Call me crazy but this stinks...1225 5th st NW is on the market, again, for almost a million dollars. They are including 1223 5th, the lot that was illegally paved & fenced...That situation was just recently resolved - DC made the owner lower the fence and put in some plants. Now this place has been vacant for many years now, not a dime of vacant property tax has ever been charged of course. The owner, Sunrise Academy, has done work to the house, sometimes even with permits...looking at the listing photos of the interior, its evident that the renovation was never intended for school use. Indeed the listing claims the house is 2 condos. I have been yammering about this school speculating on real estate mostly in our neighborhood but in MD too, on the taxpayers dime. They have gotten millions of dollars in DC government money and they have bought & sold multiple properties wiith it. Now they are trying to sell this one, again, for a profit. Given the school's history (the founder went to jail for a bit, they were using 5 or six buildings on 6th for school use and not zoned/licensed for it, idling school buses every day...) this is extremely sketchy! When the city dumps our taxpayer money into something there has GOT to be some accountability!
