OWNERSHIP

May 17, 2025:

Still evicting residents in incorrect entity names.  Unfortunately, for most residents, they just run away instead of fighting back. Some have reported that the public record has kept them from obtaining comparable homes.  Dupree has been lying in court records that there was "conversion" to an LLC, but there was no conversion in CA.  Oddly, NONE of the court evictions are under that alleged LLC name.  Additionally, they REFUSE to tell Public Health and Housing who the real owners are so that when the property does go into REAP they will say it, "was under the wrong name." How Deanna O'Brien and licensees for Legacy Partners have not lost her RE license is a mystery.  How Mark Gabbay and Jonathan Kyle Dupree are not in jail - another mystery.  Their time will come. Dupree also thinks it's ok to illegally intercept emails meant for executives in Chicago, back to him. 

February 2025:

Kyle Dupree is worthless.  He is so knee deep in the Legacy incompetence and does not care about their illegal leases. Thinks everything they do is a, "clerical error" so the next step is to write Christian.Ulbrich@jll.com, Mark.Gabbay@lasalle.com and the investors: REIT-Funding (disclosures@reit-funding.com), AON pension (greg.case@aon.com) and Citibank pension.  

These are the main investors in LPF.   They get our rent money so they need to step in and end this once and for all.  

April 6, 2024:

Who owns Triana?  LaSalle Property Fund Reit, Inc., but don't expect Legacy employees who are working here without a valid BTC to tell you.  (LAMC 21.03).

Priority of Legacy is to protect the $250,000 they make a year off the property and to keep their free apartments. And they will do ANYTHING to anyone to protect their jobs even put you in a lease with an entity that terminated in July 2023.  

No matter what they sell you on just know that LPF Triana, Inc.. is a terminated entity since July 2023 and that Legacy Partners Residential, Inc. is NOT the owners and relinquished their name in 2016.  This is all on the Secretary of State website.  

If you are facing eviction from LPF Trina, Inc. or any entity please reach out and we will get you the records you need to fight them.  

In Hart v LaSalle, Jonathan Kyle Dupree's lawyers have been lying for almost one year that LPF Triana, LLC is the owner through "conversion" but there is NO conversion in California and NONE of us are in a lease with this LLC.  They are lying to the courts because they don't want the REAL owners LaSalle Property Fund Reit, Inc. to be exposed to litigation.  This is how unethical these people and companies are.  And this is FRAUD.  Look at the back of your 2023 rent checks and you will see this entity.  

This NEW Conservice billing company is  likely because of all the investigations into RealPage the prior "billing" company.  Why our sewer and water fees went up is likely to make up for the loss in trash profits now that they lowered our inflated trash fees to $22.00 from $40.10.  This is likely because of the current lawsuit against them.  They also have Alico security dumping trash (for free) because that is of course their job so they couldn't justify the $40.10.  They think the lease allows them to do this and not give us proof.  They are mistaken.  Our leases contradicts what we are supposed to pay.  They mark the box that the "landlord" is supposed to pay "common area" water and trash but then a few lines down they contradict this. If a lease is vague or confusing they cannot enforce it. 

Old leases state that they have to bill us utilities 23 days in advance but they are not doing this.

LEGACY IS A MESS!

March 16, 2023:

Still ongoing waste water leaks on P2. Mini pools all over the garage. Broken trash chute doors. Marijuana smells in hall. Electrical issues in our units. False alarms going off now almost every 6 days scaring the hell out of us. At times the hall doors remain closed for 12 hours. Management says nothing. New leasing staff about every 3-6 months. Can't figure out how to get out the permanent stains in our halls that Legacy and LaSalle caused. These 2 companies have NO business being in property management. It's all about the money.  Hang in there at some point LaSalle will have to sell the property and Legacy will be gone. 

September 25 Update: Legacy ignored waste water leak in garage for months. Massive leaks all over the garage.  Dead planters all over the property.  Trash gouging continues. Revolving door of staff continues. Roto Rooter only comes out after resident contacts Public Health.  Richard Carey's office is 13 steps from the leak and did nothing. Mini horns went off for over 5 minutes on September 10, 2022, at 1:00AM.  R&J Janitorial staff still can't keep the property clean but can drive around on golf carts taking photos fo residents. Disgusting furniture still surrounds the property. 

