Property Highlights

The subject property is located in a commercial and industrial area of North West DC and is currently used as a parking lot by Howard University. The site is chain-link fenced and access to it is through three unlocked and uncontrolled gates, two on the Sherman Ave/Florida Ave and one in the rear of the courtyard at 9th Street. A small brick/block abandoned two-story building sits in the east-central portion of the site on Florida Aveenue and the building is not accessible. The building is in a state of dispair, and peeling interior paint was observed . Evidence of a potential UST was observed at the rear of the building and what appeared to be a capped fill pipe material protrudes from the ground surface a few feet from the building wall. Two electrical transformers are located near the northwest corner of the site and appear to serve the adjacent Howard University dormitory building. The transformers are located within a fenced enclosure and supported by cement-filled steel bollards. A plumbing supply company- the Atlantic Plumbing Supply Co. is located adjacent to this site to the south of it and to the north is the Howard University dormitory which was constructed in 1988.

There is a small abandoned two story brick structures used as office building located near the west central portion of the property and a two pad mounted electrical transformers located on the north west portion.
