Tenant Reviews for 160 S VIRGIL AVE

Loving the renovations and the new remodeled units!

CIA OWNED & CONTROLLED

I am currently living at Violet on Virgil in Bldg 1, Apt 143.  This property is owned by the CIA!  The mgmt, maintenance, and security are all CIA assets!  Apt. 243 directly above me remains unrented or fake rented so staff can take turns/shifts attacking me with Direct Energy Weapons (DEWs)!  The CIA started attacking me in Long Beach after I criticized Kamala Harris on Social Media!  I ?? percent believe Barry Soetoro (Barack Obama) ordered the directive!  He has history with the CIA!  I am a Targeted Individual’s (TI)!  If you search it online it states TIs are “mentally ill!”  You've got hundreds of thousands of TIs who don’t know each other across the country and probably more complaining about the same thing!  That’s NOT MENTAL ILLNESS!  It’s a serious problem with rouge “Deep State” government!  Obama is probably the most corrupt politician ever in this country!  I live in 1-143!  If you or someone you know ever lived in this Unit, please reach out to me at . Research Targeted Justice as well because you are not alone! 

Thank God that ------------- person left she was so rude. Walls are so thin, people are clearly constantly picking up drugs... not a good place to live for the expensive price. Feels like the projects.

TAKE WARNING NOT TO MOVE HERE

To all interested: I am current tenant who is in the process of moving out. This by far is the worst apartment I have EVER lived in. For all the roaches, ants, and spiders the rent isn't worth it. We have to get our cars repainted because the pipes in the parking area keep leaking on our cars. The elevators are always broken down and There's trash everywhere. To be honest I know people that live in the projects and live better than this. When we first came they should us a really clean roach-free apartment. Soon as we moved in, the place was infested. They assured me that the problem would be taken care of within the month, because it was the pipes they worked on that recently aggrevated the roaches. They told me that the holes needed to be closed and from there I wouldn't have a problem. I later found out that It's a tenant in the building That's one of the main problems for this. The office knew that this was the root of the problem and still allowed us to move in. I haven't been able to cook in my kitchen for over 2 months. I HATE THIS PLACE. THIS PLACE WILL PUT A STRAIN ON YOUR WHOLE WAY OF LIVING. I AM HAVING A HARD TO SLEEPING, AND UNABLE TO WALK THROUGH MY HOUSE WITHOUT WATCHING MY EVERY STEP. I HAVE STEPPED ON ROACHES SEVERAL TIMES WITH MY BARE FEET. GROSS, I KNOW!!!! Our problems: Roaches in our food Roaches in our pantry Roaches crawling on our plates while we are eating at the dinner table Roaches getting into two laptops and crawling out while we were using it (on one of the laptops, once this situation happened it stopped working) Roaches in our beds Roaches crawling up our legs as we are standing in the kitchen Roaches in our clothes (we had a situation where we were out and a roach came out of our pants) We have stepped on roaches as we walked in the kitchen when it s dark We have had roaches in our brand new sofa crawling on us as we watch TV We have put on shoes and there were roaches in them. We have picked up clean cups that we have poured drinks into, and once we set it down there were roaches in the cup When we are sitting at the dinner table the roaches are crawling everywhere including on us. We have been bitten by spiders numerous times We had a bad ant problem in our master bedroom We have lost a lot of money of food and drinks that we had to toss out because the roaches have gotten into them, and they were no longer edible. Elevator not working Toilet was constantly breaking for a long time I have been getting with other neighbors and all of our problems are consistant. The stories that people tell you about this place in the other reviews are correct. SOME OF THE MAITENANCE HAVE EVEN COMPLAINED TO ME ABOUT THE COMPLEX AND SAID THAT IT wasn't WORTH THE MONEY... if only they would have told me that before we moved in. The office manager told me that he would let us out of our lease. Now that we are moving out, he is going back on his word. Luck for me, I have been documenting everything. I have pictures and video footage of everything. Good luck to all reading this. I hope that this was helpful.

