During the week of August 28, 2023, residents of 3003 Van Ness complained about the smell of gasoline in the G2-level garage and in a stairwell of the West building.
The DC Fire Department investigated and found a leaking drum in the loading dock of 3003 Van Ness. Efforts were made to soak up the leaking substance. The DC Hazmat unit has been notified.
Equity Residential management failed to remediate the spill prior to the long Labor Day weekend, during which the loading dock door was left open to allow fumes to escape the building. Management has not told residents whether the situation poses a fire safety hazard and has not announced its timeline for cleaning up the spill.
