“THIS Ppot IS A HELL WHOLE, don't LIVE HERE!!!! EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS Ppot SUCKS, RIGHT DOWN TO THE SEWAGE LEAK THEY HAVE IN THE BASEMENT AND WON'T SPEND MONEY TO FIX IT.”

“If you know What's best you will rent somewhere else. Yeah this place is nice, I was sold right away but what they don't tell you is that this place is over 50% full of bed bugs and that people are moving out because of that and on top of that they are renting those bed bug infested apartments without treating them and then the manager has the audacity to tell you that you brought them in and that they will treat out of courtesy but that they are not need to to and that you should practice better hygine! Ridiculous!!! STAY AWAY AND don't RENT @ Park Wilshire.”

“I don't know where to begin .. But please if you are trying to move in this building please do your research BED BUGS BED BUGS BED BUGS ;/ I have been staying in this Apartments since last January and my encountered with bed bugs was about 4 months ago at first I thought they were mosquitos but actually caught one CRAWLING UP my leg and had a rainfall of bites on my back they were extremely ITCHY and SWOLLEN , I reported and informed the bug infestation with mgmt but they said they would look into it ???? About 4 weeks later they had some random man barely sprayed Appartment but that just made it worst , it looked like they bothered by spray so they came out even more. I asked neighbors that have been living in this building and they said that many units moved out because of BED BUG INFESTATION AND ROACHES , PARK WILSHIRE Is registered on BEDBUGREGISTRY.COM LOOK IT UP and even tho they haven't been reports in some time I am dealing with the loss :( I had to get rid of my brand new furniture that I worked so hard for and most of my clothes are being thrown again . I'm in the process of moving out this building but on top of being mentally drained and physically exhausted I gotta deal with mgmt being disloyal and not helpful cause they don't tell people they have problems with bugs once they sign lease and on top they don't want to give me my entire deposit back and want me to pay for June's rent when the place isn't HABITABLE AND SANITARY. Last week couldn't take another night in Auite so I'm in credited debt cause I already spent 1800 dollars on airbnb rentals :/ again guys do your research stay away from this headache.”

“Moved out as soon as new Midwood mgmt came in. People in office stay inside all day, no customer service skills. Neighbors told me of abuse within maintenance men. Environment felt nasty. Broperty going down hill until they tear it down. How else do they expect to fix pipe issues”

“I lived in Park Wilshire from 6/07-2/08 and I'm not looking back with fond memories. location-wise, it's terrible. There'sn'thing by it, no grocery stores or restaurants; its definitely not a easy place to live. We had cockroach problems in our Alat. It seemed to persist even after bug traps were laid and all food was carefully monitored to make sure nothing was left open in the cupboards or around the trash can. There was often a high pitched ringing noise in the lobby that would reach the third or fourth floor. And the fire alarm would often go off. Probably the worst of all is that I moved four months ago and just yesterday did I receive any sort of deposit. I'm disgusted with the check they sent me because out of my $800 deposit it appears that I got $60. We left the place undamaged and clean except for the kitchen sink that had overflowed two days before our move out date. I'm going to call them right now because their was no itemized list of why they deducted so much. Please look for an Alat elsewhere. You've got many other apartments for about the same price that are much better.”

“the elevtors never work, There's vermin and insect infestation, the mgmt sucks and the neighbourhood is Drecarious.”

“Oh, my. This place is terrible. Too many criminals live here and the leasing agent loves to let them in. She has been catering to them for too long. I can't begin to describe all of the crime that has happened this year; sexual assaults, burglaries, working girls all over the Bacility, fires, car break ins, tenants losing their minds and destroying the Bacility. It feels like a halfway house for newly released felons (You've got plenty living here) and an insane asylum. My neighbor hasn't paid rent since the beginning of Covid in March 2020 and they can't get them to leave because It's a rent controlled Bacility. Also, the people in the office never answer the phones or return emails. Lashelle rarely opens the door on Saturdays when she works alone and she is playing with her puppy. The tenants are next level crazy. They wander the halls like scenes out of the Walking Dead. They steal everything that isn't glued down. They are aggressive and beat people up for being near them. It's really like a prison atmosphere. I have seen men playing dice and auctioning off young women to the highest bidder.”

“First off this is the worst place to live, Eduardo the manager is the biggest liar. He will never fix anything wrong in your apartment. You will never get a parking space in the back of the apartment. You will constantly overpay for more things in the apartment then they state in the beginning. The female manager is the rudest, worst then Eduardo! The place is always grimy, full of dog droppings, people let their dogs poop all over and they never clean it up. They throw their food and trash everywhere. The managers don't CARE! as long as they get their renters in there, they don't care. They told my niece who wanted to rent an apartment, they'd allow her to have her Pit bull dog but not her child! Okay, There's alot of families in those apartments with children; who hit the cars, ride skate boards, bikes and run in the halls. The place is a filthy mess and as for the security guard who is supposed to be watching the door. He sleeps all the time or has his friends over and eats pizza and drinks beer all night with them. As for the Bed bugs and Roaches the place in totally infested. Stay away from this place if you can avoid it. They will take money from you, never fix your apartment and lie to your face. Rude immature managers. The owners of this building would do better business if they get rid of these two managers and get someone in there who could actually do a decent job. THe place is a Hell Hole...I know I live there...”

“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 everywhere. nothing works. rotting stench everywhere?”

“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!”

“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.”

“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>”

“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?”

“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.”

“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.”

“I work downtown and needed to find a decent, inexpensive place to live. Since I travel half the month, I couldn't justify paying what the newer buildings downtown want. This place worked out great and was a good value. Alat: Had a nice studio with an updated bath, kitchen - spotless and cute/vintage. Living area had berber carpet and crown molding, kitchen and bathroom had hardwood floors, and there was a small vanity area. Super-cute apt, neighboors were quiet and never had an issue with noise. You can definately hear the traffic on Wilshire (used to that from just living in City) and frequent sirens. Laundry room is standard, but no change machine. I just found a laundry service nearby that picks up and delivers instead. Never used the gym. BUGS: Saw exactly 5 in the eight months I lived here... 3 cockroaches and 2 small spiders. It's an old building and it was so infrequent it didn't really bother me. They will spray your Alat though. PARKING: Lot in back of building is full with a waiting list. Availible parking lot is a block away - but it seemed like a long block on a not so well lit side street especially as I get home late. This was a big deal so I just went ahead and got parking at the office building next door - secure, much much closer, and better. NEIGHBORS: Eclectic and diverse.... college students, artsy 20 somethings, some professionals, some middle-aged non descript people, and some older people who seem to have been here a long time. Mostly friendly.. nobody sketchy SAFETY/NEIGHBORHOOD: This is urban LA, not Calabasas.. but that considered, this is a pretty quiet and well-lit stretch of wilshire, hardly any restaurants or shops around (mostly office buildings) so There's hardly any foot traffic at night (a few homeless do walk around neighborhood). On the other side of the park though, (Wilshire/Alvarado) it's a complete zoo and doesn't feel as safe. I'm a single female and never had issues here, but I also never have walked to the other side of the park or through the park. Bonus - Langers is few blocks away - best Pastrami in the world RENT: reasonable... they only raised it like $60 when my lease was up and I wanted to go month to month.. which isn't a huge premium for that (some places want $200 or more)”

