I have been living in Barrington Plaza for over 5 years now and in my currently apartment for 4. I live in the A tower on the 9th floor - the 2 floors above me have been under construction since October of last year after the fire. Every single day - 7 am to about 5 pm sometimes 6 pm - construction noise in the apartment directly above me....for the past 8 months. I complained to the property manager about a couple months ago and had to request for a concession on rent (they should have offered this themselves) which he did fight for me for so I want thankful. The concession is small and not enough to be quite honest (It MAYBE makes up for the HUGE trash chute right smack in the middle of my balcony blocking the view and sun I pay thousands for at most) with what I have to deal with - now construction on Saturdays too stating at 7 am (I wont even talk about them starting at 6 am on memorial day weekend which goes against the regulations in this city!!!). I don't think they understand or care that the walls in this unit are already too thin and now the addition construction noise, absolutely unbearable. The property manager, I don't know if he thinks I am just making a fuss, is ignoring my request to transfer. He tried to tell me weekend quiet hours are until 10 am but again woke up at 7:40 to the construction above me and this has been going on for I don't know how long. Quiet hours DON'T exist so don't try to just appease me by lying to me and when I email back he just ignores me. Additionally, this place now rents out like CRAZY to Zuma housing, which are a bunch of students who have nothing better to do than to party all night every night. I have been calling about some people who party a couple floors above me most nights out of the week on their balcony. I have a job to wake up to. I also take classes and need to study at night. I don't have time to have to make 3 calls a night, by which time its already the early hours of the morning, before they call PD. The apartment just doesn't care because they are students and BP does nothing to enforce regulations other than send courtesy patrol when tenants call to complain. Who has the time and patience to call courtesy patrol all night? By the time I get to sleep around 4 am- guess what - wake up to loud banging and drilling at 7 am! So I am the lucky unit that gets to deal with construction 6 days out of the week and then listen to kids yell and scream and throw all their cigarette butts and red plastic cups all over my balcony in the night. BP is doing nothing for a permanent fix about this. (PLUS I get crap from the construction all over my balcony too which I have to clean once a week) They are trying to make up for some things I think by offering free coffee in the mornings and something about movie nights to everyone, but my case is different and this really does not make up for the lack of peace and quiet that they are subjecting me to for over 8 months which has done nothing but get worse. I wish I could move out but I cannot sign a year lease at this point in my life as its a transitional period for me - so I just have to deal. Additionally, we have had problems with elevators and hot water which for the most part have been fixed probably because of how bad things got here after the fire. Before that, NOTHING was done. Maintenance staff is nice. Walls are thin and windows do not drown on noise from Wilshire especially the loud drunk people walking back from the bars at night. Apartments are old and not upgraded enough to warrant the rent. Apartments near the stairs get to hear banging noises when people walk up and down them. First people would get stuck in elevators for hours, then there was a flood, and then there was a fire. SAFETY much? Anyone looking to move here, l highly recommend you looks somewhere else if you A want to be respected as a tenant and B care about noise control.

with all due respect, this is the worst building, i had a bad 6 month experience with this building and the staff (my opinion) .

Needs a bit of outside work and a bit over priced.
