Edit: I read 1990.

Up to 1997/1998 mainly all of NW west of Dupont Circle.

Georgetown + Woodley Park + parts of Palisades, etc . Very few parts of Capitol Hill, too. But you needed to know your way around.

Best Addresses was a book about the most elegant apartment/condo buildings in DC . A few on Connecticut Ave, California St , Columbia Rd and Dupont Circle.

Then gentrification happened, and living east of Dupont Circle was in.

DC was designed upto Florida Ave NW. This is the old DC. When you pass the Duke Ellington bridge is where the "suburbs" start .

This should be illegal. I've been a landlord in DC and owned condos I rented out, or family members lived in rentals . Mostly 20009 + 20007 zip codes.

The OWNER pays for the water. In the condos, we/they never got a water bill. It's part of the building expenses that are part of the condo fee, which again is paid by the OWNER, not the tenant.

If you are not being individually metered, I don't think dividing the bill is even fair /legal.

This is probably happening in recently built buildings where the developers own the property and squeeze every $$ out of their tenants.
