuck, or a serious fight with police and ambulance.. The only "emergency" number you get is her cell phone and she doesn't deal with it simply because she doesn't care. She would ask you to leave cash at the door for a laundry card and you have no proof that you left the money. You cant expect anything real from her and you are giving out a lot of your life as she deals with our money and our lifeline. I always wonder how someone like her can still not lose the job and keeps getting paid. Live-in manager you can't get hold of is really useless. Avoid this apartment if you don't want to get in trouble and have no help. Don't trust the city of LA so much. There's not much they can do for you if management screws you. If you are planning to move in, good luck on the elevator. It often stops working and it scares me what if it was my moving day. Somebody has to fire her but so far no success.

I lived here for 3 years. Its a good place to live. Manager is very nice. Decent accommodation for the price in the neighborhood.

I've lived here for about 7 months. I like the building. It's a good location, but traffic can be bad. It's LA. I suppose that's a thing everywhere. For the money you get a great deal of space. I really like the maintenance man. He's very fast and does good work. He's also really cool. I like the manager. I've seen a lot of reviews that say she's awful. I have not experienced this. She's always been pretty helpful and I have no complaints. I've had ------ landlords before. She is not one of them. The tenants on my floor are pretty quiet and nice. Some are even friendly without crossing boundaries. I've really enjoyed my time here and I recommend my building to friends when they are looking to move.

I find a cockroach every month or so, the front door is always broken, there is NO DUMPSTER (I asked my neighbors where I throw big items that won't fit down the chute...they didn't know either. There's no dumpster anywhere, just recycling bins!) The manager is terrible, doesn't care, and probably wrote all those fake reviews for this place. On the plus side, you do get a lot of space and it's 30 seconds away from the Walk of Fame, Egyptian Theater, and other Hollywood tourist stuff. The parking is a nightmare; if you have any friends or boyfriends over to visit, don't! My boyfriend had to park 5 blocks away and walk 15 minutes, even when I got a parking permit! The maintenance guy is nice but does not do very good work. The place is not well kept. If you're not ---- and don't care about cleanliness, then move here. If you're expecting normal standards of living, then stay away.

DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!! I just moved out due to a bed bug infestation. I moved in a few years ago and thought it was great to be in a top floor studio with decent rent. Once I moved in, I figured out the manager Katherin LaRonde is NEVER around and it takes weeks to get a hold of her to buy a laundry card. The elevator is frequently broken which made me nervous about moving, but the bed bug situation forced me to move. They didn't let the rest of the building know about the bed bugs so the bugs just keep moving around. So happy to be out of there but I don't know if I'm safe in my new place yet. The maintenance guy Francisco is a really nice guy but the landlord just doesn't put money into the building. There were cracks in my apartment which I think made it easy for the bed bugs to travel in the building.

i live in this place for more and 7 years and when this manager come to the building she always post up eviction notices on your door even after iam paid the rent and say that she didn't receive it. She's never is in the ofice , its hard to talk with her.the first time iam talk whit her i have horrible experience. It took a long time to get things fixed in my apartment. I tried to call the management company to complain about her and never answer my calls and emails ....and i dont get my deposit back i live and 2 bed 2 bath apt. and she ask me for the parking garage control she whant the control back and iam pay for that she is bad bad person ...you get beter place around there same o beter price....