It is now 2022 and nothing has changed.  Monstrous water leaks in the garage, furniture outside the property for weeks, sewer leaks on P2, at least 2 elevators were down over the new year and no matter how many complaints, LaSalle will not get rid of Legacy Partners. No one knows what the porters at this property are doing other than standing around socializing and laughing at residents. The trash rooms wreak, the halls are nasty, the elevator lobby floors are damaged beyond repair and all Legacy does is ask prospects for Yelp reviews. Tip: Do not fall for the "Lease Termination" clause on your lease. You do not have to pay over $5000 to leave, and you do not have to sign your rights away. 

The trash chute doors either stay open all day or you can't open them without injury.  How difficult is it to have a functioning trash chute door? As many have noticed, a lot of the "Exit" doors in the garage are not code compliant. Call Building & Safety because it will take Legacy staff weeks to address it. Everyone here has a story so let's work together. Please email us if you were charged to have your car towed the week of December 14, 2021.  

2021: It is impossible to have lived here for years and not see what Legacy Partners, Inc. and LaSalle Investment have done to this property. Look at the hallway floors. Look at the walls. Look at the garage gates.  Look at the pipes leaking all over the garage for over a year. How many have found themselves stuck in the old elevators? Look at how you are treated by the Legacy leasing staff who are paid by YOUR rent.  For years, the Regional Manager, Steven Sapp, has been hiring staff who simply do not get along with each other and this spills over on to the residents. The angrier they are at work - the nastier they are to residents. Proper background checks are not done on employees and regardless of your history in management, and your skills, you will be promoted to a management position. If you play along and harass residents Legacy sees this as "loyalty" and promotes unethical individuals. Managers come and go. Leasing agents come and go. Legacy can't maintain more than 2 full time employees in maintenance despite there being 370+ units. Residents are mopping the halls because they don't want to drag the filth into their homes. 

Legacy promoted a "spa" for almost one year when it was under construction. It is beyond unethical to lie to prospects on a daily basis. The stains pictured below have been here for 3 years. They recently "power washed" the guest parking (while ignoring tenant parking) this somehow shut all the hallway doors. Legacy staff let the doors remain closed for almost two days while it was 95 degrees outside. Tenants had to walk the property and open the doors because their staff didn't have enough sense to do it themselves.

As pictured below there was a magnet hanging on a garage wall on P2 for weeks. Staff and porters walked by it every day and no one had the sense to repair it - yet they have time to harass and monitor residents.

Did you give permission to RealPage, Inc. to store your Personal Identifiers?  Do you want them removed and stored in a safe location?  Demand that LaSalle & Kyle Dupree remove them. 

Look at the filthy and damaged trash room floors. Only four of the sixteen floors have been replaced. 

How many more times will the piercing alarms sound throughout our units? LPF brings in at least a million dollars in rent a month. 

This is the epitome of corporate greed. Have you paid $75.00 for being one day late with your rent? These fees are unlawful. 

Leasing agents will monitor your every move to score points with their boss. They make crazy accusations against you and make your life hell. They do this to bully you out.  A new resident was told by Anabell, "I'm watching you." How scary is that?  To have your landlord watch your every move. Despite there being over 1000 residents the only employee in the leasing office on Sundays, is Anabell. 

The "new" manager left after one year. On Saturdays there is a temp to join Anabell but she can't access emails or actually help in any way. This is what LaSalle does to their residents while raking in the dough every month. Don't we deserve better? Cars are broken into every month and at best there are 2 patrol officers circling a 300,000 Sq. Ft. property.

Pet urine will become a permanent stain in the halls because no staff will clean the hallways. The outside curb is cleaner than our hallways. Despite the walls being in desperate need of paint - they are now needlessly painting the outside of the property. This should be fun.  If you are expecting your HVAC to work, think again...your unit will most likely be 85 degrees all day, as the air does not circulate evenly throughout your unit. 

Should we pay $3000 a month for this? Why won't LaSalle enforce their own lease? Speak out.  Join our efforts and upcoming protests. 

