My experience at this property 349 S La Fayette park pl was extremely disappointing, but the move-out process was by far the worst part primarily due to the conduct of Cornell Sewell property manager. When I provided notice to move out, I was wrongfully accused of owing an additional month of rent, despite following the proper procedures outlined in my lease. Instead of calmly reviewing the documents or resolving the confusion, the Cornell property manager became hostile, confrontational, and raised his voice at me. His inability to manage his temper and speak to a tenant respectfully was completely unprofessional and unacceptable. In addition to this incident, several other issues reflect the property's ongoing mismanagement: 1. Security Deposit Mishandling It took over two months for management to return my security deposit well beyond the legal timeframe. When it finally arrived, I was shorted $600 without proper justification or adequate documentation. Attempts to get clarification were met with delays, dismissiveness, or no response at all. 2. Lack of Professional Communication Emails often went unanswered, information was inconsistent, and management repeatedly failed to provide clear explanations for charges, notices, or policies. Basic communication and accountability were severely lacking. 3. Hostile Conduct From Cornell Sewell the Property Manager Being shouted at by a property manager for asking routine questions about my tenant account is entirely unacceptable. His behavior was aggressive, unprofessional, and created a hostile environment during a process that should have been straightforward Between the unprofessional conduct, the incorrect rent accusation, the mishandled security deposit, and the overall lack of accountability, I cannot recommend this property to anyone. My experience especially with the Cornell was unnecessarily stressful and extremely mishandled at every step. read more

Ive been a tenant here for about 4 months and i love it. I got a jr 1 bedroom which is a perfect size for me. Cheaper than a 1 bedroom and the sliding door is cool! I read a few bad reviews on this place regarding management and roaches but honestly, i have not had a problem thus far and im the pickiest tenant. I saw one roach in alley by the parking garage and that's so normal for LA. Wherever you live, roaches are everywhere, just keep your place tidy. Simple. The heart of Dtla is worse even the nice skyline complexes. Roaches everywhere even by the pool in those places- ive seen them myself! My friend lives in one of those super nice complexes. LP is such a steal because it's affordable, modern with new appliances, and the neighborhood is residential with wide streets and grass for pets! I would totally renew my lease and live here again. As far as management, the manager Tanya does have a strong personality at first if you approach her wrong; however she is very understanding and sweet. Talk how you want to be talked to. Give her a chance, shes great! Oh i love Francisco the maintenance guy. Hes so nice and always says hi when passing by. As far as noise, yes you can hear people at times but thats with all apartments lol if you want to hear nothing, go pay $2400+ a month on rent at some newly built overpriced complex. But im sure you'll still hear your neighbors. -apt 304 read more

I lived here for more than a year, left my unit in incredible condition. I moved out a few months ago and I'm still waiting for the return of my security deposit. The property management company keeps telling me the cheque is in the mail but it's been 3 months now and I still haven't received it. The accounting department won't email me back with proof that the cheque has been issued and property manager won't answer phone calls. read more

DON'T DO IT, PEOPLE. The roach problem is SERIOUS. I moved in Sept 2020 and moved right back out by Nov. They had pest control treat my first-floor unit FIVE TIMES and it was still a huge problem. They were in the kitchen, bathroom, living room, AND MY BEDROOM. I woke up one night and there was one IN MY BED! I stayed with my boyfriend for WEEKS at a time while they "treated" the unit and still didn't get my full deposit back. Tanya De Leon on the management team acted helpful and sympathetic at first but once I said I wanted to move because of the roaches, she turned sour. Despite her admitting in person and via email that the roaches were living in the trash chute (that my unit shared a wall with), she fixed her lips to imply that brought the roaches - despite my GLOWING review from my previous landlord where, you guessed it, I DIDN'T HAVE ROACHES. Tanya also screwed up my down payment when I first moved in and told me the wrong amount to wire to CLG TWICE. The woman is a mess. They also swindle you in the lease - for whatever reason, if you move out before living there for two years, they will charge you $450 for paint! I was barely in the unit because of the roaches and still had to shell out $450 for that. These people are crooks. The only person worth their salt is the maintenance man, Francisco. The attached photos were all taken in different areas of the unit. These are just FOUR of the dozens of photo and video evidence I have of their pest problem. If you want to live like this, then unit 114 at the LP by CLG is the unit for you! read more

