Sixth Street Lofts

The manager took us on a tour and I just fell in love with the place. Patrick Neely was very professional and we appreciate his time. He is very welcoming and was on time. He answered every question I had.

My daughter has been living in a studio apartment in this property since the opening of this building-​the dishwasher has not worked since day 1-​the center island which was to be installed in the kitchen has not been installed and other minor repairs have not been addressed. This is 6 months into the lease. Despite multiple calls to the property manager, repairs have not been dealt with.

If I could give 0 stars I would. The manager Patrick is extremely lazy. I live in this building and my dishwasher has been broken for over 5 months. He keeps telling me that it’s going to be fixed and seeing as we are 5 months into my lease that’s clearly not what’s happening.
Like others said he gives you his cell phone number then ignores your calls, emails etc. I am appalled this place is in business. I’m sure the owners of the building do not know what type of person they have hired. The call box hasn’t been hooked up, my garbage disposal was unplugged 5 months. This place is not worth the money that we are paying to live here.
Don’t be fooled by Patrick’s nice personality this place is hell. He will get you in and throw you to the curb the second you pay.

Toured the property with Patrick and it was a fantastic experience. He was polite, professional, knowledgeable about the property, and punctual. The complex itself is brand new and is still being updated, although it is being filled with tenants. Can’t wait to live here next month!

I recently visited this property and toured with Patrick. I have to say it was a pleasant experience, I had a late day and we called him to reschedule. Not only did he offer to provide me with a tour at a later time, he showed me 3 floor plans that I was interested in. He was very professional and polite. We look forward to moving to this beautiful place and couldn’t of been happier with the service that we received. To top it off the place is brand spanking new!!!

The tour was AMAZING! Patrick was the absolute best! He answered all my questions in depth and he was very attentive. I highly recommend him! Very sweet knowledgeable guy!!! If I could give more stars I would!!!

After months of online apartment hunting from Northern California, my boyfriend and I had narrowed it down to 2 spots in Long Beach, Sixth Street Lofts being one of them. We took the first week of the year to make the long drive down here from the Bay to check out both spots in person and make our decision before we make the big move.
We had communicated with the Manager primarily via email and scheduled an appointment for Wednesday the 6^th.
I will agree with the other reviews that we did have a bit of a hard time finding the place but that was also due to our unfamiliarity with the area. When we arrived, we found the leasing center and were right on time for our appointment with Patrick. After that moment, we had our hearts set on this place. We walked through the property and WOW, the courtyard and fireplace lounge area were beautiful and you really cant beat that its right there in walking distance to the beach. The kitchens are to die for with granite and beautiful appliances — I noticed that a lot of places don’t include all of the appliances so it was important to me to live somewhere that I wouldn’t need to go buy a refrigerator as a renter.
Needless to say, we loved the place and the Patrick. We are so excited to be moving in at the end of the month and are sure the place will live up to the expectations! THANKS SIXTH STREET LOFTS, cant wait to call you home!

Marcus’ review is quite accurate. My girlfriend and I set-​up an appointment to meet «Patrick» when it first opened only to receive a strange, relatively incoherent call 30mins prior to our appointment saying he had to cancel– something to the effect that the security guard had the building «locked-​down». NP we rescheduled early the next morning— this is were the fun started. «Patrick» did not show-​up, failed to answer his phone and of course his VM was «full».
We drove by several times during «business hours» w/​o any success– their office was never open. Ironically, their security guard was always present and quite friendly– perhaps they should hire him as their leasing agent!?! A couple weeks later we passed by the apartment and by some amazing act of God their office was open. We had a chance to meet «Patrick”– he was disorganized, generally unprofessional and of course his VM was «full».
How such a nice property can employ such an unprofessional manager is incomprehensible. It would make more sense if this complex would relieve their current management «team» and promote their security guard to the position of their leasing agent. I imagine their security guard could handle both jobs, as he is their only employee who is consistently present during business hours and behaves in a professional/​courteous manner.
Additional Tenant Resources (given some of the violations noted in Unilocal reviews):
1. Free city resources:
Specifically:
Call the Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services at (562) 570‑4132, and the Long Beach Building and Planning Department at (562) 570‑2633
2. Free legal tenant assistance:
3. Look for and ask above services for a mediation department and/​or processes
4. Document everything including the time you spent trying to get repairs. Bill this amount as what ever your hourly salary at your job is, as your can verify this and claim losses in court. CA rental laws allows one to be compensated for up to $ 7500.00.
5. Remind the corporate offices of steps 1 – 4, you should get a free month or some type of compensation plus all your repairs.
6. If at any time you feel threatened or your manager is acting in an irrational manner that can be construed as threatening, see «Andrew’s Unilocal Review» call the police. The landlord has a fiduciary duty by law to honor all of the terms in the lease and do so in a rational, competent manner– behavior with the intent to intimidate/​threaten = police report. Request a report be filed (to verify the situation happened) and document that along with officer’s name and pass it along to the corporate office.
Additionally, there is no such «rental law» that allows a manager to enter a tenant’s apartment when ever they wish to. CA is one of 23 states requiring 24-​hour notice before entering a tenants apartment. All state have some stipulation of «reasonable» privacy for their tenants.
One can sue the landlord and whoever else comes in without their permission for up to $ 10,000 in small claims court for «trespassing», «breach of contract», «invasion of privacy», and «breach of quiet enjoyment»; if you are two or more tenants, each can separately sue them for up to $ 10,000, and a joint action is not required. Entry of the rental unit by the landlord or his agents may be a criminal trespass, as well. Penal Code 602.5 and 602.8.

7. All these steps are free and will get your situation handled yesterday.

Found these guys online and decided to give them a call. Seemed like a nice new complex and they’ve been open for 3 months.
Patrick was the guy who answered the call and at first came off normal. During our conversation, the line kept cutting in and out and I couldn’t hear him. So I told him I was coming down to tour the property.
This is where it went bad… I was not able to locate the place as there were many one way streets and all the building looked similar. Called him and the line for some reason kept cutting off and after that happening about three times… he stopped answer anymore phone calls. I called him with a second line I had and he picks up. I got really frustrated because he not only was incapable of directing prospective new tenants to the property, but he was rude and unprofessional when I expressed my frustration as to why he did not answer my calls after the call was dropped for the third time. I felt like I drove him for nothing and a complete waste of my time.
He hung up on me again and the next day I wrote an email to management and of course it was him that replied. He stated he was the manager and that he was justified with ignoring my calls and be rude because he accused me of hanging up on him when in actuality I told him it was probably a bad connection. I have Verizon so I know my signal is strong. Either way… he should have never behaved nor responded so rudely and unprofessionally because of his incompetency with directing people to the complex.
I feel bad for the owners who do not know the kind of person they hired to show the property and answer phone calls. They already lost me as a tenant and I haven’t even seen the place. What a complete turn off. Employers should be extra careful as to who they allow to handle their calls for their business as that is the first impression a customer. I hope the owners are reading this.
What a complete waste of my time driving down there and disgusted with their level of service.
