The District of Columbia Service of Housing Code Complaint and Summons Instruction Sheet is a document provided by the District of Columbia Department of Housing and Community Development (DCD) to help individuals who have experienced a violation of the District’s housing code. It contains instructions on how to file a complaint with DCD and how to serve a summons on the person or entity responsible for the violation. The instruction sheet outlines the process of filing a complaint, including the necessary forms to complete, the time limit for filing, and how to serve the summons. The instruction sheet also includes a list of the most common housing code violations and a copy of the summons form. There are two types of instruction sheets: one for residential rental properties and one for all other properties. Both sheets provide detailed information to help individuals properly file a complaint and serve a summons in the District of Columbia.
