Mr. Julian R. Dugas
City Administrator
District of Columbia
Dear Mr. Dugas:
The General Accounting Office has completed its review of activities
in the District's 14th Street urban renewal area. You were previously
provided with a copy of a report summarizing the results of our review
which was issued to the Chairman, Subcommittee on the District of
Columbia, Senate Appropriations Committee at his request. Copies were
provided also to other interested Congressional committees, the Mayor
and City Council and to other District officiais.
The enclosure to this letter contains details of our findings and
conclusions, which are being provided to assist District officials in
correcting the problems we noted. Several recommendations to the
Mayor, which were included in our summary report have been re-stated
in the enclosure. Our findings relate primarily to the:
--need to establish a system that will quickly identify buildings
ready for demolition;
--slow progress in getting new housing units constructed and
existing housing rehabilitated,
--lack of a management information system which would control
properties from the time they are designated until they are
disposed of and would keep track of tenants;
--need for further improvements in property management and
--potential'for improving land disposition activities.
Our recommendations are listed beginning on Page 1 of the enclosure
for your convenience.
