the current management is a disorganized mess. I do give them credit for having almost 24 hour desk coverage, although Gloria is the only one who knows a thing about the building and its tenants, not to mention that she is the only one who shows signs of consciousness.

The otherwise non functioning front desk employees are responsible for each apartments' set of access keys. Mine have been "misplaced" three times. This most recent incident has resulted in my landlord paying for a handyman to come to the building and not be able to enter into the apartment. The first two incidents I was able to forgive, but this last one just sent me over the edge. And in case anyone has seen them, a set of keys to my apartment is roaming around DC somewhere on the legs they grew.

Who knows what hours the building manager actually holds. Sometimes he is there, sometimes he isn't. All I'm asking for are normal business hours.

Moving out has also been a nightmare. The building has a crazy rule that no move ins or move outs can occur on weekends, so I chose a Wednesday to move, and reserved my elevator. The building manager, however, permitted another move out and yet another move in to occur the same day. When the reserved elevator was hi-jacked by a fellow tenant (who I can't really blame), the building manager wasn't there to resolve the problem, so the front desk employee attempted and failed to straighten things out. My Uhaul rental became completely obsolete.

That being said, my particular apartment hasn't had any kinds of pest problems, although I hear frequent complaints from other tenants. It was an apartment near GW and that's all I needed for two years. Needless to say, I couldn't be happier that I've left the Bon Wit in my past.
