I have been renting a space in the Hellman building for my small office for about 8 years now. In an effort to try and solve some of the problems we have been having in the building and receiving no help, I am here to warn the downtown community and any possible interested parties looking for space in the downtown area.
Between the barking dogs, the ridiculously slow elevators and the non-​responsive manager, avoid renting in this building. Yes the rent is reasonable but you are on your own once you are in. There’s no community between the management and the tenants. There is also a lot of filming on 4^th street that is typically loud and interrupts the day. The maintenance crew is nice and helpful but the problem lies in the management, which seems to just «paint over» the problems within the building.
Other than the reasonable rent, there’s not much praise that can be said about the efforts of the holding company to make the living experience for it’s tenants better here in the Hellman building.

We’ve lived in two different units in the San Fernando building. The management have been extraordinarily nice and accommodating. The units were both nice, with good views of the Old Historic Core. There was even a marked improvement with the homeless problem. Some of the neighbors are annoying and unfriendly, but still a great, affordable place to live downtown.
