Review for Hollywood Place Apartments

This was the most uncomfortable, unfriendly living situation I've ever been in! No one talks to anyone, you will never get to know your neighbors or have any friends in the building - this was the furthest thing from a "community" atmosphere I have ever seen. I totally blame this on the revolving door of tenants and transients and the fact that hardly anyone stays there longer than one lease term and certainly not long enough to get to know their neighbors! Again, this is the fault of the management staff and the way they run the building. Sure, some people come in feeling good about their apartment - then you talk to them 6 months or a year later, after they receive notice that their rent is going up by $200, and they all hate the building, hate the managers, can't wait to get out and don't want to have anything to do with anyone that lives there!

The building has NO security and management refuses to hire any, even though most other buildings of this size (that charge less than this) in the area have a full time security guard. This building is unsafe - there is constant car vandalism and theft, the mailboxes have been broken into and tampered with, and homeless people sneak in and sleep on the roof or in the stairwells all the time. The managers know about all of this but would never be honest with you about it or do anything about it. If I were a young, single girl in Hollywood, I would be terrified for my safety to live in that place. In addition, every year you will have to deal with a massive ant and termite infestation, and residents that let their dogs uriniate and defecate on the carpeting and in the elevators without cleaning it up. I've seen prostitutes subleting there and doing business in their apartments, and I've seen people sublet their units illegally to groups of kids - packing 5 or 10 of them into a one bedroom, that the managers refused to do anything about even after you repeatedly complain to them. As a matter of fact, the managers do absolutely nothing except try to get new tenants in the door with a bunch of B.S. and raise the rents of everyone else that's already living there. Other than that, every manager that's ever been there has been completely useless, rude, insincere, dishonest and generally impossible to deal with.
