ground floor unit with bars on the windows? not all that outrageous.

Yeah I've lived in plenty of houses with bars on the window.

It's so people don't break in...

Point being, top 50 most powerful person in DC and suspected pedo randomly buying sketchy home with large rear compound next to a park? makes sense to me

I agree, this is uncharacteristic of a wealthy couple.

Could a place they plan to flip. There are a lot of parks in DC.

Its in a rapidly gentrifying area. So bars on windows are from the fact that the neighborhood was dangerous 5-10 years ago. Its now a hip spot to live and the houses are expensive. Y'all retarded.

Describing it as a "complex" or "compound" is a bit much IMO

To be fair I doubt these guys are abducting kids from the park, they would have been busted long ago.

The only way this is going anywhere is some good old-fashioned citizen journalism.

Someone who lives in or near D.C. is gonna have to look into this with a smartphone/GoPro camera.

damn I wish I lived there. I'm missing out on all the danger / adventure :(

I feel you. I would march down there in a hot minute in a very nosy fashion if I could.

I live close but this shit honestly scares the crap out of me man.

ArchonFall4All | 22 points | Nov 11 2016 23:19:04

But the property with bars on the windows is an end unit. The one he owns is sandwiched between two other units. So I'm not seeing how this is a huge lead

ltrytoohard | 15 points | Nov 12 2016 04:01:29

This is such a stretch. While I do believe this Jimmy comet dude is complete sketch, barred windows and a scooter by the garbage can is just a reach.

Check out the massive ghost of the house behind on satalite view on Google Maps. WTF? Sorry, i'm new here so i havn't figured out how to post as screenshot yet on this set-up.

Sorry, being lazy, here:

Did I get the address right? I had to type the address in manually, but the place looks different?

Something is being covered?

Ohhrubyy | 3 points | Nov 12 2016 06:44:03

That's just the sun washing out the roof and a grainy photo. The things that look like eyes are probably more windows/air ducts like the other ones

Here is a closer look with a child's scooter and bed-end thown out?

Not sure how significant this is - it's behind his actual address anyway.

permalink

Lonslock | 6 points | Nov 12 2016 02:41:57

That's an ironing board and scooter, but the scooter is important. So far every place these people are associated with have obvious signs of children being there like toys and scooters, that tells us something imo

permalink

IbaFoo | 3 points | Nov 12 2016 03:00:11

Has anyone verified he has no kids of his own?

permalink

Lonslock | 4 points | Nov 12 2016 03:02:03

Rich guy like that isn't putting his own kid in a house like that even if he had one

permalink

deplorablecalifornia | 3 points | Nov 12 2016 02:09:17

good find, why is there a scooter there?

permalink

SpezPrepsTheBull | 3 points | Nov 12 2016 02:15:54

That is an ironing board.

They appear on satellite image to belong to the house next door to Alefatness' house, which is different from the building with iron bars & a garage door.

https://www.buildzoom.com/property-info/3518-11th-st-nw-washington-dc Probably nothing

Repairs of rear porch and steps in a single family dwelling.

There seems to be no rear porch. How old is the google earth image.

Anyone live nearby?

permalink

IbaFoo | 3 points | Nov 12 2016 03:10:18

Why do you believe Alefatness owns both of the buildings you're picturing here? The permit asserts he only owns one of them.

Also, per google maps the area with the ironing board & scooter appear to be for the house next door to his.

commetPI | 2 points | Nov 12 2016 01:44:19

Good to have an address, but bar proove nothing. For a wealthy man, i'm betting it's not his primary residence though, so what's it used for? Any other connections/businesses linked to this address?

permalink

commetPI | 2 points | Nov 12 2016 02:20:52

Lots of entrances to this place and two garage doors. Window open up top at the front. Looks like the entrance to the left could be a club of some-kind with a lef-over been can by the door. Seems strange, but we can't link this to him on the basis it's behind his property.

chayesdigital | 3 points | Nov 12 2016 02:40:03

Remember based on Comet Pizza, they like to hold multiple buildings around the same location. It's worth looking into. IMO.

It's not even the same building, what makes you think he owns both?

Something potentially worth looking into, but don't act like it's "HUGE" until we actually find something incriminating. What is the significance of the gnome/rabbit supposed to be?

"WTF is DOWN HERE"? Looks pretty normal to me.
