This was the worst place I have ever lived. I lived at Reisterstown Square for one year; as soon as the lease was up, I was out. If I could have moved out sooner, I would have with out hurting myself. They don't enforce anything in the lease except if you do not pay your rent on time. Never mind that they don't come fix anything on time, or even respond to your request unless you call the regional office. Every day I had to step over other people's children to get into my apartment. Complained and nothing was ever done. The floor boards in the floors were horrible, the windows would rattle evertime the people above me would walk across the floor. I moved out a little over a month ago, and still have not received my security deposit. I wouldn't recommend anyone to move there, you will be mad at yourself for not checking into thing more.

THE FIGHT OF THEIR LIVES, TENANTS TAKE ON MULTI BILLION DOLLAR OWNERS Rent Strike Rally and Community Meeting Marbury Plaza Apartments 2300 Good Hope RD SE, Washington DC, 20020 Friday, October 4, 2008 Rally 5:00 pm ??? 7:00pm Community Meeting 7:00 pm Frustrated tenants of Marbury Plaza Apartments will participate in a Rent Strike Rally followed by a Community Meeting on Friday September 3, 2008. Confirmed attendees include DC Mayor Adrian Fenty, Director of DCRA Linda Argo, Ward 7 Councilmember Yvette Alexander, and Ward 8 Councilmember Marion Barry. Built in 1968, Marbury Plaza was once the jewel of the Anacostia. For many years the property yielded superbly kept common areas and grounds along with a management staff that provided extreme attentiveness to the residents needs. However today, tenants are forced to live with reductions in services, such as little or NO security, repetitive leaks and floods, loss of air conditioning and heat for days at a time and units infested with mold. These unhealthy conditions along with many others are the direct result of negligent ownership and management. As leaks turn into floods and floods into mold, management continues to offer band-aid repairs as a resolution to these life-threatening issues. Therefore The Marbury Plaza Concerned Tenants-Tenant???s Association (MPCTA) who represents the tenants in the 672 unit property have organized a mass Rent Strike as part of the preparation to take legal action against the owners, The Lightstone Group. Tenants also hope their efforts will help tenants experiencing the same conditions at Pinewood Chase in Suitland, MD and Belford Towers in Takoma Park, MD as both are also owned and managed by The Lightstone Group, LLC. Hundreds of residents of Marbury Plaza will be represented in full force to express their frustrations after the massive Rent Strike Rally. The tenants hope that their efforts will expedite what has been seen to this point as a lax response in enforcing fines and conducting re-inspections on DCRA???s behalf.. With other housing issues being so complex and multi-faceted, the Tenants Association has found it necessary to have an attorney represent the tenants at the Tenant Petition Process, Landlord and Tenant Court, as well as in a Civil Court lawsuit. MPCTA has also retained Melinda Maldonado for the Toxic Tort/ Personal Injury Class Action lawsuit. The Lightstone Group which was founded by Daivid Lichtenstein in 1988, posses a real estate portfolio that consist of residential, commercial, and hospitality properties. In the past year the company made some 8.5 billion dollars in acquisitions alone. The highlight being the acquisition of Extended Stay Hotels, located in 44 States and Canada. The Lightstone Group, which owns Marbury Plaza Apartments (Headquarters in NYC), also owns PRIME Outlets, Prime Realty Trust and Beacon Management (corporate office in Lakewood, NJ), the management company that manages Marbury Plaza.
