Absolutely. If you based your view of who lives in DC off of the commenters in this sub, you'd think the whole city is a bunch of Republicans who want police to euthanize homeless people, mandatory minimums for every crime, and corporations to be able to fuck anyone over who doesn't hire a $700 an hour attorney to read their lease.

I would just ask them to transfer your lease to another unit. Perhaps they will chip in for movers.

I also made this mistake in the past— now I make sure to inquire about building layout if it’s not on the website.

All glitz and no glamor.

It means granite countertops.

What would your solution be?

It means granite countertops in the kitchen.

This is the most reasonable solution. Asking them to turn off or move the trash compactor is unreasonable, as it would impact the entire building.

Honestly just put in some bike lanes to get rid of street parking and a lot of them will bail. Conservatives hate cities.

I’d reach out to the DC office of the tenant advocate (https://ota.dc.gov/node) to understand any recourse you can take. If the noise is high enough there might be DC code being violated or a civil penalty that could be levied. Also I’d contact your local ANC (https://www.anc1b.org/) to make sure they are aware of issues in your building. The local ANC has to approve all zoning in the district and has a lot of influence with the companies that build these new apartment buildings.

I lived in a condo. One of the owners refused to pay his dues because the trash room was next door to him. When the condo board took him to court, he countered that they need to move the trash room.
The judge asked, "where was the trash room when you bought the place?" Of course, it was there, so the guy knew what he was getting into. The judge dismissed his countersuit and forced the sale of his condo if he didn't pay up immediately. He didn't, so it was auctioned off.

UDR is awful, I'm glad I moved. Loved the building I was in but hated management.

Bootlicking? Weird way to describe giving you a reality check, but OK.

It was pretty awful the last time I tried it. Now Grazie Grazie on the other hand, which was started by one of the original Taylor Gourmet guys, is excellent.

Air pods etc with sleep sounds playlist or Noise machine? We’ve been using this for the last four years; it’s a lifesaver.

>And they asked what to do… I responded.
Your response was what to do next time--it doesn't answer their question about what to do THIS time, as it's already happened.
Unless your response involves an unsaid message to also travel back in time.

Yes! These buildings shine but are basically trash. Or not yet, but IMO, they won't be around in a few decades . Badly built

Some on here might be tired of my defense of historic DC buildings, mostly in 20009 , some in 20008, and some in Capitol Hill .
New construction has so many problems! Built with cheap materials and workmanship.
Upstairs neighbors, street (bad windows), trash chute, or other annoying building related noise .
The only noise I can hear from my 1906 condo are the kids in recess behind my building . And I love it !
I actually lived 6 years at 16th and U St nearby . Next to busy bus stop. Very quiet . Built in 1888

Just because someone has a different opinion than you on a situation doesn't make them a bootlicker
