K & B Property Management

Horrible owners and property management.
Run down building. Only take care of bare minimum. Raise rent on this Dump significantly every year. Despite location this place has Nothing to offer and horrible neighborhood etiquette and parking. Do yourself a favor and think twice before renting.

0 stars if I could. These people are the slimiest, most condescending, bullies. They don’t return calls and do the bare minimum to take care of the properties.

Just a few words for Paul Bronstein/K&B Property Management:
You should be ashamed of yourself.
I would not want to be you when it comes time for that karmic return.

I’ve been living in a K & B property management building for the past 20 years. Whenever I need something done, the handyman always does it quickly and effectively.

Finally moved out of a K&B rental that I lived in for 5 years. I kept it incredibly clean but dealing with the management company went from initially a decent experience to a very bad one. I personally felt that they were slacking on upkeep of the unit. I called them several times to fix cracked paint and plaster and they never bothered to do anything about it. The building itself started to become a dump as they let in some low class tenants and I can say I am so glad to be out of there and never come back.
The thing that bothers me most is that in every place I have ever lived or rented, I got my full security deposit back. These thieves include a clause in the lease that says they can basically charge you whatever they want after you leave as a cleaning fee or something of the sort. I was charged $ 140 to «wax the floors». Since when am I responsible for paying the landlord to prepare the apt for a new tenant??! That is robbery plain and simple. A security deposit is for damage to the unit of which there was none. When you argue with them, they say there’s nothing we can do, it’s in the lease.
To add insult to injury they mailed me the security deposit minus a signature, so I had to call them to ask for a new check and they have the audacity to say they were going to charge me a $ 25 – 30 fee to do so. I argued the point and thankfully they didn’t charge me in the end. Guess they were satisfied with screwing me over only once. Then, after repeatedly giving them my new address, the idiots working there completely mess up the address and thankfully the post office was able to figure out that it was meant for me and amazingly managed to deliver it despite the incompetence of the staff at K&B.
The check cleared thank goodness, minus the money stolen from me by these low lifes and I am so happy never to have to deal them again.
I would stay away if I were you.

Management is horrible and rude. I’m trying to get my apt fixed and used the email on the site and was told not to email because they don’t have email contact for those who actually have leases. On site management at the complex is not helpful and clearly you would reach out to the management company to get things fixed.

SLUMLORDS and THE MOST HORRIBLE rental experience of my over a decade renting in Los Angeles. Spent a few hours in their office, fighting for my own lawfully owed money and got the whole sleezeball, creepy snake-​like experience while there. Old, decrepit, and crusty. You know when you have your gut telling you to stay away but you don’t listen to it and you always pay later for it. That happened here. Too much of a nightmare to go into detail but Paul at K+B will receive his if not in his life, in he next.

I’ve lived in my apt managed by K & B for over 5 years and I am happy. Rarely do I need maintenance attention or repairs, but the few times I’ve called, they are so quick to come out or call the appropriate repair man & resolve any issues. The building is very old with lots of character & unique fixtures.

Brian Bronstein and his family have been so kind to our family. We rented two apartments from them, and K&B always responded promptly to any maintenance needs, and were generous in their dealings with us when it came to us upgrading apartment size to accommodate our growing family. Now we live in a beautiful home, (got all our deposit back in good time too), and we are so great-​full to the Bronstein family for befriending us upon that journey. Totally professional and upright people– we appreciate you K&B Property Management! Plan on them being A list for watching over our future rentals…

I have been renting from K&B for just over two years now and I couldn’t be happier with my apartment in Venice. Brian made it convenient to check out local buildings and working signing the lease and moving in immediately was a breeze. My manager April is lovely and always friendly, managing to keep the building looking tidy and well kept. K&B is always promptly responsive to any requests or maintenance needs. The surrounding neighborhood is lovely and conveniently located near many shops and restaurants. I would recommend renting with K&B, they’ve been easy and straight forward to work with.

I’ve been a K&B property tenant for over three years now and they’ve been nothing but nice! They’re quick to respond when it comes to repairs and every time I’ve called the office they’ve been great. I love my apartment and am grateful to have a good landlord along with it!

