A stop work order issued on September 12 by the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA). Instead of trusting that the DCRA inspector would inform the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) and the District Department of the Environment, there should be a check-off/prompt automatically within the stop work order process to initiate fines and a removal period. It is inefficient and redundant to require residents to hope there was verbal communication within the agencies or to generate a complaint.
City unresponsiveness breeds cynicism in and distrust of government in residents. City unresponsiveness breeds boldness in construction companies, litterers, and others to blatantly disrespect Deanwood and the city. I'm sick of it!

Bravo on your efforts to solve this problem. I applaud you for not allowing it to be ignored. Please keep us informed as the what happens.
ReplyDeleteI agree, but if this isn't solved then I would suggest taking it to 7 on your side. It seems as if they are more competent at getting things done than the local government.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the responses. This post has gotten Government's attention. It shouldn't take a blog. However, by any means necessary is applicable.
ReplyDeleteJust in case this isn't taken care of, though, please give the number for "7 on your side."
