ANC 2E historic preservation enforcement list for June 2002

Advisory Neighborhood Commission 2E began in June, 2002 to compile a list of possible violations of historic preservation regulations to submit to city enforcement personnel. The list is compiled by the ANC 2E Zoning Committee and is not formally approved by the commission. It is intended to help improve enforcement activities in Georgetown. Public input is welcome—call the ANC office at 338-7427 or email us.


The following statement, representing a consensus of the commissioners, was read orally at and submitted following the June 4, 2002 ANC 2E public meeting:

Advisory Neighborhood Commission 2E, at the recommendation of DC Government historic preservation officer Toni Cherry, asks that she inspect the following addresses for compliance with applicable laws regarding signage in Georgetown.

It is the impression of the Commission that when a tenant vacates a location, external signs shall be removed.

It is the impression of the Commission that no internally lit signs shall be displayed.

It is the impression of the Commission that all signs shall have their permit number displayed where it can be seen from the street.

Photographs are hereby transmitted with this list and the Commission requests a report on each location from Ms Cherry perhaps as early as the next ANC 2E meeting of July 2.
