High number of calls to police persist in October 2024

The high number of calls from residents of 3003 Van Ness for police assistance continued in October, including for assaults, a stabbing, disorderly conduct, verbal harassment, burglary and noise complaints.

Until about five years ago, 3003 Van Ness was a quiet building occupied mostly by seniors and young professionals. Very few calls from police assistance were made from the building. The number of such calls has skyrocketed in recent years, both at 3003 Van Ness and at other large apartment buildings along Connecticut Avenue. The Bowser administration has taken no action to address these issues.
