    Parking is behind the building. Cars there will get door dings, at least. Residents can get a parking space across the street for a very reasonable fee. However, watch where you step because the sidewalks are used as open toilets (urine and feces). Although a subway station is only a block away, don't attempt to cross MacArthur Park after sunset unless you like getting robbed or mugged. Under 21 year olds can buy fake ID's at Wilshire and Alvarado and at Alvarado and 7th St. The building was renovated by unlicensed and unskilled workers, and without legal permits, so the work is inferior. After repiping, holes were left so the building has rodents (rats - the big kind!). The building is rent-controlled, so after moving in, rent can only go up so much (5%?) per year. The building management is slow in responding to service requests and it can take them several attempts to make the slightest repair, and months to fix anything major. Don't live here!
