bull Percent of inspections resulted (with notice of violation or inspection reports) within 30 calendar days of initial inspection
o This KPI was included in both FY18 and FY19 and was adjusted to accommodate changes to DCRArsquos inspection and enforcement programs Beginning in FY19 certain inspection activities ceased the issuance of Notices of Violation (NOV) Further as the agency executed its digital transformation inspection activities were conducted via mobile platform which greatly reduced the time needed by inspectors to report their inspections
bull Percent of Housing notices of violation that are referred to the Office of Civil Infractions
within 60 days of re-inspection o This KPI was included in both FY18 and FY19 and was adjusted to accommodate
changes to DCRArsquos inspection and enforcement programs In FY19 DCRA stopped issuing Notices of Violation (NOV) for housing inspections as part of the Enforcement 20 effort to accelerate repair rates by going straight to issuing Notices of Infractions (NOIs) after being given an opportunity to abate the issue and failing to do so This has rendered this KPI moot It is important to note that 2 replacement KPIs were added in FY20 to ensure that DCRArsquos performance with

are initiated within 2 business days following inspections where violations were observed
bull Percent of construction inspections resulting in a disapproval by DCRA in accordance with
District Code o This KPI was dropped following its inaugural year in FY19 due to its dependence
upon the compliance and work product of the construction community in order for DCRA to achieve targeted performance levels

Question 43
Please describe what if any quality control mechanisms are in place to assess the performance of contractors conducting proactive inspections
Quality Assurance (QA) of proactive contract inspectors is accomplished in three phases with each phase having multiple layers of review Phase One is production oversight which is reviewed daily on an individual basis and weekly on a macro scale for the program Daily workload has an impact on an inspectorrsquos time to perform a quality inspection our proactive scheduling team reviews inspector workload on a daily basis to ensure tasking is commensurate with inspection quality objectives
PERFORMANCE OVERSIGHT HEARING - DCRA
Department of Consumer amp Regulatory Affairs ǀ 1100 4th Street SW Washington DC 20024 ǀ 2024424400 ǀ dcradcgov 80
Managers then review weekly production data monitoring daily production totals and other quality metrics such as the number of violations cited per inspector per unit including the diversity and correctness of the cited violations Phase Two involves QA of the actual inspection Prior to the Public Health Emergency (PHE) related to the Coronavirus pandemic DCRA managers performed routine ride-along inspection oversight with proactive inspectors During the PHE DCRA managers restricted their activity to reviews of the inspection results rather than exposing staff to increased COVID-19 transmission risk from close contact in vehicles and rental units DCRA is currently experimenting with virtual ride-along oversight where the manager can monitor the inspectors as they perform their inspections Phase Three QA oversight has multiple layers and occurs through the review of the inspection results Violations cited during the initial and re-inspection are monitored through photo evidence review by managers office staff and various legal team experts working with the courts and the property owners In the event an inspection anomaly is discovered that information is passed along to the manager and the inspector as a training or disciplinary action opportunity It should also be noted that ICC-certification as a Property Maintenance Inspector is a contractor hiring requirement certification establishes that an inspector has the basic knowledge and expertise required to perform a quality housing inspection All proactive contract inspectors possess and maintain ICC certifications DCRA proudly notes that three of the proactive contract inspectors were products of the Resident Inspector training and certification program
Question 44
Please describe the process DCRA uses to investigate and verify vacant and blighted building complaints In describing the process please provide information on any databases or sources of information DCRA uses to cross-check vacant property complaints
DCRA schedules properties for inspection based on complaints that are filed through the DC 311 system reports filed directly with DCRA (including our website intake form) referrals from the Metropolitan Police Department and Fire and EMS and referrals from ANC Commissioners Council offices and the Mayorrsquos office Following an inspection to determine whether the property meets the criteria for a vacant or blighted property DCRA submits the status change to the Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) DCRA sends changes to OTR on a daily basis along with any exemptions that have been approved or revoked
Each time a Construction Exemption is approved DCRA conducts a follow-up inspection of the property to validate if actual renovationconstruction activities are occurring within 90 days of the exemption
DCRA utilizes Accela OTRrsquos website Property Quest Recorder of Deeds Scout and our internal Customer Relationship Management system to research property information to respond to complaints DCRA also ensures that if multiple complaints about the same property come in the agency only schedules one inspection to avoid a duplication of efforts

Requiring the manager of our Consumer Protection Unit to sign off on every case before it is closed
Establishing a customer referral phone line and online customer relationship management form that the public can use to directly submit complaints
Improved communications between DCRA HSEMA FEMS and MPD DCRA is working to develop a stronger partnership with the Office of Tax and Revenue to
identify those reporting additional rental income but without a proper license Additionally we have recently completed the documentation for a procurement that will allow us to proactively identify likely unlicensed rentals (short and long-term) by comparing data from host sites where rentals are advertised with our licensee database
Regarding the Alvarez amp Marsal report which included 17 findings and observations relevant to DCRA DCRA had implemented 16 of the 17 findings as of last yearrsquos performance oversight hearing Since then the last observation has been addressed in the following ways
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Explore opportunities to improve building safety and use standards as a requirement to receive and maintain a BBL andor Certificate of Occupancy
o DCRA We evaluated our current processes and building safety standards to identify opportunities to improve and determined that working to better ensure compliance with current laws and standards was the best course of action DCRA also sent out public communications and has held a housing summit to provide information to housing providers on how to get and stay in compliance with our regulations DCRA has made a concerted effort to ensure BBL inspections are conducted and has modified practices from putting onus to license holders to contact the agency to proactively reaching out to license holders to schedule inspections DCRA frequently investigates complaints that relate to people working outside of their approved Certificate of Occupancy Currently the agency uses a risk-based approach when doing proactive compliance
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Consider pursing legislative and administrative reforms to empower the District to require recurring inspections on all rental properties and licensed businesses to confirm compliance with building zoning and fire code
o DCRA DCRA considered additional legislative and administrative reforms and determined that it is not a good use of current resources to inspect every business in the District but we are continually working to ensure that every rental property has been inspected As you can imagine this is a huge undertaking but one that we have approached aggressively Additionally we have increased the number of available inspectors we have available and have made a budget enhancement request for additional staffingmdashthese employees will be investigator inspector hybrid employees who will be able to be deployed where the need is greatest Finally we received budget support to improve our case management system in the coming fiscal year as

