The Van Ness South Tenants Association today sent a letter and report to Equity Residential general manager Dan Burkes about the conditions of the laundry rooms at 3003 Van Ness. The report, which focuses on the west building, documented numerous problems.
The letter states:
“In recent years, Equity Residential has made little effort to adequately maintain the laundry rooms and has taken no responsibility for the washing machines and dryers, which are owned by an outside vendor. As a result, the machines are frequently in disrepair, and the laundry rooms often have dirty floors, lint, construction debris, frequent leaks and standing water, as well as large holes in the plaster walls. Some of the machines are not properly anchored to the floors, and the dryer vents are not properly connected to the exhaust shafts in the walls.”
