“Dear PoPville,
I live near the Engine 8 fire station in Hill East and while I admit it’s a little less awful than your recurring series, it’s still not great!
They’ve been replacing the roof at the fire station for the past couple weeks and this has resulted in lots of noise every morning because they start bright and early (including on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend). Today they’ve gone to the next level — they started work at 5:30 in the morning,
including loud hammering and lots of shouting to each other, then using a gas leaf blower (illegal under DC law) to blow the debris off the roof. I understand that it’s a city building and they may not technically need a construction permit, but whose idea was this? Any idea if residents have any recourse?“
