I went to LAPD to have them release it since it was only for expired registration which I got updated. They called the tow yard and the tow yard refused to release it. Officer Tran and Officer Garcia knew this wasn't right and spent 2+ hours calling their supervisor, calling the tow yard multiple times, and everything else they could do to make sure I got my car that day. They were beyond helpful and so kind to me. They really could have brushed me off and told me they couldn't help, but they wanted to do the right thing and did everything in their power to make sure I felt taken care of. I hope the universe brings them all the love, success, and happiness! Such amazing men!

The peace of mind of knowing my application was completed was worth showing up in person though. The staff are a little less warm and fuzzy. My clerk greeted me with "I.D." I greeted her with a warm hello but it just fell flat as the clerk continued to process me in without looking up. But to her credit she looked up gave me a very big warm smile once my name change was completed. She seemed genuinely happy for me. The security guards were intimidating but more welcoming of you weren't arguing with them about how your sharp metal tools aren't anymore dangerous than a toothbrush. That actually happened. lol! But overall my experience was easy and convenient...and free. I walked so if you need to bring your car you'll pay a premium parking fee.

To live and die in L.A., it's the place to be You've got to…read morebe there to know it, what everybody wanna see... Upon entering off Figueroa St you'll see two lines to your left, one for birth the other for death. The forms off to the right either for birth or death certificates. Once you complete your form you'll have two lines. Service is very quick I was in and out with the birth certificate in less than 10 minutes around 11am. Plan your day to avoid the LA traffic jam then enjoy your day in LA. Both parents do not need to be present to obtain a birth certificate. Parking available in the structure or street meter. If meter parking is available I suggest that one as you typically won't be there long. So if you live or pass away in LA this is a place you'll have to be at. Don't worry you won't wait in traffic like on the LA freeways at this spot. God bless

They ignore anonymous complaints. Even when not anonymous, they don't do their jobs. I reported…read morerats in my building ceiling (common shared indoor hallway ceiling) where you could see the foam tiles chewed away at almost every corner, and many round urine stains. I specifically reported that they were in the ceiling, I can hear them running in the evenings. The county inspector came over, notified the building manager days before coming, and said she saw nothing. Of course, the manager quickly replaced the foam tiles, painted them, patched them up and vaccuumed the floor. There were still signs - some urine stains and some chewed corners of tiles- but when I asked if she had seen that evidence, she said it was only in her "job description to look down for rat feces - not to look up." I was amazed... I asked specifically for her to look into rats living in a ceiling space and it's not in her job description to look up? What a sad excuse. It's disgusting that these employees don't do what's morally right, and they get paid big $. Why would you announce that you're going to do an inspection so the builing can hide their evidence? Why wouldn't you look up? You expect me to believe that there's a job description that says don't look up? or barely shift a tile to see the rat nests/feces? I offered to do this myself in her presence and she refused to come back for me to show her the feces. Tax money laundering at it's finest. What is the point of this department if no one does their job? Not even the supervisor cared when I called in. She could hardly speak English, and didn't care at all. Her job security is off the charts.

Walk in, no appointment, my first visit. Parked across the street where dollar store was located…read moreand entered DPSS past 11:30a. I was seen fairly quickly but likely due to my uncomplicated request. When I left near 12:30p, there was a line out the door with security limiting access inside due to capacity. Security kept the limit of people inside comfortable for everyone. I came at the perfect time, and recommend considering arriving before employees take their breaks for lunch. This location seems extremely busy, and long waits are likely common depending on your situation. With an ever revolving door of people coming in requesting help, employees look spent and over it. I don't blame them, but it was a little depressing once I was called. Most people waiting inside were in good spirits, but the energy of employees behind the glass were over it and again, I was gone by 12:30p. They probably get some out of pocket guests often. The welcome crew that guides and hands your numbers were in better spirits, they really do set the tone for everyone coming in. It can't be easy, so I appreciate everyone that made this experience so seamless.

For the past 4 years they have secretly been phasing out the section 8 status without letting the tenants know. They get billions from HUD to provide housing, instead they are taking it away and have never offered new housing over all these years. No more vouchers EVER, but it wouldn't matter for us, mostly elderly disabled and they are abruptly kicking us out near the end of the year. I wish an attorney would read these things and step up to help us. We can't pack, look for or afford an apartment. LOMOD Property Investments own all of the properties and all of the housing money goes into their properties, and were given nonprofit status by Villaraigosa. Instead of providing housing, they are taking housing away.