recommended by the Alvarez review We are currently completing requirements for this enhancement
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Consider improving proactive efforts to identify unlicensed rentals
o DCRA With regard to proactive identification of unlicensed rentals DCRA developed and implemented an Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to periodically take publicly available data from commercial rental websites and cross-reference it with internal DCRA data to determine whether addresses advertised for rent had an applicable business license Under the SOP based on the results of this analysis properties are referred for a housing inspection or a consumer protection investigation if certain thresholds are met When compared to previous years the agency has doubled the average number licenses renewed during the outreach period Using Civil Rule 204 as a guide DCRA has also documented our procedures related to Administrative Search Warrants Training on the policy and associated procedures has been provided to CPU investigators as well as inspectors Since issuance the agency has not had to request an ASW through the DC Superior Court

bull Percent of inspections resulted (with notice of violation or inspection reports) within 30 calendar days of initial inspection
o This KPI was included in both FY18 and FY19 and was adjusted to accommodate changes to DCRArsquos inspection and enforcement programs Beginning in FY19 certain inspection activities ceased the issuance of Notices of Violation (NOV) Further as the agency executed its digital transformation inspection activities were conducted via mobile platform which greatly reduced the time needed by inspectors to report their inspections
bull Percent of Housing notices of violation that are referred to the Office of Civil Infractions
within 60 days of re-inspection o This KPI was included in both FY18 and FY19 and was adjusted to accommodate
changes to DCRArsquos inspection and enforcement programs In FY19 DCRA stopped issuing Notices of Violation (NOV) for housing inspections as part of the Enforcement 20 effort to accelerate repair rates by going straight to issuing Notices of Infractions (NOIs) after being given an opportunity to abate the issue and failing to do so This has rendered this KPI moot It is important to note that 2 replacement KPIs were added in FY20 to ensure that DCRArsquos performance with

are initiated within 2 business days following inspections where violations were observed
bull Percent of construction inspections resulting in a disapproval by DCRA in accordance with
District Code o This KPI was dropped following its inaugural year in FY19 due to its dependence
upon the compliance and work product of the construction community in order for DCRA to achieve targeted performance levels

Question 43
Please describe what if any quality control mechanisms are in place to assess the performance of contractors conducting proactive inspections
Quality Assurance (QA) of proactive contract inspectors is accomplished in three phases with each phase having multiple layers of review Phase One is production oversight which is reviewed daily on an individual basis and weekly on a macro scale for the program Daily workload has an impact on an inspectorrsquos time to perform a quality inspection our proactive scheduling team reviews inspector workload on a daily basis to ensure tasking is commensurate with inspection quality objectives

Managers then review weekly production data monitoring daily production totals and other quality metrics such as the number of violations cited per inspector per unit including the diversity and correctness of the cited violations Phase Two involves QA of the actual inspection Prior to the Public Health Emergency (PHE) related to the Coronavirus pandemic DCRA managers performed routine ride-along inspection oversight with proactive inspectors During the PHE DCRA managers restricted their activity to reviews of the inspection results rather than exposing staff to increased COVID-19 transmission risk from close contact in vehicles and rental units DCRA is currently experimenting with virtual ride-along oversight where the manager can monitor the inspectors as they perform their inspections Phase Three QA oversight has multiple layers and occurs through the review of the inspection results Violations cited during the initial and re-inspection are monitored through photo evidence review by managers office staff and various legal team experts working with the courts and the property owners In the event an inspection anomaly is discovered that information is passed along to the manager and the inspector as a training or disciplinary action opportunity It should also be noted that ICC-certification as a Property Maintenance Inspector is a contractor hiring requirement certification establishes that an inspector has the basic knowledge and expertise required to perform a quality housing inspection All proactive contract inspectors possess and maintain ICC certifications DCRA proudly notes that three of the proactive contract inspectors were products of the Resident Inspector training and certification program

DCRA schedules properties for inspection based on complaints that are filed through the DC 311 system reports filed directly with DCRA (including our website intake form) referrals from the Metropolitan Police Department and Fire and EMS and referrals from ANC Commissioners Council offices and the Mayorrsquos office Following an inspection to determine whether the property meets the criteria for a vacant or blighted property DCRA submits the status change to the Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) DCRA sends changes to OTR on a daily basis along with any exemptions that have been approved or revoked
Each time a Construction Exemption is approved DCRA conducts a follow-up inspection of the property to validate if actual renovationconstruction activities are occurring within 90 days of the exemption
DCRA utilizes Accela OTRrsquos website Property Quest Recorder of Deeds Scout and our internal Customer Relationship Management system to research property information to respond to complaints DCRA also ensures that if multiple complaints about the same property come in the agency only schedules one inspection to avoid a duplication of efforts

Department of Consumer amp Regulatory Affairs ǀ 1100 4th Street SW Washington DC 20024 ǀ 2024424400 ǀ dcradcgov 83
Requiring the manager of our Consumer Protection Unit to sign off on every case before it is closed
Establishing a customer referral phone line and online customer relationship management form that the public can use to directly submit complaints
Improved communications between DCRA HSEMA FEMS and MPD DCRA is working to develop a stronger partnership with the Office of Tax and Revenue to
identify those reporting additional rental income but without a proper license Additionally we have recently completed the documentation for a procurement that will allow us to proactively identify likely unlicensed rentals (short and long-term) by comparing data from host sites where rentals are advertised with our licensee database
Regarding the Alvarez amp Marsal report which included 17 findings and observations relevant to DCRA DCRA had implemented 16 of the 17 findings as of last yearrsquos performance oversight hearing Since then the last observation has been addressed in the following ways
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Explore opportunities to improve building safety and use standards as a requirement to receive and maintain a BBL andor Certificate of Occupancy
o DCRA We evaluated our current processes and building safety standards to identify opportunities to improve and determined that working to better ensure compliance with current laws and standards was the best course of action DCRA also sent out public communications and has held a housing summit to provide information to housing providers on how to get and stay in compliance with our regulations DCRA has made a concerted effort to ensure BBL inspections are conducted and has modified practices from putting onus to license holders to contact the agency to proactively reaching out to license holders to schedule inspections DCRA frequently investigates complaints that relate to people working outside of their approved Certificate of Occupancy Currently the agency uses a risk-based approach when doing proactive compliance
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Consider pursing legislative and administrative reforms to empower the District to require recurring inspections on all rental properties and licensed businesses to confirm compliance with building zoning and fire code
o DCRA DCRA considered additional legislative and administrative reforms and determined that it is not a good use of current resources to inspect every business in the District but we are continually working to ensure that every rental property has been inspected As you can imagine this is a huge undertaking but one that we have approached aggressively Additionally we have increased the number of available inspectors we have available and have made a budget enhancement request for additional staffingmdashthese employees will be investigator inspector hybrid employees who will be able to be deployed where the need is greatest Finally we received budget support to improve our case management system in the coming fiscal year as

