Classic Property Management

My HOA check has gotten «lost» in the mail again… I still pay a lot of bills by mail and oddly ONLY my letters to Classic Property Management get lost. This has happened 4 times now! In 20 years the post office has never lost a letter to anyone else!!! They fine me for the check being late and send me nasty mail if the emergency contact form gets «lost in the mail». They never answer the phone or get back to me when I leave messages. When I had leak in the roof, they were «too busy» to deal with it (they actually said that). Then when the Management company schedules the workers to paint the doors or fix the sky lights they leave a note on your garage the night before and then get angry if you are not available to open the patio or front door for the handy man the next day. Most of us have jobs, you can’t just be available at the last minute. Unfortunately I have no choice with dealing with them, although at times I have wanted to sell my condo for no other reason than to get rid of them.

I don’t even want to give one star for their service. They haven’t answered or returned for my call. It seems they are not in their office. I don’t understand why our boards keep using them. So to speak useless.

My HOA check had gotten lost in the mail. Maria, at Classic, was quick to respond. I sent another check asking to be notified if the original check ever reaches destination. I was notified, but by the bank. I guess she was not listening to my request. Other than that, I have very little to do with Classic — they are kind of like a silent partner.

No STARS — After several communication and a written letter of request to Mr Tom Bodkin with monthly financial record details along with meeting minutes of the homeowners association I have not heard anything back.
I mentioned I am willing to pay additional Adm. cost to receive this information. As a home-​owner in an association this information should be available to me. I am now forced in sending certified letters and lastly taking legal action against this organization.
Our Homeowners had over 10,000 missing from the ledger a few years back with no explanation.

The worst service (if you can even call it that). Going on eight months without a handyman because «we can’t find one». Seriously? You’re in Los Angeles and you don’t know how to use Google???
Don’t return calls, emails, and provides no management of property beyond collecting HOA dues

I don’t like their work is so slow and never gets done.
When I call them the mail box is full and finally left a message but ever called back
Email responded me after a week later.
I don’t respect their work ! The worst management company.

Don’t event want to give them 1 star. They managed a community in LA County, where I previously lived. Their staff is extremely rude and unprofessional in their dealings with homeowners. Do not hire them.

Classic property management company recently took over management of our building after we fired the most horrible management company ever — LBPM. Wow! If you value your sanity stay far away from that company.
Anyway, Classic has been wonderful. Our property supervisor, Lisa Munoz, is very responsive to our board email inquiries and concerns. She is very knowledgable about managing properties and we feel she is very concerned about our property. Classic sends us timely reports and they are accurate and simple to read and understand. Also, they have made is very easy for homeowners to pay their dues. All of our homeowners are satisfied with this company. Our email are responded to in a reasonable amount of time and we are pleased with their work. We are seeking vendors to replace our fences and classic has sent out 3 vendors all within less than two weeks. We have had nothing but courteous and respectful service since their takeover. Our HOA does’t have anything bad to say about anyone at the office and are looking forward to a continued business relationship.

THEE worst company I have ever dealt with. Nothing gets done through these people. NOTHING! Security at our apartment is a joke. Already this year there has been a break in and multiple bike thefts, including mine, and NOTHING gets done. Asked for a copy of the security footage, $ 70 dollars. Are you serious?!? Customer service is non existent. That Kathleen woman is a real charmer. There is literally NOTHING positive I can say about these people. However, I do appreciate them sending me a name plate for my mailbox, 13 months AFTER I had moved in!

Terrible, disgusting, unprofessional, careless, no honor, concern, or truth… Classic Property Management is awful. Starting with the owner Zolten… And Kathleen is the pits. The whole staff is terrible… Kathleen is A fast talking liar with no morals and definitely no values…

If I could I would give them a –5 stars. This company is so bad. Two years ago I bought a condo that they our managing. They have horrible customer service and the owner seems like he does not care. One staff member Bruce is an a whole! He is lazy and when you called him about a problem he does not take care of it.

Just so you know, the address where all of this mold and these insect colonies live, was ** 16 825 Crenshaw Blvd. in Torrance, California, ** just down the street from El Camino College. There are 4 apartments there, all owned by the same slum-​lord. Do not rent these apartments, unless you like being ignored, lied to, and abused by your landlord, and live your life surrounded by mold, insects, and bad property managers who scream at you and refuse to fix your furnace in the dead of winter. When I first moved in, the landlord said there was still some more work to do, so if I didn’t mind, there would be workers coming around for a couple of weeks. I said that would be no problem, I could accommodate the workers being there. Two years later, I was still waiting for the promised repairs!!! All I got was excuses, until I received the letter that Classic Property Management would be the new property managers — -and they, screamed at me, refused to fix my furnace, and when I sued them for refusing to return my security deposit, the little turd Zoltan, or whatever his name is, ACTUALLY LIED IN COURT DOCUMENTS!!! After I sued them, that little turd filed a lawsuit against me, for taking him to court in San Diego, TELLING THE COURT THAT HE HAD TO PAY FOR A HOTEL ROOM, AND WAS SUING ME TO GET THE HOTEL MONEY! HE NEVER STAYED IN A HOTEL!!! In the San Diego courtroom, he had told the judge that he had driven down that morning, and was heading back as soon as it was over. It was over around 10:30am. Plenty of time to drive from San Diego to L.A., which he did, but LIED IN COURT DOCUMENTS, STATING THAT HE HAD TO TRAVEL SO FAR, THAT HE NEEDED A HOTEL ROOM, AND TRIED TO SUE ME FOR HIS TRAVEL COSTS!!! Fortunately, the judge shut him down immediately, but still, HE LIED IN COURT DOCUMENTS! If he will lie in court documents, how well do you think he will treat you as a tenant, if he is willing to lie under penalty of perjury just to try to screw you over? Also, one time, I went into the neighbor’s apartment to help her, as she was blind. She had huge holes in her floor and walls!!! She was afraid to say anything, afraid that they would kick her out, and she would have to try to find another apt. They were totally taking advantage of a blind woman, giving her an apartment with holes in the floor so large that a hefty sized raccoon would have easily crawled through! She could have fallen and broken a leg! She was blind!!! That is how much care you will receive if you rent an apartment at this address.

They claim to be «full service» … apparently being responsive to calls does not fall within the service they provide. I called the listing agent — Christie — on a rental. Did not get a call back; I called the office and was told Steve would get back to me … no call back. If their pre-​lease service is any indication, I would hate to see what they are like after they sign you up.

Not a happy resident! I wish there was a way that I could petition against this management company! Susan is very unresponsive and never in the office always «on the field» I wish I would of known about this HOA company before i purchased my home.

Classic Property Management is a down-​to-​earth, caring leasing company. I was offered a job out of state and needed to move almost immediately. Instead of snubbing me and not considering my situation like many management companies would do, Christie (the property manager) was able to work with the owner and my lease so that I could take the job opportunity. I am very thankful that I chose to rent through them and not some corporate, you’re-just-a-number-to-me agency.
