The roach infestation the elevator breaks down and only breaks down and only patch jobs which leaves us disable  stranded in our rooms also according to the building code the elevator is also suppose to be able to fit 2 wheelchairs in it .  the oven in community room doesn't work the outlet in my room are some how connected to switch by my door and have been turned of when they do bedbug inspection. no treatment just bedbug inspection and you can see the roaches and rats in this place. also DISH has committed a lease violation by not giving me written or even for that matter verbal of rent increase in which DISH already take 60 percent. Georgetta and Lauren been made aware of and refuse to do anything about and evict me and was told when by both them when I contacted 311.org and building inspectors. if they are fined they will make sure I never get housing again. it was funny after building inspector found this place in violation ACC was out here on an unfounded case of dog abuse and neglect my dog is spoiled rotten and hasn't been abused or neglected and I can prove this. I have been informed by Lauren Hill that my dog dishes (he gets his dishes washed regularly and new dishes once a month) is the reason for the roach infestation of the building

Steps to take

#2Consumer Suggestion

Mon, May 27, 2013

1. Take pictures

2.  Document any and all communication between yourself and the landlords. Record dates and people involved.

3  Start a petition. I know that many will be reluctant to sign it, afraid of becoming homeless but if nothng changes, everything will remain the same.

4. Start calling local newspapers and/or t.v. stations. One may be interested in runnin the story.

Under California law, all residential leases and rental agreements have an implied "warranty of habitability." This means that the landlord must ensure that the rental unit is fit for occupation by human beings and that it substantially complies with state and local building and health codes that materially affect tenants' health and safety. Unless specified by the rental agreement, a landlord is not required to make minor repairs, or defects caused by the tenant.

Examples of situations which would make a rental unit "uninhabitable":

  • debris, garbage, rodents and vermin located in the unit or main areas of the building
  • a faulty electric system
  • no heat or faulty heating system
  • faulty gas facilities
  • no hot water
  • holes in walls, broken windows
  • broken deadbolt on outside door to unit
  • flooding due to poor plumbing system

If you are living in substandard conditions or your unit has a serious defect such as those described above, you should:

  1. document the conditions with photographs and journal entries;
  2. complain to the owner of the building in writing (the letter should be dated, signed, and copied for your records); and
  3. contact your local housing code enforcement agency, as well as the L.A. County Department of Public Health at 1-888-700-9995.
