New story in the @wcp finds that "the owners of 3003 Van Ness St. NW owed the District more than $1.2 million in unpaid fees for more than 700 violations since 2018, the most of any residential building in D.C during that time frame." #EquityResidential

Residents of #3003VanNess in Washington DC reported last night that NONE of the four elevators in the 11-story West building were operating. The building is owned and managed by Equity Residential. @EquityRes @DC_DOB

[Van Ness South Tenants Association @vnsta3003]

It appears that one of the out-of-service elevators is back online.

[Van Ness South Tenants Association @vnsta3003]

Residents report that 2 of the 3 elevators in the South building are out of service, AND the other elevator is being used by movers. In other words, there are ZERO usable elevators for the residents of this 11-story building. @EquityRes @DC_DOB

[Van Ness South Tenants Association @vnsta3003]

Residents report that 3 out of 4 elevators in the West building are currently out of service at 3003 Van Ness. Equity Residential manages the building. @EquityRes

[Van Ness South Tenants Association @vnsta3003]

Residents report that as of 10:00 am this morning, NONE of the three elevators in the 11-story South building at 3003 Van Ness are in service. We have experienced serious problems with elevators for years. Equity Residential manages the building. @EquityRes

[Van Ness South Tenants Association @vnsta3003]

Residents report ANOTHER fire alarm in the South building of 3003 Van Ness, operated by Equity Residential. @EquityRes

[Van Ness South Tenants Association @vnsta3003]

Residents report that NONE of the 3 elevators in the 11-story South building are working at 3003 Van Ness, operated by Equity Residential. Yesterday, only 1 of 4 elevators in the West building was operating. @EquityRes

[Van Ness South Tenants Association @vnsta3003]

After two and a half years of complaining to Equity Residential about broken doors at #3003VanNess, we have sent a letter to CEO Mark Parrell to request that he take immediate action to provide adequate security for his customers. @EquityRes https://t.co/jX73zdE9yN

"But in the eyes of Mayor Muriel Bowser and the D.C. Council, TOPA is a burden on developers and delays the timeline of transactions. In other words, tenant rights are always expendable in the name of landlord profits."

The anti-TOPA provisions in the mayor's RENTAL Act will deprive many DC renters of the right to help determine the fate of their buildings. It will also accelerate the conversion of apartment buildings into quasi-public housing, harming seniors while it enriches the industry.

[CM Janeese Lewis George @CMLewisGeorgeW4]

This RENTAL Act does not create balance. It is an abandonment of our most vulnerable citizens. We can and must fix it.

[Van Ness South Tenants Association @vnsta3003]

Another resident of is moving out due to chronic problems with the elevators at #3003VanNess. In an 11-story, 300+ unit building, outages are a huge inconvenience. @EquityRes ihas been extremely slow to fix the problem. @DC_DOB

[Van Ness South Tenants Association @vnsta3003]

Residents report that there is STILL no hot water at #3003VanNess, which is owned and operated by by Equity Residential. @EquityRes @DC_DOB

[Van Ness South Tenants Association @vnsta3003]

Residents report no hot water this morning in either building at #3003VanNess. @DC_DOB

[Van Ness South Tenants Association @vnsta3003]

The tenant association today sent a letter to the DC Department of Buildings requesting clarification about elevator policy. Does DOB insist that only one elevator in an 11-story 300+ unit building must be working?