When your priority is asking for positive Yelp reviews to drown out the REAL reviews, then it is time to go.

Many have terminated their leases...if you too know of anyone who has, please put them in touch with us. 

May 17, 2025:

Another email blast about MORE intrusive alarms coming next week because they couldn't get it right the last time and the time before - with NO rent credits just a pathetic apology from the latest leasing employee. While they KNOW exactly which unit they will enter they wait till the week of to send ONE notice that encompasses one week of dates in violation of section 1954. Very considerate to all of us - and be sure to make time to recover from the expected latest migraine from the deafening noises. 

Disgusting odors in the 5th floor this week due to trash not being picked in the heat because of those selfish residents who don't dump their trash down the chute and NO fines. Legacy KNOWS who they are.  Chutes STILL open, dirty mattresses in the garage and yes, MORE leaks by P1 ramp. Neverending.   

And their exciting May 24th event no one will be attending, is OFF "until further notice" pending completion of the pool, which was supposed to be done in MARCH.  Likely they did not comply with code and failed an inspection being that the water is back in the pool.  Waiting for public records and will report back.  

This building and its staff are a circus of incompetence. 

Despite 3 open citations with housing...David Lucas and R&J Janitorial [in suspension with FTB] walk the property all day tearing down housing signs...against the law.  You likely won't miss Lucas drinking a beverage ON THE JOB as he walks the halls on his cell phone. It is literally a $10,000 penalty and he does it day-after-day. He is being sued in the upcoming weeks and will be surprised if their carrier, Axis, will pay his damages. Who in their right mind would keep tearing down signs after being told the laws over and over?

May 15, 2025 UPDATE:

If you were given a RING camera to monitor ANY resident it is against the law, as is using your own cameras to record any resident communications just to send the videos to Legacy. The lease itself does not permit for RING cameras without written authorization and tenant associations are permitted by law and will continue. The lease also permits for common area notices.  Any interference will be litigated.  New residents don't know the 1/2 of what we ALL have had to endure since Legacy got here in 2018, and what the property used to look like.  There is a reason there are dead planters all over the property.

RECORD ALL FALSE ALARMS.

Let us know if ANY employee is harassing you or trying to intimidate you to leave and if ANY resident is trying to silence you or this movement. If you see maintenance staff walking around with drink cans in their hands try and photograph it. From what we here despite organizing against tenants they don't seem to like each other. David Lucas got the manager job by default and his staff have complained about him to residents.  He was also recently seen aggressively tearing down housing notices and is going to be sued in the near future. According to temps he holds morning meetings bashing residents while our rent pays HIS salary.  This is NOT a high-school this is OUR home.  Employees live here for free and or very little rent.

Many have reported that their COVID rental assistance was delayed due to owners and their agents not giving the W9 and information needed to the City.  This too is a violation under L.A.M.C 45.33.

Housing has 3 open citations involving units and leaks all over the property.  You can also do a public records request for the information. Instead of repairing, David Lucas asked for extensions.  He and Legacy have known since 2022 [likely years earlier] the cause of the leaks: Clogged drain pipes and a broken sprinker system, and on occasion a unit leak caused by the property not being well kept. 

At least 4 units had to vacate their units and or chose to stay in them during ceiling leaks. Black mold appeared to be seen in one of the units. Legacy told us NOTHING. Apparently this has been going on since 2024. One resident reported carpet damage last year and Legacy will not repair. Tenants are told to use their own insurance to make claims which is INSANE. Tenants should be reimbursed all costs for relocation, deductibles and stress from the insanity that COULD have been avoided.

Halls in the middle of the property were reported to have water damage - that is why there are painters at the property yelling down the halls with no decency to keep residents in mind.  

Don't expect Legacy to update us. 

Legacy Partners has admitted under oath to not knowing the name of any of the porters that work here EVERY day, and are in the leasing office every morning unsupervised at 8:00AM. 

Legacy or LaSalle do NOT do background checks on any temporary maintenance worker from InterSolutions that enter your home or any porter, or ANY patrol guards. This is scary as many have reported harassment and according to a former Legacy employee the owner of the patrol company told him that he "can't get guard cards due to their records."  Public lawsuits against Alico allege that they don't pay their employees per the laws of California, which if any of this is true are other violations of the property management agreement. 

