Apparently, you can only do one review and I wanted to let you know that the gentleman Fernandez…read morewas top-notch. He went above and beyond helping us. He was nice and courteous kept asking if we needed any more help and he was just amazing. I give him five stars! However, the facility gets zero stars; read my experience below On 6/18 I had an appointment to straighten out my Social Security card. It basically took me two days of calling to get this appointment .Once I got there, the guards were extremely rude asked me over and over again if I had an appointment. They asked me what the appointment was for they said well, we can't help you and we don't know why you're here. They wanted me out of there ASAP! I began to tell them that I spoke to someone on the phone and they were the ones who gave me the appointment for today! Anybody knows that you can't walk into the Social Security office and you have to make an appointment! I don't know why they think they're above the law. They're just rude. And they need to get over it. I would give this place a zero star, but that's not a choice. It wasn't until I got to the back and spoke to someone and he made me feel better. I'll give him a separate review, but for right now this place is getting a zero star Update: apparently I can't do two reviews, but Fernandez was amazing. He was so nice.

I called the main Social Security phone number and was told that the earliest appointment for us…read morewas late January 2026, but that we could drop off paperwork to the physical office. We stopped in last week and the office wasn't as busy as we remembered during prior visits. The guard told us that we could drop off our packet in the box and they'd get to it sometime in the future. It's disappointing that we can't walk in and wait to meet with a live person anymore. Street parking was readily available in front of the office.

As a long-standing member and active participant in BCHD's group exercise program, I am so grateful…read morefor the available classes that help keep my body fit and mind sound. Its been a literal life-saver for my wife and I. Recently, our superb Wednesday Restorative Yoga instruction (Lisa L.) went on a month-long sabbatical. Yoga instructor Carrie B. covered the class, and she's the reason why I am on Yelp today--to give her a shout-out for providing seamless instruction--but incorporating her own personal style, focus, and practice. There is a great deal of truth to the inference of the title of this class, and both Lisa and Carrie provide that restoration with expertise and experience. After each class, I am more limber, flexible, and relaxed. So thankful for you, as well as the entire staff at BCHD. Please keep up the good work. Steve F. greeniearts.com

The way they operate is so backwards and they're just a bunch of Nazis. They just talk over you and had to have no disregard to you going out to bust your butt every day at work to pay their stupid little tickets that they get a kick out of giving you it's pathetic.

Then, I was told to go to the annex building for assistance which I did and no one was there to assist me. I went a 2nd time and the window was closed, again. In addition, RB uses an outside agency to process payment which removes the city/city staff from having to answer to the public and their concerns.

Argumentative, combative, made me feel guilty for asking. Can I do it this way? Can I do it that way? She may know all the rules, regulations, and requirements.

Here in Redondo Beach, the benfit of being somewhat suburban away from the big city of Los Angeles, and also being part of a laid back quaint beach city town is that the disposition of the citizens / residents as well as the employees creates a very pleasant environment. There's rarely a line and the staff are proactively friendly and helpful, with assistance and advice above and beyond the call of duty. It's what I love about living in the South Bay. Very competent and knowledgeable staff who will go out of their way to help you with patience, hand holding and a very caring, compassionate and polite white-glove treatment. The City Hall is located near the beach and has easy access to parking as well as having their own underground covered / shaded parking lot that's FREE too.

It only took a minute or two for the FD and police to arrive. The FD was able to get her out after securing the vehicle with cribbing then the paramedics got her on a stretcher and took her to the hospital and then most likely to jail. The fire department here is great all of them are also trained paramedics and it is nice to have help when needed even if you don't want it. Congratulations to Captain Rick Martinez for receiving the 2008 Medal of Valor Award in Sustained Superiority. He was one of 12 honored in the South Bay and the only fire personnel honored.

She was nice, attentive, and efficient in her service. I wrote a check which went to the Dept. of State, and the service fee for the post office I was able to pay with card. This is one of the better USPS stations that I've been to. And I'm not just saying that because it's my hometown. They are efficient and professional in their service.