Welp. This is my first negative review online. Unfortunately, LP by CLG was bad enough for me to waste my time and write it. The apartments themselves are beautiful, however, that is where anything pleasant about this property stops. The walls are less than paper thin, so you hear everything. Our windows and walls would shake from the people upstairs just walking back and forth in their unit. It was like living through an earthquake every week. We had roughly three months left in our lease when we finally couldn't deal with it anymore and the property manager said we could move units at our own expense. No thanks. Our check was lost and the property manager insinuated we never paid, by saying "I've never lost a check"... Well spoiler alert, she found the check... We got charged random late fees and eviction notices from system malfunctions (they were reversed). The tone and responses from the management team are unnecessary and disrespectful on a good day. We asked for a pre-move out inspection, and they refused to do one. At move out you get charged for paint and carpet cleaning automatically, without them evening viewing the apartment. We threw a fit and got the paint charge removed due to the fact they had just painted before we moved in, however, they hide behind "returning the unit to it's original condition" so they can charge their tenants for the upkeep of the property. They spray for roaches, but it doesn't work. We had three in the unit over the course of our yearlong lease and countless in the hallways and garage. Beware of the elevator. It slams into you if you don't move at flash speed. Document and take video every time you get in because it legit slams. I've gotten many bruises. During the leasing process the property manager told the VP of HR and the Controller of the company that I worked for that they were paying me too much based on the pay periods. If that was true (which is wasn't): A. It's none of their business B. Clearly, I qualified, so let it go Elsa. We should of ran for the hills then, but the fantastic units sucked us in. We assumed the negative reviews were just angry people. Well I get it now; lack of sleep will do that to you. The reviews are deserved. Don't do it. You'll hate life for the entire time you are here. The block is filled with gorgeous properties take a walk and go view the other properties on the street instead. read more

I moved here a little over a month ago. I love living at the LP, the staff is all so friendly, and the building is maintained very well. When you make maintance requests they are handled immediately, which is a huge deal. This apartment is like 4-5 miles from Hollywood, and basically 10-20 min from anything super "LA" that you would want to do. The street is super safe and the whole neighborhood is super doggy friendly, which is important to me. There is a Ralph's and a Vons less than a mile away, a Whole Foods 2 miles away, a mini target around the corner, and a bigger target about 2 miles away. I just love living here and i think the building is a in a great location. read more

I've lived lived in this complex for several years now and here are the pro's I see! - really nice and clean street in the middle of LA, wide streets which are rare. - walkable to markets and the subway and parks. Target and Starbucks as well. - units are renovated really cute with in unit washer dryer/ac system and balconies/patios. - building is maintained well, I always see it being cleaned, landscaping is lovely and staff is very friendly! - small gym that hits your basic needs and is rarely ever full so you'll be able to get in a machine or two with ease. -nice sized pool at entrance that is always clean, gets good sun and has seating and bbq set up that is welcome to all tenants. -management holds food and drink events when possible and it's a nice chance to meet you tenants. All of LA is expensive, happy to say here the balance of what you pay for, apartment design and amenities are great here. read more

