“Dear PoPville,
looks like a construction company is moving forward with a permit request to raze the laundromat on Mount Pleasant St. and replace it with a 4-story, 14-unit apartment building. I asked DCRA for the details and they sent me this:

“New construction of a new mixed-use 4-story building with approximately 1,100 SF of ground floor retail and 14 residential apartments. Total Area: 12,499 SF Zoning Commission Case 20298 . Raze of existing structure under R2100022. EISF 2000473. Raze of a one-story commercial building. The permit has to be reviewed, approved, and issued before any work can start. It could take up to 30 days more or less.”

As a resident who lives behind said building, I’m naturally not excited about the prospect. Hopefully more of the community feels the same way!”
