Tenant Reviews for 467 ARNAZ DR

Some of these reviews are just horrible. I've been living in the building for over a year and have never had any of these issues. Yea, the building may have gone through this city thing as described in one of the reviews, but seriously? There is nothing wrong with the building and as a matter of fact, the building is kept up better than any other dingy thing in the Beverly Hills area. I was thinking about moving out to save money and was looking around the area at comparable buildings. Go across Burton Way and see what you get for the price you pay here, it's atrocious. The reviews talking about the staff are just ridiculous, they have been nothing but wonderful to me and on several occasions I've just sat in the office chatting with them because they're fun to talk to and the maintenance fix what needs to be fixed as quickly as possible. They've even gone out of their way to put a package inside my apartment when I wasn't home and even check on my cat because I asked them for a favor. The location of the building is excellent. I'm close to anything in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and Century City. There are so many great restaurants in the area that are just a short Uber ride away. All in all this building is great and I love it. Too bad these other reviewers may have had negative experiences. You never hear about the good stuff, people need to get the sticks out of their you-know-whats, like, just live your life, people, it's not that bad.

This one is good for living, but very expensive. But the facilities in not quite good enough.

This apartment building is a facade- beautiful exterior, safe neighborhood, and large units. But when you look closer, you see what's REALLY going on. That's it's an overpriced, unsafe and disgusting place to live. The positive reviews are as fake as the "granite" countertops and "wood" cupboards. (They're stickers) The neighborhood is the only thing going for it. A huge concern is mold- the bathrooms are not equipped with strong enough fans to tackle mold growing on the high ceilings. Also- the air conditioning units reek of mildew and mold. Complain and they'll come put some perfume in it for you to take care of it! Talking to neighbors in the elevator confirms that we aren't the only ones who have ended up with the deodorizer "solution." The biggest concern is with safety. The building was put into REAP (Rent Escrow Account Program) because of fire safety standard violations. It was great because we received 20% off in rent. Yay! But the celebration was pretty short lived. They were removed from REAP on March 30, 2016. Not two weeks later, an actual fire broke out; flames + black smoke coming from a unit on the top floor. Not a SINGLE fire alarm went off. The management team did not call 911 as they said it must be a BBQ. A tenant called 911 and being close to Beverly Hills, the BHFD came incredibly quickly and the fire was (thankfully) contained to that one unit. Management failed to act. The fire safety standards failed the tenants. The LA Housing Department should look back into IMT Beverly Arnaz. Reading other reviews, I see that the management team responds to tenants' grievances by saying "If you know of any illegal activity, please notify us and we'll check the cameras." Except, they don't. We reported mail theft for months and were told that management, in fact, did NOT have access to cameras. So, you ay this just to put on a good face to potential tenants online, pretending that you can do something when you won't. And mail theft isn't the only crime plaguing this place- there is a drug dealer who lives in the building, doing business outside of the lobby and in front of the building. Cars have been vandalized. Pot smoke is constantly smelled throughout the halls. A homeless man was living in the hallway for well over a month. They hired a security guard for three nights as a solution. Three. College students throw parties (not that big of a deal) but it's an issue when they take psychedelic drugs and kick down their neighbor's door. This actually happened to our poor neighbor. She's having to seek counseling about it now. Walk your dog on Saturday or Sunday morning and you'll be greeted with beer cans, half drunk red cups, cigarette butts and liquor bottles from people who couldn't finish their drinks before Uber got there. Tenants leave their trash by the elevators doors or on your car, wherever they decide to throw it (which is never a trash can) Staff from the local hospitals eat their lunches outside of the building and leave their trash their too- not IMT's fault but they do little to clean it up or enforce anything. People have vomited in the elevator and hallways and it sits there over the weekend until the cleaning team comes on Mondays. The building has no ramps for wheelchairs or strollers. The main elevator in the lobby is broken about three times a month, leaving 100 units to share one elevator. The washing machines are old and steal your money. The building is dog friendly which we love except for the aggressive dogs that are not on leash and have lunged at us and our children. The list goes on and on and on and on. Do not believe the hype, people. IMT Beverly Arnaz is NOT a good place to live. It a facade, a farce, a mirage.

I agree with the other resident. The rental manager seems very unfriendly. I came to look at a unit and from the first, I did not feel welcome. And he threw the rug out from under me when I made an appointment to be the first to see a unit and when I emailed to confirm the appointment I was told the unit had been rented - with NO notification from him. If I hadn't sent the email, I would have taken off from work and showed up there only to find out then the unit was gone. Very inconsiderate. He seemed to have an "air" about him that felt negative. I honestly felt that because I am "older" he was trying to discourage me to rent. Also, when I was interested in another unit the price skyrocketed from the first one I liked - another indication that I wasn't wanted there.

We moved to IMT Beverly Arnaz over a year ago. The former manager ---- and his assistant ------ were absolutely wonderful and helpful ,they made the whole move in experience very easy. They were super friendly and welcoming . Any concerns we had were taken care of. Overall the whole vibe in the building was very positive . Now there is a new manager ---- and the whole vibe totally changed. He is rude and if we have any concerns he acts like he is doing us a favor. Before I made sure to stop by the management office to say hi to ---- and ------,now I'm trying to avoid it as much as I can. After ---- left the most helpful maintenance guy -- quit as well ,which I am not surprised . They hired a new one who doesn't even say hi when he sees you . I feel like everything is going down the hill in this building. We were so happy at first but now we are considering moving .

This is the worst apartment building in all of Beverly Hills. I am a current resident and there is a homeless man living in the building!! He has been living in the hall on one of the floors for weeks now, he is there every single night and management has not and will not do anything, they are useless. Residents have even called the cops on him and all the cops do is kick him off the premises. But then he comes back right after. Do not live here, the building is dirty and never taken care of. Way to expensive for what you get. Long story short management sucks!!!