recommended by the Alvarez review We are currently completing requirements for this enhancement
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Consider improving proactive efforts to identify unlicensed rentals
o DCRA With regard to proactive identification of unlicensed rentals DCRA developed and implemented an Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to periodically take publicly available data from commercial rental websites and cross-reference it with internal DCRA data to determine whether addresses advertised for rent had an applicable business license Under the SOP based on the results of this analysis properties are referred for a housing inspection or a consumer protection investigation if certain thresholds are met When compared to previous years the agency has doubled the average number licenses renewed during the outreach period Using Civil Rule 204 as a guide DCRA has also documented our procedures related to Administrative Search Warrants Training on the policy and associated procedures has been provided to CPU investigators as well as inspectors Since issuance the agency has not had to request an ASW through the DC Superior Court

bull Percent of inspections resulted (with notice of violation or inspection reports) within 30 calendar days of initial inspection
o This KPI was included in both FY18 and FY19 and was adjusted to accommodate changes to DCRArsquos inspection and enforcement programs Beginning in FY19 certain inspection activities ceased the issuance of Notices of Violation (NOV) Further as the agency executed its digital transformation inspection activities were conducted via mobile platform which greatly reduced the time needed by inspectors to report their inspections
bull Percent of Housing notices of violation that are referred to the Office of Civil Infractions
within 60 days of re-inspection o This KPI was included in both FY18 and FY19 and was adjusted to accommodate
changes to DCRArsquos inspection and enforcement programs In FY19 DCRA stopped issuing Notices of Violation (NOV) for housing inspections as part of the Enforcement 20 effort to accelerate repair rates by going straight to issuing Notices of Infractions (NOIs) after being given an opportunity to abate the issue and failing to do so This has rendered this KPI moot It is important to note that 2 replacement KPIs were added in FY20 to ensure that DCRArsquos performance with

respect to Housing Enforcement remained timely and appropriate The 2 new FY 20 KPIs are as follows Percent of Property Maintenance (Housing) inspections that are completed

are initiated within 2 business days following inspections where violations were observed
bull Percent of construction inspections resulting in a disapproval by DCRA in accordance with
District Code o This KPI was dropped following its inaugural year in FY19 due to its dependence
upon the compliance and work product of the construction community in order for DCRA to achieve targeted performance levels

Question 43
Please describe what if any quality control mechanisms are in place to assess the performance of contractors conducting proactive inspections
Quality Assurance (QA) of proactive contract inspectors is accomplished in three phases with each phase having multiple layers of review Phase One is production oversight which is reviewed daily on an individual basis and weekly on a macro scale for the program Daily workload has an impact on an inspectorrsquos time to perform a quality inspection our proactive scheduling team reviews inspector workload on a daily basis to ensure tasking is commensurate with inspection quality objectives

Managers then review weekly production data monitoring daily production totals and other quality metrics such as the number of violations cited per inspector per unit including the diversity and correctness of the cited violations Phase Two involves QA of the actual inspection Prior to the Public Health Emergency (PHE) related to the Coronavirus pandemic DCRA managers performed routine ride-along inspection oversight with proactive inspectors During the PHE DCRA managers restricted their activity to reviews of the inspection results rather than exposing staff to increased COVID-19 transmission risk from close contact in vehicles and rental units DCRA is currently experimenting with virtual ride-along oversight where the manager can monitor the inspectors as they perform their inspections Phase Three QA oversight has multiple layers and occurs through the review of the inspection results Violations cited during the initial and re-inspection are monitored through photo evidence review by managers office staff and various legal team experts working with the courts and the property owners In the event an inspection anomaly is discovered that information is passed along to the manager and the inspector as a training or disciplinary action opportunity It should also be noted that ICC-certification as a Property Maintenance Inspector is a contractor hiring requirement certification establishes that an inspector has the basic knowledge and expertise required to perform a quality housing inspection All proactive contract inspectors possess and maintain ICC certifications DCRA proudly notes that three of the proactive contract inspectors were products of the Resident Inspector training and certification program

DCRA schedules properties for inspection based on complaints that are filed through the DC 311 system reports filed directly with DCRA (including our website intake form) referrals from the Metropolitan Police Department and Fire and EMS and referrals from ANC Commissioners Council offices and the Mayorrsquos office Following an inspection to determine whether the property meets the criteria for a vacant or blighted property DCRA submits the status change to the Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) DCRA sends changes to OTR on a daily basis along with any exemptions that have been approved or revoked
Each time a Construction Exemption is approved DCRA conducts a follow-up inspection of the property to validate if actual renovationconstruction activities are occurring within 90 days of the exemption
DCRA utilizes Accela OTRrsquos website Property Quest Recorder of Deeds Scout and our internal Customer Relationship Management system to research property information to respond to complaints DCRA also ensures that if multiple complaints about the same property come in the agency only schedules one inspection to avoid a duplication of efforts

