We are visiting this area to resolve some of the public health and safety concerns that are a result of the alleged prostitution throughout the area. We visited the area yesterday, 07/10/2008 and walked throughout 2nd and 3rd and K and Parker Street NE with neighbors to survey healthy/safety concerns and take photographs, which are attached. Caroline is requesting a multi-agency response for the following:

Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) – Evidence of illegal activity occurring behind 209 K Street NE, a vacant property, owner has failed to maintain, front side-window of property is broken out and according to next door neighbor prostitutes and “customers” enter through this window. Property owner(s) be fined cited for additional violations.
