No drinking fountain is provided
Mechanical (HVAC) at 888 17th St NW, Washington
DC Department of Buildings permit MVQ2600068: issued Jun 3, 2026 for mechanical (hvac) work at 888 17th St NW. No drinking fountain is provided, even though at DCPC 403.1 the total occupant load of the project would otherwise require it, for two reasons: a. The proposed occ. load increase was requested by the tenant only to accommodate occasional catered events for customers within the 1,495sf M occupancy portion of the project. These events are only a few hours duration, usually in the evening. The project is still just a retail shop. The existing space configuration supports the proposed total occupant load in terms of structure, life safety, accessibility, ventilation, and all other applicable criteria. b. It is highly impractical to provide a drinking fountain (which is really two fountains, in terms of floor space) in the existing space configuration.

Type of work and status are our own standard labels, so permits compare across cities. The city's wording is in the "City's category" and "City's status" rows. We show costs under $100 as not listed, because filers often enter $0 or $1 when the city doesn't require a cost.
