Walk in, no appointment, my first visit. Parked across the street where dollar store was located…read moreand entered DPSS past 11:30a. I was seen fairly quickly but likely due to my uncomplicated request. When I left near 12:30p, there was a line out the door with security limiting access inside due to capacity. Security kept the limit of people inside comfortable for everyone. I came at the perfect time, and recommend considering arriving before employees take their breaks for lunch. This location seems extremely busy, and long waits are likely common depending on your situation. With an ever revolving door of people coming in requesting help, employees look spent and over it. I don't blame them, but it was a little depressing once I was called. Most people waiting inside were in good spirits, but the energy of employees behind the glass were over it and again, I was gone by 12:30p. They probably get some out of pocket guests often. The welcome crew that guides and hands your numbers were in better spirits, they really do set the tone for everyone coming in. It can't be easy, so I appreciate everyone that made this experience so seamless.

This review is for the DPSS location on 3rd/4th Street located near the Tokyo Central Marketplace…read moreShopping center on Alameda/Central.... because I cannot find the aforementioned location on Yelp. I just wanted to communicate that my experiences within the past year have exceeded my expectations because of Miss Alex Rodriguez. I have been homeless since last March due to a fire within my apartment complex and have been living in a shelter since the incident. Moreover, I've suffered from a chronic back injury due to an attack. Throughout this chapter of my life, it has been a very positive and productive experience having her assist me with such efficiency, professionalism, and kindness. This location has been a tremendous and uplifting experience, due to the overwhelming care and productive manner in which things are handled. I highly recommend visiting this location. =)

Upon entering off Figueroa St you'll see two lines to your left, one for birth the other for death. The forms off to the right either for birth or death certificates. Once you complete your form you'll have two lines. Service is very quick I was in and out with the birth certificate in less than 10 minutes around 11am. Plan your day to avoid the LA traffic jam then enjoy your day in LA. Both parents do not need to be present to obtain a birth certificate. Parking available in the structure or street meter. If meter parking is available I suggest that one as you typically won't be there long. So if you live or pass away in LA this is a place you'll have to be at. Don't worry you won't wait in traffic like on the LA freeways at this spot. God bless

They ignore anonymous complaints. Even when not anonymous, they don't do their jobs. I reported…read morerats in my building ceiling (common shared indoor hallway ceiling) where you could see the foam tiles chewed away at almost every corner, and many round urine stains. I specifically reported that they were in the ceiling, I can hear them running in the evenings. The county inspector came over, notified the building manager days before coming, and said she saw nothing. Of course, the manager quickly replaced the foam tiles, painted them, patched them up and vaccuumed the floor. There were still signs - some urine stains and some chewed corners of tiles- but when I asked if she had seen that evidence, she said it was only in her "job description to look down for rat feces - not to look up." I was amazed... I asked specifically for her to look into rats living in a ceiling space and it's not in her job description to look up? What a sad excuse. It's disgusting that these employees don't do what's morally right, and they get paid big $. Why would you announce that you're going to do an inspection so the builing can hide their evidence? Why wouldn't you look up? You expect me to believe that there's a job description that says don't look up? or barely shift a tile to see the rat nests/feces? I offered to do this myself in her presence and she refused to come back for me to show her the feces. Tax money laundering at it's finest. What is the point of this department if no one does their job? Not even the supervisor cared when I called in. She could hardly speak English, and didn't care at all. Her job security is off the charts.
