Stolen Autos- a drastic increase since the Citywide curfew. when the restaurants closed, people began to order delivery service more. the delivery drivers have been leaving their vehicles on with keys in the ignition while on deliveries. the thieves are jumping in the cars and driving away and committing other crimes in the area. (robberies and shootings)
*****Please advise your constituents to turn their cars off and take their keys out of their vehicles when visiting neighbors. if anything is needed please feel free to call 202 439 6326."

Pop-Ups and Pop-Backs/Zoning: I have had several residents reach out to me about the issue of pop-ups and pop-backs in our residential neighborhoods which are zoned as R-2. For more information about this type of zoning, go to: https://handbook.dcoz.dc.gov/zones/residential/R-2/. Many renovations are approved as a "matter or right". There are no specific requirements for preservation of existing roof-top elements and other related provisions that impact the size and location of a pop-up. Matter of right renovations are not subject to an approval process by the Board of Zoning.
The specific regulations regarding zoning in our area can be found here: https://dcregs.dc.gov/Common/DCMR/RuleList.aspx?ChapterNum=11-U2
Nuisance Properties: I have been asked to testify before the Department of Regulatory Affairs regarding an alleged blighted property at 111 Rittenhouse Street NW. This is an investment property (bought out of foreclosure in 2018). The owner is challenging the decision of DCRA that it is a blighted property. If you have any issues or concerns with this property please contact me via my website at https://www.commissionerjohnson4b06.com/, call me at 202.271.3710 or via my ANC email at 4b06@anc.dc.gov. I am awaiting the exact date/time and call-in information from DCRA as the initial October 20th date has been changed.