Department of Consumer amp Regulatory Affairs ǀ 1100 4th Street SW Washington DC 20024 ǀ 2024424400 ǀ dcradcgov 83
Requiring the manager of our Consumer Protection Unit to sign off on every case before it is closed
Establishing a customer referral phone line and online customer relationship management form that the public can use to directly submit complaints
Improved communications between DCRA HSEMA FEMS and MPD DCRA is working to develop a stronger partnership with the Office of Tax and Revenue to
identify those reporting additional rental income but without a proper license Additionally we have recently completed the documentation for a procurement that will allow us to proactively identify likely unlicensed rentals (short and long-term) by comparing data from host sites where rentals are advertised with our licensee database
Regarding the Alvarez amp Marsal report which included 17 findings and observations relevant to DCRA DCRA had implemented 16 of the 17 findings as of last yearrsquos performance oversight hearing Since then the last observation has been addressed in the following ways
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Explore opportunities to improve building safety and use standards as a requirement to receive and maintain a BBL andor Certificate of Occupancy
o DCRA We evaluated our current processes and building safety standards to identify opportunities to improve and determined that working to better ensure compliance with current laws and standards was the best course of action DCRA also sent out public communications and has held a housing summit to provide information to housing providers on how to get and stay in compliance with our regulations DCRA has made a concerted effort to ensure BBL inspections are conducted and has modified practices from putting onus to license holders to contact the agency to proactively reaching out to license holders to schedule inspections DCRA frequently investigates complaints that relate to people working outside of their approved Certificate of Occupancy Currently the agency uses a risk-based approach when doing proactive compliance
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Consider pursing legislative and administrative reforms to empower the District to require recurring inspections on all rental properties and licensed businesses to confirm compliance with building zoning and fire code
o DCRA DCRA considered additional legislative and administrative reforms and determined that it is not a good use of current resources to inspect every business in the District but we are continually working to ensure that every rental property has been inspected As you can imagine this is a huge undertaking but one that we have approached aggressively Additionally we have increased the number of available inspectors we have available and have made a budget enhancement request for additional staffingmdashthese employees will be investigator inspector hybrid employees who will be able to be deployed where the need is greatest Finally we received budget support to improve our case management system in the coming fiscal year as

recommended by the Alvarez review We are currently completing requirements for this enhancement
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Consider improving proactive efforts to identify unlicensed rentals
o DCRA With regard to proactive identification of unlicensed rentals DCRA developed and implemented an Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to periodically take publicly available data from commercial rental websites and cross-reference it with internal DCRA data to determine whether addresses advertised for rent had an applicable business license Under the SOP based on the results of this analysis properties are referred for a housing inspection or a consumer protection investigation if certain thresholds are met When compared to previous years the agency has doubled the average number licenses renewed during the outreach period Using Civil Rule 204 as a guide DCRA has also documented our procedures related to Administrative Search Warrants Training on the policy and associated procedures has been provided to CPU investigators as well as inspectors Since issuance the agency has not had to request an ASW through the DC Superior Court

bull Percent of inspections resulted (with notice of violation or inspection reports) within 30 calendar days of initial inspection
o This KPI was included in both FY18 and FY19 and was adjusted to accommodate changes to DCRArsquos inspection and enforcement programs Beginning in FY19 certain inspection activities ceased the issuance of Notices of Violation (NOV) Further as the agency executed its digital transformation inspection activities were conducted via mobile platform which greatly reduced the time needed by inspectors to report their inspections
bull Percent of Housing notices of violation that are referred to the Office of Civil Infractions
within 60 days of re-inspection o This KPI was included in both FY18 and FY19 and was adjusted to accommodate
changes to DCRArsquos inspection and enforcement programs In FY19 DCRA stopped issuing Notices of Violation (NOV) for housing inspections as part of the Enforcement 20 effort to accelerate repair rates by going straight to issuing Notices of Infractions (NOIs) after being given an opportunity to abate the issue and failing to do so This has rendered this KPI moot It is important to note that 2 replacement KPIs were added in FY20 to ensure that DCRArsquos performance with

are initiated within 2 business days following inspections where violations were observed
bull Percent of construction inspections resulting in a disapproval by DCRA in accordance with
District Code o This KPI was dropped following its inaugural year in FY19 due to its dependence
upon the compliance and work product of the construction community in order for DCRA to achieve targeted performance levels

Question 43
Please describe what if any quality control mechanisms are in place to assess the performance of contractors conducting proactive inspections
Quality Assurance (QA) of proactive contract inspectors is accomplished in three phases with each phase having multiple layers of review Phase One is production oversight which is reviewed daily on an individual basis and weekly on a macro scale for the program Daily workload has an impact on an inspectorrsquos time to perform a quality inspection our proactive scheduling team reviews inspector workload on a daily basis to ensure tasking is commensurate with inspection quality objectives
PERFORMANCE OVERSIGHT HEARING - DCRA
Department of Consumer amp Regulatory Affairs ǀ 1100 4th Street SW Washington DC 20024 ǀ 2024424400 ǀ dcradcgov 80
Managers then review weekly production data monitoring daily production totals and other quality metrics such as the number of violations cited per inspector per unit including the diversity and correctness of the cited violations Phase Two involves QA of the actual inspection Prior to the Public Health Emergency (PHE) related to the Coronavirus pandemic DCRA managers performed routine ride-along inspection oversight with proactive inspectors During the PHE DCRA managers restricted their activity to reviews of the inspection results rather than exposing staff to increased COVID-19 transmission risk from close contact in vehicles and rental units DCRA is currently experimenting with virtual ride-along oversight where the manager can monitor the inspectors as they perform their inspections Phase Three QA oversight has multiple layers and occurs through the review of the inspection results Violations cited during the initial and re-inspection are monitored through photo evidence review by managers office staff and various legal team experts working with the courts and the property owners In the event an inspection anomaly is discovered that information is passed along to the manager and the inspector as a training or disciplinary action opportunity It should also be noted that ICC-certification as a Property Maintenance Inspector is a contractor hiring requirement certification establishes that an inspector has the basic knowledge and expertise required to perform a quality housing inspection All proactive contract inspectors possess and maintain ICC certifications DCRA proudly notes that three of the proactive contract inspectors were products of the Resident Inspector training and certification program
Question 44
Please describe the process DCRA uses to investigate and verify vacant and blighted building complaints In describing the process please provide information on any databases or sources of information DCRA uses to cross-check vacant property complaints
DCRA schedules properties for inspection based on complaints that are filed through the DC 311 system reports filed directly with DCRA (including our website intake form) referrals from the Metropolitan Police Department and Fire and EMS and referrals from ANC Commissioners Council offices and the Mayorrsquos office Following an inspection to determine whether the property meets the criteria for a vacant or blighted property DCRA submits the status change to the Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) DCRA sends changes to OTR on a daily basis along with any exemptions that have been approved or revoked
Each time a Construction Exemption is approved DCRA conducts a follow-up inspection of the property to validate if actual renovationconstruction activities are occurring within 90 days of the exemption
DCRA utilizes Accela OTRrsquos website Property Quest Recorder of Deeds Scout and our internal Customer Relationship Management system to research property information to respond to complaints DCRA also ensures that if multiple complaints about the same property come in the agency only schedules one inspection to avoid a duplication of efforts

