    nice neighborhood, poor management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The local community is strong - the area is very accepting & familiar for individuals from Spanish-speaking communities. Lots of local options for Dominican produce & food. There is a lovely garden in the courtyard that is well-maintained.
    Cons:
    There is a mice problem, the water pressure is criminally low (seriously it takes twice as long to get shampoo out of hair) & the heating system is very outdated meaning at any given moment you will be too cold or too hot, there is no nuance. Every tenant facing representative I spoke to from Ventura was notably rude & showed very poor comprehension skills; this is particularly unsettling as a woman dealing with a company seemingly run largely by men. Their legal director is either incompetent or purposefully malicious (and quite bad at hiding it). Additionally the trash collection area is quite a walk (and many stairs) away from the units though I guess there is not much that can be done in that particular regard. I faced package thefts & smelled marijuana in the hallways often.
    Advice to owner:
    Enhance your public image, the company's website is inaccessible at this time & there is very little public information on your work & contact (no website, LinkedIn, Instagram) which appears quite sketchy. Additionally consider training or re-training some of your tenant facing representatives in communication & tech literacy. Consider re-evaluating your workforce to include more (or any) women & other diverse voices. Please upgrade your heating & water systems. Lastly, please never let go of that garden it is quite lovely & one of the best things about this property.
