Flooding at 14322 Prime Valerio Van Nuys, CA 91405
I live at 14322 Valerio
Street (Prime Valerio) in Van Nuys, CA. This property is managed by So Cal
Property Management (http://www.socalpm.com).
They manage a number of properties including: Canoga Plaza Apts., Woodley
Villas Apts., Woodley Apts., Eastwood Apts., Greenwood Apts., Roscoe-Kester
Apts., Roscoe-Noble Apts., Simpson Avenue Apts., Park Fulton Apts., Otsego
Villa Apts., Whitsett Village, Hazeltine Harbor, Granada Garden Apartments.
The drainage system for and near my unit is completely inadequate.
Consequently, my apartment has flooded 3 times this year. I have complained
numerous times both in person and in writing. The manager and the owner
refuse to do anything about the flooding. There are other tenants in my
building that have experienced problems far worse than my own; leaky sinks,
repairs not being made, MOLD etc. Additionally, I believe that my unit was
illegally converted from a rec room into an apartment and the city is
currently investigating the building. Additionally, the previous on-site
managers were abruptly fired December 2004 due to corruption. Personally,
under any circumstances, I would avoid renting ANY apartments managed by
this company. I’d rather be homeless than rent from So Cal Property
Management (general@socalpm.com ).
If you or anyone you know live at Prime Valerio and you wish to make a
complaint with they city, please contact Inspector David Barron
818.756.1411. He is a very nice man and he will come and inspect
your unit. If you live at any other So Cal property and you wish to make a
complaint (it can be an anonymous complaint), please call the Los Angeles
Housing Department at (866) 557-RENT or send an e-mail to the Code
Enforcement Unit (CEUemail@lahd.ci.la.ca.us). Additionally, you can file a
complaint online (http://www.ci.la.ca.us/lahd/).
You can also file a complaint with the Los Angeles Fair Housing department.