Requiring the manager of our Consumer Protection Unit to sign off on every case before it is closed
Establishing a customer referral phone line and online customer relationship management form that the public can use to directly submit complaints
Improved communications between DCRA HSEMA FEMS and MPD DCRA is working to develop a stronger partnership with the Office of Tax and Revenue to
identify those reporting additional rental income but without a proper license Additionally we have recently completed the documentation for a procurement that will allow us to proactively identify likely unlicensed rentals (short and long-term) by comparing data from host sites where rentals are advertised with our licensee database
Regarding the Alvarez amp Marsal report which included 17 findings and observations relevant to DCRA DCRA had implemented 16 of the 17 findings as of last yearrsquos performance oversight hearing Since then the last observation has been addressed in the following ways
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Explore opportunities to improve building safety and use standards as a requirement to receive and maintain a BBL andor Certificate of Occupancy
o DCRA We evaluated our current processes and building safety standards to identify opportunities to improve and determined that working to better ensure compliance with current laws and standards was the best course of action DCRA also sent out public communications and has held a housing summit to provide information to housing providers on how to get and stay in compliance with our regulations DCRA has made a concerted effort to ensure BBL inspections are conducted and has modified practices from putting onus to license holders to contact the agency to proactively reaching out to license holders to schedule inspections DCRA frequently investigates complaints that relate to people working outside of their approved Certificate of Occupancy Currently the agency uses a risk-based approach when doing proactive compliance
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Consider pursing legislative and administrative reforms to empower the District to require recurring inspections on all rental properties and licensed businesses to confirm compliance with building zoning and fire code
o DCRA DCRA considered additional legislative and administrative reforms and determined that it is not a good use of current resources to inspect every business in the District but we are continually working to ensure that every rental property has been inspected As you can imagine this is a huge undertaking but one that we have approached aggressively Additionally we have increased the number of available inspectors we have available and have made a budget enhancement request for additional staffingmdashthese employees will be investigator inspector hybrid employees who will be able to be deployed where the need is greatest Finally we received budget support to improve our case management system in the coming fiscal year as

recommended by the Alvarez review We are currently completing requirements for this enhancement
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Consider improving proactive efforts to identify unlicensed rentals
o DCRA With regard to proactive identification of unlicensed rentals DCRA developed and implemented an Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to periodically take publicly available data from commercial rental websites and cross-reference it with internal DCRA data to determine whether addresses advertised for rent had an applicable business license Under the SOP based on the results of this analysis properties are referred for a housing inspection or a consumer protection investigation if certain thresholds are met When compared to previous years the agency has doubled the average number licenses renewed during the outreach period Using Civil Rule 204 as a guide DCRA has also documented our procedures related to Administrative Search Warrants Training on the policy and associated procedures has been provided to CPU investigators as well as inspectors Since issuance the agency has not had to request an ASW through the DC Superior Court

bull Percent of inspections resulted (with notice of violation or inspection reports) within 30 calendar days of initial inspection
o This KPI was included in both FY18 and FY19 and was adjusted to accommodate changes to DCRArsquos inspection and enforcement programs Beginning in FY19 certain inspection activities ceased the issuance of Notices of Violation (NOV) Further as the agency executed its digital transformation inspection activities were conducted via mobile platform which greatly reduced the time needed by inspectors to report their inspections
bull Percent of Housing notices of violation that are referred to the Office of Civil Infractions
within 60 days of re-inspection o This KPI was included in both FY18 and FY19 and was adjusted to accommodate
changes to DCRArsquos inspection and enforcement programs In FY19 DCRA stopped issuing Notices of Violation (NOV) for housing inspections as part of the Enforcement 20 effort to accelerate repair rates by going straight to issuing Notices of Infractions (NOIs) after being given an opportunity to abate the issue and failing to do so This has rendered this KPI moot It is important to note that 2 replacement KPIs were added in FY20 to ensure that DCRArsquos performance with

upon the compliance and work product of the construction community in order for DCRA to achieve targeted performance levels

Question 43
Please describe what if any quality control mechanisms are in place to assess the performance of contractors conducting proactive inspections
Quality Assurance (QA) of proactive contract inspectors is accomplished in three phases with each phase having multiple layers of review Phase One is production oversight which is reviewed daily on an individual basis and weekly on a macro scale for the program Daily workload has an impact on an inspectorrsquos time to perform a quality inspection our proactive scheduling team reviews inspector workload on a daily basis to ensure tasking is commensurate with inspection quality objectives
PERFORMANCE OVERSIGHT HEARING - DCRA
Department of Consumer amp Regulatory Affairs ǀ 1100 4th Street SW Washington DC 20024 ǀ 2024424400 ǀ dcradcgov 80
Managers then review weekly production data monitoring daily production totals and other quality metrics such as the number of violations cited per inspector per unit including the diversity and correctness of the cited violations Phase Two involves QA of the actual inspection Prior to the Public Health Emergency (PHE) related to the Coronavirus pandemic DCRA managers performed routine ride-along inspection oversight with proactive inspectors During the PHE DCRA managers restricted their activity to reviews of the inspection results rather than exposing staff to increased COVID-19 transmission risk from close contact in vehicles and rental units DCRA is currently experimenting with virtual ride-along oversight where the manager can monitor the inspectors as they perform their inspections Phase Three QA oversight has multiple layers and occurs through the review of the inspection results Violations cited during the initial and re-inspection are monitored through photo evidence review by managers office staff and various legal team experts working with the courts and the property owners In the event an inspection anomaly is discovered that information is passed along to the manager and the inspector as a training or disciplinary action opportunity It should also be noted that ICC-certification as a Property Maintenance Inspector is a contractor hiring requirement certification establishes that an inspector has the basic knowledge and expertise required to perform a quality housing inspection All proactive contract inspectors possess and maintain ICC certifications DCRA proudly notes that three of the proactive contract inspectors were products of the Resident Inspector training and certification program
Question 44
Please describe the process DCRA uses to investigate and verify vacant and blighted building complaints In describing the process please provide information on any databases or sources of information DCRA uses to cross-check vacant property complaints
DCRA schedules properties for inspection based on complaints that are filed through the DC 311 system reports filed directly with DCRA (including our website intake form) referrals from the Metropolitan Police Department and Fire and EMS and referrals from ANC Commissioners Council offices and the Mayorrsquos office Following an inspection to determine whether the property meets the criteria for a vacant or blighted property DCRA submits the status change to the Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) DCRA sends changes to OTR on a daily basis along with any exemptions that have been approved or revoked
Each time a Construction Exemption is approved DCRA conducts a follow-up inspection of the property to validate if actual renovationconstruction activities are occurring within 90 days of the exemption
DCRA utilizes Accela OTRrsquos website Property Quest Recorder of Deeds Scout and our internal Customer Relationship Management system to research property information to respond to complaints DCRA also ensures that if multiple complaints about the same property come in the agency only schedules one inspection to avoid a duplication of efforts

