Okay, I just spent that last few fcking hours tracking this down and I could have used the time to make actual money, but what the hey? I'm going to put everything down and don't fckng care if some of this has been said before. Just take what you will out of it. So I started with the square footage of Comet which I found here:
http://www.propertyshark.com/mason/Property/11881126/5037-Connecticut-Ave-NW-Washington-DC-20008/
It has 3925 square feet. That would be equivalent to this two story home for perspective:
https://www.houseplans.com/plan/3925-square-feet-4-bedrooms-3-5-bathroom-french-country-plans-3-garage-8851
I'm thinking that house looks pretty damn big, but I need to confirm this two story info. I'm dicking around until I stumble across a site that has CONSTRUCTION HISTORY!!!! Yes, this is what I want. Here it is:
http://commercial-real-estate.findthedata.com/l/113710/5037-Connecticut-Ave-NW-Washington-DC-20008
CONSTRUCTION DETAILS:
Number of Floors 2
This site gives a lot more information, but it pulls info from County Records so the original construction was two floors and that's where it's stayed. I was thinking maybe the two floors didn't include the basement, but the original construction included a flat roof which it has, and no change in the real estate info. It would seem that if a top floor were taken off, the real estate price would reflect that because the square footage would drop which it hasn't.
As I said this site has more info and includes previous owners. I don't see the Thai Room which was the restaurant before Comet Pizza took over. Not sure why. But it does show Big Cheese LLC and Comet Pizza at the location. Big Cheese LLC is the name of the business, and Comet Pizza is the name they're doing business as. It's confirmed by the liquor license application signed by James Alefantis. The profits are split between the two names. Again, not sure why, but maybe it's a business thing that makes sense to them.

Don't know if its useful but with your information I had been able to get information about the former ownership of the building:
So the building had been sold by "Thai Room" in June 23, 2005.

Anyone looked up Carol Greenwood? I read reviews of Bucks from recently, to past years. Very interesting reviews of this way overpriced joint of very small dishes, overpriced of some very low quality dishes ( chicken fingers is one example), ones that state they liked the restaurant and food better or still did not like with Carol involved, extreme discrepancy in reviews, more outsiders that complain of very lousy service and horrid attitudes of staff even with prior reservations, refusals to be flexible on meals for children/vegetarians/ other dietary medical needs.
And so much more to be found by reading and comparing reviews and the year of the review.
Aside, the Adisperse soaps are also overpriced as $7 and up. Even fancy, organic, small batch made soap at boutique level are often $2.50 to $5.00. Herbal oils used, sell for $5-$12 dollars for an entire bottle. Tincture glass bottles, the time, and lipstick containers are less than 80 cents to buy in bulk, even without an ein number to buy wholesale.
A disperse ( Sp?) leads to the colors of white, off white, brown to black shades, naturally without dyes.
Various dyes in makeup, cosmetic, health products require an additional license. Advertising as health aids requires additional license. More legal factors.
Wrote about this in more specs and sources on another subverse.
Yet, relates also to Comet health dept reports. Various required plans are absent that food preparation in bulk requires with the tomato jarring, various areas were not accessed in the tomato jarring/ cheese curdling/ hot to freeze process/ clams/ freezer, sewage, draining requirements, nor the freezer safety handles and latch so no staff get locked in.
Freezer, plumbing and electric paperwork with county is needed to look up. Also, if code or fire dept have anything on the large curtains, firedoorways and windows, fire sprinkles or spray foam( including for various kitchen greases and other types), the large curtains if accessed for fire safety costing and slip and fall and LIGHTING needs. And the white doorways that slides up to the side...
Aside, libel of ones working on this, where false is public posted can even severely negative impact and delayones that are working on on now and future life advocacy cases and as nonpublic figures is highly illegal without requiring much to be a solid libel defamation case. When ones have a life solid consistency of ethics and hard strived character and reputation they chose and worked very hard for; it is major legal harm and negative burden, impact, implications and very selfish agenda vs concern to solve pedogate and related activities of crime and corruption. Noone would do such that did give unselfishly of their life, times, costs or care of life with ethics; therefore would not even be safe for child safety. I've noticed that a july2015 case on this platform that can be found under atko profile, appears to be rehashed and additional spices added to continue the drama on here. I highly recommend to review that verse and related ones that had transpired before a lot of us ever knew of this joint or anyone ever involved for expanded awareness and clarifications that outcome to make this issue on here, very unwelcoming, unsafe and devaluing the mass labour of research, posting and giving to an Issue that has proven nonsafe to delve in. I highly recommend to inform others before telling ones to blindly come on here and be upfront about series of events, associated risks, including ways to protect their ispn. Honesty and carin of ones safety, healthy boundaries and associated risks, go a long way in ethics as a choice. I would not tell someone, esp a female to walk on a dangerous road, and the web to apps are virtual roads and locations. I know that I would have appreciated that honest upfrontness and have the track record of such. Culpability is a legal term.

Double checked the Adult Shows links for the Thai Room - those look to be paid advertisement links on all the restaurants for hulutrip so they are not specific to Thai Room.

Oh, this is great! 70 seats, huh? Well, you calculate 12-15 feet per customer. So 70 X 12 would be 840. It leaves plenty of space for the ping pong tables & floor show.
