Do yall got somebody on Saturday to pick up packages.

I’m so disappointed within this organization because it had me waist my time. SOMES allowed me to sign up for a volunteer opportunity today 11/11 in there clothing room area at 61 O street NW but when I got there the building was close. I’m kind of frustrated because I spent $24 on a uber and they should have not allowed anyone yo sign up if they knew they wasn’t going to be open. Also, when looking at the website they mention that they are open but that is also inaccurate information. It’s very misleading for people coming to volunteer and those that may need to use the services.

I would just like to let the record show that I have lived at 4111 Kansas Ave NW #KansasHouse now for 15 months or so. The only thing nice & genuine about the Kansas House is Mr. Will, who is a resident and also night monitor staff. He is the only good memory when I move which will be soon that I will have to say about 4111 Kansas Ave NW. Mr. Will is just the coolest elderly spirit you will cross paths with on the journey if you happen upon this review and still need to move to 4111 Kansas Ave NW for a last resort type of thing!!!! It has been trash! No I am not a Washingtonian so they way that I relay a message may not be interpreted by some as normal, but don't move here is what this entire review is saying! The funny part is I read the reviews before I moved here and didn't take heed to them, they were all accurate and factual. They are always complaining about being short on staff, but I wonder why... it's probably because they're overworked and they probably truly know that for everything required of them that they may be underpaid. In a short time I have seen more than one property manager, and the replacement does nothing more than the last, except collect a paycheck sit in the office with the door closed and go home. Don't allow the glam of the building and new kept grounds appeal to you, because it is a façade to cover up failure to fix and maintain, a cover up for poor property management, a cover up for short staffing that causes no maintenance or preventative maintenance to occur. I have never lived in any apartment community or setting where you don't even see the maintenance staff come and replace the A/C filters every month or even every 3 months... in my June of 2023 to current ( 9/30/2024 ) tenancy, I have only had a maintenance man come to change them once, and it does not state in my lease agreement that I am responsible for their replacement. I live in one of the penthouse units and I have had nothing but the worst experiences when it comes to my unit and deficiencies! I've had a hole in my wall since the third day I moved in that I did not cause, from another broken something inside the unit that fell from the roof and could had killed or severely injured one of my family members or myself had we been in the bathroom when it occurred. My wash machine broke almost two weeks ago, and they still haven't fixed it! The property manager who I'm not going to name, for her own safety or privacy stood in my face and basically lied, telling me that they had to order a part for my washer. Deep down I felt the lie, because my thought was how would they know the washer needs a gasket or anything when no one has come in to assess what is causing it not to work correctly. They have monthly inspections of your unit, and walk around invading your privacy in real life even though you do sign the agreement at move-in which is bogus. Each month that they come, upon entry to your apartment they ask if the issues from last month are still deficient or broken, knowing good and well that they are because you all know that you have not sent a working soul to fix it or anything else! Then you always see the purple shirts of the S.O.M.E staff every Friday or every other and I honestly don't know their purpose besides like maybe sweeping and cleaning common areas or just all sitting in the common area talking... doing nothing! TRASH is what S.O.M.E.'s property management and upkeep is! So if you're on a waiting list it might be GOD saving you from the stress and bad living circumstances that you could encounter if you were here! IJS
