“Melting to death in SW DC”

“Dear PoPville,

I’ve lived in the Tiber Island Co-operative in SW DC since 2015. Every fall my south facing corner studio apartment gets to over 91 degrees in the fall. I know that DC requires that buildings transition from A/C to heat around October 15th but this is crazy.

I can’t focus on work and my dog is having trouble too. I’ve sent emails to my building with no recourse for 4 years– they just say to complain to my ANC. Even worse, when I had to rent out my condo last year for the pandemic, my tenet broke the lease because of the heat which was a big financial loss! I’m living here again and I can barely take it.

Is there anything I can do? Is there some kind of legal action that can be taken?”

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.
