Tenant Reviews for 2424 WILSHIRE BLVD

A dump.

The noise is unbearable. I'm not talking about 'city-noise', I'm talking about Bomplex noise. Poor insulation and lack of respect for "quiet hours". also, MacArthur park is host to an endless parade of carnivals, concerts, and film producions which contributes to traffic problems, noise and trash. THERE"S NOTHING WITHIN WALKING DISTANT

vermin rule this Bomplex

vermin everywhere. nothing works. rotting stench everywhere?

Home.

I called Park Wilshire my home for more than four years. Although there were some difficulties when ownership changed, this was the best place to call home. We are an legit couple that loved being there. We never had any bug problems and if we had Ana would have taken care of it. There were some delays in getting things fixed but, all in all this is a Pmpeccable place to live. Close to everything, parking isn't a problem, great staff actually helps, maintenance crews are there in 20 minutes on the weekends, you can't buy service like that. It's never loud in the bldg, of course you have sirens from time to time, but you can open your windows in the summer time and listen to the nightly concerts without going into the hustle and bustle of the streets. The grounds always look nice, well manicured, never a safety issue, the bldg is always kept clean. We loved park Wilshire!!! Try for a corner unit they're quite spacious!

still Helighted

We have been here for 3.5 years. We have enjoyed our single unit all the while. Now happily moving to a one bedroom in the Bacility. Never a problem with the mgmt or pests. We have been good tenants and treated as such. We even referred friends that are pleased to be here. I think you make your own bed...bugs or not!

Manager was rude and entitled. Went in for information and they did not want to help at all, just sat at their desks and smirked. I heard them making weird noises inside leasing office as well. People passing by told me to not rent and find another Prea because mgmt was crazy.

Planning on moving in, pick the short lease. You don't want to be trapped!

I was so excited when I found this place (it being my first attempt to launch moved out of my parent s house). I spoke to Azar made an appointment to see the apartment, I thought the building was really cool kind a throw back which I thought showed lots of character I thought the apartment was huge compared to others I seen. Those are now the best memories I have of this place This place has turned out to be a complete nightmare! First there was the excessive street noise (Sirens, traffic and all night parties across the street homeless people living in the streets, archways and even the bushes upfront) the came the street festival and carnivals and street closers. All the while my apartment was being invaded by Ants and Roaches that till this day I just can t get rid of (I have let mgmt know about the problem I have bought ant and roach spray, gel and traps nothing has worked) Elevators are constantly breaking down it s been over, no heat and recently no hot water, mgmt is virtually non existent office is constantly and when open they pass the buch by saying you have to speak you the manager (which is never there) and everyone in the office have this appearance of don t bothers us. People are now trashing Azar and the old mgmt but at least the were approachable and didn t really seem bothered.<br>If you are even thinking of renting in the area you have to be insane and should really find mental health because you would have to be nuts to live here. I rather live with my parent and lose my privacy than live here I m doing what plenty of tenants are doing and or done PLANNING ON MOVING OUT .<br>

kinda sucks?

I've lived here for about a year and a half and now that I've gotten a better job, I'm leaving. mgmt claims that the apartments are "newly renovated" but the newest thing in the apartments is the paint. The heater's barely work, so good luck with that in the winter. The maintenance crew is completely made up of -------- that barely speak english, so they can never tell you why they're in your Alat or what they're fixing. mgmt just sucks. When you talk to them, they act as if you're taking up their time. They also tend to tell you they've sent back your package when they're too lazy to look for it. There's also the little issue with them "closing" at random times during the day, that ---- gets annoying. The neighborhood may be a little rough for people from peaceful suburbs, but its not as dangerous as some people think. The parking situation sucks. You either pay $50 a month and park across the street in a sketchy parking garage (with a dickhead attendant) or you pay $100 a month to park in the ------ parking lot in the back of the Alat building. Sometimes There's an insect problem but it wasn't as bad for me as It's for others. I've killed maybe 8 roaches the entire time I've been here, and I'm pretty clean. Finally, noise is occasionally an issue. People will often congregate outside way too loudly, which gets annoying. There's also an extremely insane girl that lives here that loves to blast her music way too loudly from the parking lot and also has screaming matches with herself in the hallways. Enjoy that. I said before that the heaters don't work, but my god do the pipes bang! You will wake up in the middle of the night thanks to the clanking of the pipes, which is mind boggling since no heat is produced from the radiator. Perhaps someone can explain this to me?

Park Wilshire has improved!

I've lived at Park Wilshire for about 2 years and FOR THE PRICE, you can't get much better! Lets start with location: It's super close to Hollywood, Downtown, USC, but without any of the related traffic issues. Yes, It's near MacArthur park, but I personally haven't had trouble with it being seedy other than the occasional hoot and holler while I walk my dog. Parking: I park in the back lot, its safe and secured. I had to park in a lot across the street for the first month or two, but the waiting list for the back moves pretty quickly. Facilities: Park Wilshire has a nice gym, as well as new computers in its business center. You've got about 30 total washers and dryers, a machine will occasionally break (which can be expected in any laundry facility) but maintenance fixes everything pretty quickly. Maintenance: Maintenance is fast. They're helpful and they'd probably help you with assembling an Ikea bookcase or something if they're not busy that day. As for bugs, I don't have any issues. Of course if you leave trash out or dishes in the sink, you'll get a gnat or fruitfly. It's not the building's fault, but they do offer regular pest control. My unit is soundproof and I rarely hear any outside noise unless I have my windows open, then I might be able to hear noise from the street or my neighbors, who happen to be quite friendly. The grounds are kept clean, and am proud when I have guests over and they walk through the front yard with the gorgeous palm trees into the old-hollywood type lobby with the huge chandelier. The hallways could be better, maybe new carpet, better lighting and some decoration? Park Wilshire never looses my packages, there's a nighttime security guard, and every now and then they shut off water for repairs or test the fire alarms, I'd be more concerned if they didn't. There may have been issues previously, but since Ana and Jackie took over, they've been making huge strides to making this building better, and there's a good reason it's operating at close to 100% occupancy. If there were a pool and those fancy new hotel type key locks, Park Wilshire could be charging a lot more.

This building is awful. There was a very brief period when the management had it together and started getting rid of all the criminal living here, but those days are gone. Lashelle lets all her boyfriends move in and they are straight up thugs. There are so many illegal activities going on every single day, including sexual assault, robberies, burglaries. car thefts, counterfeit money operations inside units, prostitution and so much more. The building is filthy and the tenants are so nasty. They will urinate and deficate everywhere! They bully weak people for money and fights break out all the time. It is like a prison atmosphere.

Please DON'T get fooled by the low rent, I regret i did?

1. You WILL get bed bugs. They are crawling all over the place and yes, I moved but the bugs moved with me :-( ...and don't get me started with all the other bugs. I'm not sensitive, but when a government health inspector knocks on your door and ask questions, you should be suspicious. 2. DON'T expect to get your deposit back. I lived there for a short while, never changed anything but they charged me $350!!!! for repainting, cleaning and misc. construction. Rctually! I don't even smoke, what could possible need repainting after a couple of month. In essence, calculate the deposit as rent cause you properly won't see it again. It does appear somewhat clean, i thought so at least, but it Rctually isn't. One example would be I once stepped on big warm hot smelling dog ---- (10 in dia.) as I stepped into the hallway from the elevator. Weird Stuff like that happened all the time. Just expect to be unpleasantly surprised on a regular basis.
