Empress Louise

We were looking for a place and looked at units in this building. The manager (Ken) is an unintelligent, sleezy, unpleasant, hostile redneck, who won’t even let you ask questions. The property is ancient. Unkempt. Stay away.

Unfortunately, the owner is a very mean old lady. I was the manager here and she told me «not to do them any favors,» referring to the Armenians in her building, among many other discriminatory comments and behaviors.
She is around the building every day, so there is no avoiding her. She argues with the tenants and treats them with appalling disrespect.
The building is not well maintained at all. She cuts corners with repairs to such an extent that it usually is only a very poorly applied band-​aid. For example, the courtyard area leaks into the garage and onto tenants cars, damaging their paint jobs. It has been like this for years and needs to be sealed to stop the leaking. Her method is to lay plastic tarps with tape all over everything when it’s going to rain. It looks like a morgue.
Do yourself a favor and wait until it’s under new ownership before you consider renting here.
It’s a pity, because most of the other tenants are wonderful people and these are very large units with central air and heat (complete with problems that she won’t fix).
