hospitapartments?

The Marque apartments at Heritage Hunt in Gainesville VA are advertised as "luxury" apartments. They also claim to have "Quiet Hours": 
 

The Marque has wood floors--unlike hospitals that have concrete floors. Noise doesn't travel through concrete floors like it does through wood floors. 

The Marque is managed by Community Realty Company, Inc., property managers with headquarters in Greenbelt MD. The owners of the Marque are Huntgain Marque, LLC.

Isn't it fraud to advertise the Marque apartments as "luxury" apartments with "quiet hours" when the Marque is actually hospital-apartments with noisy, hospital-type activities taking place 24-7? 

Needless to say, one looking for a quiet place to live, and to sleep at night, wouldn't choose an apartment in a hospital with wood floors, especially under a floor with 24-7 hospital activity. 

Renters beware!


  1. Does the property manager/leasing agent, Community Realty Company, Inc., know about this? (How could they not know?) If so, then how long have they known?
  2. Do the owners, Huntgain Marque, LLC, know about this? (How could the owners not know?) If so, then how long have they known?
  3. Providing ongoing hospital-type services from a residence in a location zoned for residential use is a zoning violation. Does Prince William County know about this? (How could the County not know?) If so, then how long has the County known? 
  4. How is bio-hazardous waste being disposed of, e.g., blood, blood-contaminated gloves, bandages and other blood-contaminated items, prescription drugs, etc.? in regular trash bound for the county landfill?
  5. What about unsuspecting renters like us who signed a lease at the Marque believing the Marque's claims that the Marque apartments are "luxury" apartments with "quiet hours"? We weren't told the truth--that hospital-type activities are taking place 24-7 in the apartment directly above us--continuously since before July 1, 2015 when we first occupied the apartment. We weren't told that the noise travels down through the Marque's wood-framed floors so that we hear all of the infernal run-stomping and hospital-type noise that takes place 24-7 on the floor directly above us. The noisemaker(s) above us act with impunity, as if they are isolated, oblivious to the reality that neighbors, us, live directly below them. How should people like us be compensated for the fraud, for the expense and for the sleep deprivation that has resulted from this fraud?

Bottom line: the situation is intolerable.
