“Dear PoPville,
In my handful of years living in The Apollo Apartments in H St NE, I’ve been locked out of my own apartment more than 25 times. It’s because of these horrible keyfobs they use.
Basically, the batteries inside the door that read the fob are insufficient, lasting only 1 month or so. Every time they die, I get locked out. Then I have to wait for maintenance, which has taken anywhere from 20 minutes to 3+ hours to get to my door, depending on when I get locked out. It’s happened when I’ve had cold groceries in my hands, when I had to be home and online for a work meeting, etc.
I’ve spoken to maintenance about it every time and they say it happens to everyone in the building constantly, and when I’ve emailed the Apollo management about it, they give a non-answer and don’t do anything to fix it.
It is the main reason I am likely going to be moving out once my lease ends. I wonder if anyone else has had similar experiences at other Bozutto-owned properties in the city?”
