Please: When you see these places that you are writing/reading about, do the neighborhood a favor and take down the addresses, then use them to submit a service request for "grass & weeds mowing" or "rats (abatement)" to the Mayor's Call Center (727-1000), or online at http://src.dc.gov/ccc/ccclogin.asp.

Private property owners will be given notice of the weed problem. If they fail to abate the problem, they will be billed for the city's clean up of their overgrown weeds. If the problem is on public property, the city will clear the weeds on the spot. The city's response to weeds is startlingly quick, unlike some other problems.

If the weeds fall between the 1200 & 1400 blocks of Linden, H St., or Wylie St. NE, I'll be glad to take the service number and make sure something gets done. E-mail it to me at thelunas@speakeasy.net.

H Street needs all the help it can get.

I will say that this kind of blog attention does seem to get attention from certain property owners. I've had a hard time finding really good shots of trash in the H Street Connection parking lot lately...
