No one should have to go to court 9 times almost 10 just to get housing repairs made and get slandered as part of a setup that transpired in the Nov 5, 2019 court hearing that was leading up to this point from the previous month of October. Their attorney stated the plaintiffs (we) are so disruptive, and harassing, that the contractor doesn’t feel safe or able to complete the work if they’re (we) home or if he is not accompanied by a police officer – L. Management representative (Director of Property Management) stated the __’s (we) get more and more aggressive and accusatory. This last time they went in, he just felt very unsafe, and they were yelling at him, and I think he just kind of reached his boiling point among other things that was said in court and on record. Note: They were trying to get us riled up in court in the hope of having it dismissed in or out of court. They tried to set us up, we were the victims! Even the judge asked us would we leave so the vendor can do the work, had us scratching our heads. It was based on a setup. No one asked us can we refute what they were saying as a way of defending ourselves on record. We let the contractors borrow tools & equipment that they should have been equipped with to do the job! They tried to find ways to enter into our rental unit such as a tour, inspection, looking at what needed to be done from the landlord, service managers, vendors, even using the housing conditions court system to do some work. Other times a vendor would enter into our rental unit and do nothing and leave with some excuse to try for another day. On Oct 28, 2019, we called a specific Menkiti Group representative who partook in the inspection (not a thorough inspection) on March 15, 2019. We left a message on his answering service that we did not want to be setup leading up to Nov 5, 2019, court hearing (documented). They extended it into another court appearance a total of eight almost made it to nine court appearances, making a mockery of the Justice system. The Scales of Justice that represent the court is even, it was not in our case.

Out of the four (4) property managers/managements who have managed 3408 18th Street NE property. There is a record that showed a full/partial/changed property list that were managed by the four (4) property managers. 3408 18th Street NE property is not listed under three (3) property managers at all, only C. Property Management (out of business). Note: These property (managed) lists are from the past and present. Therefore, 3408 18th Street NE property should have been listed/included as managed under the other three (3) property managers (documented because of changes being made). District of Columbia Municipal Regulations under the GENERAL LICENSING REQUIREMENTS – 200.5 – Each applicant shall, as a condition to the issuance of a license, indicate on the license application the name and contact information of a property manager or resident manager responsible for conducting maintenance and repairs on the property – C. Property Management was/is listed on both One Family Rental Licenses, the previous one and the current one. The DCRA/court inspector was aware of this. She passed the buck. It does not add up. It is not living up to the condition of the issuance of the license! L. Management is the current property manager – C. Property Management is out of business. The date of issuance (year) is also incorrect on the One Family Rental License, it shows the year 2017 not 2019 (a pattern).