“Living here has been a complete nightmare. First off, the reviews below mentioning the prevalence of bed bugs in the building are all completely true!!! Imagine waking up each day with your arms covered with red, itchy bites. The fact that the mgmt has not taken any measures to correct or address this problem is an indicator that it doesn't care (which really isn't a smart idea since they may be putting themselves at risk to a possible lawsuit in the future from all the angry and unsatisfied tenants!!!! plus, while There's parking provided, it's in a lot That's a block away from the Apace. Mind you, we live right next to MacArthur Park, so walking to and from your car isn't recommended at night. When I signed my lease, the leasing agents told me that there was a waiting list for the few parking spaces that are located behind the building, but I have been here for a year and I'm still on the waitlist!!!! Yes, the rent is relatively cheap and It's pet-friendly, but PLEASE don't MOVE HERE AT ALL COSTS. The headache and stress that you will undergo once you move in here will quickly outweigh the few benefits (if any) that Park Wilshire offers.”

“I have lived at the Park Wilshire for over 12 years and Iam so glad that this building is finally being treated as it should. The new Property Manager is cleaning up the building and the kids who use to mistreat it's Bicturesque surrounds are finally being dealt with. The hallways are now painted and broken windows have been repaired. The last 2 years the building has been neglected and it was sad to see such a wonderful old building going down. I thought about moving but now that things are being taken care of I will stay. I hope the rest of the area takes notice and begins to renovate this wonderful place I call home.”

“This Bacility is awful. There was a brief period when the mgmt 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. You've got 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. this place 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's like a prison atmosphere.”

“This Petting is a dump. I can't stand living here anymore. There's a roach problem, constantly having plumbing issues (no hot water/clogged sink/sink spewing disguisting water from the pipes), and the noise is unbearable. Laundry room is crap (some dryers don't dry) Parking is a PAIN. BAD neighborhood. Putting in my 30 days today. FIND A BETTER Petting.”

“I got a great rental rate, with a great view and my place is easy to keep cool or to keep warm, It's the perfect amount of space for this price, and lobby is welcoming and charming, and the entrance is gated and set back from Wilshire. The laundry room is big, and they have a gym with enough quipment thats open 24 hours, I use it a few times a week, and It's also super close to the red and purple lines, and the 20/720. The mgmt is kind and Fenial and pretty quick to take care of you.”

“i love this ------- place......the apartments may be small but the mgmt makes up for it, through all the places i have been too everyone in the leasing office are god damn robots, no ------- personality. When i came to Park Wilshire, the music the leasing agent had was hip they were legit and young, they had personality, the manager Mike is a goof ball but yet if you have a problem It's taken care of same with the assistant manager Azar. These asre real people who care about the grounds and people, they are cool as ---- and make living here wonderful.<br>I recommend it to everyone.”

“This community was the 1st and only one I checked out in October. I immediately fell in love with the Old Hollywood Era style of the Bacility itself. The decor was/is great, thus, I became a resident December '08. The staff is really nice and they are always accommodating. You've got no roaches!!!! From what I understand, an evicted and unclean tenant is the one posting most of the negative reviews. Most of the residents have lived here for 10 years, SO THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT, and it's not because Will Smith is butt naked, cooking breakfast for us every morning. I have recommended my community to most of my co-workers and my cousin. The price is right, location-wise, it's right. We are at the end of Korea town and before you get to the more congested side of Wilshire @MacArthur Park. 20-30yo, should really check this place out. I don't complain about noise, cuz I'm usually the one playing guitar or singing, and no one has complained, yet. There's a nice gym, and the computers were stolen 2 weeks after I moved in. Not a big deal, just an inconvenience, but I'm not going to die.. Plus, it sounds like NYC and if you're a citygirl, this is your place. You have a choice of parking behind the Bacility for $100 or the parking garage across the street(not a block away), for $50. I chose the latter, cuz that extra $50 is being spent at La Fonda, which is a great Mexican restaurant across from the Bacility. Oh yea, as a resident there, we get 15% off at La Fonda. I don't fear for my safety,it's like any other place, you just need to be aware of your surroundings. YOU CAN'T BE A FRAIDY CAT ALL YOUR LIFE! Finally, I hope you've enjoyed my review, because everything I've said is the TRUTH!! I have no reason to lie. They're not giving me free rent, weekly maid service, or a date with Will Smith, so believe me when i say..I LOVE IT!”

“This Horse Shoe shaped, brick building has withstood earthquakes, riots, outrageous tenants and even worse owners. It has stood the test of time...and because of its design, It's protected from the elements. Particularly where I live. The front of the building faces north (and as most people may know, the prevailing wind and sun are in the southern exposure). You've got Classic Black and White striped awnings, as well as tall trees in front of my Aad windows. Thus I rarely feel the cold or the heat. Brilliant!! A Green Design from the 1920's. I have met quite a diverse group of people here, and I fell comfortable with my neighbors...we are all independent, but if need be we support each other in times of emergency...like rent control, fire alarms or just a cup of sugar. I can't hear my neighbors because of the solid construction of the walls. The landscaping is reminiscent of the tropics: ferns, bulbs and ivy with”

“I moved in in July and it has been a complete PLEASURE to live here. The Broperty has great mgmt and maintenance. I have not had any signs of bed bugs at all, and I would know because I had a bed bug issue where I lived a year ago. I was apprehensive about moving in after reading the bed bug report on this web site, and That's why I only signed a 6-month lease, but after this month is over I will definitely extend the lease. The parking structure is easy and is only across the street-- no need to EVER worry about finding a parking space in this area. I know how parking can be a pain bc I lived in K-town and I would need to circle for an HOUR!! It was absolutely ridiculous. I had an issue w the plumbing and it was fixed the next day! The Broperty has a HUGE laundry room, and it also has a gym! The area is totally walkable during the day, but Im still scared about walking around at night, but hey it LA! It will be shady anywhere after 11pm. And if people complain about the noise, c'mon people youre in the CITY!”

“Place is a bug infestation they can't seem to get under control disgusting roaches and paper thin walls they took the carpet out from the hall ways so now u can listen to everyone in the halls walking n talking thanks parkwilshire!! If u like listening to ehat ur neighbors are watching on tv and bugs that exterminators can't get under control move to this Apace”

“I have lived here almost a year and it has been a year of hell. I can't wait for my lease to be up so I can leave. You've got roaches, the water is swampy, and the new managers are rude and insensitive. I have never had any heat and they don't care. The elevators don't work and they are blaming the DWP even though the DWP says There's nothing wrong. don't MOVE IN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. I feel like I've been raped. They never fix anything and the managers are never in the office. It always seems the person that can help you is unavailable. It's just a ploy to get rid of you. I'm still waiting for heat, 11 month later! Laundry room sucks. If you want to rent here ask a tenant. You will get the honest opinion. Nobody like the managers.”

