“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if tenants have any rights to question/stop renovations of rental apartments during the stay at home order. I don’t know if we have any say, but when most tenants are working from home (and not allowed to use amenity spaces) during this time, it is incredibly disruptive to have the leasing agency for our building completely renovating unoccupied apartments. Is there anything we can do? They want us to keep paying rent but to do that we kind of need to keep our jobs…Are others experiencing this issue?”

A couple of curious questions last night: “Has anyone else reported the twin drones flying at nearly cloud level over the NoMa area right now?” [Around 8pm]
and
“Has anyone in NoMa reported an overnight engine/hammering/drilling noise? I’m on a top floor on the unit block of L St. NE, and it has been constant and roaring since at least 9 pm May 6. It sounds like it’s coming from southeast of Gonzaga High School. Or it might be at K NE and north capitol. Crazy loud!”

“Dear PoPville,
Have you heard anything about the legality of renting Airbnb properties during the Stay-at-Home Order? We live next to one that is doing a lot of business right now for large groups of people throwing parties. Seems to contradict the spirit of the lockdown and was wondering if this was a problem in other parts of the district too.”
From Airbnb:
“The month of May brings with it many moments worth celebrating for District residents — from high school and college graduations to Memorial Day weekend festivities.
Under typical circumstances, Airbnb empowers our hosts to set House Rules on events and parties that are appropriate for their communities. However, these are very different times, and public health must come first. To that end, we have previously announced that we will not allow for hosts to authorize parties and events in regions where current public health mandates prohibit events and gatherings. As Mayor Bowser has extended the city’s stay-at-home order through May 15, our new policy means we are not allowing any type of party in D.C. until this order is lifted.
We want to be very clear — not only will we ban guests who attempt to throw an unauthorized party in a D.C. Airbnb listing, we will be cooperating with MPDC in any investigations relating to parties and violations of public health mandates, consistent with our Terms of Service. (more…)

From a press release:
“The Tryst Trading Company has announced it will now offer carryout with limited menu options and household pantry items at its flagship restaurant, Tryst.
The CEO and Owner Constantine Stavropolous explains the priorities in safety and putting a limited staff back to work. “The health and safety of our staff is our first priority. Like many DC restaurants, we temporarily closed our restaurants in March. While it was a heartbreaking decision, we remained optimistic about reopening our doors in a safe and responsible manner. Our team members have been incredibly patient as we worked to reopen our doors.”
Guests can access the limited menu items and household pantry staples from Tryst’s website. Household pantry item orders will need to be placed in advance, and items can be picked up at Tryst from 8 AM- 3 PM daily. (more…)

Readers have been asking: “Anyone know where to donate books during Covid? I’m moving and have probably 40-50 assorted novels that didn’t make the cut. Walls of Books is, alas, closed.”
and “Does anyone know of any organizations that are still accepting clothes/furniture donations? Not everything will be able to make the move and I would prefer to not just throw things away if possible.”
From the good people at From Moreland’s (5501 14th Street, NW):
“Reminder!! WHISKEY WEDNESDAY. SUPER LIMITED 1Liter Of Old Fashioned or Ginger Manhattan for $65! These can be ordered online here starting at 4pm today. Will sell out!”
