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.

I've been a resident for nearly 2 years. I have a dog. I pay a monthly dog fee. The dog park is small, old, poorly maintained.
Although there is lots of roof space, the dog park is very small. The artificial turf is torn, well worn and smells bad after a light rain or in the hear of the day. There is a sprinkler system that's intended to clean the turf but it hasn't worked in the time I've been a resident. If my dog rolls on the turf when playing, I give him a bath. There are not... obstacles or climbing toys for the dogs. Only fake fire plug to pee on.
I was told a resident reported the condition and was told the irrigation system was off for the winter (its on the same water schedule as the pool). Management did not seem to address the fact that it was broken. And I guess the park only needs cleaning 5 months out of the year? You'd think they'd make it a point to clean it before they shut off the water and would have discovered for themselves it was not working.
Management has promised the turf would be pressure washed and checked for repairs. That did not happen.

Hi!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your honest feedback. I understand how important the bark park is for you and your four legged pup. The bark park was power washed last week as it was overdue. We have ordered parts for the irrigation... system and will have that functioning as soon as possible. As for the turf, we are looking at a few options and will update the community when we have that finalized.
If you have additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone at 703-418-3700 or email at martin.pena@dweckproperties.com.
Best,

Dive into the ultimate thrill ride of apartment living! From the perpetually broken elevators that provide your daily stair-climbing workout to the 'great amenities' like personal saunas in every unit (courtesy of the perpetually broken AC), this place is a rollercoaster of excitement. Maintenance keeps things interesting with their gaslighting that overwhelming gas odors are normal, while the built-in morning alarms (malfunctioning fire alarms) guarantee you never oversleep. But wait, there's... more! Management excels at prioritizing superficial improvements to justify rent increases that exceed inflation, all while the parking garage remains a constant hazard – broken, unsafe, and with sewage flooding - yet payments keep climbing. If you're a thrill-seeker who enjoys living life on the edge (both literally and figuratively), welcome to your new home!
In all seriousness, I have never been so excited to move out of an apartment. To be fair, the only redeeming qualities of this complex are the price, size, location, and noise insulation. If you are in a bind and are okay with all of the preceding complaints, then this is a good deal. However, there are several complexes in the surrounding area that offer comparable rates with apparent better experiences. And it’s clear that management is aware of that - they asked on two separate occasions if there was any possibility for us to reconsider vacating our unit. Maintenance is very responsive to minor issues, but they have frequently tried to convince us of what may be gas leak is normal. there have been several alleged security risks that the complex has allegedly refused to acknowledge. The fire alarms present a major safety issue. They malfunction so much that most resident ignore them, which will be extremely dangerous should a real emergency occur.
If management spent time addressing these complaints instead of focusing on superficial and unnecessary improvements like rebranding and remodeling the lobby, this apartment would be fantastic. Until management refocuses their priorities, I cannot in good conscience recommend this apartment to anyone.

I have lived here since 2020 and I have now had enough, they increased my rent last year by +10% for no new amenities and the same old falling apart crap.
Frankly this place needs to be torn down and rebuilt by a company that will actually manage and maintain it.
The leasing staff leaves a lot to be wanted from their attitude and response time. Front desk staff is amazing as is the maintenance staff but the “management” side of the building (if you could even call it that) is incredibly... inept.

Dogs constantly barking on the sun deck multiple hours a day every single day until midnight, you will not be able to take a rest or sleep regularly, and when you wake up there won't be hot water or the fire department will be pulling people out of the elevators. It's the worst building I have ever lived in.

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 martin.pena@dweckproperties.com
