“Dear PoP,
I live in a row house in the Bloomingdale neighborhood. Last fall the house behind ours (across the alley) burned and has been vacant ever since. Aside from some people coming and tearing out what remained of the inside and boarding up the windows there has been no other activity on the property. Recently people have started dumping other garbage and unwanted items on top of the pile of crap that was already in the back yard. Is there anything I can do, any agency I should report this to other than the police who can put a stop to this activity and clean up all the garbage?
You can see the boarded up house, some black trash bags starting to spill out into the alley, along with a table top, and a couch or something. Is there anything I can do about this to prevent it from getting any worse?”
You should def. also report this to DCRA. You can contact them here and they are also available on twitter @DCRA.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Who did you contact? Is it worthwhile to contact your Council Member’s office?

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
