K&B show a complete lack of care for their tenants and property. Everything is old, on the verge of breaking and run down. They refuse to call back to even discuss an issue, eve...

Editorial review from Citysearch 1/28/2013

Yes, I have enjoyed my eight years here at El Dorado mostly because of the late ABE and now great manager and friendly Rory. The building is kept up beautifully + the caring of Rory re/my health etc.... is greatly appreciated. \r more

Editorial review from Citysearch 1/8/2013

I have no idea why these folks get such bad reviews. We have been living in one of their properties to over 15 years and have always been treated with respect and dignity. Steve and Paul feel like family to us. We respect them and in turn, they respect us. That's how the world works, folks. You get back what you give out. I'm sure they must get plenty of fools renting from them. Rock on, Steve and Paul! more

Editorial review from Citysearch 6/13/2012

I can't believe all the negative reviews that I see on this page. I've rented with K&B for over 5 years and I honestly couldn't be happier with them. I have had to call for service numerous times over the years, and I was always treated with the upmost respect. Whatever the problem was, they always dispatched maintenance out to my apartment the next day (or whenever I could be available). Any issues that required immediate resolution were taken care of the same day. I've talked to many people in my building, and they have all had similar good experiences with K&B. Steven Kelman is one of the coolest, down to Earth people you could ever want for a landlord, believe me. I simply can't believe all the YouTubish like negative reviews that I see posted on this site. It certainly hasn't been my experience with K&B at all. more

Five stars. The property is nice and 6/6/2012

Five stars. The property is nice and quiet, well maintained. The apartment mangers are very friendly. Any problems are attended to promptly. I love living here, Valley Vista Apts. more

Very satisfied 5/18/2012

K and B management are great. We were very scared when we heard they were going to take over the management here but we were pleasantly surprised indeed. They are fair, pragmatic and actually human!!!! It really is not so hard to follow the rules - just sayin' - many folks do not know this unfortunately. Duh! Being in management is not so easy, please know. Everyone seems to need something all the time and they try very hard to accommodate regardless They treat fairly and with respect and contrary to the post below - DO do their best to get to everyone's request on time. All 150 units of us here are more than satisfied with this company so that should tell people out there something about them. more

Good MGMT 5/16/2012

Every one here has treated me good. Never had not one problem. The management is great!! more

Very attentive 5/8/2012

I've been a tenant for 5 years at Jaranda Apts and it's been a wonderful living experience. We needed a bigger place so the management allowed us to move from 2-bedroom to 3-bedroom with no problem. The management team is very attentive and the tenants are friendly. I love this place. more

Pool area is beautiful 4/16/2012

Roney is a great manager. When you put a note in his box, the next day he handles it. Since he's been manager the building is kept clean and the pool area is beautiful. more

Terrible Rude Unprofessional Service 4/20/2011

K & B Property Management and Paul Bronstein are terrible. Paul is extremely rude, arrogant, obnoxious, and unprofessional. Just go to his office and it will be clear enough. It's disgusting. What a slob. He is such a cheap ass and he will fight you on every penny. Stay away from any building that they are involved with and be careful because he will target you if he knows you complain. He should be arrested for the things that he does. Karma will get him one day and you don't want to be around him when it does ... Also, disregard those bogus nicey nice posts about them, because it is so obvious that it is them posting good things about themselves. No one would ever write anything like that about these guys ... I wish that there was a negative rating because he would get the worst !! more

