Description
Construction on the property has been abandoned and the site is not secure. It is increasingly dangerous to drive down the adjacent alley. There is also a large pile of construction trash that has been left on the property.

Billy and Jon,
I received an e-mail from DCRA that the owner is putting up a fence to surround it. He needs to be fined. I am going to more info.

Rachelle,
That's good to hear. Thank you for being so on-top of things in our neighborhood; it really makes things easier for us busy-bodies to have you to help us actually get things done!

Rachelle: thanks for the follow! The fence is definitely a positive but we're still concerned about the concrete in the ally breaking into the hole. There is no longer enough support under the alley closest to the hole. At some point, the weight of a car is going to be too much and it's going to give - possibly with toss the car into the hole. Anything we can do about that?
Thanks again for all you're doing!!! John

Jon, John, & Billy--I received this e-mail yesterday. Watch on Tuesday.
Good afternoon Ms. Nigro, I meet with the contractors permit expediter on Monday at 1100 4th Street SW. The contractor is advised work can began under our (DDOT) supervision while the permit is approved. Currently weather is a factor, we anticipate allowing the contractor access to start work Tuesday next week.

Jon, John, Billy--Got this from DDOT today--Yes, notice of violations (NOV) are in process, there has not been any movement on the part of the contractor since I spoke with him last week.
I asked if this is just fines or will they make him fix the alley.
Rachelle Nigro (Registered User)
Another update about fixing the alley:
A time frame for restoration has not been set yet, the NOV’s sent via certified mail. When he gets the NOV’s he will call me, they always do. After he receives the notices, additional fines can accessed per day.
Rachelle Nigro (Registered User)

So they're going to fix the alley now without knowing what's going to happen to the project? Doesn't that seem silly, since it might just get torn up again?
Do we have any update on the NOVs and any response from the builder?
Thank you again for all your work on this, Rachelle!
Rachelle Nigro (Registered User)
Jon,-We are dealing with two seperate agencies, DDOT and DCRA that unfortunately do not communicate. I am awaiting an update from DCRA Directors office on what they can now do. Since the alley is again falling apart we need to get that fixed.

Hi Everyone--this is from DCRA today: There is still a pending permit in the review process for this property, with recent activity from the owner as of 6/13/2014. We will send an inspector out to for compliance in reference to the security and condition of the construction site. I’ll forward you the inspection date today.

Gentemen:
I had sent an e-mail to the DCRA director in November saying again the property was not safe. I received a response that the property was in compliance and the inspectors were correct.
I then sent two videos of the site from last week showing what a disaster it is and no one is working on the property.I received this from the Director.
Good morning Commissioner Nigro,
The photos you’ve supplied illustrates construction conditions which absolute must be safeguarded. We will be in touch with the permit holder ASAP. We have an obligation to ensure the structure is designed and constructed in accordance with building code; in addition, we must ensure that there is sufficient protection to the general public as well as adjoining property. Thank you for reaching out to provide this information. We greatly appreciate your assistance.
We will see what happens.

Hi- I see they covered up the side windows and the side toward the back at night. Are they sealing the back at night?
Thanks!

Hi there: while I wouldn't say it's happening daily, there has been steady work being done on the property. The exterior frame has been mostly completed and the work seems to be happening inside the property. We hear a generator going but can't see what's happening inside. Slowly... :)
Thanks!

I am going to a 311 App Super User meeting tomorrow night. Let me know if you have any feedback about the app or on-line function.

Just set another e-mail to the DCRA director. Still no fence and even more trash! Has anyone been there lately?
Thank you!

Hi Everyone! Am I mistaken or was there some movement last week on the property? I thought I noticed some changes.
