Kim noticed the old signs were removed Saturday night and gave me a heart attack fearing they had closed. Fortunately – they just got new signage. They’re even hiring too, and check out that URL to apply: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Lost my wallet on Webster (in Petworth.) Knew within a couple minutes and biked all up and down the block looking. Gave up hope quickly and went back to my apt.
It was waiting for me at my front door. So, someone found it, checked the license, and hustled it back to my front door. It beat me home thanks to a Good…nope, I’m going to say Great samaritan.
And here I was about to curse 2021.”
“Dear PoPville,
The rats are a real problem. One came into my toilet through the pipes today! Not an urban legend!!
I’m in Mt. Pleasant. I was on a call and heard splashing in my bathroom, which was strange. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
So this is how my Tuesday started…
And this LEGEND of a postman took the time to salvage my failed mailings and return them to our house! (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
There’s an little known DC Code section that allows community groups to file lawsuits against properties that are being used to sell, store or manufacture illegal drugs; that are being used to unlawfully store or sell guns; or that are being used to facilitate prostitution.
Some residents in Truxton Circle have a pretty dire and threatening situation going on with a tenant on a block and we’re considering all options. Over the past 24 months, the residents and/or guests of this household have dealt drugs, brandished firearms, threatened other residents, destroyed property, spray-painted security cameras, and generally created an unlivable situation in the immediate area of the property.

“Dear PoPville,
I’ve been up twice this week between the hours of 3am and 4:30am because of a delivery truck for Safeway on Georgia Ave in Petworth (loud banging, automatic lift noise, beeping of the lift, the engine rumble the entire time of the large truck). I have to be up for work at 5:15am and I live in an apartment above the Safeway. Shouldn’t these delivery trucks be going to a loading dock? (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
New construction is about to start right next to our apartment, for a 9 story condo building. We’re trying to decide what to do and curious about people’s experiences with the noise from construction like this, particularly whether the noise level changes at all over time. Is it just awful the whole time? Or is it particularly bad for a few months in the beginning (demolition, foundation work, etc.)?”
“Dear PoPville,
My building cut off our AC last week and with today’s high at 82, my apartment has been unbearably hot. Last night the thermostat read 78 at 10pm. Do DC renters have any options to file a legal complaint?
An updated reading from this morning. (80 degrees)”
