Eleven55 Ripley Apartamentos

Run, don’t walk away from signing a lease here. I’ve been a resident since 2018, and the decline is loudly visible. Dog poo litters the hallways. The smell of weed fills the building as soon as you walk in. Theft is commonplace, and rather than ensuring residents are safe, our latest lease includes an addendum that cameras are not guaranteed to work, so crime is not UDRs fault. So much for “luxury”.

Washing machines will randomly flood, and per UDR, this is caused by “cheap laundry detergent”,... to avoid legal responsibility.

It’s super easy for non residents to gain access to the building, since cameras “don’t work”, and the back door is ALWAYS propped open.

Building staff are so out of it, that they put an eviction notice on a residents door three months after he left the country in the middle of the night. The website still claims this is the TALLEST high rise in the area…and it hasn’t been for over a year. I can’t believe how trifling the management is.

Sadly, simple fixes that would make this place better are ignored. Hand sanitizer by the elevator is ALWAYS out. The TV is disabled 80% of the week. It can’t be that hard to ask staff to check on these daily, but they seem to be more preoccupied with meeting lease quotas. Lee mas

Here we go again. Received an email that the boilers are down meaning no hot water till repaired. This just 3 days after the HVAC systems went down so no heat. If you’re lucky enough to get hot water you probably had to let it run for 10 mins before it got hot or will only last a solid 10- which for hair wash days is not nearly enough. The staff is a mix of people who care and who don’t but either way it’s difficult to get in touch.

Unreasonably expensive doesn't begin to describe this place. The ceilings leak in any storm stronger than a drizzle, the smell of weed is so strong you can get a contact high from walking the hallways, the amenity fee is absurd considering half of the gym equipment is broken or cheap, the air conditioning constantly goes out in this "luxury" building. Do yourself a favor and find another place to live.

The only positives about this place are the cleaning crew, concierge staff, and the... maintenance staff (who've had to come to fix appliances regularly). They can't keep a concierge person longer than a few months, but somehow they seem to still be able to find decent people. Lee mas

I have lived at Eleven55 Ripley since November 2019. Almost immediately after moving in, I encountered a mouse in my unite. To date, I have had 5 separate mice encounters in my apartment - and I like on the top floor...

Each time, I have contacted the landlord but they failed to remedy the issue to date. They are unhelpful and my family and I continue to experience this stress amid a global pandemic.

I hope this post helps you as you search for a new apartment.

Did research before moving from California. Seemed perfect. It's a nightmare! From the 1st meeting w/ a leasing agent, it's been nothing but drama. Website showed a 6-month lease option, which doesn't exist. Showed the staffed the site & they laughed it off as a typo. Reviews said problems w/ the garage gate. It's been fixed, but is left open all day so anyone has access to the cars (lock your doors/windows). Don't bother paying for parking, since no cars are validated & people who don't live... here park for free. Homeless shelter around the corner, bus station next door, & metro behind the building. Transients are CONSTANTLY hanging around. Controlled entry is useless since main doors are left unlocked & anyone can just walk in. Staff turnover is so high that you never know who in on the payroll & who is just hanging out cuz it's dry/warm inside. Last month, 3 men were knocking on my door late at night looking for the drug dealer downstairs. Speaking of drugs, they are EVERYWHERE! People get high in the parking lot, hot box their apartments, and smoke throughout the buildings. Don't bother complaining. Management says to call the police, who told us not to call them & to call the property manager because it's legal in MD. Construction is shoddy & there is NO insulation between the floors. You hear EVERY STEP, even from dogs. AC goes out in the summer, heat goes out in the winter. Had to go 3 days w/ out a shower because of a plumbing issue, & we didn't even get a credit in our rent. Events are poorly planned and frequently cancelled/rescheduled/missing critical elements. This place is one bait & switch after another & I can' wait to leave! Lee mas
