More citations in common areas and a unit by Public Health on June 17, 2025.  Keep photographing the large garage leaks that the onsite staff never explain to us. 

Housing will write as soon as they have a GM Hearing date. They claim it's in the "review" stage.

The hall floors are simply disgusting. Check out the latest photos.  And why is there no handle on the 3rd floor trash chute?  This is insane.  Notice all the dead planters that are not well maintained while we pay common area water, which we of course "agreed to" says Jade.  As though one can bargain to NOT pay for water when moving in.  Rumor has it that the property is being sold in 2026...YIPPIE, but who the hell is going to buy this dump?  

Check out the new photos from  June 2025. Will Legacy EVER get it together?  No.   And read up on the latest lawsuit against them for failing to cure. 

HUGE!!!

FINALLY, after all these years, HOUSING has taken steps to send the property for a GM Hearing:

There should be posted signs because ALL tenants can attend.  Look out for Notices before staff tear them down. Had Legacy and LaSalle not lied to Housing they would have been here years ago.  Why was there no inspection between 2017 and 2024? As though they did not know that they weren't paying SCEP fees to the City all these years. 

May 13, 2025:

"SCEP inspection performed on 7/15/2024 and after the 5th re-inspection on 4/30/2025, there are remaining violations. The remaining violations which

were cited on the initial inspection are some Fire Doors not self-closing and self-latching, some trash chutes inoperable, and for failure by management to notify the tenants of the remaining units of the re-inspection. In spite of what the Property Manager Oscar Leon stated that they had not received the latest NTC from housing, Mr. Oscar have on hand the Notice of Re-inspection for this case for 4/30/2025 and the original NTC. In view of these reasons, l am forwarding the case to GM hearing."

They literally failed to notice residents in need of repairs to include proper AC [has little to no air coming out] that housing was coming back to inspect.  SICK!!! They are so vile and vindictive and inhumane.  

They MUST leave our property.  No one should have to deal with such an evil landlord while paying them thousands every month.  This is not a war zone this is our HOME.

Looks like even housing does not believe Oscar who actually had the gall to also tell them that, "Robyn went to another property."  

She went to another COMPANY.

"A General Manager’s Hearing is an administrative hearing that affords landlords, tenants and interested parties a right to due process by providing them with a venue to grieve their cases and find resolution to conflicts. The hearings are conducted by Hearing Officers designated by LAHD’s General Manager."

There will likely be fines and a report that will come from the hearing and HOPING that the property then goes into REAP [explained below].  There is NO excuse for what Legacy did to our property and for maintaining such incompetent vendors. Shame on LaSalle and Kyle Dupree for knowing and permitting it all. 

Generally, these procedures are followed:

1. For all those who are going to testify, an oath will be administered so that those testifying affirm that their testimony is the truth. If foreign language translation is required, an oath will also be administered to the translator so that the translator affirms that he or she will faithfully and accurately translate the proceedings.
2. The Department representative will present a brief background report for the case.
3. The appellant (or applicant) may submit relevant evidence to the Hearing Officer or AB, as the case may be.
4. Following this, the Hearing Officer/AB will hear any relevant opposing testimony and/or relevant testimony from any interested third parties.
5. Those testifying will have a reasonable opportunity to present their testimony, and there will be the opportunity for meaningful opposing testimony.
6. If there are speakers whose testimony is essentially the same, it is requested that testimony not be duplicated and that, to the extent possible, a representative be chosen to provide the testimony for the group. Repetitive statements will be limited.
7. All comments, testimony, and questions will be addressed to the Hearing Officer/AB, and there will be no discussion among the parties during the course of the hearing.

All photos here will be evidence at the hearing.  You are ALL welcomed to attend.  Legacy and their staff think they are untouchable and they WILL answer for all the leaks and DAILY code violations, disgusting trash odors from their broken chutes,  while unlawfully demanding rent from everyone of us.  SAVE YOUR MONTHLY STATEMENTS AND RENT CHECKS. 