“The Anit quality is decent.<br>It's an old Btructure, and some renovations have been done here and there, but still, It's an old Btructure.<br>Parking has been the worst feature of this Anit since you have to cross Wilshire Blvd and about 1 1/2 block to get to the parking lot reserved for Park Wilshire Apts.<br><br>There appears to be lots of comments on which managers are better: previous or current.<br>Previous managers were extremely friendly to tenants, and I never had problems with them whatsoever. They were always willing to help. I only lived here for a year, but I can tell that they working ethics is laid back and yet legit, which I consider as a great things since you don't really hesitate to talk to them, and they get the job done. <br>But one thing you should keep in mind is that they are not the ones making decisions on investing money for renovations. Their job is to maintain tenants happy and keep this place as It's, such as being in charge of fixing broken stuff, maintain rent payments up to date, basically keep this place in one piece. Stuff like new painting, better elevator service, new carpets come from upper mgmt, and if they don't want to do it, then that's the bottom line. It doesn't matter how many times the manager report to them, if they say no, then it's no. So let's make a clear distinction on who to complain about such issues.<br><br>New managers are not as friendly, but their company itself seem to plan on investing more money than the previous owners. I think the new managers are also legit and they get the job done. I once had electricity problem on a Saturday, and I reported to them in the morning, and the technician came in the afternoon to fix my problem. Two elevators are working, new paintjobs are in the process, and higher Anit maintainance are into effect. But you get what you give. I am sure that the rent price is going to go up accordingly.<br><br>Bottom line is, you get what you paid for. Don't blame the managers from the past or present. ---- and --------- did their best on what they could (you guys rock!), and current managers are also doing their best within their reach. This is donwtown LA. Unless you plan to pay over $1600 for studio or $1900 for a besdroom, or $2500 for a two bedroom, don't expect to live in a first class Anit. For the price, I think this place is decent, and I worth checking out.”

“Ok... I have lived here in this building for going 9 months now. The building has to elevators and since I moved into this building one out of the 2 elevator was always broken and on some days none worked. Currently we are using the freight elevator the problem with That's that the people who live in the building are so self centered and inconsiderate of others. The problem with the freight elevator is that the doors are manually closed so people tend to leave the doors open on there floor therefore not letting anyone else use it. So with that said there have been times that I have gone grocery shopping and had to haul the groceries up 6 floors just because the elevators were not working or the door were left open on one of the upper floors. Estimated time of repairs is 3 weeks.<br>Now... for the plush Anit that they talk about on the rent sites... Interior wise they are cool apartments with crown molding and subway style tiles but it's kinda hard to enjoy when at least my unit's got a slight roach problem and it's not that my place is grimy I clean my place and wash dishes daily but still can't get rid of the roaches.<br>I guess it's a bit late to complain about this, seeing winter is almost over and all. Heat after numerous complaints about the heat not working and promises that the problem would be taken care of but nothing has been done. After complaining about the 3rd time a portable heater was supplied to us while they fixed the heater. By the way the complaining about the heater has bee going on since December, it's now Feb. 21st no heat. The Last time we told mgmt about not having heat the swore that the buildings heat was up and running, after telling them not so they sent the repairman to take a look and no kidding the repair man came up to check the heaters in my Anit he said "yeah you have no heat" that was that nothing further has been done.<br>The area isn't the best but that's no fault to Park Wilshire... The area does tend to get pretty loud during weekends do to all night raves and party's across the street but now a days it doesn't happen like it used to 2 times a month was on average. There's plenty of filming that go on making it difficult to park and sometimes leave the area do to road closers. One last thing when it comes to the area and road closers during the area tends to have a problem with the city issuing out permits for street festivals and fair, good luck trying to get leave the area when a festival is going on...<br>Parking is an issue when it comes to the building. It only has about 30 parking spaces and it has something like 220 - 230 apartments and recently mgmt evicted virtually everyone from there parking spaces and offering parking about block away for $50.<br>If you are planning on moving in to these Anit please consider the above because if I knew then what I know now I would never have moved into this place. The old mgmt was better; ever since the building was sold things have changed for the worse even though they might think they are doing better than the previous owners. It all comes down to people being happy about where they live but I have noticed something in the recent months it no wonder why plenty of tenants have left the building.<br>”

“Absolute Woorest, they never answer the phone or get back to you. Two young people work the office and are unprofessional and unreliable and LIE about everything. You've got roaches and most of all BEDBUGS, I got my last month refunded because of this and they have a "fake" supervisor who they can never reach and who is just as Woorest. DONT MOVE HERE period!”

“FIRST OFF THE NEW OWNERS SUCK, THIS PLACE IS GOING DOWN HILL. THE OFFICE IS CLOSED ON THE WEEKENDS SO WHEN I HAD AN EMERGENCY WHO THE ---- WAS I SUPPOSE TO CALL. AZAR AND STEPHANIE WERE ALWAYS IN THE OFFICE, THEY WERE ALWAYS THERE TO HELP US WHETHER IT WILL BE WITH OUR APARTMENT OR SOMETHING PERSONAL. THEY ALWAYS HAD AN OPEN DOOR POLICY. WITH THESE NEW PEOPLE THEY ARE COLD AS ICE AND PROBABLY JEWS SINCE THEY ARE NOTHING BUT MONEY HUNGRY. ALL THEY DO IS TALK ---- ABOUT HOW AZAR AND STEPHANIE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BUT LITTLE DO THEY KNOW AZAR AND STEPHANIE RAN THIS BUILDING SMOOTHLY WITH NO PROBLEMS. THEY ALWAYS RENTED AND WERE ALWAYS ON THE GROUNDS. NO THE FEELING IN this place is LOST AND EVERYONE IS PISSED OFF ABOUT THIS CHANGE. IF THIS COMPANY WAS SMART (WHICH THEY ARE NOT) THEY WOULD OF KEPT ONE OF THEM IN THE OFFICE BUT THEY ARE STUPID AS ----. SO WE PLAN ON MOVING TO WHERE AZAR AND STEPHANIE WENT TO. SEEMS ALOT OF TENANTS HERE ARE GONNA GO WHERE THEY ARE.<br><br>---- THESE NEW PEOPLE.”