I’ve been a K&B tenant for going on 7 years. In the time I’ve lived in the building, the management team (Steve and Brian) have always been a pleasure to deal with. Any repair requests are addressed immediately. And many improvements such as new plumbing and bathroom fixtures have also been updated since living there. Brian even went out of his way to select an extra-​quiet tenant in the apartment above mine, since it has hardwood floors. I’m not planning on moving anytime soon. But if i did– I would not hesitate renting another one of their properties.

Brian is a great guy. K&B has always been very responsive for any repairs needed and has always treated me very fair. I live at the Alcott Apartments and find the building and the area very nice!

I’ve been a K & B property tenant for over 10 years and although I’m not much of a Unilocaler… I wanted to say that I’m grateful for having Paul as our property manager. He’s a no nonsense kinda man, but that’s what I appreciate mostly. I think with today’s quick emotional Unilocaling reviews, accountability is easily forgotten. Anyhow, I highly recommend team K & B for all that they’ve done for us in Studio City, Ca. Muchas gracias!

Been a tenant for over a year in one of there buildings and I have to say they are amazing! Always fast to respond to problems and never had an issue with any problem not being fixed. Brian and Paul are so professional and friendly I Dont think I’ll ever leave this building! Great job!

I’ve lived in a property managed by K&B for about 4 years, and I have found them to be responsive and helpful. I would say the most positive thing is that when the unit upstairs went vacant, they really took the time to get someone who wouldn’t be a noise problem for us. Very different from my last place, who rented the unit next store to a couple of «DJ’s» who would stay up all night doing something with «tracks.» Sure, K&B uses the low bidder for plumbing, painting, etc. but most landlords do the same. I find Steve to be a bit saucy but I have no problem with him at all. Brian was fine too, Paul I don’t know.

Only had one phone call with ‘Brian’ and he was VERY rude on the phone.
Decided I’d rather not rent from him after that phone call and now after seeing everyone else’s reviews I’m glad I didn’t.

Ive been renting from this company for about 5 years and in 2 different buildings, they have always been fast to repair or address any issue or concern I have had from water pressure (repiping), bathroom issues, plumbing, garbage disposal, everything ive asked for had been handled… No complaints and would rent from them again in the future, and have referred a few friends…

K & B management took over the property I have lived at now four years. Paul is wonderful. He is fair and treats people with respect. if you are a jerk and many people are and treat him a such — watch out as he will ream you — the guy is not an idiot. Unfortunately he has to deal with hi fair share of jerks on a daily basis.
People are incredibly selfish — want what they want exactly when they want it — break rules, take advantage and all sorts of ugly stuff.
Paul is an educated and fair man and will treat you with respect and dignity from the gate — when work request are put in, they are dealt with in an extremely timely fashion. it’s funny how only the «problem» tenants are the ones with bad thing to say — we have never had anything but a great relationship with Paul and K & B.
It is a good company — fair and goes beyond the call of duty to try to help people not only keep their places but make sure they are taken care of as well.
I agree with Ziva P. indeed.

If I could give them zero, or even negative stars, I would.
First of all, the apartments are old and they do not maintain them well. Half of our doors would not shut because they painted over the bolt and so the door would not fit into the door frame. The sink constantly clogged, the windows barely shut, and the landlord is unprofessional and extremely rude. The interactions i had with the employees (especially our landlord) were always unpleasant and he never wanted to accomodate us.
When we would call to get something fixed, they wouldn’t send anyone out until weeks later. The one laundry machine was broken for weeks and we had to lug our laundry down the street to clean it.
We were told we would get two parking spots, and we only received one. However, we could not use it because the ramp into the spot was raised and wholly scratches the bottom of your car, unless you drive a truck. When I asked if something could be done about it, the landlord, literally, yelled at me and said that it wasn’t his problem and that the owners would be the only ones with jurisdiction to fix it. When I asked him to give me the owners number, he yelled at me that he would never give me their number and that (verbatim) ‘this conversation is over”.
I don’t mind the crappy apartments because I was the one who chose to live there. However, the INCREDIBLY RUDE service was inexcusable.
Be warned. rude. rude. rude.
