COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
Home Repair & Contractor Services
Water came down from the unit above, and now your policy and the association's both need paperwork. In Columbia Heights we rebuild condo units from the top down and turn rentals around the neighbors.
Columbia Heights Is Rowhouses Split Into Condos
Columbia Heights is dense rowhouse blocks around 14th Street and the Metro, with DC USA and the Tivoli at the center.
A lot of those rowhouses are now two or three condos stacked on top of each other. Ownership is split floor by floor, and so is the damage when something goes wrong.
The local concept
Rowhouse Condo Conversions
A rowhouse condo conversion is a single rowhouse split into two or three separately owned units, one per floor.
A leak on the top floor reaches the bottom one. A small association, sometimes just the three owners, decides who fixes what.
