Dear PoP – Question about business license for Condo Owners

“Dear PoP,

We live in a condo building that is over 50% rental units (very investor heavy…why did I buy? The old management company did not report the correct number of rental units to me or the mortgage company and it’s also gotten worse since we moved in). Yes, I understand that people need to rent apartments and I have no problem with that as long as a condo building operates for the owners.

That said, there are only 6 business licenses issues for our building according to DCRA. I know that 50 or so units are not professionally managed, so that means a good number are renting out their units without the proper licensing.

Even though our condo bylaws state that the Board – which includes two investors – must follow and enforce DC law, they have told us that they do not care about this issue. Do you have any recommendation to ensure that our building is following DC law?”

Any advice for this situation?

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
