1300 block of H Street, NE

“Dear PoPville,

Squatters have been living there. Reported in late May. City repeatedly postponed inspections.

Attached please find my original request for vacant property inspection in which I indicated that squatters were present.

Also attached are a series of emails [Ed. Note: I have not included all of them but there were 8 in total] for scheduled (and missed) inspections. (more…)


Thanks to Dylan for sending: “Heard what sounded like a small explosion and this back porch was totally aflame. I think the house is actually uninhabited but it was a pretty serious fire. Fire department was able to put it out impressively fast though.” (more…)



2600 block of Adams Mill Road, NW

Thanks to all for sending around 8:40pm last night (sorry for the delayed responses, I was at the New Pornographers concert at 9:30 Club.)

DC Fire and EMS reported: “Update 2nd Alarm 2600 block Adams Mill Rd NW. All 28 units in the building are uninhabitable. There are currently 24 occupants who indicate they are displaced.” (more…)
