I adore my 1920s building! The next time I move will be to Congressional Cemetery.

I live in the building too, and we almost rented on your floor when we moved in 5+ years ago. Thankfully we didn't, it seems like all the issues you hear about are 4th floor and lower. I'm sorry this is happening to you.

One of our fellow tenants in the building works in the DC office of the tenant advocate, I don't know their name but I did see them in the last week. They mentioned offhand sometime last year how our building, relatively speaking, has few complaints. But I'm sure that doesn't provide any solace when the trash compactor starts up at 1am. Anyways, you should definitely reach out to them. They'll let you know legally where you stand.

Denise Krebb, is that you?

Because this is the guy who is currently drafting the legislation against us.

What kind of food do you like, OP? You need to narrow it down a bit by food and area. Have a good run!

That's how it worked with my last move. It was during the pandemic, so no one involved wanted me touring a stranger's apartment. I knew the layout (I already lived in the building) and was going to move in tour or not. But the apartment manager gave me the keys when the apartment was ready so I could tour it on my own. He gave me the lease to sign after I saw it.

My recommendation is to find a marathon that isn't for profit and doesn't disrupt the city!

That was a few blocks over on 6th: https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/crime/five-fetuses-found-at-home-of-anti-abortion-activist-dc-police-say-lauren-handy-jonathan-darnell-clinic/65-f4399616-16be-4e99-9951-e7d299d7e8cd

Well, that's not where I was going with that lol. I agree with the main poster of the sub-thread - there was no reasonable level of due diligence that would have caught this unless you specifically asked, "Is this unit next to the trash chute?" You have 30-45 minutes maybe on your tour and you have to ask about pricing and availability, application requirements and process, move in fees, parking, etc etc. There are SO many things to cover, it's really not fair to say that OP should have known to ask about this very specific issue. Before seeing this post, I never would have known that this is something you need to ask about.

I had a similar situation once.I complained to management every time I was bothered by the trash compactor, called emergency maintenance out (the machine was borderline broken), the whole shebang. Nothing changed until I made a Facebook and Google review citing the problem, the "solution" they tried to implement, and that they were refusing to take action on this noise ordinance violation. Immediate change of tune!

Ugh. That’s this weekend. Hate how their route is so circular trapping a large portion of the city inside it.

Edit: but thanks for warning me. Spreading word to my neighbors. My one neighbor is now planning on evacuating Friday night so she can escape the circle (has plans Saturday).

I don’t think it’s that cut and dry. My apartment building in DC didn’t run the trash compactor at night. They kept the chutes open and never seemed to have an issue taking care of it. It’s worth pursuing that compromise as the OC of this thread suggested.

Can't they just rent space from the Bible Museum?

No thanks, stop trying to lower accountability for criminals who are terrorizing our community.

Every Tuesday and Thursday the show starts @8pm!

Thank you for proving the point. OP probably shouldn't have taken the agents' word at face value and done a little bit of research on their own into the conditions of the place they would be living in and spending a huge chunk of money on.

I'm sure they will keep that in mind for the future, and hopefully stop calling people bootlickers for telling them to use their noggin.

It also depends on how much of a homebody you are. If you just crash at home and go out a lot, then why bother with a lot of space?

If you stay home quite a bit, more space is appreciated.

If you don't go out as much, then you can live in a more remote neighborhood.

This also changes with age. Someone just out of college is just happy to have his own pad. Someone in his 40s needs more space but a quieter neighborhood.

I'm not a fan of that look. Magnolia really pushed this trend, along with shiplap.

why focus on just this one law/guy? hands off DC should be for all those ppl in congress who won’t let us do what we want

Or maybe we've lived through it and know how it works.

Glad to help. Hope it works out. :)

How is the building supposed to take care of its trash?

Your only real option here is to move. I know, I've had similar situations.