I lived here for a year and hopefully this review will help you decide on the next place you live. I wish I knew some of these things before I committed to a year lease here! - The people who work here were great. Tanya is the property manager and she was always friendly and open to listening about problems or complaints. However, there isn't much she can do, right? She's not the owner of the building and she is doing her best to keep the peace. Francisco the maintenance guy was really great too. Friendly and helpful. It was easy to get things fixed in a timely manner. - I thought the appliances and features of the apartment were good. We never had any issues with our appliances and felt the space was done well. - The neighborhood had lots of great space to walk our dog. Big grass areas. But be careful of dog poop! Nobody picks up after their dogs. Pretty gross. - Lots of great bars and restaurants in the area. Quick uber to downtown/Silver Lake/Echo Park. It was very accessible to all the LA life and the freeway. Target and Smart and Final are walkable from the apartment. Here are the main reasons we decided to move after a year.... - The dogs and bad dog owners! The Yelp reviews are not lying when they compare the complex to an animal shelter. There were unruly dogs barking ALL NIGHT. This wasn't just a few nights, I can confidently say that the constant dog barking occurred at least 4 nights a week. We complained a couple times, but again...what can they do? It seems like people leave their dogs at home with the sliding doors open while they are not home. The dogs seem stressed and we felt bad. But we feel worse the next morning running on no sleep. - The exit alarm beeping. In the hallways, almost every very other day...it sounded like the exit doors were left open? Or the battery was dying? Or someones fire alarm was going off? We checked several times in the middle of the night to fix this ourselves because it was unbearable. No success. We put in tickets...it was never fixed. Until the day we moved out....every other day was that constant beeping of the exit doors in the hallway. - Cigarette butts. We had a 1st floor patio and constantly found cigarette butts on our patio. We got 2 burn holes in our patio furniture because of people tossing their butts off their balconies. - The back alley to the parking lot. You get home from work every day and have to go off roading through a pot hole filled alley to park your car. Good luck avoiding nails and glass...There are also a lot of homeless people who live back there, so you need to drive around their tents as well. - We lived there for only a year and had quite a few days without water due to construction. They'd give you a notice, but it felt like a lot more than any other complex i've lived in. - The construction! Wow. This was wild. I totally understand that all the units need to get remodeled. However, this was constant. If it wasn't the unit directly next to us, it was another down the hall. - Guest parking. Don't even bother inviting anyone over. They won't find parking haha. They give you 1 spot which is nice, but it's impossible to have 2 cars in the area with street parking. Overall, I thought it was an OK place to live. It was on us to choose an apartment complex and you should know that any 100+ unit complex is going to come with noise. I just didn't expect it to be that bad! When we looked at the cost of our apartment against the living conditions, we didn't find it worth it to renew our lease again. You can find better in the same price range. Best of luck in your apartment search and I hope this helps your decision! read more

Lived here for almost 2 years now.. Well kept building, great maintenance, Very Clean and spacious units!!! Pool and gym are a perfect touch to this relaxed and great environment and neighbors. Definitely recommend ! read more

I moved across the country from WV to Los Angeles, CA and arrived in the city two days before the COVID-19 "stay at home" order was put into place. I did not have a lot of time to search for an apartment and after viewing the LP by CLG first before seeing 6 others in a two day span, I knew at the end of the day that this was the complex I wanted to go with. Tanya, the property manager, is a DOLL to work with! She is always professional, kind and most importantly *helpful* whenever I reach out to her. I also have nothing but good things to say about the maintenance team, super sweet individuals who are always staying on top of things at the complex! The location has been incredibly convenient for me in regards to traveling to work, finding places to eat, convenience stores, grocery stores, etc. The appliances and features of these apartments are really what won me over- BRAND spankin' new and well functioning. Anything I've ever had an issue with, maintenance has taken care of IMMEDIATELY! I have a washer and dryer IN UNIT, a dishwasher, and garbage disposal... total game changer people!!!! Definitely can't forgot the pool, community grill, and gym on site! Also, I pay an extra $50 a month for garage parking- SUPER worth it. My ONLY complaint are the thin walls BUT thankfully, everyone in the complex has been super respectful thus far. No loud music, minimal barking dogs (only hear them in the day time), and respectful and courteous tenants all around. Overall, I have really enjoyed my experience at the LP by CLG and sincerely recommend this complex to anyone looking for a new spot in Koreatown :) read more