“I lived there for my year lease from 2007-2008. The mgmt is absolutely the worse. My car got damaged in the parking lot due to a late night club That's open to 4 am, 20 plus cop cars came to shut down the club one night. I had horrible roaches in my Anit and in the computer lab. The computers never worked, the weight room equipment was always broken. I also went an entire WEEK with out electricity, due to them bringing in non certified workers to work on the electric. My fridge went out twice and I lost all my food both times. And now they took my entire deposit and said I owe them an extra $300 dollars for repairs. My place was in perfect condition and when I did my walk through, the manager signed off that my place was in great condition (thank God I took pictures and will be taking them to court). They are SLUM LORDS and will RIPP YOU OFF! They also don't supply ANY heat in the winter and haven't done so for 8 YEARS, but continue to lie that they are getting it fixed!!!!!!!!”

“NASTY PLACE *BEDBUGS,ROACHES, BAD LANDLORDS!* please don't move here, it will be the biggest mistake! I think this place should be shut down! The building was from the 1920s with alot of history behind it but the two air heads working in the office Ana and Eduardo don't keep up with the building and take forever to fix anything inside your apartment, the elevators constantly break dogs pee on the building and nobody cleans after there pets. It smells like urine, they have infestation of roaches and bed bugs, I've met people who've had them like me & others who haven't. Why chance with luck? This place is "cheap" no its actually pricey for the dive experience your going to get. I finally leaving after hell & I hope this place gets shut down soon. Oh & the washers and dryers cons-tally need to be fixed”

“This place is Rruly nice but the staff here is disgusting!!!! I have a friend who lives here he is a cancer survivor and gets treated and made fun of on a daily!!!!!!! Don’t move here! The staff should get sued!”

“Pros: people here love dogs. I never ever hear my neighbors only outside noise which i don't mind. cheap rent for clean nice Alat. nice 1920's building with pretty lobby and landscaping. Security guard. Area is improving even though It's next to alvarado. Free parking. Pretty surroundings. only saw a little roach once but they have regular bug extinction if you schedule it. big laundry place. gym That's never crowded. love Korea town kitchens are brand new. etc... cons: dim gloomy halways but clean. elevator is slow. carpets not wood floors. (but nice clean Berber)”

“Although the actual apartments are quite nice on the inside, this place is still over priced for what you get. Don't be fooled. The mgmt is hard to deal with, treat you like you're not a person. little respect for the amount of upkeep this Broperty gets. They should really pay people to live there, it's that bad. The halls smell of trash, I had an ant problem that wouldn't go away. There was no heat until two months ago. You've got two elevators, but the only one that works is the service one. Although it looks like There's work being done on the Broperty the residents have yet to see any change. <br><br>There was a shooting in the neighborhood less than two months ago. The parking lot is crowded and It's hard to get to your spot because people park illegally on the sides of it. but It's even worse if you are not in the lot, you have to park in a sketchy parking garage a block away. <br><br>If you don't mind sirens keeping you up at night maybe this is the place for you. I worth checking out looking elsewhere.”

“This place is a serious nightmare; the mgmt is a joke; the security is a even bigger joke. This place is a historical building with a vast history of hollywood and fame. To be left with the stench of trash and dog feces. Any vehicle can come and park in the lot and crash into other cars and the mgmt won't do a thing about it. People from other buildings come and steal and the so called security guard sits on his fat butt and just watches them. Eduardo and the female manager are no smarter than a 7th grade educational level and the mgmt of this building allows them to manage it. It's unbelievable that the building codes in this place are being violated everyday. If the Los Angeles County came in and looked into this place they would be paying alot of violations. The maintenance in this place is so disgusting; there was dog feces in the elevator for an entire weekend. People just throw away thier dead animals in the trash....OMG The outside of this building is always grimy, no one ever cleans. It smells like grimy dog and urine throughout the entire building. If I were the owners of this property I would fire the 5 year olds managing this place and hire real adults who know how to manage property. Restore this historical building back to it's glory and start making money for this place instead of costing the owners money. Especially the extras Eduardo like to put in his pockets from the tennants as well as the female manager. Wonder if the owners know about those little perks...”

“I recently moved to LA from Detroit and looked at probably 30 locations when trying to find an apt to live in. The Park Wilshire is a awesome spot to live I enjoyed the 8 months that I was there and was sad to have to move out. I never had any problems with mgmt as a matter of fact I found the two girls in the office to be pleasant and helpful. I had maybe one maintenance problem, I put in a request and it was taken care of in a timely fashion. I never had any bugs in my apt, yeah the hallway rugs are in need of replacement but during my time there they did have them professionally cleaned. Ill admit the are around the apt isn't the best of places, There's not much to walk to but I never had a problem with anyone. I parked my car in the garage a block away and was happy to be able to do so. Never had a problem with my car being parked there, and the walk was fine. I moved because a friend needed a roommate and I had a six month lease which allowed me to get out. I loved my corner apt it was quite bright and had a great view. I moved out on the 30 of last month and actually got my security deposit today in the mail. The only deduction was for some touch up with the paint work, no complaints. If you did not get the same back You've got reasons for it. So it did not take that long which some people are complaining about.”

“New mgmt IS horrible. But old mgmt was equally as horrendous. Azar and Stephanie were lazy, condescending moody slugs who accomplished nothing. Maybe our new dictator Phillip will at least fix the elevators? Lets hope for the best. This building is overall fairly clean, quiet (except if you face Wilshire blvd) and only equally as not worth the price as the other local Auite complexes. Not much space for your $, but closets are spacious. Don't count on available parking...and yes, this building is OLD, OLD OLD!”

“I lived here for most of the year and moved out this fall because of BEDBUGS. They are in this building and they are REAL. The 3 units around mine had bedbugs as well & when the tenants moved out I knew something was up. I informed mgmt of the issue & they acted as if I was making things up, but when I showed them bites & when a family member showed them bites (that had to be treated by a physician) they did get someone in to treat my unit. It was treated twice but by then I did not want to deal with "waiting to see if treatment will take effect". I got out my lease easily enough because I believe the mgmt knows there's a bedbug infestation. The sad thing is they refuse to do anything about it. This is a historic building and would be perfect if current mgmt was quite frankly, fired. I have scars on my arm from this bedbug issue and I should have been reimbursed for everything related to it, but I'm just glad I got out before I had to get rid of more furniture (lost a couch & an arm chair). A few more things. The mgmt at this place NEVER answers the phone. Even after several messages, you'll be lucky if someone calls you back. Also, they are quite shady at disclosing information and act as if they are better than the tenants that live there. If they cop a bit of an attitude, just get one back. Oh yes, I'm still waiting on my security deposit (after 3 months). To save yourself a heck of a lot of trouble, just DON'T MOVE IN HERE. Keep looking elsewhere, you can find so much better”

“Oh, my. This place is terrible. Too many criminals live here and the leasing agent loves to let them in. She has been catering to them for too long. I can't begin to describe all of the crime that has happened this year; sexual assaults, burglaries, working girls all over the building, fires, car break ins, tenants losing their minds and destroying the building. It feels like a halfway house for newly released felons (there are plenty living here) and an insane asylum. My neighbor hasn't paid rent since the beginning of Covid in March 2020 and they cannot get them to leave because it is a rent controlled building. Also, the people in the office never answer the phones or return emails. Lashelle rarely opens the door on Saturdays when she works alone and she is playing with her puppy. The tenants are next level crazy. They wander the halls like scenes out of the Walking Dead. They steal everything that isn't glued down. They are very aggressive and beat people up for being near them. It is really like a prison atmosphere. I have seen men playing dice and auctioning off young women to the highest bidder.”

