We live next door to one of these group homes and it’s pretty infuriating. It’s not up to code and the owner is renting it out without a rental license to 4 separate families. It used to be a single family home. They literally have 6 cars and two large work vans that decrease visibility along the street (safety issue when kids are playing outside).
And yes, the cars are late model, new and not cheap cars.
If it's not up to code, then why haven't you notified the relevant authorities responsible for enforcing code?
NP. Because code isn’t enforced when you do
Then document the lack of code enforcement and take it up the chain.
My neighbors tried this with the two illegally rented homes in our Silver Spring neighborhood. They are both owned by the same landlord. Code enforcement is incredibly over-worked and understaffed. It takes a while for anyone to even come out to the homes. And, when they finally did, it's quite difficult to prove who actually lives there. Also, the people are paying cash to the landlord, so no money trail to prove that it is actually a rental. It's crazy. The case is currently tied up in the courts.
And, honestly, sometimes in MoCo, code enforcement just looks the other way in these cases. They know it's not good PR to crack down on these homes for undocumented immigrants, so they just let them slide.
If it's not up to code, who lives there is irrelevant... code enforcement is supposed to take it up with the landlord. So again, I have trouble believing this.

Think there’s a connection?
You mean unskilled, uneducated, illiterate illegal aliens from Central America?
I thought they all went to sanctuary city MoCo and CASA de Maryland for their welcome package, free housing and stuff. Send them there, not WDC.
They are not getting "free housing and stuff."
Yeah, they are.
DC is not MoCo or CASA and temporary shelter is not “free housing” and a non profit helping people is more American than putting people in jail for immigrating.
Are the DC homeless afforded the same opportunity.... hotel housing?
Yes, in the exact same place. The Days Inn on NY Ave.
