I have lived in this complex since 1999, and I can say prior to 2001, it was a decent place to live. However, the sale of the complex to a third party and the subsequent transition of the buildings into subsidized units for section 8 tenants and recent releasees from area mental hospitals makes it a dangerous and unacceptable place for anyone considering to sign a lease here. There is little effective security, so crime is up...there is little cooperation from resident relations and maitenance, so facility repair is down. In general, the buildings are filthy, noisy, populated by individuals most likely involved in criminal activity, and falling into a pitiful state of disrepair. The elevators often do not work, leaving residents stuck between floors or having to walk up and down the 8 flights to thier units. There are two HUGE law suits pending now in DC Court, one in which the tenants who were renting at the time of the sale of the building are suing to challenge the legality of the sale itself, the other in which a seperate group of tenants are suing on the grounds that the management has failed to provide them with safe and adquate housing as required by their leases. As a result, management is usually hostile or unresponsive when a tenant needs assistance. It is ashame that such a nice community has been utterly destroyed. The complex was in a great location convenient to the Hill and to downtown DC, but management and the DC government have turned it into the PJs.
