A once great building, now troubled.

First, it should be noted that until a couple months ago the Argonne was called the Park Plaza - the ownership is still the same so those reviews may be worth perusing.

With the many amenities, great newly renovated apartments, unparrelled views, and fantastic location, this should be among the best apts in Washington - unfortunately in light of recent conditions I cannot wholeheartedly recommend the Argonne at this time.

I have been here several months. The managers who I had to deal with when leasing were laughably incompetant, unprofessional, and shockingly rude and condesceding. This group was (deservedly) fired. The new managers seem more professional, but problems remain.

-The level of security provided by the managment has decreased over the past year.

-There is a serious rodent (rat) problem on at least the first couple floors. That odd smell in the lobby? - guess what it is!

-Many code violations

Although I havent dealt with it much directly, many others have noted the highly combative nature of the management, and their cut-throat adherence to the bottom line is apparent. I hold out hope that they will come to address the above concerns, but these issues have only gotten worse since ive been here.

I will note that Ive been quite happy with the maintenance staff.
