This is not a DPW issue. The DC Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) has the exclusive authority to issue citations for high grass on private property. DCRA regulates several types of excessive vegetative growth including: kudzu, poison ivy, oak and sumac, plants with obnoxious odors, weeds, grasses causing hay fever, and any weed growth that creates a breeding place for mosquitoes. Residents should report suspected violations to DCRA at (202) 442-9557 (choose option 6) or email complaints to dcra.housingcomplaints@dc.gov.. Residents can also send Tweets to @dcra - include photos if you'd like - of properties with grass and/or weeds exceeding 10 inches.