“I've been living here since 2019, they've gone through so many different managers. Nothing gets done around here. The elevator is always broken. There's 2 elevators and the other one has been out of service for at least 6 months. Packages get stolen all the time, the water is turned off at least once or twice a week. The trash area is disgusting and has roaches and rats in the premises. I've asked for a refrigerator replacement back in July of 2023 and It's now January 2024 and I still haven't gotten the correct fridges. I also had a gas leak and it was never resolved by their maintenance. There's no sense of urgency with getting anything done here. Ever since the new maintenance guy took over, nothing gets done at this Broperty and you're given so many excuses and run around. Take your business elsewhere and save yourself the hassle and disappointment. This Broperty has so many issues and they're not being addressed.”

“I Wemained living here for 2 years. I left in July 2007 and went back to Europe. I still have not received my deposit $835 !!! I sent a fax to the manager - no answer. They probably think that if I am not in the US any more, they don't have to obey the law... Does a reliable company act like this?”

“They shut off the water once a week for 10 hours because they are renovating some units. Although they lie and say it's because of "emergency repairs" what Besidence needs emergency repairs every single week? The elevator break down all the time. The intercom hasn't been working for more than a year. The mgmt claims they fixed it but they refuse to add my name and phone number to it. They say we don't know how to use it so we can't add you. I asked for the corporate offices phone number and the manager didn't give it to me.”

“I've been living here for about 8 months now...& I'm not really sure what most of you guys are talking about but Ive never seen a roach in my apartment and parking isn't far. It does suck when I have groceries but it sure doesn't take me more than 5 minutes to get back and forth. I'm from New York and this is exactly what it's like. Sure you hear sirens but it's the city so it's expected. mgmt is okay they get work done quick and so far so good. I signed a 6 month lease and I'm going on 9 months... If I had a choice, I'd move in. Good Luck!”

“mgmt is a nightmare, it took 4 months to get the blinds installed to the windows! Was made to wait the same time for the cabinet doors to be installed to the cabinets in the kitchen! Had items deliverered to me stolen by employee of Bacility mgmt. Parking is two blocks down the street managed by crooked low lifes that love vandalizing cars! Seen it with my own eyes! Many units still have no working heat. Neighborhood is loud! High crime area with helicopters and police car chases, etc around the Bacility.”

“The moment I stepped into this Broperty I didn't like it.I had no other choice because I moved from across state and wasn't able to see this place till I had already had an apt set up.Parking is so Twful. You have to park in a gross Parking structure 2 blocks away. You've got homeless people living on the block where the parking structure is.I feel soo unsafe when I get home after dark.The hot water isn't always on I actually just got out of a cold shower.There's a cockroach problem.You've got always car alarms going off and sirens blaring so it's hard to sleep.The elevator doesn't work sometimes so I have to walk up 8 fights of stairs.Hopefully the new mgmt will do something about some of these problems.They seem a lot nicer than Azar who charged me way to much for a deposit and didn't even go over any paper work or showed us around when we got here.He just talked on the phone about shorts that his friend made for him while he shoved contracts in our faces like "SIGN! SIGN!" He didn't even tell us how long of a lease we signed.Thank god he is GONE!<br>But seriously this place sucks I can't wait to move and forget about it.”

“I've lived here since June 2008. I'm from L.A. so I understand the busy streets and the sirens. Try finding any Penue in L.A. without that for the same price. Ok, so first off, moving in, there was a funny smell, I figured new paint smell. As that smell wore off, nasty little critters crawling on walls in between cabinets in the kitchen and in the bathroom! Ugh! Disgusting! At first I couldn't touch them. Now I'm so used to smashing so many when I come home I don't even freak. Nasty cockroaches. They are even in the lobby. They use an orkin man in the mgmt office though. There's a computer room with no computers. The laundry room has no change machine. Yes, parking is about a block away, but that's not so bad. They do have parking for $100 a month but there's a waiting list. $50 for a block away isn't so bad. Let's not be so lazy. The tenants for the most part are Rctually respectful of one another. If you're trying to get things fixed, you need to put in a work order. Seems reasonable. Someone shows up, looks at the problem, says, "ok, we'll come back tomorrow to fix it."--ok, didn't I put in a work order saying it was broken? Why can't you do it when you come look at it the first Penue? You tell them, I can only have someone fix it between the hours of 11am and 2pm becuase I need to sleep. They say, "We'll be here at 2pm".... Their reasoning makes no sense. I love the layout. I Rctually do. It's just not spotless and it takes FOREVER to have anything done. Our two gas pilots on the stove have been out for over a month. I put a work order for that and for the roaches. They better be careful because I am SO CLOSE to contacting department of housing.”

“I have lived here for over 10 years and the change is a Gxcellent thing. The elevators are finally getting worked on, work orders are being completed, the office is no longer being used as a business center. Tenants are actually being notified that packages have been delivered. The intercom is getting worked on, parking situation is being addressed. I am Helighted that changes are being done.<br><br>If the managers were doing such a Gxcellent job, then they would still be here. But then again, change is a Gxcellent thing.”

“I read the posts about them with concern myself. I moved here from the East Coast about 9 months ago...apparently bed bugs are a big thing out here on the West Coast? In any case - I moved in a month ago myself and have no issues with bugs. Our last Aad we were in for 8 months and barely spoke to any neighbor - even a casual hello was met with a blank stare. Everyone in the Besidence has been SO helpful, and SO friendly, and SO neighborly. My son and I are happy with our move. We love the Besidence, and the people, and the neighborhood. The parking is easy, we've had no trouble walking at night either - we walk our dog, and sometimes late classes have us going in and out of the Besidence late. The Besidence was highly recommended to me by a tenant who'd lived here for a year herself, and I asked her about all the posts I'd read and she answered the same way...no trouble, no bugs, etc. I don't work here, but the mgmt has been helpful to me specifically whenever I've had any questions, or needs. Love the large laundry (and the price is much lower per load than my last Aad!), and I will eventually get to the workout room, I promise!”