Past tenant (one star is to many for K&B Property Mgmt.) 3/27/2011

I have had the unfortunate experience of living in an apartment building managed by K&B. Specifically, the Clifton Apartments in Beverly Hills. This building is managed by Ron Henry. A ""building manager"" who manages to be always unavailable and does nothing. Tenants have to perform management duties, like getting the washing machines fixed themselves and empty overflowing trash receptacles. Mr. Henry has harassed tenants to ""rearrange"" their parking spaces, as well as attempting to take parking spaces away, (""it's the landlord's right"", according to Mr. Henry) long after the tenant has been using the assigned space. Interestingly, he lives with a woman who is just a ""friend"" (according to Mr. Henry), who got kicked out of her previous home. Astonishingly, she has her own parking spot and substantial storage space in the garage, while everyone else pays rent for such amenities. She even has the audacity to claim she is the ""Assistant Manager"" to tenants, although K&B does not pay or recognize her as such. To make matters worse, several tenants spoke with Mr Paul Bronstein (Owner & the ""B"" of K & B) and he did nothing about the situation, absolutely nothing. In fact, he sees nothing ""wrong"" with Mr. Henry's complete lack of competence and ineptitude. It is also worth mentioning that Mr. Henry makes it known that he gladly accepts tips for performing his job, for which he receives free rent and a stipend, as well as soliciting tenants for loans. He also asks female tenants out on dates and makes crude remarks to them. Hollywood could not write such a script. The building is old and often in need of repair. Fair enough, but for the rents they charge you would expect good work done in a timely manner. Not even close. Mr. Henry often doesn't do anything until the 3rd or 4th request. And then he hires unskilled handymen to do ""patch work"" that will need to be done several more times. I have extensive carpentry and construction experience and can tell you this is some of the worse ""work"" I have ever seen. I know for a fact that many respectable tenants have left this building precisely because of the lack of service, cleanliness and overall shoddy treatment they received while living here. What's worse is that if you take your concerns to Paul Bronstein you are not treated with the respect of a client paying good money for the space. Do not expect a return call from Paul or Steve Kelman (Co Owner of K&B), they don't deal with tenants directly. You will have to keep calling them and are lucky if you get past the gatekeeper. If you are fortunate enough to get their ear, you are made to feel like you are bothering them with your ""trivial problems."" K&B is, however, very much on top of making sure they raise the rents regularly. If my experience does not paint a picture of the fundamental lack of management skills, lack of basic decency and void in character by K&B Management, then I don't know what does. Living in this building is a complete fiasco, from the building manager to K&B owners. Given the lack of ethics and character displayed from the bottom of management to the top, you cannot expect a pleasant living experience from a property owned/managed by K&B property. more

Past Tenant 12/6/2010

The management of this company is very unprofessional and lacks understanding. Paul, the representative I spoke to, was extremely rude over the phone. He uses a condescending tone and speaks to his tenants like they don't deserve respect despite however polite you may be. In addition, the company is very slow to addressing major concerns of their tenants; during my stay we did not have hot running water FOR WEEKS. My roommate and I called numerous times to complain with no call back for an explanation or update on the situation. Lastly, the property was not in the best shape when we moved in; there were nails petruding from the floor where the carpet met the kitchen tiles, hoardes of termites would come out of the wall next to the screen door during hot days, and the support of our patio from the second story was suspect given the dip in the floor and visible dilapidation. more

Raving lunatic. 8/26/2010

I have spoken to Steve (the ""K"" of K & B) for years and things have always gone smoothly. I haven't asked for much and was even calm and understanding when the owner of the building's son cut the lock off of my storage unit and threw out all of the contents without notifying me! Unfortunately, Steve was on vacation when I called. Paul (the ""B"" of K & B) might be insane. He is a crazy lunatic who can and will easily rant on for 5 or 10 minutes about what a liar ""you and others like you"" are, I think as a means to intimidate and generally get rid of anyone with any issue. Very scary and, did I mention, crazy? The buildings are old and they have their share of problems. What can I say...if you don't want to deal with renters, get out of the apartment business. And if you are that angry, please stay off the road. No one, and I mean NO ONE, deserves his attempted humiliation and disrespect. There are better words, but I'm a lady. more

A BAD PLACE 6/12/2010

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND CHOOSE ANOTHER PLACE NO ETHICAL STANDARDS AT ALL! Pros: NOT MUCH Cons: MANAGEMENT, VERY RUDE, UNTRUTHFUL more

Yaaay K & B! BEST Property Management in Los Angeles! 5/26/2010

I have been living in an apartment they manage for four years, and am moving to another apartment also managed by K & B. Over the years I've had the ""regular"" problems, such as plumbing leaks or loose screens. ""Medium"" troubles - carpet worn-through in the hallway, bathroom floor mildewed, and BIG ones, over which they have no control, like being robbed. They have always responded in a way that made my family feel personally cared for, especially during tough times. Pros: Listen well, respond quickly Cons: I've not a clue. more

HANDS DOWN THE WORST 4/29/2010

The nastiest, rudest, most unprofessional, uneducated losers are Paul Bronstein & Brian Bronstein at this office. If you come upon one of their rentals, RUN. They do not attend to one's maintenance issues and it takes days before they return a call and when they do they fight you each step of the way. Pros: NASTY, IMCOMPETENT, UNPROFESSIONAL Cons: PAUL BRONSTEIN & BRIAN BRONSTEIN more