LaSalle is clearly negligent for allowing Legacy to ruin this property.  All they care about is their investors. 

As of today, the Franchise Tax Board shows Alico [since 2025] and R&J Janitorial [since 2012] in suspension - meaning [per the FTB website] they are "legally" not allowed to do business in CA. This is another  violation of the property management agreement.  

Legacy, LaSalle and Kyle Dupree continue turn a blind eye.  It is beyond insane what is allowed to go on DAILY. 

After a conversation with housing it is leading towards a hearing where the property might go into REAP.

It is NOT the job of a tenant to leave - it is the legal obligation of LaSalle to make LEGACY LEAVE and to protect their residents. 

The owners and Legacy have worked together [through Kimball Tirey] to illegally evict over 20 residents under the name "LPF Triana, Inc." despite the entity no longer existing AND even filed eviction documents against at least one resident [who then moved out] under name, "Triana at Warner Center" which is the owner who sold the property in 2018, and had nothing to do with her lease.  They are foolish enough to think they are going to get away with this all. 

There is NO new management here.  It's the same revolving door of INCOMPETENT staff since July 2018 who harass women and lie to us on a daily basis, do not know about proper notice of Agent of Service or how to enter our homes, and then think that free food will make it better after ANOTHER notice of alarm testing coming next week.  This is pure incompetence and what appears to be harassment and an intentional nuisance in our lives. 

February 23, 2025:

This place, which brings in $800,000 a month continues to get worse.  Look at the hall floors and trash rooms. Their vendors do not comply with local laws and do not do proper background checks.  Their focus is to harass women who live here.  They make entry to our units without notice and don't bother to walk the grounds or stairs UNTIL someone complains on Yelp.  Housing and Public Health cite them but they ignore.  There are reported leaks in the halls and IN units.  This is very dangerous.  The pool renovations are very suspicious.  The alarms are still going off and waking us up with no rent credits.  Post on Yelp and Google and call the local media.  We cannot live with Legacy here.  They are an utter nightmare.  They average 20 vacancies a month and STLLL won't change. . Legacy is pure evil and acts like a cult.  Employees better go along with their sickness or be fired.  They come here because they can't find jobs elsewhere.

April 6, 2024:

How long are they going to post updates in the elevator and NOT act?  We still have garage leaks.  The halls are getting worse. Still have DEAD planters for YEARS.  And we still have RUDE staff that spend more time gossiping in the morning "huddles" instead of addressing OPEN work orders and unhappy residents.  They have 25 units that are on notice or currently available.  If you look at the cage on P1 and ALL the furniture piling up...its from all the move-outs. 

What do we need?  A pickleball Court.

Their "us against them mentality" is disturbing.  This is our home and they are tyrants who should not be allowed in this industry. 

Hoping the latest DOJ criminal investigation into RealPage and unnamed landlords exposes these unethical companies once and for all. 

March 16, 2023

Wasting money updating a basketball court that less than 10% of the tenants use. Can't fix a trash chute door or an elevator. Cant hire more staff to actually HELP the tenants. Can't fix the broken alarm system but they will fix anything that suckers in new residents who figure it out weeks into their mov in. They have time though to ask you for a 5- Star Yelp review and they have time to pin us against each other like we are living in a high-school. Working together is the only way to get change.

2022

Trash Chute Doors - Los Angeles Fire Department

The trash chute doors have been left open almost daily for three years. Despite being on notice in 2019 that this was a code violation, they let them stay open for months instead of repairing them. After citations, they brought in a vendor to replace some of the springs. Days later they broke. The doors should be replaced but they do not want to spend the money.

The Los Angeles Fire Department inspected the property on April 12, 2021, and cited them, again, for the trash chute doors and stairwell doors, which are also not code compliant. To this day August 2021 they are still not compliant. Trash room doors broken since June 16, 2021. Garage pipes leak water and oil every day.  LaSalle Investment Management DOES NOTHING. They spend their time investigating tenants instead of repairing. Photos were sent to Kyle Dupree, Legacy and LaSalle as well as other executives - they refuse to cure. 

