“Dear PoPville,
We live in a converted row home 2 unit condo with separate electrical panels. Our condo neighbors have purchased a new EV and are looking to install a Level 2 charger. Have any other small condos dealt with this? Any guidance or insight?”

“Dear PoPville,
Just wanted to put this warning out there for other international travelers. I went to get Covid-19 tested at one of the DC sites on Saturday afternoon to ensure I’d have results for an upcoming trip that requires a negative PCR test result within 72 hours of the flight. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I’m no structural engineer, but either DCRA is totally incompetent, or somebody was slipped a few C-notes to look the other way (I acknowledge it could be a combination of both). DCRA has approved this structure, which is the primary support for the entire front porch and front of the renovated house. They obviously poured the footers wrong, so the contractor simply set the post down with over 50% resting on nothing but air and has no intention of fixing it. They somehow passed the inspection and are in the process of closing it up. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

During my typical night run in D.C. on Tuesday night (Oct. 20) I noticed you were running on the other side of the street at the same pace. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My wife and I are looking to have some or all of our Thanksgiving dinner catered this year. I would love very much to spend two days in the kitchen making dinner, but our house is small, our toddler is manic, our jobs are busy, and we’re expecting seven people from out of town.
Any suggestions?”
“Dear PoPville,
I’m one of the many who has a lease up at the end of the year and my building is claiming they still have no information from the Mayor’s office (which knowing DC government I mostly believe) about what will happen with the rent raise freeze / what my rent will look like in 2021. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
As a follow up to this one. Going northbound on 16th St in the AM, the electronic signs all say to use 3 lanes while the physical signs all say 2 lanes. I witness a near head-on collision (more…)