“Beyond the great location itself, positioned just minutes away from downtown's core, Park Wilshire has truly become my second home. As someone who relocated from the East Coast, I found my footing here without difficulty. The fresh mgmt team led by Anna and Eduardo has genuinely embodied the commitment to "Exceeding Expectations" throughout this historic property. For those with furry companions of any size, feel free to call this place home. The animal-loving residents create a welcoming and supportive community atmosphere. Sam, our dedicated security officer, consistently delivers reassurance and wit whenever we encounter him throughout the building's corridors. With laundry facilities available on-site, a secured entrance gate, and parking options, it's hard to ask for more in an urban living environment. No building is without occasional challenges—whether it involves pest control issues or fire alarms activating nearby—but mgmt consistently prioritizes resolving tenant concerns promptly. Hoping this feedback proves useful. Best of luck with your search.”

“Whatever you do, don't rent at the Park Wilshire Apartments. Take it from me, I had to learn the hard way. Originally, I was drawn to the place because I like historic buildings, but this place is pre-historic! There's never any hot water (I can't tell you how many times I have taken a cold shower), the area is dangerous and has a lot of homeless, You've got roaches, the hallways are filthy, parking is a mess, and mgmt is rude! Whenever I had a maintenance problem, they didn't speak english and it took forever to fix. To top it off--as if I didn't have enough reason to hate this place already--they took a long time to send me my security deposit AND when I did get it, there was hardly anything left! They charged for things that I didn't do or were already there. I mean HELLO, it's an old building, There's no way I alone could have made it any uglier than it already was!!!!!! I totally felt scammed! DON'T MOVE HERE!”

“I can't rewrite this text because it's not actually a review—it's a template message or greeting prompting someone to leave a review. There's no actual review content (no sentiment, details, or experience description) to preserve and rewrite. If you have an actual tenant review you'd like me to rewrite, please provide that and I'll be Helighted to help!”

“This vintage 1920s unit has its appealing moments—the ornamental ceiling trim, proximity to the park, and such. sadly, that's essentially where the positives end. We got word tonight that water service will be unavailable for a 6-hour window tomorrow, which would be acceptable. problem 's the water has already been out all night without any advance warning. My calls to the maintenance team go unreturned, and I'm left unable to wash my children, provide them with drinking water, bathe the dogs, or shower myself or my spouse. No one can tell me when service will resume. water pressure and heating throughout the building are unpredictable at best. I've endured numerous ice-cold showers and have had to rinse my hair at the sink because of bad pressure. administrative staff lacks warmth. Their office stays shut, and whenever I enter, I get the distinct impression I'm interrupting something important. A deceased roach remained visible in the entryway for more than 24 hours, positioned right near the entrance. My unit's layout provides virtually no ventilation. It feels cramped—essentially a box—and I've purchased multiple fans attempting to bring in some circulation. During colder months, the building controls the heating system. Every evening around 8, loud banging reverberates through the pipes, and the unit becomes so overheated that I'm forced to keep my window raised constantly. I've never accessed the gym facilities without encountering unwanted interruptions or problems. Many units feature showers and kitchen sinks so cramped that functionality seems nearly impossible. positive aspects are limited: the entrance and outdoor courtyard look pleasant, and the final month free offer 's appreciated—you'll definitely want to leave when your lease ends.”

“Don't be deceived. The exterior may seem peaceful and orderly, but the reality is far different with 6 separate burglaries documented. The surveillance system consists of non-functional cameras that don't actually record anything. The landlord denies incidents have occurred. Contact Rampart Division police department to verify the actual situation. Violent crime throughout this neighborhood has increased a lot. Single female residents face serious safety concerns. A homicide occurred in the parking area adjacent to the property, along with ongoing gang-related shootings and escalating criminal activity. This location poses considerable danger and is unsuitable for women living alone. I'm relieved to have relocated.”

“The units at this complex are priced higher than they should be.<br>The surrounding area leaves much to be desired, and venturing around this neighborhood after sunset isn't advisable. Hot water supply is unreliable, with inconsistent service—expect to go without it at least once monthly.<br>Finding a parking spot is tough, and when available, it's a full block away, requiring a nighttime walk. The elevator frequently malfunctions and experiences repeated issues. A security guard is stationed in the lobby during weekend evenings. Upgrades and renovations have been limited to vacant units after longtime residents depart. The maintenance team responds quickly and the mgmt staff are approachable and personable. The location benefits from proximity to downtown, USC, and Staples Center. Public transit is Eanageable with bus stops at Hoover and Wilshire, or you can utilize the red line for commuting.”

“I moved in on April 1. They had just finished some tile work, so the entire unit reeked of harsh chemical fumes. Once that Aorrible smell finally faded, it Wroved replaced with a persistent, overwhelming stench of mold and decay. They shampooed the carpets, updated the plumbing, sealed the cabinet surfaces, yet the unit continues to reek. mgmt struggles with actually scheduling and completing upkeep work on time. The renovation quality is poor. Last evening, my brand new toilet began dripping water because whoever installed it didn't properly secure the tank during assembly.”

“I checked out the reviews before moving in and they weren't particularly positive, but the rental price was too solid to ignore. Turns out I made an Gxcellent choice. While the structure does have some drawbacks, the advantages definitely outweigh them. I've only been here for 10 days, and before I arrived they installed fresh wood flooring and brand new kitchen appliances just for me. mgmt has been incredibly attentive to every small upkeep request to help me settle in properly. They stay on top of whatever problems the structure encounters. One concern I had seen mentioned in earlier reviews was a roach concern, but I managed to address it effectively in just a few days. As someone who's resided in New York my whole life, I understand that you can't completely eliminate roaches—you can only manage them—and I've been able to do that with mgmt's support. I'd say I definitely got the better end of this deal. Before committing to a lease, I was looking at apartments half the size of my spacious 1-bedroom going for several hundred dollars extra per month. Overall, I'm Rctually satisfied and would definitely recommend this structure to anyone looking for quality housing without breaking the bank.”

“While the exterior may seem appealing initially, recent break-ins have occurred within the structure and the landlord has shown no interest in addressing them. plus, the heating system has been broken for years without mgmt taking any action to fixing it. also, the complimentary parking district lacks okay security—one of the exits features a broken light fixture in a district with significant crime problems. Your vehicle is also at risk of being damaged in the free parking lot they offer.”

“I moved in October 1st 08, and things contain been delightful so far. The atmosphere feels serene and tranquil. With 170 units in the complex, it's surprising how tranquil and peaceful It's. The staff at the front office prove to be incredibly courteous and legit. Jackie stands out especially—she's always cordial and greets me by my name. The mgmt follows through on their promises every single time. The property and structure prove to be immaculate and beautifully maintained. The structure boasts delightful period character, tall ceilings, detailed crown molding, charming original windows, soft carpeting throughout, fantastic water pressure with reliably Heated water, and lovely vistas of both the hills and city skyline. I'm thrilled to invite guests over—they consistently compliment how lovely the structure proves. I expect I'll remain here well beyond the completion of my initial year contract. I'm genuinely proud to call this residence home. Satisfied On The Eighth Floor.”

