Alexandria Hotel alexandria hotel apartments bad managers no hot water no water pressure bad floors bug infestations Los Angeles California
In the office when you apply to live here, they have a video playing. Showing beautifully conditioned apartments with light colored wood floors. They like to say that many famous people stayed here in the first part of the 20th century but there are no photos on the internet or otherwise to substantiate these claims, so it's BS but whatever. I don't care who farted in these rooms 100 years ago. When I was first shown my unit, the first thing I noticed was the dark brown colored floor. This is your FIRST indication that you are about to move into a place with roach problems. Places like this do that to make it hard to see the roaches crossing the floor on patrol. I have had a bug problem and I have had the place fumigated to no avail. Every night, I can only take a bath bacause the hot water pressure is so bad that you cant shower with it. Then the sticky drain plug control, you have to fight with to get it to close. Then the water comes out intermittently. sometimes at the rate of tricling, sometimes it stops completely. Takes about an hour to get any volume of water in the tub at all. I complained about all of this for the last year and they have done nothing about it. The maintenence man came up and he fought with the drain control for a few minute before he could make it work and when he eventually makes it close, he says: see? it works. un-effing-believeable! Regarding the water pressure, they say: well, it;s an old building. I told them, well, the health department doesn't think that matters and neigther do i.
Then the floors. The floor was previously damaged or just old. I started getting splinters in my feet. I complained to Pasqual, who represents the ownership of the building. He said, the floor was fine when you got the unit, so tough s**t. All they did was put the brown paint over the floor going bad before. Then when the paint from the wrongly repaired floors comes off, it's my fault. I had to call the City of Los Angeles Inspectors office down here who agreed with me and forced them to repair the floor. How did they repair the floor? Wood Filler and paint. UN-ACCEPTIBLE. Then they told me that I can no longer sit on the repair area which is right in front of the cooking area and I need to sit to prepare my meals because I am severely handicapped. Besides, this unit it the size of a large jail cell. And they telling me where i can or can't sit? BS! I can tell that i will be having the contact the Inspectors office over and over in the future because they don't ever just do the right thing and fix something at all if not fixing it improperly. You would have to be CRAZY to want to live in a shithole like the Alexandria Hotel Apartments
