EXPOSING WRONG DOINGS – PART 11

91) AFFIDAVIT OF POSTING for the gym owner and wife’s residential situation. Note: Unknowing to us at that time what was going on behind the scenes with the gym owner and wife’s residential situation. The date and time of all attempts at personal service were made on March 28, 2019 at 7:54 PM and March 30, 2019 at 11:11 AM. In addition, a copy of the same was mailed on April 1, 2019. In reference to the March 1, 2019 – 30 Day Notice to Correct or Vacate. 92) The (previous) Service Manager with L. Management came back the next day and still did not finish the plumbing. It ended with the (previous) Service Manager leaving after we got into a heated argument with him because we spoke up for ourselves which was warranted. In the way it was handled and the way we were mistreated. He tried to get us to leave the rental for a few days offering to put us in a motel/hotel that wasn’t in our favor among other tactics. We declined. Note: The technician with L. Management was walking out of the bathroom, while our backs were slightly turned. We could see him walking fast and abruptly stop, bent over and looked at the air fresher that had a blue light on. He looked so hard that he did not realize, we were looking at him. He rushed out the room to the hallway. We could hear them chattering. The (previous) Service Manager with L. Management came into the room, appeared agitated, from the hallway headed to the bathroom in a fast pace and walked back out in a fast pace to the hallway. We can hear more chattering. The technician left during the argument. It became obvious to us that they were paying more attention to items in the room than to finish the pipe replacement job. We made it our priority to be present when they were here in our rental unit. A plumbing company had to be called in to finish his work – March 29, 2019. 93) A letter from L. Management Re: Notice of Rent Adjustment – Disregard the previous notice issued on March 22, 2019 – A second HOUSING PROVIDER’S NOTICE TO TENANTS OF ADJUSTMENT IN RENT CHARGED (again not addressed to us) – In reference to a rent increase on our rental unit, even though there were repairs that were observed by our management and landlord. Only the leak had been addressed although there were other issues that needed attention. They wanted to inspect the rental unit for themselves which they did and still prolonged the repairs. On the RAD Registration/Claim of Exemption Form, they included items we did not have and/or were not supplied with by the landlord/management that was included in our rent. Electricity was also included on the form as part of the rent, we pay our own electric bill. Not mentioned, picking up the trash as stated in our lease which is included in our rent but the landlord failed to do for their own purposes – April 4, 2019. 94) ( Part 2*** cont. to Part 3 **) The gym’s Basic Business License (BBL) Lapsed-April 1, 2019. At this time we weren’t aware of the behind the scenes of this. We talked to one of the DCRA representatives (that was Cc: on the March 26, 2019 email investigative report) who told us the gym’s Basic Business License went lapsed but all the paper work was in order, the CO (Certificate of Occupancy) and BBL – date of conversation – April 1, 2019. Also the conversation was about our rental unit. The DCRA representative stated, “What I was going to do was have an inspector with a checklist and check everything in the apartment.” 95) This was the theme going forward and actions that followed. They tried to find ways to have people coming in and out of our rental unit, using various reasons throughout the ordeal to see what we had and so forth. Also, they tried to find any excuse/tactic to underhandedly get us to leave the rental unit including delaying doing repairs. (Part 3 cont. to Part 4 ) NOTICE OF INFRACTION issued to the gym – Date of Infraction: April 1, 2019, Time of the Infraction: 12:00 PM – Date of service ( left blank) – Gym owner’s last name typed in. It looked suspect, meaning two letters put together to form another letter that does not belong in the name (a pattern). Signed by the DCRA investigator assigned to it and dated: June 5, 2019. 96) ( Part 4 cont. to Part 5) – A (subject) CASE ASSIGNMENT email dated: April 12, 2019 at 11:50 AM was sent to the DCRA investigator who was recommended on March 26, 2019 at 8:08 AM – Subject: Assign – it was sent by one of the DCRA representatives that was Cc: on March 26, 2019 at 8:08 AM email. It states the below-referenced complaint has been assigned RIS Case # ** and entered in the RIS Case Tracking System. Please refer to the case notification that you received via the RIS QuickBase System.

97) (Part 5* cont. to Part 6) In the INVESTIGATIVE REPORT for the gym – An inspection of the premises at the time of my visits through the glass door revealed gym equipment-free weights, barbells, benches and stationary cycles (see photographs attachments #2 & #3). Both pictures showed the reflection of the glass window, doors and some of the building that is misleading. There is no glass door the way the door is slammed a glass door wouldn’t have a chance, weights and barbells (YES) – benches and stationary cycles? You need room for the people. This description is a bit exaggerated and not accurate. Some of the DCRA representatives told us different time frames and amounts in reference to the penalties involving operating without a Basic Business License and a Basic Business License that has lapsed. 98) L. Management sent a vendor to our rental unit to check everything and wrote a list as did everyone else, no work was done. He called and came right over to our rental unit with no proper notice from L. Management – April 15, 2019 around 11:30 AM. 99) L. Management supposedly filed a complaint for Commercial Lease in the Landlord & Tenant Court against the gym (B____ _ F_). They used the suffix INC on the end of L. Management in court and 3509 NW, #* (#* does not exist with this address) Washington DC 20009-(incorrect) – a pattern. The zip code for 3509 NW is 20008 instead for this court case zip code 20009 is listed. The zip code 20017 is listed instead of zip code 20018 for 3408 18th St. NE address (a pattern) – May 3, 2019. Note: On the 3408 property’s DEED the zip code is listed as 20007-(incorrect zip code) a pattern. L LLC is the corporate name and L. Management trading as or doing business as name. The trade name was registered on 2/01/2016 – Trade Name Status: Expired – Expiration Date: 4/01/2020 – a pattern (last checked and documented 2/22/2021). 100) Email from the Director of Property Management with L. Management – Ownership Tour – I wanted to follow up on our conversation from the morning of May 9th regarding the owner property tour scheduled for Saturday, May 11th. To confirm, L. Management is providing notice on behalf and at the request of the owner of the property, that they will be touring a portion of the portfolio, to include the property in which you reside at 3408 18th Street. The tour is scheduled to take place throughout the portfolio between the hours of 9 AM-3 PM, although it is presumed that the tour of your leased premises will likely be towards the earlier part of the morning. As I mentioned to you yesterday, this tour will be very brief. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for your understanding – May 10, 2019 at 1:29 PM. Another opportunity to make their way into our rental unit. Note: One of the two Menkiti Group representatives present was on the CEO & Corporate Leadership at that time and was the same representative who called on Nov 29, 2018. He asked was there a problem about entry and a key. Just ten days (10) earlier from the November 29, 2018, the illegal attempted access occurred on November 19, 2018. There was punching and weights dropping that could be heard from the gym as the two Menkiti Group representatives headed out our entrance door in a hurry. They could see the tall grass in the front that needed attention as well as the greenery in the back being neglected as they observed the back of the property. Our rental unit was the focal point. We still had repairs that needed to be addressed such as the unusable crack face bowl, hallway foyer ceiling bulging held up by a piece of tape, a broken brunt electrical outlet among other things. The Menkiti Group came from behind the scenes to outright play a role against us (Tenants) several times.
