In the District, the house the trash collectors forgot
lives on the sort of block that is quintessentially Washington, a city whose north-south and east-west streets are enlivened by the occasional diagonal street. This creates odd little triangles. The house Linda and her husband,, have lived in since 2010 is the only one on their particular right-angle triangle, a block enclosed by Western Avenue, Fessenden Street and 47th Street NW in Friendship Heights.
Finally, after three weeks, the supervisor came and emptied the trash can himself into his pickup truck. But before that happened, a DPW inspector had cited the ReVeals for “failing to maintain adjoining public space in a clean condition,” a violation of Section 702.2 of the D.C. Code. The fine was $75.
Furthermore, the judge wrote, the regulation imposes strict liability on homeowners, regardless of why the trash is there. In a ruling that struck Linda as a little short of Solomonic, the judge reduced the fine to $15.
