This apartment is driving me mad
July 9, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
During the period of changing to new elevators, I expected 3 out of 4 main elevators to run because they are changing them one by one. but the fact is, 40% of the time only 2 elevators are working, 40% time only 1 is working. Waiting time exceeds 5 minutes during busy hours.
They planed that the high-side freight elevator will be replaced by "the end of May", I guess in their calendar today is May 70th because there is still no sign of finishing up.
Water are out once per week in some cells. I ...
think it's because they have to shut the water off every time they get a new washer. A/C are out twice per month. I don't know why that happens though. Perhaps the A/C system is old and not in their "building update" plan.
The rent seems to be cheaper than other luxury apartments in Arlington, but be aware that the amenities is much higher because each floor share the bill. People tend to use much more than their need in such circumstances because the charge will be high no matter how much water/electricity/gas they use. Not to mention this apartment is not at a convenient location at all.
I'll be staying in VA for less than 9 month, so I still have to bare with this building for a while. But I'm so eager to move out.

Hi!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. We are so sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience while living at Quimby on 23rd.
It has been challenging for the community as we are undergoing renovations throughout the community. As you mentioned, due to the lack of service from our elevators, the decision was made to replace all six cars, and undergo a modification. As for the water shutoffs, like you mentioned, these are necessary for the renovations of apartment homes and installation of washers and dryers in all the apartments. The air conditioning and heating is challenging when you live in a two pipe system where you are not able to control the a/c and heat as you'd like. We do our best to provide a/c as early as possible but with the fluctuating temperatures it can be challenging.
If you would like to discuss your concerns in detail and I am not able to reach out to you, please give me a call at 703-418-3700 or email me at ...
