Subject: [HistoricWashington] Raze Applications Received by D.C. Historic Preservation Office
Greetings:
Raze permit applications recently submitted to the Historic Preservation Office for an administrative clearance are filed on the HPO website at the following abbreviated URL: http://tinyurl.com/3erfa7y under “Related Documents”. HPO provides this general public announcement because of the frequent neighborhood interest in raze applications.
Addresses included in this report:
50 Florida Avenue NE (ANC 5E) – warehouse structure
401 K Street NW (ANC 6E) – apartment structure containing 303 units
4019 1st Street NE (ANC 8D) – frame dwelling

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 Information regarding raze permits is accessible on the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs website at http://dcra.dc.gov/service/permits-raze-permit or call (202) 442-4400 for information on a specific raze application.