Requiring the manager of our Consumer Protection Unit to sign off on every case before it is closed
Establishing a customer referral phone line and online customer relationship management form that the public can use to directly submit complaints
Improved communications between DCRA HSEMA FEMS and MPD DCRA is working to develop a stronger partnership with the Office of Tax and Revenue to
identify those reporting additional rental income but without a proper license Additionally we have recently completed the documentation for a procurement that will allow us to proactively identify likely unlicensed rentals (short and long-term) by comparing data from host sites where rentals are advertised with our licensee database
Regarding the Alvarez amp Marsal report which included 17 findings and observations relevant to DCRA DCRA had implemented 16 of the 17 findings as of last yearrsquos performance oversight hearing Since then the last observation has been addressed in the following ways
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Explore opportunities to improve building safety and use standards as a requirement to receive and maintain a BBL andor Certificate of Occupancy
o DCRA We evaluated our current processes and building safety standards to identify opportunities to improve and determined that working to better ensure compliance with current laws and standards was the best course of action DCRA also sent out public communications and has held a housing summit to provide information to housing providers on how to get and stay in compliance with our regulations DCRA has made a concerted effort to ensure BBL inspections are conducted and has modified practices from putting onus to license holders to contact the agency to proactively reaching out to license holders to schedule inspections DCRA frequently investigates complaints that relate to people working outside of their approved Certificate of Occupancy Currently the agency uses a risk-based approach when doing proactive compliance
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Consider pursing legislative and administrative reforms to empower the District to require recurring inspections on all rental properties and licensed businesses to confirm compliance with building zoning and fire code
o DCRA DCRA considered additional legislative and administrative reforms and determined that it is not a good use of current resources to inspect every business in the District but we are continually working to ensure that every rental property has been inspected As you can imagine this is a huge undertaking but one that we have approached aggressively Additionally we have increased the number of available inspectors we have available and have made a budget enhancement request for additional staffingmdashthese employees will be investigator inspector hybrid employees who will be able to be deployed where the need is greatest Finally we received budget support to improve our case management system in the coming fiscal year as

recommended by the Alvarez review We are currently completing requirements for this enhancement
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Consider improving proactive efforts to identify unlicensed rentals
o DCRA With regard to proactive identification of unlicensed rentals DCRA developed and implemented an Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to periodically take publicly available data from commercial rental websites and cross-reference it with internal DCRA data to determine whether addresses advertised for rent had an applicable business license Under the SOP based on the results of this analysis properties are referred for a housing inspection or a consumer protection investigation if certain thresholds are met When compared to previous years the agency has doubled the average number licenses renewed during the outreach period Using Civil Rule 204 as a guide DCRA has also documented our procedures related to Administrative Search Warrants Training on the policy and associated procedures has been provided to CPU investigators as well as inspectors Since issuance the agency has not had to request an ASW through the DC Superior Court

administrative search warrant (POLICY-20-002) The use of such a tool would only be
deployed in situations that are possibly life threatening (where fire or other structural
hazards have been substantiated by a referring agency or tenant) Even if we are not
approved for an administrative search warrant if there is enough information for an
NOI the investigator should issue and close the case If there is not enough information
to support the NOI the case should be closed

bull Percent of inspections resulted (with notice of violation or inspection reports) within 30 calendar days of initial inspection
o This KPI was included in both FY18 and FY19 and was adjusted to accommodate changes to DCRArsquos inspection and enforcement programs Beginning in FY19 certain inspection activities ceased the issuance of Notices of Violation (NOV) Further as the agency executed its digital transformation inspection activities were conducted via mobile platform which greatly reduced the time needed by inspectors to report their inspections
bull Percent of Housing notices of violation that are referred to the Office of Civil Infractions
within 60 days of re-inspection o This KPI was included in both FY18 and FY19 and was adjusted to accommodate
changes to DCRArsquos inspection and enforcement programs In FY19 DCRA stopped issuing Notices of Violation (NOV) for housing inspections as part of the Enforcement 20 effort to accelerate repair rates by going straight to issuing Notices of Infractions (NOIs) after being given an opportunity to abate the issue and failing to do so This has rendered this KPI moot It is important to note that 2 replacement KPIs were added in FY20 to ensure that DCRArsquos performance with

are initiated within 2 business days following inspections where violations were observed
bull Percent of construction inspections resulting in a disapproval by DCRA in accordance with
District Code o This KPI was dropped following its inaugural year in FY19 due to its dependence
upon the compliance and work product of the construction community in order for DCRA to achieve targeted performance levels