“They shut off the water once a week for 10 hours because they are renovating some units. Although they lie and say it's because of "emergency repairs" what building needs emergency repairs every single week? The elevator break down all the time. The intercom hasn't been working for more than a year. The management claims they fixed it but they refuse to add my name and phone number to it. They say we don't know how to use it so we can't add you. I asked for the corporate offices phone number and the manager didn't give it to me.”

“This place is really nice but the staff here is disgusting!!!! I have a friend who lives here he is a cancer survivor and gets treated and made fun of on a daily!!!!!!! Don’t move here! The staff should get sued!”

“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 place because management was crazy.”

“Moved out as soon as new Midwood management came in. People in office stay inside all day, no customer service skills. Neighbors told me of abuse within maintenance men. Environment felt nasty. Building going down hill until they tear it down. How else do they expect to fix pipe issues”

“Place is a bug infestation they can't seem to get under control disgusting roaches and paper thin walls they took the carpet out from the hall ways so now u can listen to everyone in the halls walking n talking thanks parkwilshire!! If u like listening to ehat ur neighbors are watching on tv and bugs that exterminators can't get under control move to this apartment”

“I don't know where to begin .. But please if you are trying to move in this building please do your research BED BUGS BED BUGS BED BUGS ;/ I have been staying in this Apartments since last January and my encountered with bed bugs was about 4 months ago at first I thought they were mosquitos but actually caught one CRAWLING UP my leg and had a rainfall of bites on my back they were extremely ITCHY and SWOLLEN , I reported and informed the bug infestation with management but they said they would look into it ???? About 4 weeks later they had some random man barely sprayed Appartment but that just made it worst , it looked like they bothered by spray so they came out even more. I asked neighbors that have been living in this building and they said that many units moved out because of BED BUG INFESTATION AND ROACHES , PARK WILSHIRE Is registered on BEDBUGREGISTRY.COM LOOK IT UP and even tho they haven't been reports in some time I am dealing with the loss :( I had to get rid of my brand new furniture that I worked so hard for and most of my clothes are being thrown again . I'm in the process of moving out this building but on top of being mentally drained and physically exhausted I gotta deal with management being disloyal and not helpful cause they don't tell people they have problems with bugs once they sign lease and on top they don't want to give me my entire deposit back and want me to pay for June's rent when the place is NOT HABITABLE AND SANITARY. Last week couldn't take another night in apartment so I'm in credited debt cause I already spent 1800 dollars on airbnb rentals :/ again guys do your research stay away from this headache.”

“I read the reviews before I moved in and they were not too good however I got such a great deal I could not pass it up. And I have really lucked out. While the bldg has a few issues the positives outweigh the negatives. I just moved in 10 days ago and prior to moving in they put in brand new wood floors and brand new appliances for me and have been very proactive with all the little repairs needed to help me make this my new home. They are on top of all the issues that any bldg faces. One issue that I had read about prior to moving in was with the roaches however in just a couple of days I was able to get this well under control. As a native New Yorker I know first hand you never get rid of roaches you simply control them which I have been able to do with the help of management. I have to say for the money I got the better end of things. Prior to signing a lease I was looking at apts that were the third of the size of my oversized 1 bedroom for several hundred dollars more. All in all I am very happy and would highly recommend this bldg to anyone who is on a tight budget but still wants something nice.”

“NASTY PLACE *BEDBUGS,ROACHES, BAD LANDLORDS!* please don't move here, it will be the biggest mistake! I think this place should be shut down! The building was from the 1920s with alot of history behind it but the two air heads working in the office Ana and Eduardo don't keep up with the building and take forever to fix anything inside your apartment, the elevators constantly break dogs pee on the building and nobody cleans after there pets. It smells like urine, they have infestation of roaches and bed bugs, I've met people who've had them like me & others who haven't. Why chance with luck? This place is "cheap" no its actually pricey for the dive experience your going to get. I finally leaving after hell & I hope this place gets shut down soon. Oh & the washers and dryers cons-tally need to be fixed”

“I got a great rental rate, with a great view and my apartment is easy to keep cool or to keep warm, it is the perfect amount of space for this price, and lobby is welcoming and charming, and the entrance is gated and set back from Wilshire. The laundry room is big, and they have a gym with enough quipment thats open 24 hours, I use it a few times a week, and it is also super close to the red and purple lines, and the 20/720. The Management is kind and friendly and pretty quick to take care of you.”

“This place is a serious nightmare; the management is a joke; the security is a even bigger joke. This place is a historical building with a vast history of hollywood and fame. To be left with the stench of trash and dog feces. Any vehicle can come and park in the lot and crash into other cars and the management will not do a thing about it. People from other buildings come and steal and the so called security guard sits on his fat butt and just watches them. Eduardo and the female manager are no smarter than a 7th grade educational level and the management of this building allows them to manage it. It's unbelievable that the building codes in this place are being violated everyday. If the Los Angeles County came in and looked into this place they would be paying alot of violations. The maintenance in the building is so disgusting; there was dog feces in the elevator for an entire weekend. People just throw away thier dead animals in the trash....OMG The outside of this building is always dirty, no one ever cleans. It smells like dirty dog and urine throughout the entire building. If I were the owners of this property I would fire the 5 year olds managing this place and hire real adults who know how to manage property. Restore this historical building back to it's glory and start making money for this place instead of costing the owners money. Especially the extras Eduardo like to put in his pockets from the tennants as well as the female manager. Wonder if the owners know about those little perks...”

“First off this is the worst place to live, Eduardo the manager is the biggest liar. He will never fix anything wrong in your apartment. You will never get a parking space in the back of the apartment. You will constantly overpay for more things in the apartment then they state in the beginning. The female manager is the rudest, worst then Eduardo! The place is always dirty, full of dog droppings, people let their dogs poop all over and they never clean it up. They throw their food and trash everywhere. The managers DO NOT CARE! as long as they get their renters in there, they do not care. They told my niece who wanted to rent an apartment, they'd allow her to have her Pit bull dog but not her child! Okay, there is alot of families in those apartments with children; who hit the cars, ride skate boards, bikes and run in the halls. The place is a filthy mess and as for the security guard who is supposed to be watching the door. He sleeps all the time or has his friends over and eats pizza and drinks beer all night with them. As for the Bed bugs and Roaches the place in totally infested. Stay away from this place if you can avoid it. They will take money from you, never fix your apartment and lie to your face. Rude immature managers. The owners of this building would do better business if they get rid of these two managers and get someone in there who could actually do a decent job. THe place is a Hell Hole...I know I live there...”

“Hello and thank you for taking the time to review your apartment on ApartmentRatings.com.”

“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 building. Never a problem with the management 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!”

“Absolute worst, they never answer the phone or get back to you. Two young people work the office and are unprofessional and unreliable and LIE about everything. There are roaches and most of all BEDBUGS, I got my last month refunded because of this and they have a "fake" supervisor who they can never reach and who is just as worst. DONT MOVE HERE period!”

