1587 W 35th St, los-angeles-ca

I had another guest try to bath into my room. I had to mace them with my pepper spray. I believe they were trying to rob me. Law enforcement was called and the Police said I was well in my rights to protect myself. I did not press charges because I was not hurt in the incident. The owner of this company still refused to remove the guest although I reported it and Law enforcement confirmed it was illegal what the other guest did to me. I believe the owner may be in financial hardship, hence allowing the aggressive guest to remain.

I’m a current tenant, and my experience with Tripalink has been consistently poor. Despite their usual corporate language about caring for tenants, their actions say the opposite. Tenant Screening & Safety: Before I moved in, I was told a previous tenant would frequently scream, slam doors, and bang on walls in the middle of the night. I don’t know why but it’s clear that Tripalink does no vetting of tenants, raising serious security concerns for everyone else living in their buildings. Just this morning two tenants were screaming at each other in a domestic disturbance that nest very have turned into physical violence. Laundry: There are only two washers and dryers for 16 units. One washer is broken, and both lint traps were removed, making them unusable. No repairs have been made for weeks. Cleaning & Trash: They claim to provide cleaning services, but long gaps (weeks to months) without cleaning are common. Management recently stopped the cleaners from taking out trash, yet provide only one small kitchen bin for 16 units. Now, bags of trash hang from counters for days or weeks. I found a COCKROACH recently, obviously. I immediately brought it to their attention. I assume they've done nothing. Living Conditions: The rooms are so small they’re nearly unlivable. When calculated by square foot, the rent is among the highest in the county. There are 16 units yet the company actually lets multiple people live in each unit. Also, there’s one mailbox for the entire building. HVAC: A single thermostat controls the entire building. This means the heat or air conditioning is set the same at all times for every tenant’s unit and all communal areas. I remember moving in and being woken up in the morning because the heat was on and I was sweating. This was in the Spring. Harassment & Fines: Tenants are routinely fined for petty infractions like doing laundry after “quiet hours”—a ridiculous restriction in a shared building. These are just a few examples. Living here has been miserable. The building is mismanaged, unsanitary, uncomfortable, and absurdly overpriced. Many of their properties are also in unsafe neighborhoods. Final Warning: Avoid Tripalink, at least their coliving buildings but from what I’ve seen I would say they’re an awful company altogether. They’re exploitative, dismissive of tenant concerns, and more focused on profit than livability. Rent anywhere else.
