PHOTO GALLERY: THE GOOD AND BAD
Many residents have a love/hate relationship with 3003 Van Ness.
On the one hand, it has a great location near the metro, a large outdoor pool, and spacious apartments with hardwood floors.
On the other hand, the company that manages the building, Equity Residential, takes advantage of its tenants at every opportunity — refusing to do critical maintenance of the building, often failing to provide adequate heat, air conditioning and hot water, having only minimal security measures despite rising crime, demanding illegally rent increases (until the tenants association put a stop to it), and pursuing residents who protest the company’s policies in court.
Because the goods are so good, and the bads are so bad, we present them side-by-side in the visual montage below.
