Avoid This Building at All Costs
I live at Rosslyn Towers and am having a terrible experience with management and overall living conditions. The biggest issue is the constant, excessive construction noise that makes the apartment nearly unlivable during regular hours. This has been going on for months with no meaningful resolution from management.
Despite multiple complaints, management’s only response is to acknowledge the noise but do nothing to fix it. Under Virginia law, tenants can break a lease if the living conditions... become uninhabitable, but they refuse to honor this and dismiss my valid claims. They insist I have no right to leave without penalty, even though they fail to resolve the problem.
When I ask for fair options, their “solution” is to either move to another unit at a higher rent or accept their strict move-out term, completely ignoring their failure to maintain a livable environment. Communication is slow and unhelpful, and they show no genuine concern for tenants' rights or comfort.
If you’re looking for a place where management listens and respects its residents, this is not it. The building is fine, but how they handle problems makes it not worth the stress. Additionally, there is excessive noise from 8 am to 4 pm almost daily, even on Saturdays.
The on-site management team has been unhelpful when it comes to anything beyond leasing and has admitted they have no information about the construction timeline. In fact, when I inquired last week, a leasing agent explicitly stated, "We don’t know anything about the construction or when it will be finished." Meanwhile, I have confirmed with a county representative that the construction permits are open-ended, meaning the project is likely to extend beyond fall 2025 and could last into spring 2026 due to inevitable delays.
I have reached out multiple times with further questions and concerns, yet nothing has been done to address them. If you truly prioritized resident satisfaction, you would provide transparent communication and viable solutions instead of empty reassurances.
For anyone considering living here: If you value peace, quiet, and responsive management, do not move into this building. The living conditions and treatment of tenants make it an entirely unacceptable place to call home.
From what I can see, Dittmar Company has similar issues in other properties. Do not move to any Dittmar property,
