Tenant Reviews for 505 N FIGUEROA ST

Moving from out of state all you have to rely on is the internet and hope the policies are enforced by the management company. Potential residents specifically seeking pet free communities rejoice when the website says "NO PETS". Unfortunately the fine print says "but not on the weekends" building attracts lots of students and transients that live here because of downtown "lifestyle" whatever that is. It is a "luxury" property so I guess a lot of people here for the lifestyle confuse this for a resort with round the clock cleaning staff and do not place trash in the shute, pick up pet poop nor leash their animals that per the website and lease should not be here. Been here just over a year and it appeared management was working on tenants "sneaking" in pets, but it has become glaringly obvious occupancy rates trump comfort and safety, the two reasons I seek pet free communities. There are barking and whining dogs starting at 4:30am through midnight most days (I try to work from home). In addition to the annoyance, I am afraid of dogs having been attacked twice as a child. I am also slightly handicap and cannot run, so I am forced to carry a taser because of all of the (unleashed) dogs on the property. The property is beautiful if you can stand the dog noise and marijuana smoke in full force most weekends. Management claims they are working on the dog issue but use wording that indicates not really. Resident services is a great bunch of young people that are polite and generally get small tasks cared for. Most of the service staff is polite as well and work quickly, just a few lapse into Spanish when you make a request the don't seem eager to do (pick up dog poop). Management is not on site evenings and weekends and it shows.

It's been more than 7 months since I moved The Orsini Apartments. My experience during the leasing process was really fast and smooth. (However, I wish I could see the apartment before I sign the lease instead of seeing it from the model.) During those 7 months whenever I need maintenance in my apartment the management is fast and responsive. Also leasing manager Marissa is super nice and helpful. It's so unfair because people writing bad reviews because what I noticed since I moved here management trying to do their best to take care of any problems, any tenants and any potential tenants.

It is an amazing place I asked for hard wood flooring which was unavailable but they make a new one just for me. The apartment was clean and the staff is amazing especially Marissa and Vanessa. They gave me alot of offer which make me say yes without thinking for a single second

I was apartment hunting for a while until I came to the Orsini, I knew this was the one. I had met with Marissa and she was so helpful, kind, understanding and very detail oriented in answering all of my questions. There wasnt a doubt in my mind that I wanted to move in here. This being the first time living on my own, I was to say the least, a bit scared, and the process was exhausting due to my own faults, but Marissa was very patient and understanding every step of the way. I absolutely love all the amenities and the security. I love that they also offer package concierge, so that I am confident that all my packages are safe and will be there when I get home. Everyone is courteous and I love the location. I also love that there is a balcony and especially the fact that there is a washer/dryer in the unit as well. I was a bit hesitant in living in LA due to the noise, but its actually surprisingly less than I expected. Overall, I would definitely refer this place to anyone and anyone would be lucky to live here!

I moved into orsini about 3 years ago the first year was great, other than ALL the homeless people around the area. Then the second year turned horrible !! The resident service were HORRIBLE, someone broke into all the mailboxes which I had packages STOLEN from there and resident service never did anything about it, I cut my foot at their pool on glass (prob from all the alcohol people bring down there) and they made ME pay for all the blood that came leaking out my foot. Then at the end I was hanging lights up on my balcony on the 6th floor and I fell 6 stories that's 60 feet + I broke every bone in my body, fractured my skull, broke my pelvis, back, infused my spine, arm, and both feet...because I was alone out here I had to go back to Boston to heal so I had to leave suddenly but my lease was up anyways. So while I was at the hospital my mom packed up my belongings and we left. SIX MONTHS LATER I get an EMAIL stating I owe close to 3,000 $ now I read the reviews of this place and MANY people said they did the same thing to them. I didn't owe any money I paid my rent, and my mother talked to resident service when she returned the keys and they tried to make her pay more money but my mom isn't dumb and told them they sent a letter saying if we were out before a certain day then we didn't, after Adam (the manager) had to "double check" he came back and said we were ALL SET!!! Now 6 months later they want to charge someone who can't even walk, has brain issues, and doesn't even have a job at the moment 3,000 dollars. This place is a joke and JUST WANTS TO TAKE YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR MONEY, its over priced and homeless people sneak in all the time and sleep in the stair way. Sincerly, an extremely pissed off ex resident .