They have been in violation of section 1941.1 since late 2018.   Based on failing to cure the citations from July 2024 and the DAILY leaks they have no right to legally demand rent from tenants, per section 1942.4. Meaning they are likely going to have issues with their illegal evictions over rent due, and have to reimburse all residents a LOT of money. Not only can housing demand rent credits but any lawyer can get your rent back. 

Properties are placed into REAP in accordance with LAMC Section 162.00 and RAC Regulations Section 1200.00.

When the Department has cited health and safety and Housing Code violations on a rental property, and those violations have not been corrected in the time allowed, it may refer the property for inclusion into REAP.

When a property is accepted into REAP, the landlord has the right to contest that acceptance at a General Manager’s Hearing (LAMC 162.06), which is scheduled to determine whether or not to uphold the Department’s decision to accept the property into REAP. This General Manager’s Hearing decision can be appealed to the Rent Adjustment Commission’s Appeals Board.  If the acceptance of a property into REAP is appealed, the decision to accept the property into REAP is stayed pending the outcome of the appeal and you will not be able to pay your rent into the escrow account until the decision becomes final.

Once the decision to put the property into REAP is final, the Department records a notice on the title that the property has been placed into REAP, and the Department opens an escrow account into which you can pay your reduced rent. You will be sent instructions for how to pay your rent into the escrow account if your unit was accepted into REAP.

POOL [Public Health Violations]:  

So...first, as we all expected the REAL reason for the "pool renovation" was the cracked tiles in the pool. Many stated they were "black."

Thomas Bogner (December 31, 2024):

Pool plaster deterioration.  No suction vacuum release. No warm water by showers.  No soap. Back flow protection.  Spa safety.  Water leak  from "Rheem" water/pool heating unit in downstairs pool equipment room.  On January 11, 2025: Christelle Medard who is going to be sued in the upcoming weeks: We are excited to announce that our pool will be undergoing renovations to enhance your experience! The pool will be closed starting January 13, 2025, and will remain closed for approximately 8 weeks while we complete these improvements. LOL

By "enhance" she likely meant you have been swimming in unsafe conditions for YEARS and we are now going to make sure the pool area is safe and code compliant. Only AFTER tenant signs went up around the property did Legacy and Kyle Dupree comply with code, March 24, 2025.  She says the pool was "refreshed."  [Citations attached.]

Imagine deceiving us almost daily as part of your job and Mila will answer for taking down housing signs as well.  These vindictive beings will NOT stop us nor will their shady lawyers who motivate us daily.  Read 

SCEP page to know what Eli Gordon did from Kimball Tirey, the law firm listed on the bottom of your leases. He has a bruised ego because he lost an anti-SLAPP motion to a self represented woman.

--------

Don't expect the staff on property, who won't even tell YOU the REAL owner's names, to tell Housing or Public Health their true names...hence all citations are in the 2023 terminated entity, LPF Triana, Inc., name.  Some even have Tom Gibbon's name on them when he bailed from Legacy back in 2020. They could have cured the drain pipes and sprinkler system YEARS ago and for unknown reasons refuse.  Likely to keep the money in the hands of LaSalle and their investors.  Why won't they clean the halls once and for all and grind the putrid stains out?  Because they want to keep all the money we pay in rent in their pockets instead of appeasing the tenants while pretending to care about esthetics. They are to blame for the hall floors because they cut porters when they took over in 2018 and failed to use the property washer every month and now we have to endure the disgust year-after-year. Using water from the 2nd floor waterfall will NOT do the job. They paid a million for new equipment in the gym back in 2020 to sucker prospects in, but won't pay $150,000.00 for the DISGUSTING hall and stair floors. Perhaps selfish dog owners [who malign female tenants ALL day] could stop contributing. And maybe someone at Legacy can walk the property not "make believe" security and CLEAN all new stains created by their vendors and refusal to deep clean every day.  

May 2025: 

"I conducted an investigation into the issue of sewage leaking from the ceiling in garage on to the ground.  I confirmed that there is an active sewage leak, at the time of the investigation.  I informed the property manager of the issue and our office will return tomorrow for a re-inspection to ensure the leak has been fixed.  Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention." - Public Health to Resident
