Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main zoning requirements for converting a building in DC?

DC zoning regulations require specific lot sizes, setbacks, and floor-area ratios (FAR) to convert single-family properties into multi-family condo units (e.g., in zones like RF-1). We review the site plans to verify compliance with zoning laws before starting construction.

How do you handle the separation of water and electrical utilities?

Separating utilities is a critical part of condo conversions. We work directly with Pepco and DC Water to install separate meters and utility hookups for each condo unit, ensuring legal compliance and separate billing for future owners.

What is TOPA, and how does it affect conversions?

The Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA) gives tenants in DC the right to purchase the property if it is being sold or converted. We ensure all TOPA requirements are completed or waivers are legally obtained before any construction or conversion begins. Being CBE and SLBE certified with strict OSHA compliant jobsites, we manage zoning approvals and utility separations cleanly.
