Thank you this was my thought about this comment too, obviously lesson learned. As someone else commented, the amount of corporate apartment bootlicking/defending on this post has been astonishing haha

I’m saying! Thank you lol

I’d say move but living next to a fucking gym I think you can do far worse. Seems “luxury” doesn’t equate to quiet.

UDR sucks ass. Good luck dealing with them.

Shocking how many corporate apartment bootlickers there are in this sub.

I began wearing ear plugs in college when I lived with some loud roommates. I never looked back after that. Now they’re as vital as groceries to me

did you graduate from the school of hard knocks too?

Gentrification at its finest

Luxury trash!

Move. Lived in that building during its flood after a shooting and they were reluctant to support or pay out tenants even then - they’re not going care about your trash compactor disturbances. (NBC4 has a report they did on Capitol View on 14th from 2020 about the flood and poor management)

See if they will let you move to another unit.

>bringing the flavors of Burma, Vietnam, Thailand

As soon as I read that, I'm like "Burmese owners" just as you later confirmed.

Nothing ground breaking, it's just when one type of ethnic food with a small footprint in our area gets lumped with other big boys, the owners are rightfully platforming. Hopefully Lao and Burmese food become big players here too.

Ask about locations of elevators, dumpsters, stairwells, before signing a lease. Renting 101 lol

So you are suggesting they either a.) threaten the building or b.) lie to the building?

Interesting.

When I moved in I asked about trash location / services.

You only make the mistake once.

Hey hey I’m in Takoma Park! Not a gamer though. My thought is libraries, and it looks like there are some meetups (this is the first one I found, there might be more). There’s also, or at least pre-pandemic there were, board game meetups at Tastee Diner in downtown Silver Spring. I don’t know how recent this info is here. Hope this helps!

My brother lived in a penthouse with his wife next to the elevator shaft and started sleeping with earplugs the entire time he lived in that building. Then moved and was glad to not wear ear plugs anymore.

Yeah what kind of idiot rents an apartment before asking "is there a trash compactor on the other side of this wall?"

Enjoy the luxury?

In some cases, a management company will let to you to a comparable unit in the same building.

Nothing sounds broken here except for you. Buy ear plugs and a sound machine and start looking for your next apartment.

Ear plugs.

They aren’t going to move the trash compactor.

It’s really a question that should have been asked before signing the lease.

Move.

It’s really solid, I used to work near there and would go at least 91st a week.
