Apartment Review for Barac Company - Washington, DC

I live in a condo building located next to a Barac Co. apartment in NW DC. The apartment building is the most poorly managed, disguesting property I've ever seen. I've visited third-world countries, including places in Africa and India. The conditions of Barac properties rank right up there with some of the areas the untouchables lie in India. The building next door to us is a filthy, poorly maintained, rat infested poor excuse for a place to live. It's filled with drug dealers who operate right out of their apartments. Despite numerous complaints from area residents, Barac has done NOTHING to remediate this situation and we're trying to take them to court. The property is a public health hazard. Residents there tell me they sometimes see rats as big as house cats running through their halls. In addition, the Barac company doesn't even maintain regular trash pick-up. Instead, they just let the trash pile up around our alley and sidewalk, creating yet another harbour for rats, mice, and roaches. I don't know how this company has been allowed to continue to operate. I lived in Aspen Hill for several years in a Grady Management property. They were, overall, pretty good. All their properties were in decent condition, well-maintained and clean. They were far from perfect, but for what I paid, I was happy enough and never felt unsafe.
