“Dear PoPville,

Air BnB Hosts might be receiving alerts from Air BnB to make sure to have a short term rental license by April 10th.

A month in, we have learned some things. Specifically a D-30 form that my guess is some other hosts are going to run into a problem with.

You can’t apply for a Short Term Rental License without a Certificate of Clean Hands. (more…)


“Dear PoPville,

When one has a recording of a porch thief, are you supposed to report it as a crime and submit the video? Is it helpful for crime stats?

Would love to hear actual recommendations other than just complaints.

“Huge question do we know of or is there a list of Ukrainian owned DMV businesses?”

and

“I’m a Ukrainian American living in DC, feeling helpless as so many of us do watching friends, family, and our ancestral homeland be attacked by a dictator hell bent on eliminating Ukraine, it’s people, and their sovereignty. Please help spread awareness of resources and how the public can help.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

There has been a sign for Z Burger at the convenience store (formerly Four Seasons, now DC Supermart) at South Dakota and Delafield St NE for months – maybe a year?? When I was there last night, I asked about it and the owner said it will open by the end of this month. (more…)
