Apartment Review for Capitol East Apartments - Washington, DC

THIS PLACE SUCKS. YES, THE RENT IS CHEAP AND THE LOCATION IS GREAT; HOWEVER, EVERYTHING ELSE IS WRONG. AS MENTIONED IN SEVERAL OTHER POSTS,LACK OF WATER IS A CONTINUING ISSUE IN THIS BLDG. I HAVE LOST COUNT AS TO HOW MANY TIMES THE WATER HAS BEEN CUT OFF W/O NOTICE. LAST YEAR, I SPENT SEVERAL DAYS IN A HOTEL TO ENSURE THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO SHOWER BEFORE HEADING TO WORK. THE COMMOM AREAS OF THE BUILDING ARE FILTHY. THE STAIRWELLS HAVE NEVER BEEN CLEANED IN THE 4 1/2 YEARS I HAVE LIVED THERE. ROACHES ARE EVERYWHERE... OFTENTIMES IN THE HALLS, ELEVATOR AND LAUNDRY ROOM. THE MAINTENANCE MAN IS FRIENDLY BUT INCOMPETENT. A LIVING NIGHTMARE. I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO VACATE AT THE END OF THE MONTH!
