This used to be a very nice building. I lived there for 14 years before bailing out last November. Everything you read in the other bad review is all true. The latest trauma is what happens to the neighborhood every Saturday night when crowds of teenagers run rampant. Google "Navy Yard curfews" and see what you get. It's cheap for a reason.

Do not move in into this place. It is terrible. They misrepresent the building. They don’t announce the hidden fees which you end up paying when moved in. Hidden fees are for gas and electric in the communal spaces. Electric bill for communal space exceeds my personal electric bill twice - and I work from home and have TV and electricity on during the whole day.
This is insane! You end up paying for all the people who don’t want to watch TV at their homes and come to the lounge area. TV in the... lounge area is on and working 24/7.
Leasing office treats you terribly. They avoid any sort of issues and “play ball” once you come with On my way! Issue. Building manager is absolutely rude and her client management skills are non-existent.
The team never knows what is your GL balance in terms of rent balances. The GL can have erroneous charges. Or the leasing team “forgets” to post any discounts like free month and you have to be diligent and check everything to the penny.
Terrible terrible building.

This is a property that I would not recommend for anyone. The quality of living has significantly decreased within the last four years of me living here. While the cost of living there has increased significantly, along with utilities, the amenities available do not correlate with cost.