I am so happy living here for the last year and a half. Here is the gist of it: - Maintenance orders are dealt with soo quickly. Even when I submit a low priority one, Francisco deals with it right away. - Tanya is great at keeping us posted with everything happening in the building. - The neighborhood is safe and very family- environment like. My friends in WeHo deal with way more crime. I walk my dog 4x a day and haven't felt unsafe. - The gym is pretty basic, but clean and big enough for multiple people to workout in. - Not a huge roach problem, pest control comes immediately and they go away. - Pet friendly building! Dogs convene and play every evening outside. I would be happy to continue living here!! I consider myself very lucky to have found a peaceful home in this crazy city. read more

I lived in the LP for a couple of years and recently moved out since my living needs changed. I am giving this 5 stars because of the team. Tanya, Francisco, and the lady who cleans (I forgot her name) truly do their best in managing this place. Every problem I had was mitigated in within 48 to 72 hours. Parking is tough (but it is Ktown, one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in LA). I'm a social guy, so friends would have to uber over or be forced to look for 20 to 30 minutes for a spot. As for the building, it appears CLG bought a building that was never maintained by the previous owner. There were many water shut offs as others had mentioned, but these were due to repairs. I left with the feeling that they were pouring a lot of money into repairs (which is good). The elevators are old, and worked most of the time. I had no issue with pests as others had mentioned but I was on the 3rd floor. I did have several issues with appliances but Francisco managed to get them repaired or replaced in a reasonable amount of time. My only two complaints were that there is occasionally an issue with hot water and issues with tenants breaking rules. Sometimes during the year it is fine and at other times, it takes a considerable amount of time (20 mins) for the water to get hot. When it comes to some of the tenants, the lady below me would smoke on her balcony a lot. I would report it, it would stop, and then start again later. Also some tenants would have their guests park in my spot and I could not have them towed as only the apartment management can have people towed. I consider the LP a good value. My previous apartment was $1000/mo more, it was smaller, and I had assholes, who would wrestle, live above me. I would have continued living at the LP for another two years had my needs not changed. What makes this place is the price, the staff, and the size of the apartment. The tradeoffs are the pothole-filled alley and the occasional defiant tenant. read more

Wish I could give them a zero star rating. June 2017 - June 2018 . My car was damaged because something was leaking from their parking lot ceiling. Since LP By CLG only gave me $100 I needed to do get my car detailed with $100 + my own money . Packages get stolen. . Someone broke into my car and they don't have a single surveillance camera in the garage. . Noises from dogs, barking and whimpering all hours of the night. . There's a human-biting dog and a clueless dog owner in this building but LP by CLG doesn't care. . Roaches & Waterbugs. They are everywhere. . Residents are singing, dancing and running with their dogs in the hallway at 3 AM. I couldn't wait to move out and I'm so glad I did. LOOK ELSEWHERE. read more

