“Dear PoPville,
There’s a new package fiasco at Camden NoMa following last summer’s Flats130 Package Debacle. We received notice that in the coming months, all 700+ resident’s packages will be stored in a self-serve room on one side of the building. We will not be able to access the room with our key fob, only an app (Chirp).
There will not be lockers, the packages will just be stored on shelves in the room for anyone to take — whether they’re theirs or not. We previously had two separate concierge desks (one on L St, and one on Pierce St), and while the safety of our packages is the main concern (especially things like mail-order pharmacy medications), the elimination of one of the two concierge desks, and presumably the concierge’s job, is just another example of sheer post-pandemic corporate greed while continuing to raise rents. This summer, some tenants have reported receiving rent renewal offers with a $300-400 increase on non-pandemic rates.”
