71) DCRA – CERTIFICATE OF REINSTATEMENT issued to the gym, Effective Date: Jan 3, 2019. 72) A discreet copy was given of the RAD Registration/Claim of Exemption Form that wasn’t given by our landlord or management – RAD Date Stamp – Jan 18, 2019 at 3:34 PM. Our names not included. There were items checked that wasn’t in the rental or things not furnished by the Menkiti Group/L. Management under Current Related and Optional Services & Facilities as Part of Rent or Rental Agreement and had the audacity to include the electricity which is not included in our rent. We pay that portion to the electric company. The BBL processor who supposedly does inspections had never been in our place at that time, but signed the RAD Registration/Claim of Exemption Form anyway – Jan 18, 2019, certifying that this Housing Accommodation was in substantial compliance with the DC Housing Regulations to the best of his knowledge when it was not. This same BBL processor arrived on Sept 1, 2019 to put up the One Family Rental License on the wall in the hallway. Note: On Jan 28, 2020, he inspected our rental unit and common area for the first time. We hinted to him twice, already aware of who he was and what he had done. He still did not come clean. 73) Email from L. Management – Now attached to your account is a copy of your property’s business license and registration documents – Jan 23, 2019 at 2:18 PM. Note: There was no copy attachment through the email or mailed through the post office. There was nothing showing in our tenant portal. 74) We called DC City Services to find out what could be done about the trash can full of trash that had been left for a lengthy period of time with the lid open at the back of the property. We talked to a Department of Public Works representative who asked for our location and was instructed to put it in the alley. It would be taking care of. An email was sent – Your request for trash collection – missed has been received by our agents and will be forwarded to the Department of Public Works for completion. Your request is expected to be completed on or about 1/28/2019 10:24 AM – Jan 24, 2019 at 10:24 AM. 75) Email sent – Request has been closed – Your request for Trash collection – Missed at **** 18TH STREET NW, WASHINGTON, DC, USA, 20036 was completed on 1/29/2019 and has been closed by Department of Public Works. Case closure comment: collected by L. __ – Jan 29, 2019 at 7:30 AM. Although it states 18TH Street, the rest of the address is incorrect (a pattern). Another occasion, the email listed the wrong address number (a pattern). The property was listed as vacant at that time. 76) On Jan 31, 2019 at 12:39 PM, the gym owner leaves the gym. He looks up at our windows, less than a half hour later around 1:00 PM a technician with L. Management drive up in a gray company pickup truck. He sits in the truck talking on the phone. The technician gets out and come to our door and knock, he is heard by us saying to someone on the phone, “I knocked but no answer, what do you want me to do?” That is when, Robert put on some clothes and went to the door and found out he was talking to the (previous) Service Manager with L. Management. (The (previous) Service Manager came over to our door momentarily then entered into the gym, wearing dark shades back on Jan 25, 2019 around 10:54 AM.) In the conversation Robert had with the (previous) Service Manager, he told him that we were not ready for an inspection, the proper notice (48 hours) was not in writing or verbal, the (previous) Service Manager stated that he had gotten it from the Developers (referring to the Menkiti Group) with no date either. The (previous) Service Manager is the same one who took out and replaced the shower & bathtub pipes on March 28, 29, 2019. 77) Unknowing to us, the gym owner and wife had a 30-Day Notice to Correct or Vacate (residential) going on that match up again with the timeline that the landlord, management and gym owner ramped up their tactics during this time and misleading us among other things, trying to push us out of our rental unit. The gym owner and wife’s (residential) timeline of months listed in the 30-Day Notice to Correct or Vacate – failing or refusing to pay rent is as follows: March 2018, April 2018, May 2018, June 2018, July 2018, and Aug 2018 through January 2019, and February 2019 – dated: March 1, 2019. 78) Email from L. Management – Unit 2 (incorrect – a pattern) Service request – Per ownership we have scheduled an inspection for the building and units Friday March 15th, 2019. Someone must be home between the hours of 8 AM-12 PM – March 11, 2019 at 9:33 AM. 79) Email from L. Management – Unit 2 service request – We wanted to remind you that we are scheduled to come out on Friday 3/15/19 with ownership. We will be doing an inspection of the unit with ownership (referring to the Menkiti Group). We will let you know what time range we will be there by the end of the day today – March 13, 2019 at 9:39 AM. 80) On March 14, 2019 at 11:10 AM, we reached out to a DCRA representative with an email rough draft about our situation with the gym. She turned it over to another DCRA representative, who told us about the procedures and how to file a complaint and sent it in an email. 81) The (former) Menkiti Group representative and (previous) Service Manager with L. Management inspected our unit. Note: It wasn’t a thorough inspection. The (previous) Service Manager inspected the common area at that same time the (former) Menkiti Group representative left out. Which made us believe our unit was the main focal point which was inspected not the building or the unit (gym) on the lower level. Also, the (previous) Service Manager cleared up who the person’s name (temporary hire to make some extra money) was that was trying to gain access with the help of the gym owner back on Nov 19, 2018. It was a different name than the name given to us while on the phone with the (previous) Service Manager the very first time. This was said in front of the (former) Menkiti Group representative who was also present in our unit – March 15, 2019. Note: The Menkiti Group and L. Management stated on paper (in tiny print) later that we denied them access, which is absolutely untrue and it was documented just in case, to clarify who is telling the truth. We had a leak that stopped and started again. Although we were leery of what they called an inspection. They were ignoring and holding out on us concerning problems in our unit. We wanted them to check hoping they could see we had a real problem that needed to be addressed. We had a couple of plumbers assess the situation and was told it was more to it than just changing a washer because it was old pipes that had been here since the building was built. It would get to the point where the water from the tub faucet would not stop running and it finally got to that point. 82) Email from L. Management – Unit 2 service request – Thank you for submitting this work order. We have scheduled our technician to look at all the listed items on Tuesday 3/19/19 between 10 AM – 4 PM – March 15, 2019 at 3:42 PM – We submitted a work order for repairs that same day (March 15, 2019) which included a leak from the tub faucet which we had mentioned earlier. 83) L. Management technician entered into our rental unit for the first time, approximately 10:37 AM. He looked at everything he had to do, told us he was going to the store to get materials and left. He called us from outside around 12:48 PM and came in. He stated work repairs (materials) weren’t approved by the Menkiti Group. He turned the water back on and left, nothing got done at all. He called back at 12:53 PM to let us know if there was any change in the decision, he would let us know. He did call us back at 12:57 PM to inform us the approval did not go through – March 19, 2019.