As previous reviews have stated (that somehow have disappeared from this site...), avoid this place at all cost. Like most "luxury" apartments in the area, this is a complete lie. Slapping a fresh coat of paint, adding new appliances, using real estate buzzwords, and posting attractive photos of young millennials can only do so much. I won't mention any names, but don't be fooled by the "friendly" managers that work there. At the end of the day, they're not out to please you and only care about their bottom line. The building itself has very thin walls and floors (they'll tell you that they were soundproofed during the renovations, BS) and you'll hear your neighbors' TV, music, yappy little dogs (that some owners let pee in the hallway?!), and full-on conversations on a daily basis. The courtyard only worsens things as the noise reverberates through the whole building, and you'll often hear noise from a unit that is on the opposite end of the building. They're in the process of buying out old tenants so they can renovate all the units, so be prepared for daily (6 times a week) construction noise, dust, and various other disturbances that come it (cockroaches anyone?) The power regularly cuts out at different times of the day, for up to 20 minutes. The water is often turned off for maintenance, for several hours with less than a day's notice. The notices are pasted on your door (not emailed, like you'd expect a luxury building to do), so if you happen to stay home all day one day, you'll never find out. You'll only get one parking spot (There are a few open ones in the lot, but don't even bother asking for an extra spot), and finding street parking after 2-3PM is a daily battle, good luck if you work late and have no one to save you a spot. There have also been break-ins into the car garage, which is probably due to the extremely dingy back alley where I've noticed several drug deals take place. Speaking of the alley, it's one of the most treacherous roads I've ever driven on, there are many potholes, broken glass, and many other cars that use this (including garbage trucks), so there is a high likelihood that you may be stuck behind a long line of cars, or get a flat tire (true story). I don't recommend getting any kind of delivery sent there (besides food), as the intercom system doesn't really work, and the front gate is never open, so be prepared to get a lot of UPS/Fed Ex notices on the door. To top it all off, some packages have been stolen lately. If for some crazy reason you do decide to move in, DOCUMENT EVERYTHING via video. It seems like it's the only way they'll believe you (speaking from experience). I'll end with one positive note, the maintenance team is great and very timely with requests. read more

LP BY CLG will quickly become your worst nightmare. Don't be fooled by the newly renovated units. Management seems super nice and helpful when showing vacant units, and will flip a switch once you sign the lease. I wish I could give this complex zero stars because that is what it deserves. If you love living in constant noise this place is perfect for you! A majority of the tenants portray obnoxious and immature behavior. This complex is far worse than a college dormitory or fraternity house. There is constant noise coming from people blasting music/ playing instruments, parties, dogs barking, and construction (the list goes on). When I say constant, it's 24/7, it's just not livable. The walls and floors are paper thin to point you can hear full on conversations from people living next to you, below you, and above you. So, you can image how loud it is when people blast music, it sounds like a nightclub in your unit. The base shakes your windows and walls. Good luck getting any kind of rest or sleep. You will become mentally and physically drained from living here. Be aware that there is construction 6 days out of 7 days a week. They start super early in the morning around 7am and finish around 6 pm give or take. Power tools/ hammering noise, and breathing-in saw dust becomes your new normal. Construction workers also leave the doors open to units they are working on, which makes all the dust travel under your door into your unit. They also blast music while they work, which lasts for hours. They do not take into consideration that people are sleeping or trying to work in peace. Good luck finding street parking since you are only given one parking space with no option to rent a second one. If you get home past 2/3 pm you will be waiting in the middle divider alongside everyone else who lives on this block, fighting for the next parking spot. There is always something wrong at this complex... whether management decides to turn the water off completely, no hot water, broken elevators, cockroaches roaming your unit and the hallways, management's poor attitude, someone in your assigned parking spot, someone breaking into the parking structure, and the wild party throwing music blasting neighbors. Welcome home, you will be tormented. Be sure to check out all the photos I upload of notices they send out... icing on the cake. The only good thing about this apartment is Francisco, he's amazing and takes care of repairs very fast, and is professional. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about LP. I moved in September, 2019 and it's been good. I was assisted by Tanya, the property manager and she is always professional and kind. I live on the 2nd floor and my balcony overlooks the alley in back. It's quiet, my neighbors are pleasant and other residents are respectful of one another. Any issues are addressed promplty. Maintenance and cleaning staff are so kind. They always have a smile on their face and they even know my dog's name always greeting us when we see them. We as residents are notified of any changes and building updates that may affect us with enough notice to prepare for such interruptions in daily living. I look forward to many more years here. Thank you LP. read more