READ BEFORE YOU SLEEP! I really really wish I would've paid attention to the reviews on this place before signing a lease here! Yes, the property on the outside looks nice and Yes, the leasing agents will sell you a dream but once you begin to live here is when everything will start to unravel.... Where do I begin. I started in one unit that was filled with roaches and rats daily! The infrastructure in the walls here have so many open holes that all the rats dig through the walls from apartment to apartment. YES! Rats live in the walls Everywhere in both buildings! So when I had enough in my first unit and went to another it was even WORSE! Even more Rats and tons of ANTS! YEs they will schedule an Orkin man to visit to put a bandage on the problem but the Orkin can't fix the walls. Orkin sparks and then all the bugs come back, they ALWAYS come back! I've used mouse traps, ant spray, traps, the whole nine yard and nothing works here.They put a fence on the holes on the walls which are hidden behind your stove and behind drawers in your kitchen but all the mice do dig under them and make new holes. So far I've killed over 10 mice (never seen a mouse before in my life before living here and almost had a heart attack the first time I saw one) and hundreds of ants! Their excuse for the ants is that "it's just summertime". I've never lived in a unit with so many pests. For the price that we pay it doesn't make any sense. Don't get captivated by the covered utilities, this place is a wreck and if they don't fix the infrastructure and these old walls this place will continue to have rodent issues. I have to leave a spider in my room just so it can help me kill all of the pests in this unit. By the way, yes, poop is everywhere here, this place is disgusting. I'm counting down the days for my lease to end and will never look back at this place. Hopefully this is fair warning and for you to live at this property at your own risk! I've seen every single person on my hallway move out and I'm definitely not surprised why. This place is poorly managed, I've seen 3 different property managers in less than a year. Not only can you have to deal with rodents but you also have to deal with a mismanaged packaging system. I've seen countless people lose their packages as well as have lost many packages here because the mailman leave them on the open floor for anyone to grab. I've had someone break into my car and steal all of my items out of it and security is good for NOTHING! They walk around doing nothing all night long. Most of the time they're sitting down hiding out on their phones scrolling through instagram but they definitely AREN'T securing the property!!!

TERRIBLE! don't let 45% recommendation fool you! It's WORSE!

You've got two listings for Emerald Terrace Apartments (Homes). They are both for the same complex! The other one has a 3% recommendation and is much more accurate. No idea how this place is still running. I was so sure that two months ago this place would get shut down by the health department when they came to inspect, when tenants took the initiative to cooperatively file complaints for roaches, mice and ants, in addition to unsafe pool cleanliness, broken elevators, and feces throughout the hall ways. I have lived here for a year and thank god my lease is up at the end of this month. When I first moved in, I had just recently moved out of a sublet at The Chadwick down a block and was relieved at anything that wasn't The Chadwick (since it was infested with hundreds of baby roaches). Thankfully, I have only seen 2-3 roaches the entirety of my lease at Emerald Terrace, but I am also in a corner unit with just one shared wall. I have had 3 incidents of ants trailing in through my whole apartment, where I had to call pest control. It would work... but only for a month at most, and the ants would return - mainly searching for water. A month ago I had a mouse living in the cabinets in my kitchen and chewing through the wood of the walls so loudly, I would wake up at 6am every day from the crunching of the wood. Even after banging on the walls and the cabinet doors, it wouldn't stop. I had called to complain to the mgmt, but they never called back and nothing was ever done. Few weeks later, I saw a mouse that was floating in the community pool. Since then, I have no heard any mouse noises from my kitchen, though he did leave droppings all over the bottom cabinets. mgmt is by far the worst. I understand that in such a large complex with so many tenants, You've got bound to be pest issues, maintenance, and pet waste on the carpet and in common areas. But That's the job for mgmt to maintain the grounds. If you have ants, roaches, or mice, be ready to complain several times before anyone makes it out to take care of it. You won'tice all the carpets in the hallways have black spots/stains. Those were all once poop left by pets that were smashed into the carpet by unlucky tenants walking by unknowingly. I have complained several times in person about the disgusting waste that would be laying in the halls for days and weeks. One leasing manager told me they had made an appointment to get the carpet cleaned the next week. Well... it's been 3 months and It's still disgusting. I think the biggest problem is that everyone that works here hates their jobs, so they don't really care that you are miserable as well. My last straw was that they raised my rent after they had just tried to give my neighbor a $100 discount off his monthly rent when he wanted to leave due to mold/mildew problems in his unit. How can you raise my rent when I have pests living in my kitchen and you continue to IGNORE my complaints?! Good luck if you let their pretty leasing office, theater, club house, and other amenities fool you! Pools and hot tubs are ALWAYS closed due to sanitation and gym equipment is always breaking down. If you don't believe this review, contact the local health department. Tenants from both of the buildings have filed complaints and even got the health department out in person to inspect. That's how bad it has gotten.

