This is how residents today learned that they would have to start using their fobs in the elevator.

“Out of Order” should not be normal. It’s time for @VivmarkRes to treat its tenants right by keeping the elevators in working order at #3003VanNess.

Two out of the four elevators in the 11 story West building of #3003VanNess are out of service. The building is now managed by @VivmarkRes - a result of the merger between @EquityRes and Avalon Bay.

Only one elevator is currently working in the 11-story South building.

Residents of #3003VanNess in Washington DC reported last night that NONE of the four elevators in the 11-story West building were operating. The building is owned and managed by Equity Residential. @EquityRes @DC_DOB

It appears that one of the out-of-service elevators is back online.

Residents report that 2 of the 3 elevators in the South building are out of service, AND the other elevator is being used by movers. In other words, there are ZERO usable elevators for the residents of this 11-story building. @EquityRes @DC_DOB

The anti-TOPA provisions in the mayor's RENTAL Act will deprive many DC renters of the right to help determine the fate of their buildings. It will also accelerate the conversion of apartment buildings into quasi-public housing, harming seniors while it enriches the industry.

Another resident of is moving out due to chronic problems with the elevators at #3003VanNess. In an 11-story, 300+ unit building, outages are a huge inconvenience. @EquityRes ihas been extremely slow to fix the problem. @DC_DOB

Residents report that there is STILL no hot water at #3003VanNess, which is owned and operated by by Equity Residential. @EquityRes @DC_DOB

The tenant association today sent a letter to the DC Department of Buildings requesting clarification about elevator policy. Does DOB insist that only one elevator in an 11-story 300+ unit building must be working? static1.squarespace.com/stat…