Question 43
Please describe what if any quality control mechanisms are in place to assess the performance of contractors conducting proactive inspections
Quality Assurance (QA) of proactive contract inspectors is accomplished in three phases with each phase having multiple layers of review Phase One is production oversight which is reviewed daily on an individual basis and weekly on a macro scale for the program Daily workload has an impact on an inspectorrsquos time to perform a quality inspection our proactive scheduling team reviews inspector workload on a daily basis to ensure tasking is commensurate with inspection quality objectives
PERFORMANCE OVERSIGHT HEARING - DCRA
Department of Consumer amp Regulatory Affairs ǀ 1100 4th Street SW Washington DC 20024 ǀ 2024424400 ǀ dcradcgov 80
Managers then review weekly production data monitoring daily production totals and other quality metrics such as the number of violations cited per inspector per unit including the diversity and correctness of the cited violations Phase Two involves QA of the actual inspection Prior to the Public Health Emergency (PHE) related to the Coronavirus pandemic DCRA managers performed routine ride-along inspection oversight with proactive inspectors During the PHE DCRA managers restricted their activity to reviews of the inspection results rather than exposing staff to increased COVID-19 transmission risk from close contact in vehicles and rental units DCRA is currently experimenting with virtual ride-along oversight where the manager can monitor the inspectors as they perform their inspections Phase Three QA oversight has multiple layers and occurs through the review of the inspection results Violations cited during the initial and re-inspection are monitored through photo evidence review by managers office staff and various legal team experts working with the courts and the property owners In the event an inspection anomaly is discovered that information is passed along to the manager and the inspector as a training or disciplinary action opportunity It should also be noted that ICC-certification as a Property Maintenance Inspector is a contractor hiring requirement certification establishes that an inspector has the basic knowledge and expertise required to perform a quality housing inspection All proactive contract inspectors possess and maintain ICC certifications DCRA proudly notes that three of the proactive contract inspectors were products of the Resident Inspector training and certification program
Question 44
Please describe the process DCRA uses to investigate and verify vacant and blighted building complaints In describing the process please provide information on any databases or sources of information DCRA uses to cross-check vacant property complaints
DCRA schedules properties for inspection based on complaints that are filed through the DC 311 system reports filed directly with DCRA (including our website intake form) referrals from the Metropolitan Police Department and Fire and EMS and referrals from ANC Commissioners Council offices and the Mayorrsquos office Following an inspection to determine whether the property meets the criteria for a vacant or blighted property DCRA submits the status change to the Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) DCRA sends changes to OTR on a daily basis along with any exemptions that have been approved or revoked
Each time a Construction Exemption is approved DCRA conducts a follow-up inspection of the property to validate if actual renovationconstruction activities are occurring within 90 days of the exemption
DCRA utilizes Accela OTRrsquos website Property Quest Recorder of Deeds Scout and our internal Customer Relationship Management system to research property information to respond to complaints DCRA also ensures that if multiple complaints about the same property come in the agency only schedules one inspection to avoid a duplication of efforts

Developing and strengthening numerous SOPs New and ongoing training sessions
PERFORMANCE OVERSIGHT HEARING - DCRA
Department of Consumer amp Regulatory Affairs ǀ 1100 4th Street SW Washington DC 20024 ǀ 2024424400 ǀ dcradcgov 83
Requiring the manager of our Consumer Protection Unit to sign off on every case before it is closed
Establishing a customer referral phone line and online customer relationship management form that the public can use to directly submit complaints
Improved communications between DCRA HSEMA FEMS and MPD DCRA is working to develop a stronger partnership with the Office of Tax and Revenue to
identify those reporting additional rental income but without a proper license Additionally we have recently completed the documentation for a procurement that will allow us to proactively identify likely unlicensed rentals (short and long-term) by comparing data from host sites where rentals are advertised with our licensee database
Regarding the Alvarez amp Marsal report which included 17 findings and observations relevant to DCRA DCRA had implemented 16 of the 17 findings as of last yearrsquos performance oversight hearing Since then the last observation has been addressed in the following ways
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Explore opportunities to improve building safety and use standards as a requirement to receive and maintain a BBL andor Certificate of Occupancy
o DCRA We evaluated our current processes and building safety standards to identify opportunities to improve and determined that working to better ensure compliance with current laws and standards was the best course of action DCRA also sent out public communications and has held a housing summit to provide information to housing providers on how to get and stay in compliance with our regulations DCRA has made a concerted effort to ensure BBL inspections are conducted and has modified practices from putting onus to license holders to contact the agency to proactively reaching out to license holders to schedule inspections DCRA frequently investigates complaints that relate to people working outside of their approved Certificate of Occupancy Currently the agency uses a risk-based approach when doing proactive compliance
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Consider pursing legislative and administrative reforms to empower the District to require recurring inspections on all rental properties and licensed businesses to confirm compliance with building zoning and fire code
o DCRA DCRA considered additional legislative and administrative reforms and determined that it is not a good use of current resources to inspect every business in the District but we are continually working to ensure that every rental property has been inspected As you can imagine this is a huge undertaking but one that we have approached aggressively Additionally we have increased the number of available inspectors we have available and have made a budget enhancement request for additional staffingmdashthese employees will be investigator inspector hybrid employees who will be able to be deployed where the need is greatest Finally we received budget support to improve our case management system in the coming fiscal year as

recommended by the Alvarez review We are currently completing requirements for this enhancement
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Consider improving proactive efforts to identify unlicensed rentals
o DCRA With regard to proactive identification of unlicensed rentals DCRA developed and implemented an Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to periodically take publicly available data from commercial rental websites and cross-reference it with internal DCRA data to determine whether addresses advertised for rent had an applicable business license Under the SOP based on the results of this analysis properties are referred for a housing inspection or a consumer protection investigation if certain thresholds are met When compared to previous years the agency has doubled the average number licenses renewed during the outreach period Using Civil Rule 204 as a guide DCRA has also documented our procedures related to Administrative Search Warrants Training on the policy and associated procedures has been provided to CPU investigators as well as inspectors Since issuance the agency has not had to request an ASW through the DC Superior Court

Note Prior to determination of the property being used for leaserental if the property
owner fails to respond to the investigatorrsquos contacts the investigator should submit
hisher findings to the program manager who will consult with the Office of the General
Counsel (OGC) for the appropriate next steps
Additional attempts should be made to contact the owner at their place of employment
and any other listed location discovered through research There should be a minimum
of three (3) attempts made in person to reach the owner
Multiple variables exist that would determine if DCRA has the ability to obtain an
administrative search warrant (POLICY-20-002) The use of such a tool would only be
deployed in situations that are possibly life threatening (where fire or other structural
hazards have been substantiated by a referring agency or tenant) Even if we are not
approved for an administrative search warrant if there is enough information for an
NOI the investigator should issue and close the case If there is not enough information
to support the NOI the case should be closed
This process will be used for all types of rental property investigations Each investigator
should do these steps as a minimum however they are encouraged to be as detailed as
possible document all facts associated with the case and seek guidance from the
Program Manager and Office of the General Counsel as needed

