Pacific Electric Lofts

The downsides to the building are as follows:
Irresponsible pet owners, cheap appliances, over crowded parking, constant raucous parties and inconvenient movie shoots inside the actual building. Oh yeah, and the neighborhood is seriously dodgy.
I grew up living in the city and have considered myself pretty street-savvy but with the rash of violence recently downtown and the proximity to Skid Row, people who scare easily should stay far away from the PE Loft & females DO NOT go out alone around… the building at night. (Side note about the location: the entire block smells like urine CONSTANTLY. Don't stand outside on the corner for too long or you might have to hurl).
Parking - OK the parking situation is terrible. It absolutely SUCKS.
$150 bucks a month to park in the lot is ok.....except there is never parking as the building lets the public pay & park (greedy) they care more about making money that the people who live in & the building & pay to park in the building. You shouldn't plan on bringing guests and parking in this lot either because its 25 bucks for overnight fee. Parking downtown is always a hassle and its one of the worst parts of living in this area.
drugs everywhere - I know it legal but there are some people who don't want to smell drugs in the carpark, in the elevator, in the corridor.
Wall are thin, constantly disturbed when trying to sleep Read More

I give up with this building.
I have an electric vehicle, there a charging stations within in the building this is partly why I chose this building.
Unfortunately the building allows anybody to just park in the electric charging spots without using the electrical outlet and because they are right next to the access door to elevators they are always taken (there are signs that the spots should only be used for electric charging but not enforced so people of course people take advantage & just… park there).
This obviously causes problems because I cannot charge my vehicle... Without a charge my vehicle does not work... I cannot get to work...so I'm completely stuck.
I have to go up and down from my apartment again and again in the vein hope that one of the spots will be free so I can charge my vehicle to get to and from work. It's exhausting.
I've emailed and contacted the building numerous times about this and they just don't care so now I'm at the point where I either have to change my vehicle or break my lease to leave the building to get somewhere new, which is a nightmare as you can imagine. Read More

This building is dirty and dangerous.
Do not waste your time with the most unprofessional staff.
The Cecil hotel is nextdoor & they seem determined to be the next Cecil hotel.
No wonder they have 20 open apartments & have to offer months of free rent because of the amount of people moving out.
All of the people I know in the building can not wait to get out of contract to find a new decent place to live which is not a dirty & dangerous place to live.
When I moved into my apartment there were… roaches all over -  exterminator came on the first day and put down roach traps?
I literally would find roaches crawling out of piping and walls.
unbelievable.
There are rats in the carpark, big rats. This building has an infestation!
I knew I would see these things being in downtown LA, but not to this extent. I also thought management would be more on top of these issues but they are not they do not care - all they care about it your money.
Parking is a nightmare - my car has been broken into twice.
While I like dogs, people's pets pee and poop in the hallways, and I've seen pee remain on the floor for days at a time. The trash chutes are often blocked and sometimes the lights in the trash rooms don't come on so people can't use the chutes. Read More
