Jeffrey serber    |    Los Angeles    ,    California 90027    Landlord Complaint 23-3537

I have been clearly told and threatened to be officially evicted by Mr Jefferey Serber owner of the property whom I have met for the first time last Monday January 6th and been asked to start looking for another place. I have been living at this place since January 15th of 2013 and I am not contemplating moving elsewhere as I do like my apartment. While hardwood floors have a very long lifespan and look beautiful they are notoriously noisy. The apartment building is rather old and the unit needs some repairs and modern upgrades: - during day time there is not enough hot water pressure to allow having a shower, pressure starts coming back only after midnight and not long enough for a person to enjoy a bath; when I complained about it to the Property Manager his response was "I can't do anything about it, to fix it we would need to change the plumbing for all of the property. - windows are a real pass through: one cannot close them properly to insulate against weather or street sound - except for the toilet / bathroom area, the apartment has no inside doors at all, so one cannot close a door that you would expect to separate the bedroom from the kitchen area or a door between the kitchen area and the guest room: as a consequence any noise happening in the apartment can obviously be heard by the next door neighbors, especially during night time as the surrounding common noise tends to diminish, so the noise emitted if one wants to use the bathroom or take a shower gets amplified and we know what the neighbors are most likely hearing, as we can hear as well any noise that our next door neighbors do even more so if they are celebrating some Birthday or other event with friends playing music instruments and singing all night until sunshine. The walls are so thin that sometimes I get awaken by strange noises in the middle of the night only to realize that this is the breathing of my neighbors having some intimate moment. So as common noise complaints which would never be heard by the neighbors if some of the current construction standards for new buildings were to be applied on this property. I do have a later schedule and try to act after 11pm if I was in a library: I start to get very anxious fearing that I will be having a heart attack if I was unintentionally to drop some object that I carry. This can be translated that I feel being harassed and caused unjustified stress at my sanctuary and can no longer enjoy at any time living quietly at my place.
