To view the raze application please email congressheightsontherise@gmail.com
There were two raze permit applications recently submitted to the Historic Preservation Office for an administrative clearance - one for a property in Congress Heights. HPO provides this general public announcement because of the frequent neighborhood interest in raze applications.
Addresses included in this report:


1000 Main Street SW


3221 10th Place SE


HPO is one of a group of agencies and private utilities that clear raze applications before permits are issued. The HPO clearance of a raze application indicates either that the property is not subject to the historic preservation law, or that the demolition has been approved through the process provided in the preservation law. HPO endeavors to maintain fair, efficient, and prompt processing of these applications. We routinely clear raze applications that do not involve historic preservation issues. If a raze application may involve a matter of significance to neighborhood planning and development, we may hold the application until the expiration of the official notice period that DCRA is required to give to the affected Advisory Neighborhood Commission.

Anyone interested in the status of the HPO clearance of a raze application may contact us by email at historic.preservation@dc.gov. Please contact DCRA at (202) 442-4400 to determine when the ANC was notified of the pending application.
