“Major dissatisfaction with the conduct of the property manager, Olivia Jenkins at the Platform. While the majority of the staff has been exceptional, I have observed a pattern of targeted behavior from Ms. Jenkins since my initial residency. Over the course of my 27-month stay, I have experienced veiled yet harmful actions directed at me, including an incident where she called a towing company just 12 hours ago. Furthermore, I would like to note that my vehicle had been parked in the same spot for over three months without issue, until it was conveniently towed today. This occurred after I had moved out and relocated across the street. I find it particularly convenient that a paper trail has now been created, citing the removal of two other cars from the same spot in the past couple of days. Additionally, it is disheartening that the corporate entity does not seem to address or acknowledge the treatment of its residents by Ms. Jenkins. Several residents in the four buildings of the Platform have recounted their negative encounters with her, with one individual being stuck in an elevator and receiving no concern or assistance from Olivia. Furthermore, reliable sources have conveyed that her behavior is consistently problematic. The platform is a beautiful community, and I want to say again that the majority of the staff has been very lovely, pleasant and just purely phenomenal. It’s just that the head honcho doesn’t share those traits. If you can get away without dealing with her, then you would most likely like Platform. Additionally, there have been attempts to impose unjust charges, despite prior assurances from her staff. Moreover, her failure to provide the move-out guide in a timely manner, deliberately sending it after I had returned my keys, is particularly concerning. When I visited the office today to request a meeting with Ms. Jenkins, she declined and instead delegated communication through the concierge with sticky notes. Despite my numerous emails, she has not responded to address my concerns. Consequently, I am compelled to pursue a Fair Housing complaint, as I firmly believe that Ms. Jenkins has unjustly targeted me on multiple occasions. I’m sure she will respond to this review or have someone for corporate do it and not actually address my concerns and use that paper trail as evidence that she had the right to do so( tow car) I have photo evidence that I was targeted, I’ve took in a photo of at least two vehicles parked in the exact same spot, and they have not been towed. I have uploaded three 3️⃣ different vehicles within the last 24 hours that were parked in the same exact spot I was. And they have yet to be towed. That is how I know she is targeting me. But let’s actually talk about how she seems to target people of color that live at Platform. The list can go on and I’m ready to step forward. She is the absolute reason I chose to move out of the platform. I had a beautiful apartment that I made home. But the negligence, nasty behavior & dismissive tone, whenever she is approached , as if she doesn’t want to deal with residence made me not feel comfortable, and I did not want to always feel like I am being attacked. Again the list can go on. This is just a taste. I have a lot more to express.”

“UPDATE 11/6: I moved out of Avalon Potomac Yard on August 28 and have NOT received my itemized list of deposit deductions and remaining deposit amount. I have called the billing office 3 times with no resolution. They are "expediting" the check now. Per VA tenant law, I should be entitled to the full deposit amount as we are well beyond 45 days of having moved out of the apartment. Avalon blames USPS - they actually had the WRONG address for me initially and said the check was lost in the mail twice now even after updating with my correct address. If you make the decision move here, do not get a parking pass. It costs $75/mo. Park on the street as the garage door has been broken for over 7 months and cars are being broken into in the garage. Fire alarms go off on a regular basis causing full building evacuations. The leasing office staff keep their doors locked and shades down - you cannot stop by the leasing office without an appointment. Full disclosure I am in a one bedroom with a den and my rent is being raised $300/mo if I renew for the same unit for 13 months. No negotiation whatsoever. Do not overpay for this place. You can rent a townhouse in old town at these prices. UPDATE: Leasing office did not input my forwarding address correctly in their system after providing it to them twice, and I have yet to receive my itemized deposit deductions within the 45 day window. When I reached out to them they directed me to their "billing" line and were unhelpful. Be aware of these business practices and quadruple-check that they have your forwarding address correctly noted upon move out.”

“origin neighbors: "like" this comment if Origin raised your rent more than 20%… they just raised our neighbor's rent over 25%... $700+ more per month. read those reviews before you consider living here. and remember they incentivize tenants to write positive reviews. Look, I don't want to write this review but it's frustrating to have so many issues and still get gouged on rent. This is one of the most expensive buildings in Arlington. "Luxury" is front doors that haven't worked for over 2 years. They don't lock, sometimes they don't even open, and the handicap button has never functioned. Zero security and we're right next to a bus stop and busy city street. Random people walk through the lobby with packages unattended. It's unacceptable. Come tour so you can see the broken TV on the patio, leaking ceilings, printer that doesn't work, more broken doors on the roof (good luck getting to the pool), and the bathroom with a sink that simply doesn't turn on. All in all, a beautiful building built in 2018 and falling more into disrepair each day. $2800 for a studio but they can't get the front doors to work.”
