The Howard Apartments, Glendale CA

Used to be a great place to live but wish the staff and residence clean up their own trash instead of leaving it near dumpers that turn into a flea market scavenger hunt. There were months where construction trash was outside on the sidewalk waiting for pickup. They blame the city but only our building management leaves out dishwashers or other appliances at the end of the block.

The walls and ceilings are paper thin, you can hear all the noises throughout the courtyard. It's been non stop contruction of fixing roofs, new remodels and other project that made the community look worse like the dirty flooring throughout.

Cleaning has been another area of weakness that every hallway and elevator smells of piss from dogs and leaky trash hauled from apartments. There is constant noise from helicopters and freeway where the whole building shakes. The gym and shared restrooms get completely ignored, flooded and not supplied with toilet paper. Never move above the gym unless you want every wall to shake and not get any quality sleep. There is graffiti around the corner which the Howard refuses to fix and blames the city.

Elevators are constantly broke at least a few times a month making it difficult for folks. They do not offer any solutions. First floor apartments get flooded after heavy rain and impossible to pick up mail without wearing boots. I seen units get water inside their units. The apartment above me flooded my unit twice from clogged drains.

Police get called often here for disputes and shouting matches from drunk idiotic neighbors. I called a few times for domestic violence issues.

Loud music and pool parties is another new trend that has started here almost every weekend. We see dozen guests showing up in the small courtyard and everyone hears it down the hallways. I feel bad for the neighbors I talked to who live there.

The neighborhood is not safe if you walk your pets, there are packs of coyotes that roam the area and many people and dogs have been threatened. City does not do anything about them till someone gets bit. Past years their was a den across the street. Do not take your dog out in the nighttime when it's dark or carry a stick. It's only a matter of time before you meet the 3 coyotes that terrorize the neighborhood.

The descent neighbors are all scrambling to move out. It's all going downhill. STAY AWAY!

Do not rent here. Management is horrible and not attentive. They have a huge insect issue too and don’t seem to care about it. I’ve learned that Decron is just a horrible company all around. Stay away!

I have been a tenant here for quite a few years and I love living here.
Especially because of our leasing agent Diego. While people have come and gone in the leasing office, Diego has been here and a rock for me. He is the main reason I have continued to live here for as long as I have. This man always goes above and beyond more than anyone that I have seen working here. He makes me feel like a part of the family, and not like a stranger who lives in an apartment complex and is isolated. No task is ever too big for Diego, and he always gets things done promptly and efficiently.
I currently injured myself, and cannot walk, and he has been of so much help. I cannot thank him enough.
