Buying a vacant fixer upper in DC
I was wondering how long it takes the city to get rid of the class 3 vacant status if I go ahead. Also, I've read on the DC website that if you're doing major renovations on an investment property you qualify for an exemption from the class 3 rate http://dc.gov/DC/DCRA/Inspecti...Code+Inspections/Vacant+Building+Enforcement/Get+Answers+On+Vacant+Buildings#13
Does this also apply to residential properties?

Sweet Cat (Stray) in Bloomingdale
This extrordinarily sweet calico has come around to our house two times on an alley off of Randolph Pl NW in Washington DC. She is small, potentially young, and a big sweetheart. I gave her some food tonight, but if anyone has any details on her or has seen her around let us know. I would love for someone to take her in or report her whereabouts. More»

Random Question - "He stole my phone"
Random question but I just saw a women running south, down the middle of 14th Street from the corner of 14th and Irving. I was too far away to see much beyond her, but I could hear her yelling: "he stole my phone, he stole my phone!" She was booking it and then I saw a security guard and someone else give chase, then a few minutes later heard police cars/sirens screeching in the background.
I am sure running down the middle of the street and also chasing a thief will be debated as to smart/not smart, but my question is - does anyone know how it ended?... More»6:53 PM 05/16/2013

If and how to go to small claims court?
We've just bought a house - a flip, so perhaps caveat emptor - but the contractor has clearly done crap work. The dishwasher was installed wrong, and has flood water that has warped the floorboards and come out the light fixtures in the apartment below, and may need to be replaced. A poorly fitted bathroom pipe has already leaked through the ceiling below it, and will cost about $500 in repairs. In the rental apt basement, there is no power to the outlet where the washing machine should go. We havent bothered the contractor with any of this stuff (becaus... More»

These problems sound eerily similar to issues we uncovered in a house inspection at the end of last year. We eventually bailed on the house because of the inspection report. If you're comfortable giving out the address, e-mail me at [email protected] See More » -

Have You Seen My Cat?
My AC contractors left the door open for hours (ignoring the signs on the door saying to keep the door closed because of the cats), and Dean escaped. He is one year old, gray tabby (gray fur with white stripes) and small. He is shy around strangers and isn't wearing a collar.
Last seen around 14th and Decatur.
If you have any information, please call 300-900-2036.
Thanks so much. More»6:26 PM 05/15/2013

House painters
Looking for recommendations for exterior housepainters (this month) and interior a bit later this summer.
In the faster/cheaper/better triangle triangle, cheaper is probably the most important trait for us. Neither job would be huge. More»3:25 PM 05/13/2013

Metal door frame replacement
Hey PoPville,
My house has metal door frames and the basement exterior door frame is rusted and disintegrated at the bottom. It and the door need to be replaced. Can anyone recommend a contractor? It doesn't need to be fancy. I just want something that will keep out unwanted people, bugs, and water. I will also want to find out about security door options. It currently has a security door.
Thanks,

recommendation for refinishing original door trim and banister?
I'm interested in refiishing the original floors, stairs, banister, and wood trim around all of the door openings in a 1920s house. I've talked to a couple of floor finishers, but they ONLY do the floors and stair treads and risers (not the other woodwork). Who do you call to refinish the banisters and door trim? Any recommendations out there for companies that do all of this wood work, or someone for just the banister and door trim? Thanks! More»
