Sways in the what now? Sways in the wind due to insufficient structural supports you say? Good gravy.

From the office of the DC Attorney General:

“Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb announced that DC developer Steven Sushner will pay $400,000 to fund repairs to a Ward 4 condo building that was improperly constructed and sways in the wind due to insufficient structural supports.

Under the terms of a settlement agreement negotiated by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG), alongside the unit owners, multiple legal cases related to shoddy construction at 4022 Georgia Avenue NW are being resolved. Specifically, Sushner will be required to pay the building’s Homeowners Association (HOA) $400,000, which will pay for structural reinforcements and other repairs needed to ensure the safety of the unit owners and the community. This settlement comes after OAG secured a decision in the DC Court of Appeals (DCCA) that upheld the authority of the DC Department of Buildings (DOB) to order the developer to fix the structural problems at the building, and after 4022 Georgia Avenue LLC (4022 LLC), a company owned by Sushner that developed the building, entered into bankruptcy. In addition to the $400,000 Sushner will pay, the condo unit owners will also receive additional proceeds from 4022 LLC’s bankruptcy. The combined proceeds will be used to repair the structural problems and bring the property into compliance with District law. (more…)
