5015 Clinton

Shady. Liars. You want to pay rent to live in a hostel? Shady people everywhere– especially the management office. Unexpected costs and problems. Unsafe. Useless security. They do a criminal background check them rent many units on airbnb. Nightmare. Office says it is «bad tenants» but they pay the tax! Inspectors came from Housing Dept and told them all «hotel rooms» must be pulled offline.
They are ignoring this order thus far. So shady and a nightmare for tenants.

First time i review on Unilocal and i would like to say This is not the place you want to stay they trying to change but i’m not so sure what will happen
I stayed for almost 3 years every year was frustrated more due to lease increase and finally got out with unreasonable pay around $ 2500

The previous reviews speak for themselves people… If you are thinking about moving here, take that $ 2300/​mo, donate it to the cornucopia of homeless surrounding the building and then go find out what shelter they live at and JOIN THEM! You’ll be better off than living here!
I lived here for one year with my brother from 7÷2013− 7 – 2014 and overall the building was decent and the neighbors were 95% great but that’s where the good reviews stop for this place.
When we moved in the property management was under Redwood Urban and while many people spoke bad about the manager Faheim I found him to be a pretty reliable guy when it came to honoring requests, getting things done… at the very least he’d pick up the damn phone and talk with you. THEN… about April 2014 the building was sold and became managed under Cirrus asset management and Raintree management which one exactly I don’t know because when I’d try and call either I could never get ahold of a single person so I have my doubts as to whether either existed and that in fact… ghosts…yes GHOSTS actually owned and operated Clinton apartments.
As for physical beings that showed their face (only due to having lived in the building themselves) their new manager Darlene and her sidekick Michelle are UBER INCOMPETENT absolutely ATROCIOUS at the so called careers! Now I honestly do not ever recall categorizing another human being as atrocious but this woman’s management skills, people skills, customer service skills, etc are all about as bad as they can humanly get. Think the Ebola virus if it were suddenly and magically blown up into a life sized human being and given a property management job… THAT’S Darlene!
She as stated happened to live in the building and I could go on and on with stories about how unfriendly she is and will literally walk right by you, look at you and keep walking, how NOTHING got done in the three months she took over, not a notice of improvements, not a single update and when asked she would simply shrug her shoulders and give me this stupid Kentucky back woods stare like «I dunno. whatcha askin me for. durrr».
The list goes on and on people and the request and complaints given to her by the tenants are surely tossed straight into the trash. Considering she lived in the building you think she would have been aware of such things as the stains on the shitty hallway carpet, the trash laying around, all that obvious stuff that a manager should see and have taken care of but no that was far too much to ask from her, not for a measly $ 2300/mo…you only get that kind of service in her eyes for $ 5k+ sucker!
Honestly as much as I’m a fan I’m pretty sure that not even Batman could save this place. Be warned if you tread in the face of my advice and move in thinking you’ve found a gem in the heart of Hollywood for a fraction of the surrounding prices. It may be decent until you have a problem or need something because that’s when the fit will really hit the shan.

shocking uncaring management, a rodent infestation is in the building, and the building smells like refuse, recently aswell cars were broken into and property stolen in the building.
this building is very unsafe, over priced, and allows oversize dangerous dogs to walk the corridors unleashed, management simply do not care.

Lived here for 2 years, poor experience.
We went through 3 landlords and they were all unresponsive to any of our requests.
I moved from one apartment to another and they never gave me my security deposit back (~$ 400). I finally filed a small claims suit and they «happened to find my check».
Then, upon final move out from another apartment in the same building, we were expecting to get a portion of our $ 600 security deposit back, as we kept the apartment pretty immaculate, however, to our surprise, they sent us a bill for an additional $ 1300 (on top of the $ 600 that we weren’t getting back). This additional bill did not list any specific charges.
After refusing to pay the move-​out fees without additional information as to why we are being charged, they sent the bill to collections.

DON’T DO IT — REDWOOD URBAN ARE TERRIBLE.
Knock on the doors of the people who live here, you will find they can’t wait to get out.
The rent goes up each year, do they re-​carpet? NO. There is animal stains on the carpet FILTHY. The building on Clinton has occupancy constantly. It is never full and people move out within 12 months of moving in. Save yourself the moving costs — stay out!!!
They will tell you anything to get you in and then change managers who say «oh well I don’t know anything about that». You have to pay trash, water and waste ON TOP of rent. They won’t tell you that til you are signing the lease and you see it there.
You have been warned.
NO management on the property so it is loud, dogs not on leads who bark and sh*t
It is horrible. I really wanted it to be great now we can’t wait to move.

After living here for few months this is my experience.
1– The apartment wasn’t cleaned properly when we first got it, there were nails in the carpet randomly everywhere most probably were left from people installing carpet.
2– The phone lines were not working at all, we spent weeks trying to install AT&T DSL service and finally AT&T gave up.
3– When we switched to use TWC Cable instead, we found out that all the cable outlets in the walls are façades with no actual wiring in the wall — SERIOUSLY A JOKE — after hours with the TWC technician we found a wire hanging from one of the corner walls that had signal, and that’s the ONLY place in the whole 2 bedroom apartment where we could get any signal.
4– The corridors between apartments are dirty and filthy, and it seems that the last time they were cleaned or painted was at least 5 years ago
5– People leave their dogs without leashes running in corridors and pooping in the elevator
6– The pool doesn’t get cleaned as often as it should, the only time I tried it, there were dead insects everywhere in the water.
7– The walls are paper thin, you can hear noises everywhere you go, and then they come after you with noise complaints and eviction threats with 3 DAYS notice.
Simply put, we can’t wait till our lease ends so we can get the hell out of this place, please please please consider any other place, seriously we have been renting in many states and cities for well over 6 years and this is by far the worst we’ve ever seen.
