WASHINGTON, DC 20010 · DC — Ward 1
Building permit — alteration and repair
HISTORIC We already have a permit to repave buckled concrete on our front walkway. During day 1 of work, our contractor team discovered a large root system which was the cause of the uneven concrete. We had DC Lead Arborist Janet Miller come out, measure and give her evaluation. The tree is a Red Maple Acer rubrum measuring 89.5 inches in circumference which makes this a special tree under DC law. Her suggestion is to wrap the roots in geotextile fabric, place a layer of clean 57 stones as a buffer for root growth and then pour the concrete on top. We have also filed for a formal permit with Ms. Milller's DDOT Urban Forestry Division. Our current steps are 4 steps from the street sidewalk, then the walkway leading to 5 steps which lead to our front porch. The new layout would make five steps from the side walk, and then 4 steps to the porch. The design itself of concrete with blue stones on the walkway will not change from the original permit. This revision request to elevate the walkway by one step is simply to protect the tree roots. Thank you for your consideration!

Building permit — alteration and repair
Historic Our current front steps and porch are uneven concrete and no railing on the lower set of steps. We would like to replace the uneven concrete with bluestone pavers and add a railing.

Published by the District as assessment data, separately from the permit record above, and current as of the District’s own assessment cycle rather than today. An assessment can lag construction by a cycle, so a property with a recently issued permit may still be assessed as it was before the work. Owner details are published by the jurisdiction but are deliberately not shown here.
These are the permits published by the jurisdictions listed above. A project usually depends on approvals from other agencies that publish nothing machine-readable — a forest conservation exemption, a well completion report, a sediment control or grading plan, a utility connection, a homeowners’ association sign-off. Their absence here is not evidence they were not required, and the gaps between the dates above are usually where they happened. Rows labelled “Issued” are ISSUED permits — Washington DC publishes an issue date and no project valuation at all. Records are grouped by normalised address text, so the same property may also appear upstream under a different spelling. Verify scope, dates, and contractor information with the issuing jurisdiction before bidding, quoting, or performing work.
