This is a historic building in the Little Tokyo Arts District area with great, responsible guests who are self-sufficient. Professional cleaners come daily.

4. Minor maintenance (changing light bulbs, replacing batteries in smoke detectors, turning on heater)

5. Coordinating access for contractors, handymen, potential residents

6. Posting notices when necessary

7. Moving or rearranging light furniture when necessary

You will be required to submit a monthly time sheet.