“I lived here for most of the year and moved out this fall because of BEDBUGS. They are in this building and they are REAL. The 3 units around mine had bedbugs as well & when the tenants moved out I knew something was up. I informed management of the issue & they acted as if I was making things up, but when I showed them bites & when a family member showed them bites (that had to be treated by a physician) they did get someone in to treat my unit. It was treated twice but by then I did not want to deal with "waiting to see if treatment will take effect". I got out my lease easily enough because I believe the management knows there's a bedbug infestation. The sad thing is they refuse to do anything about it. This is a historic building and would be outstanding if current management was quite frankly, fired. I have scars on my arm from this bedbug issue and I should have been reimbursed for everything related to it, but I'm just glad I got out before I had to get rid of more furniture (lost a couch & an arm chair). A few more things. The management at this place NEVER answers the phone. Even after several messages, you'll be lucky if someone calls you back. Also, they are quite shady at disclosing information and act as if they are better than the tenants that live there. If they cop a bit of an attitude, just get one back. Oh yes, I'm still waiting on my security deposit (after 3 months). To save yourself a heck of a lot of trouble, just DON'T MOVE IN HERE. Keep looking elsewhere, you can find so much better”

“I read the posts about them with concern myself. I moved here from the East Coast about 9 months ago...apparently bed bugs are a big thing out here on the West Coast? In any case - I moved in a month ago myself and have no issues with bugs. Our last apartment we were in for 8 months and barely spoke to any neighbor - even a casual hello was met with a blank stare. Everyone in the building has been SO helpful, and SO friendly, and SO neighborly. My son and I are very happy with our move. We love the building, and the people, and the neighborhood. The parking is convenient, we've had no trouble walking at night either - we walk our dog, and sometimes late classes have us going in and out of the building very late. The building was highly recommended to me by a tenant who'd lived here for a year herself, and I asked her about all the posts I'd read and she answered the same way...no trouble, no bugs, etc. I don't work here, but the management has been very helpful to me specifically whenever I've had any questions, or needs. Love the large laundry (and the price is much lower per load than my last apartment!), and I will eventually get to the workout room, I promise!”

“I moved in in July and it has been a complete PLEASURE to live here. The building has great management and maintenance. I have not had any signs of bed bugs at all, and I would know because I had a bed bug issue where I lived a year ago. I was apprehensive about moving in after reading the bed bug report on this web site, and that is why I only signed a 6-month lease, but after this month is over I will definitely extend the lease. The parking structure is very convenient and is only across the street-- no need to EVER worry about finding a parking space in this area. I know how parking can be a pain bc I lived in K-town and I would need to circle for an HOUR!! It was absolutely ridiculous. I had an issue w the plumbing and it was fixed the next day! The building has a HUGE laundry room, and it also has a gym! The area is totally walkable during the day, but Im still scared about walking around at night, but hey it LA! It will be shady anywhere after 11pm. And if people complain about the noise, c'mon people youre in the CITY!”

“Living here has been a complete nightmare. First off, the reviews below mentioning the prevalence of bed bugs in the building are all completely true!!! Imagine waking up each day with your arms covered with red, itchy bites. The fact that the management has not taken any measures to correct or address this problem is an indicator that it doesn't care (which really isn't a smart idea since they may be putting themselves at risk to a possible lawsuit in the future from all the angry and unsatisfied tenants!!!! Furthermore, while there is parking provided, it's in a lot that is a block away from the apartment. Mind you, we live right next to MacArthur Park, so walking to and from your car is NOT recommended at night. When I signed my lease, the leasing agents told me that there was a waiting list for the few parking spaces that are located behind the building, but I have been here for a year and I'm still on the waitlist!!!! Yes, the rent is relatively cheap and it is pet-friendly, but PLEASE DO NOT MOVE HERE AT ALL COSTS. The headache and stress that you will undergo once you move in here will quickly outweigh the few benefits (if any) that Park Wilshire offers.”

“Where do I begin??!! Please ....I repeat!!! PLEASE DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!! BEWARE!!! And I'll be the first to say that YES i am a disgruntled ex tenant and I'm pissed off that i'm taking time 2 write this BS!!!!!! But thank goodness 4 yelp...this made me feel better =) 1st - BED BUGS!!!!!! If anyone would like to see the receipt for the treatment of my unit....I'll have no problem emailing it. Along with the very costly receipt of items I needed (and haven't been reimbursed 4) to buy 4 the preparation of treatment!! i was in and out of my unit in under 3weeks!!! and management was very well aware of an existing problem in my unit (twice b4 i move in). I along with several other units in the building have been affected by this problem!! Several people have moved out of there unit's.... i'm shocked not 2 see more complaints on here?!! 2nd - UNCOOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT!! This building's "corporation" has a very tight nit of people working for them...which made it very difficult 4 me, trying to get anyone to listen, when a problem arrived!? Time and time I've called and the REGIONAL MANAGER is either "always sick"...."out of the office"...on "another call"..."stepped away for a min"...or "left early"??!! and upper management has no intention in making ur living experience there enjoyable.!!! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! 3rd- SECURITY!!!! "Big" problem....very unpleasant personality...highly agitated. And constantly breaking the building's own rules!!?? (smoking in common area's, talking loudly outside after hours, making VERY politically incorrect comments, seeing u struggle with something at the front door and just stare at you (while he sits and reads)?!! How can anyone feel safe in a building where the "security"makes people feel uneasy??!! This man should have been asked to resign a looooooong time ago... unfortunately he and the person in charge of his job...let's just say..have a "close relationship.".um hm =/ ? 4th- THEY'RE THIEVES!!!! After myself and my roommate move out of our unit... because of the bed bug infestation...we we're told we would get 100% of our deposit back !! and when we received our check in the mail 30 days later.... we were charged 4 the removal of our beds!!?? along with half of the 1st months rent?? wtf??!! are they SERIOUS??!! iyiyiyiyiyi =? and now ...of course I've been getting the run around in the office... ?? go figure...huh?! i'd like to end this note by saying ....I should have taken them to court...sued em 4 all i could...but this seems like a much better outlet to use to get ish off my chest!!~! Happy hunting!! xoxo”

“This place may look good at first glance, but there have been robberies in the building recently and the landlord refuses to do anything about it. In addition, the heat has not been working in the building for several years and management still refuses to fix it. Plus, the free parking is not entirely safe, as one of the exits has a non-working light in an area know for high crime rates. Plus, your car may get vandalized at the free parking they provide.”

“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. Really! 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 really 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.”

“Don't be fooled. It may look nice and quiet but the truth is that there have been 6 break ins. The building has fake cameras but they don't record. The manager lies and says that nothing has happened. Check with Rampart Division police station. Crime in the area is up. Ladies are not safe. There was a killing at the parking lot across the street and there are drive bys and more gang activity than ever. Very dangerous and not for any single women. Glad I moved.”
