Hollywood Station Condominiums

DO NOT RENT AN APARTMENT AT HOLLYWOOD STATION!:
1. Landlords are going to strip you off of your SECURITY DEPOSIT. They will demand you to pay SECURITY DEPOSIT for the ASSOCIATION/Administration at Hollywood Station. They will collect the SECURITY DEPOSIT for the ASSOCIATION/Administration purposes but they will never return it to you or pass it forward to the ASSOCIATION / Administration at Hollywood Station. ASK THAT YOU PAY THE DEPOSIT YOURSELF TO THE ASSOCIATION/ADMINISTRATION AT HOLLYWOOD STATION! Otherwise, in the end of your lease, the ASSOCIATION/ADMINISTRATION will return it to your landlord 's agent (in case they received it) and NOT TO YOU! YOU HAVE CHANCES TO LOOSE YOUR DEPOSIT if you DON'T PAY THE ASSOCIATION/ADMINISTRATION DEPOSIT YOURSELF! THE ADMINISTRATION AT HOLLYWOOD STATION ONLY PAYS BACK THE PERSON/ ENTITY THAT THE INITIAL PAYMENT CAME FROM.

2. There are landlords asking for 4 MONTHS in advance as a SECURITY DEPOSIT: 1st month+ last month+ADMINISTRATION DEPOSIT and + APARTMENT deposit = 4 months. In today's market, more than $10,000.3. Building has NO BBQ AREA.

4. The NOISE OF THE TRAIN (no matter which side of the building is) and the Landlords shady practices are common reasons for having this building with tenants constantly moving out, with more than 15 EMPTY APARTMENTS every months (please see ALL ON ZILLOW). - it's A LOT for this size of a building.

5. They will CONSTANTLY and CONSIDERABLY increase your RENT every time they can.

Be SMART! STAY AWAY FROM THESE APARTMENTS! YOU HAVE MANY OPTIONS NOW AND IS NOT A LANDLORD'S MARKET ANY MORE!

A Warning to Potential Residents:

Unethical Practices, Financial Exploitation, and Upcoming Disruptive Construction. If you value peace, tranquility, and personal freedom, I strongly caution against living here.

My 6-month experience has been marred by authoritarian, inflexible rules that exploit residents rather than protect them.

This condo association operates under what can only be described as a totalitarian regime. Their policies and enforcement are devoid of compassion or reasonable accommodation.

I was slapped with a $300 fine for a minor elevator usage infraction, a clear case of unjust enrichment—taking money unjustly for trivial offenses.

Furthermore, the parking fees are exorbitant, at $16 per night and $7 for a few hours. I couldn't even use my second assigned parking space without paying an additional $100+ in registration fees, epitomizing financial exploitation.

But there's more: they are set to begin a massive construction project on all balconies, involving disruptive jackhammering that's expected to last through 2024.

If you're considering moving in, consult with the condo association directly, as realtors may omit this crucial information.

And if you do lock into a lease, I'd recommend adding a clause that allows you to vacate without penalty should construction begin.

I've experienced this kind of disruption firsthand, and it's akin to torture when trying to work or relax at home. These actions are not just inflexible but downright unethical and morally bankrupt. They exploit residents financially and disregard individual well-being. If you're seeking an ethical, fair, and peaceful living environment, look elsewhere.

Those 5 star reviews are fraudulent, obviously posted by landlords trying to maximize their rental income or sell their condos for maximum profit. Don't be fooled. This place is like a prison.

The walls are paper thin so you can hear your neighbors talking or doing other things. And don't turn up your TV or music too loud because you will get fined for that too. The condo manager actually came to my unit and said I needed to wear headphones in my own home! So much for that brand new surround sound system for my home theater!

There are security cameras all over the first floor and lobby area, but only one one each floor elevator landing and none in the parking garage levels besides the first floor. Theft is a big problem, so don't leave anything valuable in your vehicles.

The front emblem was even stolen off the front of my BMW right in the garage, and they scratched the paint badly too.

It's literally one fiasco after another. The property manager will treat you as though you are under the thumb of the mafia, step out of line and you will pay the price!

The association in this building is absolutely disgusting. Management does not care about you and do not do anything to try to help you in any situation in the building. All they want is your money for everything and will not lift one finger to help you in anyway at all. My car recently got booted in the garage. I’ve been parking in for two years and I had to pay $75 to get the boot removed. If you need any extra key fobs or anything, it will cost you 100+ dollars. This condo and their rules are absolutely outrageous and unfair to the tenants.

Buyer beware. Multi million dollar assessment coming soon they said. Lots of leaks.
