Editing Watergate complex (section)

===Watergate West===
Construction problems and leaks at Watergate West led the press to ridicule this building, like others in the complex, as the "Potomac Titanic".<ref name="Titanic" /> On March 2, 1971, residents of the Watergate West filed a lawsuit against SGI in which they claimed their units had defective stoves, faulty air conditioning, leaky windows and balconies, and deficient plumbing.<ref name="InPlace" /> SGI said the problems were similar to those with any new building, and that it had already spent $300,000 on repairs.<ref name="InPlace" />

Like the Watergate East, residents of this building have discussed buying the land beneath their building but do not need to do so until the land lease expires in 2070.<ref name="Wheeler" />