I've lived in this complex for over a year. First of all no place is perfect and, anyone who walks into any apartment with that expectation is setting themselves up for disappointment. Most apartments in the LA area are small and offer minimal amenities for a substantial amount of money OR they're small, offer tons of brand new amenities and then ask you to pay almost two times above the average in rent. This location is a nice balance. New units come remodeled and include amenities such as: in unit washer/dryer, air conditioning in the living room and bedroom, walk in closets, hardwood floor in the common area and carpet in the bedrooms, brand new appliances, fixtures and finishes. Parking is included as well and because it's KTown, you need parking. The square footage is much better than most apartments in LA. The management team is constantly cleaning and doing their part to maintain the property. If there are issues in your unit, you simply open a ticket, indicate the priority, which then dictates how fast it's taken care of. Lastly, the community here is friendly and people are neighborly. Are the walls thin? Yes, the building is from the 70s, and structurally hasn't been renovated. It doesn't bother me that I can hear my neighbors, when I know they aren't being obnoxious and intentional about it. Do dogs bark? Yes, but that depends on what part of the building you live in. I've heard them bark sporadically but not enough for me to complain. Have there been unwanted pests? Yes, but we live in a major city and this property isn't located in Beverly Hills. Translation the city isn't cleaning the streets 24/7. However the property manager has done a fantastic job making sure the property is maintained to the highest possible standard. A survey was sent out, asking for feedback on ways to improve the property and experience with management. At the time I offered my my concerns and since then I have seen noticeable and positive changes. I've found the team to be present and available when I need assistance. The property manager, Tanya, is always open to feedback. If you see something or encounter an issue she welcomes feedback and addresses it. Tanya does a great job of responding to emails as quickly as she can and has accommodated my requests when she's able to. The onsite housekeeping/maintenance staff are friendly, welcoming and almost like family. Overall there is constant email communication about service being done to the building and other need to know information. Considering the cost of the rent at a "brand new" property and what you actually get in return, the LP is a better option for your money. More importantly it's a great community of people, if that's what you value and want to be a part of. Happy Hunting! read more

I want to start by extending my regards to the staff at here at LP by CLG Management. Everyone from: The cleaning staff, the maintenance team, the customer support and the property manager Tanya; have nonetheless developed the building to be a very safe, clean and welcoming environment. Tenants across the building are curtious, respectfull and quiet. This is the type of culture that Tanya has established. Her patience and quick turnaround for our needs has gone above and beyond customer service. Thank you LP, CLG Management and Tanya for your hard work and efforts we greatly appreciate your support. Kind Regards, Flores read more

My wife and I just resigned our year lease because we absolutely love living here! Most of all the apartments (like ours) have been remodeled to have a modern beautiful and tasteful look. The office staff is super kind and helpful. Specifically, Tanya has been great at responding in a respectful and timely manner to any of our questions. She has been friendly and done a great job at making sure that our apartment is a safe as it can be during the COVID-19 pandemic. The maintenance staff is also great! Another thing that we like about living here is how diverse our building is. We're glad to be a part of a space that welcomes people from all backgrounds and walks of life. read more

I finally have time to write this review after living here 6 months ago. I lived in a new apartment there for well over a year - honestly,​ I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. Although the apartments are nice, the management team is terrible, and I was completely SCAMMED with my security deposit when I moved out. Tanya (on-site​ manager) was very difficult to work with and there were so many little rules that I continued​ to break and got letters on my door daily about rules I was breaking for the first 3 weeks I lived there. The letters threatened that I would be evicted if my patio furniture was not up to their standards. Not to mention there are constant dogs barking in the hallways at all hours, dog urine in the hallway from people allowing their pets to go there, homeless people living right outside the place in the alleyway, very difficult to find street parking (and only 1 spot allowed per apartment), and lots of parking garage leaks (one even ruined the paint on my car). read more

Probably the worst leasing office ever. Set up an appointment and never showed up. That's right - I was there in front of the leasing office and they were not there despite the appointment. They have some sort of call center who picks up but could not reach to the person I was supposed to see. Well - I complaint about it via email and no apologies just got a "walk away" message. I was confident to imagine that they treat tenants like garbage based on my experience. read more
