8200W Apartments

This building has an old air conditioning system where the entire building can only be set to heating or cooling. The switch from heating to cooling will not occur until May 6th at the earliest despite the consistently warm weather for weeks. These apartments seem to trap heat too and as of writing this it is 80F in my apartment at 9:36PM. There is no heat coming from my a/c unit or anywhere else. It has been like this for weeks - consistently in the upper 70s or even low 80s all day and night,... especially if it isn't windy.

This is particularly frustrating because last year the switch to cooling was scheduled for mid-April, but was delayed to late April due to cold weather. We received multiple communications about this delay and it was no big deal since we had cool weather anyways. This year we have had pretty consistently warm and humid weather for weeks, and the only communication we've had was the recent announcement about the switch to cooling on May 6th. The announcement did not even mention any delay.

What clearer way is there for a property manager to demonstrate that they don't care about their residents? I voiced concern about this about 10 days ago through the apartment's app, but no response was received. Hopefully some negative reviews about this will encourage management to prioritize its residents' comfort over whatever was prioritized instead this year. Lee mas

Overpriced for what you get. The building is old with thin walls, drafty windows, and major noise issues. Management is unresponsive, rude, and neglectful. They charge extra fees for online payments, delay turning on AC, and closed the pool but still advertise it as an amenity. Packages are a nightmare—reception is slow and unhelpful. During a late-2024 heatwave, they switched to heating early, and my apartment hit 88°F—I nearly fainted. Worst of all, they’ve entered my apartment without notice,... violating Maryland law. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere! Lee mas

In early 2024, 8200 was sold by it's original owners to a new property management company that is unresponsive at best and neglectful at worst. The new management company disabled online payments, refused to turn on the air conditioning until mid-May and permanently closed the pool for no apparent reason. They have no website, no point of contact, and no online system for submitting maintenance requests. All they have done is removed the previous ownership's branding. This used to be a gem. How... the mighty have fallen. Stay far away. Lee mas

This is an inexpensive apartment for the location which is great however you are getting what you pay for. It is an old building with insects. You can only use either heat or AC and the building decides when in the year you can switch. Walls are very thin, you can hear the neighbors conversations. Also windows are very thin, you can hear everything going on outside. Parking pass is extremely expensive.

I live in this building because of the good location and the price is one of the lowest in the area, but I would not recommend living here. The building allows smoking, so my neighbor’s cigarette smoke seeps into my apartment, which is a serious health hazard. My throat is constantly irritated living in this building, and management has done very little to help me ask the neighbor to smoke outside. Their solution was to to put tape on my air vents (probably also another hazard) and spray air... freshener, which has not helped. Lee mas
