My experience with building manager Sydney Lewis has been utterly infuriating and unacceptable. She consistently ignores emails, often leaving critical tenant concerns unanswered for weeks, if she responds at all. During regular office hours, she’s almost never available, with staff frequently claiming she’s "working from home" when, in reality, she’s hiding in the back office, deliberately avoiding tenants. On multiple occasions, her absence has led to unresolved emergencies, like maintenance issues and safety concerns, escalating due to her negligence.
These persistent and blatant communication failures have made it nearly impossible to address even the most basic tenant needs, leaving residents feeling neglected and powerless.

I’ve surveyed numerous rental properties across the DMV for years.Sydney Lewis ruined the whole experience Unreliable, disorganized, and zero accountability.Sydney Lewis is the worst property manager I've ever had .Unfortunately, Graham Southern Towers falls short in comparison. The cleanliness, professionalism, and space are lackluster at best. You’ll likely encounter an unprofessional property manager, Sydney Lewis, along with a support staff that seems unavailable and uninformed about local resources or activities in the Virginia area. Don’t bother asking Sydney about concessions or deals, as the management seems indifferent to resident needs. The community lacks appealing amenities, making it a lackluster choice for renters. Sydney is unlikely to be a helpful guide in finding a suitable home here. With so many better options in the DMV, skip Graham Southern Towers!!!!!!!???????

Black mold is killing us in this place. The AC blows out black mold constantly—black mold everywhere in the air we breathe. As soon as I entered here, I felt an overwhelming sense of mental and physical tiredness. It has gotten so bad that I’m forced to spend most of my time at friends’ and family’s homes just to escape it. This should be taken seriously because no tenant should have to live like this, especially while still bound by a lease.
