DCAR Public Policy Survey

Vacant and Blighted Building Enforcement Amendment Act of 2015: Currently, DCRA must reclassify a property that has been designated as vacant or blighted every 6 months. The Bill would now put the onus on the property owner to show in good faith the DCRA that the property has been misclassified. We ask that you participate in a short survey to help us gauge your views on blighted or vacant properties. Your feedback is necessary so we can best formulate our official position on the proposed legislation.

You may refer to our December Public Policy Report for more information.