May 15, 2025:

New Federal Lawsuit against Legacy Partners Corporation filed on March 11, 2025 in California for Civil Rights Violations. [5:25-cv-02599]. 

New LASC lawsuit:  Salvatierra v LPF Triana, Inc.  24VECV04631, filed in October 2024,

same department as Hart v LaSalle.

April 11, 2025:  

       LaSalle, LPF and DUPREE given the opportunity to finish paying Hart or "go to trial" against a pro se litigant, chose to pay in full with no terms other than dismissal. This was a day after their lawyer, Ashan Peiris, was questioned by Hart under oath. Those watching did not believe a word he said and were shocked that he passed the bar.  Desperate people hire very odd lawyers.  

February 23, 2025:

Hart v Sullivan settled but will hopefully still be going to trial.  Waiting on March ruling.  Hart v LaSalle still moving forward.  The mass tort [Glenn Murphy] suits are still going forward out of DTLA court.  You can google "Legacy lawsuits" to read up about them.  Legacy is also facing lawsuits around the block at The Essence.  

April 6, 2024:

Hart v Sullivan, et al.,  going to trial November 12, 2024.

March 16, 2023:

Hart v Sullivan, et al., settled in part for $120,000 and still litigating on Sullivan, Legacy and LaSalle. 

Class actions and/or Mass Tort cases.

Dione Freitas v LPF (burnt by BBQ) settled for 4.6 million but unfortunately that won't get change here. When an insurance carrier pays out - Kyle Dupree and LaSalle Investment  do not care and do not learn. 

Update September 1, 2022: LaSalle filed Motion for Summary Judgment against Legacy:

(Despite the statements filed in court Kyle Dupree will not remove Legacy Partners from the property.)

"Legacy Partners’ Breach: Legacy Partners’ negligent installation and maintenance of the subject grill, particularly in the unsafe disconnection of the gas lines under the bbq grill here, amounts to a breach of two provisions of the property management agreement. (UF 5.) First, they failed to “use commercial reasonable and diligent efforts” to install and maintain the subject grill, such that those efforts caused Plaintiffs injury. (Id.) Second, Legacy Partners have failed to defend and indemnify LPF Triana in this case because this claim arises solely out of Legacy Partners’ negligence. (Id.) 

As part of those closures, Davin Ross directed another Legacy Partners’ employee, the on- site maintenance supervisor, Richard Carey, to shut down the common area bbq grills. (UF 8.) Mr. Carey then removed the gas flex line underneath the bbq grill located adjacent to Plaintiff’s apartment in the nearby common area, which effectively disconnected the bbq grill from the incoming main gas line, among other things. (Id.) In doing so, Mr. Carey neither drained the residual gas in the incoming main gas line nor capped the opened end of the incoming main gas line. (Id.) 

Furthermore, Legacy Partners was negligent for failing to provide its property managers and their maintenance technicians with specific instructions as to how to adequately and effectively shut down the grills to avoid injury. (UF 8.) Moreover, Legacy Partners, through Richard Carey and Davin Ross, were negligent for failing to take additional steps to shut down the subject grill, including capping the open ended gas line underneath the grill after removal of the flex line to the grill, draining the residual gas from the incoming main gas line; and in failing to hire knowledgeable vendors to perform safe closure of the bbq grills. (UFs 8, 10, 11.) To the extent that Plaintiffs injuries arise from any failure to safely and effectively shut down the bbq grill, those injuries were caused solely by the negligence of Legacy Partners, Inc.

2020:
 

"Cross-Complainant [LASALLE/LPF] is informed and believes, and based thereon alleges that Plaintiffs’ alleged injuries, if any, arise solely from, and therefore was substantially caused by, LEGACY’s negligence or gross negligence. Cross-Complainant retained LEGACY to provide property management services for the subject premises during the time period covering the INCIDENT. As part of those duties, LEGACY had (sic) was obligated to repair and maintain the subject grill, and monitor access to the subject grill. LEGACY negligently failed to do so which resulted in Plaintiffs’ injuries, if any."

AND STILL, LASALLE WILL NOT FIRE THEM!

There are other lawsuits against the owners and property managers, with more to come.