bull Percent of inspections resulted (with notice of violation or inspection reports) within 30 calendar days of initial inspection
o This KPI was included in both FY18 and FY19 and was adjusted to accommodate changes to DCRArsquos inspection and enforcement programs Beginning in FY19 certain inspection activities ceased the issuance of Notices of Violation (NOV) Further as the agency executed its digital transformation inspection activities were conducted via mobile platform which greatly reduced the time needed by inspectors to report their inspections
bull Percent of Housing notices of violation that are referred to the Office of Civil Infractions
within 60 days of re-inspection o This KPI was included in both FY18 and FY19 and was adjusted to accommodate
changes to DCRArsquos inspection and enforcement programs In FY19 DCRA stopped issuing Notices of Violation (NOV) for housing inspections as part of the Enforcement 20 effort to accelerate repair rates by going straight to issuing Notices of Infractions (NOIs) after being given an opportunity to abate the issue and failing to do so This has rendered this KPI moot It is important to note that 2 replacement KPIs were added in FY20 to ensure that DCRArsquos performance with

respect to Housing Enforcement remained timely and appropriate The 2 new FY 20 KPIs are as follows Percent of Property Maintenance (Housing) inspections that are completed

are initiated within 2 business days following inspections where violations were observed
bull Percent of construction inspections resulting in a disapproval by DCRA in accordance with
District Code o This KPI was dropped following its inaugural year in FY19 due to its dependence
upon the compliance and work product of the construction community in order for DCRA to achieve targeted performance levels

Managers then review weekly production data monitoring daily production totals and other quality metrics such as the number of violations cited per inspector per unit including the diversity and correctness of the cited violations Phase Two involves QA of the actual inspection Prior to the Public Health Emergency (PHE) related to the Coronavirus pandemic DCRA managers performed routine ride-along inspection oversight with proactive inspectors During the PHE DCRA managers restricted their activity to reviews of the inspection results rather than exposing staff to increased COVID-19 transmission risk from close contact in vehicles and rental units DCRA is currently experimenting with virtual ride-along oversight where the manager can monitor the inspectors as they perform their inspections Phase Three QA oversight has multiple layers and occurs through the review of the inspection results Violations cited during the initial and re-inspection are monitored through photo evidence review by managers office staff and various legal team experts working with the courts and the property owners In the event an inspection anomaly is discovered that information is passed along to the manager and the inspector as a training or disciplinary action opportunity It should also be noted that ICC-certification as a Property Maintenance Inspector is a contractor hiring requirement certification establishes that an inspector has the basic knowledge and expertise required to perform a quality housing inspection All proactive contract inspectors possess and maintain ICC certifications DCRA proudly notes that three of the proactive contract inspectors were products of the Resident Inspector training and certification program
Question 44
Please describe the process DCRA uses to investigate and verify vacant and blighted building complaints In describing the process please provide information on any databases or sources of information DCRA uses to cross-check vacant property complaints
DCRA schedules properties for inspection based on complaints that are filed through the DC 311 system reports filed directly with DCRA (including our website intake form) referrals from the Metropolitan Police Department and Fire and EMS and referrals from ANC Commissioners Council offices and the Mayorrsquos office Following an inspection to determine whether the property meets the criteria for a vacant or blighted property DCRA submits the status change to the Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) DCRA sends changes to OTR on a daily basis along with any exemptions that have been approved or revoked
Each time a Construction Exemption is approved DCRA conducts a follow-up inspection of the property to validate if actual renovationconstruction activities are occurring within 90 days of the exemption
DCRA utilizes Accela OTRrsquos website Property Quest Recorder of Deeds Scout and our internal Customer Relationship Management system to research property information to respond to complaints DCRA also ensures that if multiple complaints about the same property come in the agency only schedules one inspection to avoid a duplication of efforts

Department of Consumer amp Regulatory Affairs ǀ 1100 4th Street SW Washington DC 20024 ǀ 2024424400 ǀ dcradcgov 83
Requiring the manager of our Consumer Protection Unit to sign off on every case before it is closed
Establishing a customer referral phone line and online customer relationship management form that the public can use to directly submit complaints
Improved communications between DCRA HSEMA FEMS and MPD DCRA is working to develop a stronger partnership with the Office of Tax and Revenue to
identify those reporting additional rental income but without a proper license Additionally we have recently completed the documentation for a procurement that will allow us to proactively identify likely unlicensed rentals (short and long-term) by comparing data from host sites where rentals are advertised with our licensee database
Regarding the Alvarez amp Marsal report which included 17 findings and observations relevant to DCRA DCRA had implemented 16 of the 17 findings as of last yearrsquos performance oversight hearing Since then the last observation has been addressed in the following ways
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Explore opportunities to improve building safety and use standards as a requirement to receive and maintain a BBL andor Certificate of Occupancy
o DCRA We evaluated our current processes and building safety standards to identify opportunities to improve and determined that working to better ensure compliance with current laws and standards was the best course of action DCRA also sent out public communications and has held a housing summit to provide information to housing providers on how to get and stay in compliance with our regulations DCRA has made a concerted effort to ensure BBL inspections are conducted and has modified practices from putting onus to license holders to contact the agency to proactively reaching out to license holders to schedule inspections DCRA frequently investigates complaints that relate to people working outside of their approved Certificate of Occupancy Currently the agency uses a risk-based approach when doing proactive compliance
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Consider pursing legislative and administrative reforms to empower the District to require recurring inspections on all rental properties and licensed businesses to confirm compliance with building zoning and fire code
o DCRA DCRA considered additional legislative and administrative reforms and determined that it is not a good use of current resources to inspect every business in the District but we are continually working to ensure that every rental property has been inspected As you can imagine this is a huge undertaking but one that we have approached aggressively Additionally we have increased the number of available inspectors we have available and have made a budget enhancement request for additional staffingmdashthese employees will be investigator inspector hybrid employees who will be able to be deployed where the need is greatest Finally we received budget support to improve our case management system in the coming fiscal year as

recommended by the Alvarez review We are currently completing requirements for this enhancement
bull Alvarez amp Marsal report recommendation Consider improving proactive efforts to identify unlicensed rentals
o DCRA With regard to proactive identification of unlicensed rentals DCRA developed and implemented an Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to periodically take publicly available data from commercial rental websites and cross-reference it with internal DCRA data to determine whether addresses advertised for rent had an applicable business license Under the SOP based on the results of this analysis properties are referred for a housing inspection or a consumer protection investigation if certain thresholds are met When compared to previous years the agency has doubled the average number licenses renewed during the outreach period Using Civil Rule 204 as a guide DCRA has also documented our procedures related to Administrative Search Warrants Training on the policy and associated procedures has been provided to CPU investigators as well as inspectors Since issuance the agency has not had to request an ASW through the DC Superior Court