don't MOVE HERE

Living at Violet on Virgil was without a doubt the worst renting experience of my life, I urge anyone considering renting here to run fast and run far. mgmt is entirely unhelpful for anything beyond signing your lease and locking you in for a year, whether this is due to maliciousness or sheer incompetence is unclear, but it doesn't matter, it's going to be your problem. Attention to detail doesn't exist here, get used to constant issues and the absolute bare minimum to fix it. Fire alarms go off constantly, hot water goes out multiple times a month, when you should have a discount applied to your account they'll charge you instead, maintenance will enter your home with no warning and the leasing office insists that's their policy (no, Nataly, that's actually illegal), drug dealers operate out of the building and let their customers run throughout the property, mgmt will threaten to tow your car despite the permit being in plain view, a crazy woman screams her head off all hours of the day, you'll find no shortage of things to drive you insane while you live here. The leasing office all share a single brain cell. I wish I was joking. I don't know what they do there all day, but it's never anything productive. The Property Manager, Kenderick Carter, has no business running a bed and breakfast, much less an apartment building. I had to track him down several times when I was charged double for parking when it was supposed to be compensated, he's just pleasant enough to get you leave him alone, then he carries on ignoring you unless you're watching him like a frustrated parent watches a toddler. Be prepared to pester mgmt to get even the smallest thing done. Pro tip: Nataly and Amber in the leasing office have no idea what they're doing, better to deal with one of the more normal (we're stretching the definition of normal here) workers so you MIGHT get your issue solved. Don't count on it. To make a long story short, if you held a gun to my head and told me I had to rent from these clowns again, I'd tell you to shoot me. It'd be less of a hassle.

Anywhere, but here or La Plaz or Reno St

These apartments are all run by the same mgmt company, which I would avoid their other properties as well. I lived there during 2002-2004. <br> <br>I was there during the murder, which the mgmt did not inform us about. They should have since the guy was a suspected drug dealer and still had keys to the building and they refused to change the locks. <br> <br>I was there when some one stole the front door and a garage door lock. It took them weeks to fix the garage side door lock, but only a day or so for the front door. Locks aren't important anyway, because the staff prop the doors open all the time anyway. <br> <br>I was there when someone started stealling everyone's outgoing mail, but once again the mgmt did not warn the tenants, despite numerous reports. <br> <br>I was there when someone broke open a third of the tenant mailboxes. The solution was just to put some support pieces there rather than replacing the severly damaged mail boxes. <br> <br>I was there when one of the residents was almost car jacked in the garage, but luckly the person was able to handle the incident on their own. <br> <br>I have heard of muggings and other attacks in the elevators, along with many other stories. They are trying to run out the old tenants so that they can get around rent control. <br> <br>The pool is always grimy when the whether is warm enough and over run with unsupervised and grimy mouthed kids. The pool rules and rules in general are not enforced. The gym did not have air-conditioning for months, due to remodeling of the club house. The remodeling was supposed to take 3 weeks, but took 6 months and no rent reductions are any sort of compensation was granted. <br> <br>The building itself is nice with thick walls between apartments, its is a mgmt and tenant screening problem. Tenants steal stuff and run up and down the halls screeming, a number of them are employed in illegal activities. <br> <br>The mgmt is useless and incompetent at best, they lie to your face about everything. They bend the rules for thier friends and only enforce them when There's a threat to their reputation being posed. Getting stuff fixed or replaced is a bit of a nightmare, because There's an ongoing battle between the head of maintanence and the office manager. <br> <br>The security deposit you gave them you are not likely to get back, unless you put up a fight. In fact, they might do the billing just right to make it so you owe them money. Keep all of your reciepts and read the lease carefully.

I have lived here for 2 years and love it. this place is conveniently located near a grocery store, shopping and public transportation. The mgmt is responsive and the neighborhood is safe. Alex George was helpful. She go above and beyond to provide great service. Overall, it's a awesome spot to live.

Total shithouse. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Unsafe dump, plain and simple. mgmt is a joke. No standards, they'll rent to anyone. Gangbangers and families of twelve in two bedroom apartments seem to be the preferred tenants, they don't complain. Vaguely menacing thugs wander the building at all hours, this place is getting tagged and spraypainted inside and out(the people doing it live there and the mgmt knows about it, yet does nothing), units flood constantly, etc. ---- this place, I'm so glad to be out.
