Angelenos are living in horrific conditions in a supposedly luxuryapartment complex on Miracle Mile— and claim the building is doing nothing to help.
Park La Brea, whichboasts knock-down rental pricesfor as low as $2,000 for a studio, actually has numerous issues such as flooding, mold, plumbing and HVAC, renters claim.
The site, made up of 4,000 units in 18 tower blocks next to The Grove, was built in 1951 and is in dire need of updating, the residents argue.
“It’s been incredibly frustrating,” resident Karimah Aledelbi told KTLA. “We had some issues that caused severe damage in our neighbor’s unit, which resulted in, at this stage now, I think it’s been 10 or 11 weeks without a shower.”
A water leak has caused issues in Aledelbi’s unit and forced her and her partner to use the complex’s pool shower while theirs remains inoperable. But the pool shower comes with an extra $150monthly fee.
Because of the leak, mold has spread in their neighbor’s unit, which Aledelbi claims they can smell.
“Because of the severe water damage that this leak caused next door with our neighbor, there was significant mold on his side,” she alleged. “The smell obviously permeated into our unit.”
Another resident, who identified herself only as “Rayko,” says the building’s HVAC system may pose serious and potentially life-threatening risks. She didn’t clarify why exactly.
“It may cause severe injury or possible death. Health issues and possible death to the resident,” Rayko claimed.
Another resident said their apartment was flooded for weeks but management only agreed to move her if she signed a non-disclosure agreement about the flooding problems.
