This building is infested with Roaches!! COCKROACHES are the main tenants! In the 13+ years that a relative has lived in this building, it has NEVER been exterminated. How can a multi family complex have as many units as Talevera Apts has, and the management never schedule routine pest control? One can only assume the management to include the onsite assistant manager who lives on the premises is used to living with insects! The Department of Housing needs to investigate this building for insect infestation which is a violation of the Implied Warranty of Habitability. No matter how many "cosmetic improvements" the owner attempts to do to make this property more appealing to justify the rent increases-it is still one step up from a slumlord run building. The only bright side is the management does a great job of screening potential tenants --the residents are all nice, courteous and everyone gets along. The children in the building all play together and that's great to see--it is a safe environment. The major downside is the building owners and management seem to operate within the gray area of the Implied Warranty of Habitability--there have been several fires (one in which tenants were seriously injured), the water to the building is routinely turned off for "maintenance" and the units, hallways & outside sidewalks and inside common areas are INFESTED with roaches! The management has said "if you want your unit fumigated, then you can request it." That makes absolutely no sense-- they need to fumigate the entire building! If the entire building isn't exterminated, the cockroaches will just move to from unit to unit. There needs to be a major building wide fumigation followed up with weekly exterior/interior common areas treatments! The bottom line is there is an obvious lack of respect for the tenants and the California laws regarding habitability. I can only assume that if Abra management/owners aren't motivated to address this issue, the LA Department of Housing will have to. read more

My husband and I have been here for almost 2 years and we've had a lovely experience living here. Not many places are as nice as this apartment complex, and especially being on the more affordable side being in Los Angeles.... I've seen a lot of effort from the management in maintaining the buildings, and the overall atmosphere of the community. For the most part it seems like neighbors are also pretty chill. Summer time, it gets a little more on the louder side at the pool because of there being a lot of families here but I don't see that as a bad thing! That's what the pool is for, to have fun. I definitely would recommend people to move here, I feel fairly safe as well, given we are a gated community. read more

Talavera is awesome place to live in, everyone in the staff is super friendly and very helpful. The community is very nice and quiet, I lived there for 3 years with 0 complaints, any service that needed to be done was fixed immediately without any questions or wait time. Only reason that I am moving is because my job relocated out of state. I hope my next lace wll be just as nice Isaac and Linda at the leasing office were very helpful whenever I had a question. So these guys and this community is A++ and I recommend it to anyone that is looking to live in that area. Just wanted to say thank you before I go! :) read more

the washing machines never work, been here 8 years, they went from coins, to app/phone, costing more than twice, and still just about every time I go, I am taking a chance I'm robbed money because it doesn't work, and who am I gonna call on weekends for 2$ maybe ? plus out-of-order paper all over the place with hundred of people in line, it's really bad, "THE WASH/DRY" stuff sucks here, they must re-do the maintain this and change company to get it maintained right instead of choosing the cheapest thing out there, the positive is they changed management, and the latest guy is cool, but the previous managers were horrible for years, hopefully the last guy stays. read more

I'm not going to sit here and explain my horrific experience moving into this dump of a place. I will let the photos I took of what was in the apartment unit I was leasing for 6 days had and what the building hallways was filled with do the talking. Do yourself a favor and don't even bother wasting your time l, not even with the so called apartment manager who will sweet talk you into this filth. Definitely needs to be shut down by health inspectors. Enjoy the beautiful photos. Oh and PS to those kissing ass to the apartment management saying there isn't any roaches or bugs LMAO! The photos speak for themselves idiots. Smh. read more

First of all, ROACHES EVERYWHERE!!! I lived on the third floor in a tiny single apt and they were all over my walls, floors and things! Crawling out of electrical sockets and cracks in the walls! I can't even imagine what it's like to live on the first floor. During my first few days staying there, a staff member UNLOCKS my door and enters! Anytime we would be more than 2 days late on rent the manager (eman I think) would show up with two male staff members knocking on my door early in the morning. The worst part; Abra Management. After living there for over 18 months in total, the manager knocks and gives my rent check BACK to me! When I ask her why, she says she is not going to accept it because I have a dog... IVE HAD THE DOG FOR OVER A YEAR! As did other renters, some with multiple or large breed of dogs. I never once got a complaint or warning about my pet, but after a year with him, she one day decides that she is not going to accept my rent. My options were to get rid of my dog or move out. A few days later I get a letter saying I will be evicted for not paying rent. Wtf!? So I demand to speak to the owner, Jeffery, and make a deal with him over the phone. I tell him that I will move out by the middle of the month, giving me about a week and a half, and then I don't have to pay the rent (since they wouldn't accept it anyway) and they keep my deposit (which I was sure I would never see again anyway). So after all this deal was strongly in his favor, because evicting me could take up to six months or more even without him seeing a dime. I stick to my word and move out without any problems, a few months later I get a letter from a collections agency demanding 2500$!!!! My rent was under a 1000$ AND I TRIED TO GIVE IT TO THEM! I started calling Jeffery at his office (same one he still has off of Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills) I called him multiple times a day, day after day for weeks. Everytime he was "busy or not there or on another call" according to his receptionist and of course I never got a call back. This was a while ago and I still have collections letters coming because I can't afford it, (that's what reminded me to write this review) and my credit has been damaged. F you Jeffery! And the managers on a power trip. If anyone has any questions or comments about the roaches or apartment in general, you can reach him at (310) 280 0446 read more

