- A PIG with LIPSTICK ON -- Building and Staff…read more The so called " Relationship Managers" are rude and have ZERO interest in solving concerns after they get you to...sign a lease. They all get COMMISSION so unless you're there to sign on the dotted line.. they have no interest in having any kind of conversation to address your needs. All the ones I've encountered seem Young, BORED, and Disinterested in performing their jobs in a professional manner....and forget about "Good Customer Service".. that's a foreign concept at this establishment . They are SALES PEOPLE ( first and foremost) and the only relationship these " relationship managers " want with you is the one when you're in their office and signing on the dotted line. I asked a " Relationship Manager" for her manager or corporate office contact information , she turned her head and said she can't give out contact information to the general manager nor the corporate office. Huh? Who says that lol. Clearly she's not very bright... like we're not able to GOOGLE and get the AMIDI GROUP ( located in Redwood City, Ca. ) or the General Manager ARGIS contact information? The unfortunate thing about this building is that I have encountered this RUDE behavior from several of these " relationship managers" , not just one! Which make you wonder about the person who is at the top " managing them", to allow this type of behavior reflects badly on MANAGEMENT. Often staff will model how MANAGEMENT behaves...hmmm So in a nutshell , do I recommend this particular Concrete Jungle with their staff of rude ineffective GEN X Sales People? Absolutely not! There's many nicer places in LA with a staff that is also nice CARES about keeping tenants happy so that they'll want to stay...this place clearly just cares about getting your $$$$$. Don't let the fake smiles upon arrival fool you... once you're in... all of that changes!

SkyLux on Wilshire (formerly 1027 Wilshire Apartments) -- 1 out of 5 Stars…read more I am writing this review as both a returning resident and a property management industry professional with experience across luxury, commercial, LIHTC, and Section 8 properties. I was among the first tenants when this building opened as 1027 Wilshire under the Amidi Group three years ago. I recently moved back in four months ago, and the decline since then is significant, deeply concerning, and unacceptable for a property at this price point. Vehicle Break-In -- No Accountability My wife and I had our vehicle broken into within the active security perimeter of this property. Management refused to proactively review their own camera footage or report findings to law enforcement. Instead, we were told a police officer would need to come to the property to obtain the video. A police report had already been filed. Management has cameras throughout this building, can identify the perpetrator, determine which unit or area they accessed, and contact law enforcement directly. That is their professional responsibility. Handing raw footage to a victim who has a personal stake in identifying that person creates a safety and liability risk. This was never done. No follow-up, no resolution, no accountability whatsoever. Security Has Completely Fallen Apart Under the Amidi Group, security was a genuine standout. There were 6 to 7 officers on site at all times conducting active patrols. A security supervisor was present during morning and midday shifts. Tenants were personally contacted when guests arrived after set hours. Officers wore professional suits, some armed and some not, but you could not tell the difference -- and that professionalism alone was a deterrent. Today, security is visibly lazy and inattentive. Posts are not being maintained, patrols are nonexistent, and there is no supervisory presence. For a building experiencing active break-ins and ongoing criminal complaints, this is completely unacceptable. The Tenant Interview Process Is Gone One of the most effective practices under the Amidi Group was a mandatory tenant interview. It did not matter if you had a perfect credit score and strong financials -- if you failed that interview, you were not moving in. That standard protected the community and ensured residents were genuinely committed to maintaining the quality of the building. That process no longer exists. Current residents are now reporting prostitution activity on the sixth floor, with multiple complaints filed and no action taken by management. This is exactly what a rigorous screening process is designed to prevent. Management Is Reactive, Not Proactive Under previous management, every incident report was acknowledged and acted on. Residents received email updates confirming their concern was being addressed, with daily follow-up until resolution. The current management team does none of this. Complaints go unanswered. Incident reports disappear. There is no communication, no accountability, and no follow-through. This is not how a professional property management team operates at any level, let alone a luxury building. Unit Condition at Move-In Was Unacceptable When I moved back in, my furnished unit was not ready for occupancy. I found a pipe stored under the mattress, hair throughout the unit, dirty dishes left from the previous tenant, and a light fixture that flickered constantly. Maintenance came out and the issue was never fixed. I paid out of pocket for a professional deep cleaning just to make the unit livable. That cost should never fall on a resident. Move-in readiness is a basic obligation of property management. Ongoing Safety Hazards Left Unaddressed The entry gate is still not operational, despite management urgently demanding residents get parking stickers. Doors on the fourth floor and in multiple stairwells are being propped open regularly. The elevators do not require key card access, which is a direct security vulnerability given everything happening on this property. Multiple break-ins have been reported with no meaningful response. Prostitution complaints on the sixth floor remain unresolved. This building has a strong foundation and was an excellent place to live under its original management. What it has become under current ownership is a reflection of what happens when professional standards are abandoned. Until Esseks demonstrates real, consistent, and accountable change, I cannot recommend this property to anyone at this time.

