  Poorly maintained building and shabbily built. You can hear your neighbors from every side and the fire alarm goes off randomly yet regularly. The management are completely non-responsive, they just don’t care.

  I used to love living in this building, but lately the constant fire alarms have made the building unlivable. New management took over the building, and it's still uncertain if these alarms will be fixed (fingers crossed). They go off at random times of the day (sometimes 6am, 12pm, 8pm, etc.), for 10+ minutes without notice, and they are PIERCINGLY loud. My neighbor even has a newborn whose hearing might be affected by these constant alarms. I've never lived in an apartment building with this much of a disruptive environment. Until this is fixed, I cannot recommend renting a unit in this building.

  Do you enjoy constant false fire alarms at all hours, urine and feces throughout the common areas, overflowing trash cans for days, sketchy individuals congregating around the building, and abandoned furniture sitting outside for weeks—all while paying premium rent (with a generous increase year after year)!? If so, this is the building for you! Located in prime Miracle Mile, 5550 Wilshire boasts the most annoying fire alarms in its class, going off 25+ times this year alone! And it doesn’t just perform during business hours. Oh no. Residents are treated to exciting late-night showtimes like 2:20 a.m. and 3:00 a.m., plus plenty of daytime performances and numerous encore presentations to make absolutely sure everyone in your household is WIDE AWAKE! Management insists they are “working hard to resolve the issue” and that “resident comfort is top of mind”—but who needs comfort when you can have this much excitement!? Speaking of management, the building also boasts an incredible team that excels at ignoring emails, allowing building maintenance to dip to comical levels, AND ensuring that automated emails explaining how the fire alarm situation is totally improving make it to your inbox every single time with whatever nebulous reason happens to be on the menu that day! Curious about cleanliness? Don’t worry—5550 Wilshire has you covered! To make sure your living experience is as stimulating as possible, the building also features dog urine and feces strewn throughout common areas and elevators, ensuring your senses are always invigorated! Couple that with beautifully overflowing trash areas, and you’ll never have to wonder whether your sense of smell is still working. And don’t forget the abandoned furniture outside, thoughtfully left in place for weeks at a time to collect even more urine and feces and give the property that distinctive, carefully curated curb appeal you simply can’t put a price on. Except, apparently, you can. And that price goes up every year. 5550 Wilshire — They Make Sure Your Days Are Awful™ Call today and schedule a tour! TL;DR: Do you love 2 a.m. fire alarms, laughable cleanliness, overflowing trash, neglected maintenance, and unresponsive management—all at a premium price that keeps going up? Then congratulations: 5550 Wilshire may be the luxury living experience you’ve been searching for!

  Not great... 1) Fire alarm goes off like every other day, blaring through the building and it's always a false alarm. Seems like they test the fire alarm to see if it works many times too -- um I think it's working since it goes off every 5 seconds 2) Crappy tech. If you autopay via Bilt, you will still get emails saying your rent is late. Auto messages with lease renewal offers don't open. Also, you almost never get a reply back when emailing the apartment. You need to drag yourself to the office. 3) Elevator breaks down often The good.. 1) Some staff are nice. 2) Fair rent prices

  ***look at the most recent reviews*** You will see management has gone downhill, you will experience fire alarms non stop making this place unlivable, there is feces/urine in garage/sidewalks. Update 9/3/26: more fire alarm testing scheduled for 9/4/26 Update 9/2/26: fire alarm testing, all day 8/29/26: Another fire alarm at 2:22 AM? This seems to be happening every few weeks. And every time, your team says you’re going to speak with the retailers and you have inspectors going in and out of our units regularly (at least 2x a month) but we are still experiencing fire alarms in the middle of a normal person’s sleep/recovery time. We have had over a dozen fire alarms this summer. This happening consecutively leads me to believe your team isn’t doing anything. After a dozen of useless apology emails, I am genuinely asking, where is the improvement? In addition, there is poor maintenance around the building- trash, dog feces and urine everywhere. Homeless right in front of exits on Ridgeley. Loads of trash sitting on the sidewalks from people moving out, for WEEKS. I can understand a day or so, but your team lets this sit on the property for WEEKS. We have to walk on the street to avoid the amount of trash sitting near the gate. The furniture left behind movers attracts homeless and animal feces all over it. For a place to charge luxury prices, this is becoming grimier and presenting a lot of SAFETY CONCERNS.. How are the residents going to be compensated for this? Please do not offer bagels and coffee as a trade for disrupting our sleep and nervous systems.