Talavera Apartments - Talavera Apartments Management company! - Apartments Near Me - Reseda, California

I applied for an apartment here, I met all the renting requirements and they still denied my application. Later I found out that the management is Arabic and they discriminated against me for being Jewish. They didnt even run my credit report!!!! read more

Linda and Haley are the best managers. Getting new furniture around the pool and the new barbecues are really nice. I recommend this place to anyone, they are very friendly. read more

Facts! Honestly, I don't even understand how people even live here because if I had HUGE nasty ass roaches/water bugs coming from the cracks, bathroom ceiling fans, and the drains in this apartment, i'm pretty sure everyone else was and still is dealing with the same issue. The halls smell like cat piss because this building has alley cats everywhere from people in the building placing milk and food outside... So not only are we sheltering roaches but cats too! It won't matter how many times they come out to "spray" your apartment because the issue is bigger than a few monthly squirts! Haha sounds funny but that's a fact !!! What they need to do is take all the money that's being collected for rent and start covering /sealing the holes on the outside of the building and roof area and bomb the apartment once and for all ! So I'm sure you get the point by now that they have a big problem and clearly I didn't have the best experience. I did live there for 1 year and the roach problem appeared 3 months in. Talk about being uncomfortable!! I will say that landlord and her assistant there are so sweet , but even they only have so much control of what can be done for that building. I hope my review helps the next person because I literally never write reviews!! So you can only imagine how big of a deal this was for me to even take the time to do this . Also, you know what's crazy is that I never took the time to even read the reviews before moving in till now and that's only because I took the time to write one myself . But it looks like I'm just another person with the same issues . And the complaints go as far Back as 2012 in regards to roaches. And as you can see everyone is actually saying the same thing I'm saying , smh pretty sad . The only difference is I didn't complain about the wash room and that's only because the whole time I lived there I never even stepped foot in there !! And to think people actually live their with there kids. Good luck y'all ! read more

Rent Here at your Own Risk!!! Your apartment will most likely be broken into. I know people who live here and they have had their jewelry, iPod, checkbook, coin jar, collectibles, purses and clothing (women's clothing) and most recently lap top computer STOLEN!!! And what makes matters worse the thief is coming in with a key. That's right someone with a key enters your apartment when you leave and steals your stuff. When you report it to management they will not do anything about it. The tenant who had her MacBookPro stolen told the assistant manager LINDA (and that's the only person she told) that she was not going to pay her rent until her computer was returned. She also said that if the thief returned her computer that she would not press charges--interestingly the computer was returned two days later. So, the assistant manager LINDA is the thief or knows the thief. It's also interesting that this took place when the head Manager Iman was out of the country. So when the cat is away the mice will play. According to the head manager Iman, the only people with keys other than herself, are Linda and Miguel (the maintenance man). Since Iman was in Germany during the most recent theft, then in my opinion it would be one or both of the other two people with keys. Again, Linda was told by the tenant if the laptop was returned then charges wouldn't be pressed. So the laptop was stolen on Monday Sept. 18, 2017 while the tenant was at work ( she recently started working the night shift) and the laptop was returned during the day on Wednesday Sept 20, 2017. (while she was sleeping someone knocked loudly on her door and when she opened the door her MacBookPro was on her welcome mat! How amazing that it was stolen during her working hours and returned during her sleeping hours--the person knew her schedule enough to know that they needed to knock loudly enough to wake her up (remember she works at night and sleeps during the day) So they knew her schedule!! The apartments that have had items stolen are of people who live alone. An average thief off the street will not know a tenants' schedule or patterns (or that they live alone) but someone who works in the building would. Do not allow maintenance to be in your apartment when you are not home!! And if you move here you'd better hide your valuables. It's a shame because the head manager Iman, has had previous complaints of theft but when you report that your apartment has been burglarized and the person came in with a key, she will pretend that no other thefts have ever occurred. They will also treat you differently once you report that someone has stolen your stuff. If you still are foolish enough to move into this building I suggest you change your locks and install cameras. Also call the police and make a report!! Take your police report to the management! In my opinion these burglaries are an inside job and management is covering it up. read more

There was a water leakage at the unit above mine and my kitchen sustained water damage and so was some parts of the carpet. Isaac, the manager took care of the situation as fast as he was able to. I was always in communication with him through phone calls and emails and always cooperative and responsive. He had the carpet replaced, the countertops re-glazed, and the damaged walls in my kitchen fixed. I am happy of how my situation managed by the efficient staff, Isaac, Linda, Jose, and Wendy. They all collaborated to take care of my unit. And they were all helpful and nice. read more

I have decided to update my review, from six months ago. I've lived here for almost a year now. I have to say this place is great, the grounds are spotless and well taken care of. I have never had a bug problem, any repairs I needed were fixed almost immediately. Eman and Hassan, are the just the sweetest managers I have ever had the pleasure of renting from. I love my apartment and complex. Finally a place my family can call home. read more