One of the worst apartments in downtown. Getting any type of service done is like pulling teeth. We…read morehad informed several times during the week of our move in of specific problems like fire alarm issues and other maintenance issues and we where basically wrote off and made out to be liars like what we where experiencing wasn't happening. In our time living there we got to know other tenants very well and the consensus of opinion about management was the same across the board. Absolutely awful. Any noise complaints like dance parties/ classes directly above your unit is handled with a response close to " they are upstairs neighbors and noise will be heard, but we will talk to them and that is about all [they] can do". The results from that are absolutely nothing until they move which was our case. When trash shoots are clogged I was met with this response on several occasions " take a stick and poke it down". Packages are left by the front desk on the floor in a huge pile which are susceptible to being stolen. On many occasions important documents and packages were not received in any timely matter because of that fact. The front desk security there is an absolute joke! The front door which is supposed to have a buzzer does not work and there are many altercations with homeless people and people who are not supposed to be on the premises entering the building. On top of that the security at the front desk does absolutely nothing besides sit on their butt and watch sports on their phone or play video games on their phone. I find half the time they are outside the building having conversations with random people instead of actually doing their job. They also have a Checkin list that guests are supposed to sign into that in my entire stay there has never been filled out. In a case of emergency you won't have any information to go off of to refer to the police because of that. If I could give this apartment building a zero I would but because that is not a possibility I give it a one star.

I lived at Maxfield for 5 years and moved *only* because my partner and I moved in together (there…read morewasn't enough space for both of us in the Maxfield units). I absolutely loved my studio though - the high ceilings, exposed pipes, and clean, updated everything. I always appreciated the helpfulness of Jonathan and Alex, who were the main contacts during my residency. My favorite though, was Richard, the maintenance lead. He was consistently quick to respond to maintenance requests, always friendly, always kind. He even helped me hang a few pieces of artwork because I couldn't do it on my own! I deeply appreciated him and the crew, who showed pride in the upkeep and cleanliness of the building - lobby, gym, elevators, garbages, entryway. Thought it's not worth removing a star, it's worth noting that the front desk staff has seen a lot of turnover over the years. And honestly, their service and temperament have been... uneven. Not as consistently stellar as when I first moved in, with Jonathan and Alex as first points of contact - they've since been promoted (!). But, I moved out in July, 2024 so hopefully that's worked itself out and the front desk staff at Maxfield are back to offering excellent service all around. Anyhoo, I'm writing this review so many months after moving because this year, I missed seeing the NYE fireworks out of the beautiful windows of my Maxfield unit (the #5s)! lol And I want to affirm my primarily warm experience there and encourage new tenants to consider Maxfield as your home, as long as you're gonna care for it as well as Richard and his team do :) (And, as long as you're comfortable navigating the surrounding unhoused community. I never felt unsafe, but not everyone has the same sense of safety.)

We were an hour early so we strolled around the gorgeous property. The grandchildren saw the eggs and we were told that we had time for them to hunt before Tea. Such excitement! Well we were all thirsty and hungry. We had beautiful table right by the harp player. It was magical until I asked Pamela (our server) if any of the sandwiches contained garlic. We forgot to tell mention that when we made our reservations. Pamela said that the vegetarian menu might work for me. The grandsons were restless. My husband was about to pass out. Pamela said she'd bring me a special order and If i didn't like her choices she'd keep trying. Everyone was served. Tea flowed. Non alcoholic champagne soothed us. Then .....Ta Da...the food was presented! I had a tier "special for me." I tenderly tried a beautiful beet triangle. It was amazing. In fact, every mouthful was amazing. Pamela brought me 4 more savory delights. As we packed up to leave. Pamela gave everyone pink flower pens and a large Pink Box full of treats to take home. I was treated like royalty by Pamela. Next time we will ask for her.

Hands down, so amazing - Units are S P A C I O U S - Neighbors actually are kind + talk to you - Communal area pool + ranges are amazing - Staff, did I mention that already? - Walking distance to amazing food + drinks - Well maintained building Cons - Parking for guests (street parking - plenty, so not bad) The parking is not a deal-breaker for your guests. If you have two spaces and don't have two cars, you can always get them into your other space to avoid street parking. With meters and lots all over the area, what else would expect from the city life? It's safe here and frequently monitored by SouthPark officers as well. What I'll sorely miss about this place were the relationships that I built. I knew the entire staff and would wave, talk, and truly lean in with them all. Whether it was before/after work, going out for the night, or chatting, they were more than friendly. They became my community of friends. They felt like family. If you want a place that does not feel pretentious, has a community of others that say "hi" to you, and is close to the core of DTLA, come live here. It will be hard to find a staff that manages the building and secures it, then you will find it at ELLEVEN. Highly recommended, and I'll miss the southern hospitality that I received even in the heart of LA.

There is a persistent sewer smell in the unit, and management's solution was simply: "Open the window." They showed no real intention of fixing the issue. Communication with the leasing office is nearly impossible. My friend and I actually joke about betting $300 if they ever reply to an email -- that's how rare it is. The parking gate breaks down every few months, and the street noise is by far the worst I've ever experienced. Soundproofing is basically nonexistent. They also advertise promotions during the lease signing -- be very careful and double-check your bill every month. There were times the promotions weren't applied, and I had to go back and forth to fix it. After submitting my move-out notice and even visiting the leasing office three times, I still got charged rent for the following month. I'm not even surprised anymore after reading all the reviews about how Rebecca never replies. I also saw many reviews regarding security deposit issues -- and honestly, I'm already mentally preparing for that headache. Every bad review you see here? I relate to almost all of them.