I have never had an indoor roach problem living at this complex. It's normal to see crickets and even water bugs outside, this time of the year it is inevitable. management is on top of keeping this building and very approachable with any concerns us tenants have. read more

i have lived here for aprox, 4 years the mgt staff are great eman and her team have always tried their best to make any repairs fast , so i disagree with some of these reveiws i do believe the owners need to address concerns with the bldg. 1. update the units , 2. i personnaly like being here but as i have been a teant for awhile now i watch the owners update as people move and charge outrageous rents for new teants but the ones who have stayed loyal and like the area are told if u want updates u need to pay more on top of this they raise the rent evey year and still no updates shame shame on the owners changeing little things will always keep people happy and want to stay instead of leaving you with alot of open units ,in the end the mgt team are great the owners need work on being human read more

I've been at this apartment for about 3 years now and have loved it. The managers Emnan her husband and Linda are great! I would definitely recommend this apartment. read more

I live in the Talavera Apts currently and cannot say enough about the management of this complex.. Before we moved in, with busy and different work schedules the manager met with us at 8:30 at night to show the apartment to me, my boyfriend and roommate had already seen it. She then again arrange another late night meeting so I could sign our lease. Any issues we had have always been attended to promptly. The complex is always clean and well kept. The culture here is well mixed with young and old and multi nationalities. It's such a blessing to live in a positive environment with a management that cares about its tenants. read more

Love this place it's always clean! This apartments are peaceful and quiet! Main reason I move here it's because of the Managers in charge of this place, they are friendly and caring, and want what's best for the tenets. Very happy moving here, it's been 3 months and still the managers are spectacular with everyone. Until today it's still quiet and clean, the main reason why it stays like this it's because of the people who are in charge. read more

I moved in about 1 year ago and this place is great. The management is awesome and treat you like family. Anything that may need attention such as basic repairs they are very prompt. I am so grateful to have found this place. If you want a nice place to live with managers that treat you like you matter then I highly recommend checking this place out. The price is affordable and the Management is a great team. By the way, apartment living will always chance pest such as bugs. We have seen one roach and when we told the managers they had pest control out immediately. We have no problems with roaches and we live on the 3rd floor. read more

I've been living here for over a year and I've had nothing but great things to say about this place! During the first months of living here there was a few buggos that were kind of annoying not gunna lie, but that ended pretty quick. Honestly if you keep your place clean, you won't have buggos. Management has been great and extremely friendly. I have never lived in an apartment building with such friendly management. They always have a smile on and that is enough to brighten your day! As far as repairs and maintenance, it's always clean, and we've never had a problem with delays on repairs or anything of that nature. It's always taken care of in a timely manner. Hallway carpet and paint is new now which gives the building a little more modern look I suppose. They recently repainted the parking lot and looks great now! Over all, this place is great and I have love every second of my stay here. PS: don't be fooled by those reviews claiming of roaches when they clearly show CRICKETS outside. read more

My husband I lived here almost 2 years. I absolutely liked the area and complex the only complaint I can honestly complain about was the fact that hot water or the water altogether was constantly being turned off without notice. That was very unfortunate considering that we're working people and to wake up to no water or no hot water was so inconvenient. I felt like the rent wasn't too expensive. It was a great place expect the water issue. read more

I wanted to say that the current management team, Eman & Hussein and Linda rock! The grounds are very, very well maintained. The complex is quiet and peaceful. I have read some other reviews and quite frankly strongly disagree with roach/bugs comments. Yes, as one reviewer said, you do to see "normal" outside bugs - but nothing like what a few of the reviewers day. Did it ever occur to them that maybe the roaches were in their stuff that was moved?? I have lived on the property for a very long time (longer than any of the reviewers here) and never had a roach infestation in my unit. In fact, repairs are always taken care of, if something is broken a new item is installed. I have also never had a problem with staff entering my unit unannounced or stealing my things. The laundry room has all brand new machines, which makes doing laundry fun! No community is 100% perfect without minor issues, the important part is management is on top of things here. read more

Clean and safe building, plumbing has been updated. Hallway carpet is in the process of being replaced. Good management and maintenance team! Many tenants have been here for years! Nicely landscaped with beautiful pool. read more

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY... NO communication between MANAGER of apt building (Sylvia) and property manager (Jeffery). Sylvia is a #$%$ who acts like she doesn t know anything. The apartments are OK, the building could use an upgrade. POOL and Spa (doesn t get warmer than bath water) they both stay dirty, BBQ grills are never clean. I was there for 6 months because the people in apt 350 who obviously had a sleeping disorder or nervous problem would pace the floor between 12am-4am. The only advice Sylvia offered was that I call the police (which I did) and write a nice note (which I did). After putting up with the BS for months. I contacted Jeffery the property manager and after he sent several notices to the tenants nothing was done. After realizing that nothing was going to be done. I had no choice but to move because they were not going to put the tenants out EVEN THOUGH there is a NOISE ORDINANCE within the building. THEY ARE FULL OF #$%$. RENT HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK read more
